An interesting, semi-patriotic statue right outside the Minato-Mirai (Yokohama Sea Front) train station. You can see the giant ferris wheel in the background. I think this statue must have something to do with U.S. - Japan relations, since Yokohama was the first port city that was opened at the end of Japan's isolationist period thanks to Commodore Perry's intimidating black ships.
