The monument is a book that shows on the left page a musical scope and the words in Japanese of the song "San Diego, the Beautiful"
On the right page of the book, the inscription reads:
"This plaque, a replica of the one in Yokahama, has been presented to the citizens of San Diego to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of our sister city affiliation. The song engraved on it "San Diego,
the Beautiful" is the theme song of the Yokohama-San Diego Friendship Committee, and is well known by the citizens of Yokohama. We hope that the citizens of San Diego will also come to love it and that it will echo across the Pacific as a symbol our everlasting friendship.
