19.Gas tank in Hiranuma (near Hiranuma 2-chome 11-31)
The Minato Mirai 21 district has now become the face of Yokohama. There is no shortage of actors, such as the landmark tower, Nippon Maru, and the largest Ferris wheel in Japan, Cosmo Clock 21, but one more thing I don't want to forget is Hiranuma's gas tank. It's not gorgeous, but why is this a powerful under the edge and an unprofitable supporting role that supplies gas in the city.
If you stand up close again, you will be overwhelmed by its dignity. You should have been familiar with it for decades, but if you count how many there were, at least four. The night view here is like a UFO base.
In 1872, Kaemon Takashima invested his private property to create Japan's first gas company and contributed to the spread of gas lamps. You are still working hard across the ages.
