Yokohama<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yokohama is a large city just south of Tokyo. We stopped by to see its new refurbished harbour district, Minato Mirai 21<\/em>. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The posts in the street here have the compass directions on them. As someone who has gotten lost countless times in Japan, I can’t tell you just how welcome this is. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not the <\/strong>Leaf building, unfortunately.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the Landmark Tower. It’s the tallest building in Japan with a height of 295.8 metres. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s a shopping centre inside which is pretty swish. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Moe Garden doesn’t sell moe goods per se, but it does have some nice Ghibli goods.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

There’s also a Pokemon centre in this building. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This giant ferris wheel is just about the only Yokohama landmark that I recognise (thanks to Zettai Shounen<\/em>). I think it may be part of a theme park. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This dizzying sculpture occupies the space between the Landmark Tower and Queen’s Square. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These three buildings make up Queen’s Square. There’s a shopping arcade on the lower floors that passes through all three of them.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Snoopy Town inside Queen’s Square. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This shell-shaped building is some sort of hotel. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You can get a great view of the harbour from a platform near the hotel. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yokohama has one of the largest Chinatowns in the world. Like all other Chinatowns, it’s filled with restaurants and trinket stores. <\/p>\n
