The Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of History is located in the Naka Ward of Yokohama, near the intersection of Bashamichi and Honmachi Streets, on a corner between Minami-Naka Street and Benten Street. Housed in the building of the former Yokohama Specie Bank, the museum is interesting not only for its imposing exterior, but also for those interested in history, as its exhibits are quite substantial.
