The Modern Side of Yokohama
After dedicating the morning to Yokohama's historic harbor district and grabbing lunch in Asia's largest Chinatown, we moved farther north up the bay and spent the afternoon in the more modern part of town.
Yokohama’s Chinatown
Outside of China, the largest Chinatown in Asia can be found in Yokohama. Hundreds of restaurants and shops are packed into this colorful and boisterous neighborhood, along with a multitude of gates and temples, and (if you're visiting at lunch time) approximately 34 billion students looking for a cheap meal.
A Trip to Yokohama
After Tokyo, Yokohama is the second-biggest city in Japan, with a population approximately equal to that of Los Angeles. The idea of dedicating a single day to it is absurd, but Yokohama is so easily accessible from Tokyo that it actually makes for an excellent short excursion.
