Yamate foreign settlement was strongly connected to historical events at the opening of Yokohama's history and its port. Many beautiful western houses on the hillside disappeared in the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 but a few of them remain. Those existing were mostly built after the earthquake. Seven of these western houses are preserved by the city and open to the public to give people a taste of Yokohama's history.
