There are quite a lot of ships in Yokohama this season, some of which have already been mentioned here on Yokohama Living such as the Cuautemoc sail training ship from Mexico. (Check out some photos of Cuautemoc.) Japan’s own Kaiwo Maru II was also here for a short time and I managed to snap a few photos a few days ago. It was here as part of the Port Opening Festival (Kaikousai).

The “Cuauhtemoc” visit to Yokohama is to celebrate both the 400 anniversary of the first friendly contacts between Mexico and Japan, and to celebrate Y-150. Actually, Y-150 organizers invited her to take part in the celebrations and is part of the official Y-150 program.

The vessel will arrive into Yokohama in May 27th at 10 am and it will be open to the public from May 28th to June 5th (10:00 – 17:00 hrs).It will dock at the Port of Yokohama, Shinko Pier, No. 5 Berth.

Below is the old itinerary that has been changed because of the swine flu.

More information on the Y150 website (Japanese).
