Yokohama Chinatown
If I would have free afternoon in Yokohama, where I would go ? One of interesting places is Yokohama Chinatown.
It is located not far from famous Yamashita park and Yokohama passenger port. After entering through decorative gates, it feels somehow different and lively. Many shops and restaurants, street vendors selling food and also giving free samples, tourists and locals buzzing around etc.
Video: my walk around Chinatown during Chinese New Year. Notice decorations.
There are two big temples and following photos are from one of them.
