It is near the Guanti Temple in Chinatown. The characters are too small to read, but it seems that they translated and published an English newspaper.

This monument is located near the Yokohama Sekitei Mausoleum in a corner of Yokohama Chinatown. It seems that the "overseas newspaper" published in this area by Joseph Hiko in 1864 is said to have originated from newspapers in Japan. Joseph Hiko was rescued by an American merchant ship after suffering from a storm and traveled to the United States, and then came to Japan as an American consulate employee and published a newspaper. I learned a very interesting history.
