A citizens' chorus and fireworks marked the anniversary of the opening of Port Yokohama to international trade on Wednesday evening.
Port Yokohama near Tokyo -- one of Japan's major ports -- was opened to foreign ships by the Tokugawa Shogunate government in 1859.
This year's festival took place at a park in the Minato- Mirai district, which overlooks the port.
About 1,000 citizens, from small children to seniors in their 80s, participated in the choral concert, singing 8 songs, including the city's anthem and popular tunes. The participants rehearsed for 2 months for the event.
At the end of the concert, 3,000 fireworks were set off against the background of the Yokohama Bay Bridge.
