Statue of Kamon Head

Please note that the content introduced here may differ from the current one.

It was in Meiji 42 (1909) that a bronze statue of Iibu Ooibe Naosuke was erected on this hill because he was a meritorious person at the opening of Yokohama Port.

In the unveiling of the statue, he seemed to have been in trouble over the evaluation of the head of Kamon. In addition, this bronze statue was sacrificed for metal recovery during World War II, and was in the midst of the fear of offerings. It can be said that Mr. Kamon has been a lot of trouble since the strangeness outside Sakuradamon.

Today, the beautifully well-maintained name stands in a corner of Kamonyama Park, overlooking the 21st district of Minato Mirai, which is open every day. In the cherry blossom season, it is full of cherry blossoms and cherry blossoms. Yokohama Noh-theater, one of the places of Yokohama Niina, is in a park.
