Motomachi-dori Avenue, Yokohama

増徳院境内から元町通りを見る｡山手の山裾に位置する元町は､開港場建設に際して旧横浜村の住民が移住して生まれた町｡居留外国人の需要に応ずる商業地として発展した｡左手の山上に見えるのは､元町百段上の浅間神社｡View of Motomachi Street from the grounds of Zotokuin Temple. Located at the foot of the hill, Motomachi was created when displaced residents of the old Yokohama Village moved here after the opening of the port. Motomachi prospered as a commercial centre catering to foreign residents of the settlement. Sengen Shinto Shrine is visible on the hill to the left, at the top of the Motomachi steps (Motomachi Hyakudan)
