The NYK Maritime Museum, located in Yokohama, Japan, welcomed its 500,000th visitor on October 6 2018. (The NYK Maritime Museum opened in December 1993 and underwent a renewal and name change in 2003.)

The lucky guest was a Mr. and Mrs. Nozaki, which resides in Komae city, Tokyo, and in recognition of the visit, the couple was presented with a pair of tickets to a dinner cruise from the Cruise Club Tokyo, provided by an NYK Group company, a description of the museum’s current exhibition, flowers, and a photo.

On receiving the recognition, Mr. and Mrs. Nozaki commented, “This is the first time for us to visit Yokohama in 20 years, and we feel happy to make a good memory here.

To commemorate this milestone, small gifts will be given to 50 visitors each day for 23 days between October 6 to 29 2018.

A special exhibition featuring the history of posters and pamphlets of NYK and the artists involved, is being held until October 28. In addition, a new cosponsored exhibition with the Seiko Museum will be held from November 3.
