Nihon Odori Avenue is a road with a total length of about 430 meters, which was planned as a fire protection zone that separates Japanese and foreign settlement.
Historic buildings such as the Kanagawa Prefectural Government Main Building and the Yokohama Media and Communications Center (former Yokohama Chamber of Commerce and Industry Promotion Hall) are concentrated along the roadside, forming a street landscape that extends the history since the opening of the port.
