I doubt you will have the time but the waterfront park in Yokohama [once US Navy housing] is the old "Bund" where the clipper ships would tie up. The crews got shore leave with the warning to be back by sailing time or they would be left behind. "Time and tide wait for no man." The Captaim and Officers would retire to the Ritzy hotels and "other" houses along the Bund. The poor sailors, if they were sober enough to remember that they had to get back to the ship, would flag down a Jinrickshaw and yell to be taken to the "Boss' street" or Honcho Dory. Being drunk, this came out as "Hunky Dory". So now you know.
