I’ve already covered the much-used appearance of the Yokohama Red-Brick Warehouse waterfront in so many dramas , but there’s a particular part of the park that’s now become quite fashionable as the backdrop recently. It’s the grassy area in front of the Nippon Maru Memorial Park with the striking image of the Yokohama Landmark Tower behind it:
Saw it first in Ousama ni Sasagu Kusuriyubi (with Kanna Hashimoto and Ryosuke Yamada in the clovers)...
Followed by a brief backdrop in Sexy Tanaka-San with Haruka Kinami and Meru Nukumi...
Most times you can see the masts of the Nippon Maru Ship sticking up behind them, but so far I haven't see them unfurled in any drama. In fact, I had to go onto Google to see what it looked like with the sails up!
Since then I’ve seen it in a few more places (though sometimes not quite at the same angle) in dramas like My Second Aoharu and Kotatsu ga Ienai…among others that I just can’t remember right now~!
In any case, love that this is becoming the new place where the characters have their “personal talk” scenes… hope to see more!
