Yokohama

After 3 days straight of Tokyo, I needed a little break so I went over to Yokohama. I wasn't expecting too much because there were only about 4 things on my list of things to see there. It turned out to be really nice! I highly enjoyed my time there! The places that I saw were beautiful. The also reminded me of being back home on Navy Pier. When I arrived, I went straight to Yamashita Park. There, I just kind of walked around and enjoyed the view.

After eating some ice cream in the park, I decided to head over to the Marine Tower to see it up close!

From the Marine Tower, I wanted to explore! There was an international docking terminal right next to the park. There was a observation deck there that had quite the view! I took a couple of panoramas of the city and sea.

I moved on to explore some more! I stumbled upon two more parks, the Red Brick Warehouse, and Yokohama Stadium!

Home of the Yokohama Baystars. Who wants to go to a game this year?!

 I ended my evening with a stroll around Yokohama Chinatown. It was huge! I ate a lot of amazing Chinese food and a dumpling that was almost the size of my head!

The temple at the heart of Chinatown :) It was very ornate!

I loved this getaway from Tokyo!
