YOKOHAMA

Yokohama is situated on the Bay of Tokyo, in lat. 35 deg. 26 min. 11 sec. N., and long. 139 deg. 39 min. 20 sec., and is distant about 20 miles from the capital, with which it is connected by several lines of steam and electric railways. A very small fishing village when it was opened to foreign trade in 1859, its proximity to the capital quickly led to its development and it was for many years the leading port of Japan. The surrounding

·

scenery is hilly and pleasing, and on clear days the sllow-crowned summit and graceful outlines of Fuji-san, a a volcanic mountain 12,370 feet high--celebrated in Japanese literature and depicted on innumerable native works of art-is most distinctly visible, though some 50 miles distant. Adjoining the harbour is the site of what was known before the abolition of extra-territoriality, as the foreign settlement. Beyond the plain on which the town is built rises a sort of semi- circle of low hills called

"The Bluff," on which are situated the residences of many members
