On the Columbus Day holiday, we decided to head out to Yokohama. Yokohama is about a 45 minute train ride from us and is Japan's second largest city. Yokohama has tons to do in it--great restaurants, great shopping, the tallest building in Japan, etc. We decided to first hit Chinatown, which is the largest chinatown in Japan and one the the largest in the world. After just walking around for a little bit, Eric and I decided that we LOVE chinatown and can't wait to go back and explore more. First off, the food is amazing--they had tons of street vendors selling food and next time I think we will just eat as we walk. I have noticed since we have moved here, we eat out all the time, because the food is just AMAZING!! Another funny thing that happened is that we had about 3 people stop us and want to take pictures of their kids with our kids. It is so funny, I told Eric we need to start taking pictures of our kids with Asian kids! Anyways, here are a couple of pictures to give you an idea of what it is like!
Eric and Kailey in front of one of the many temples. I couldn't believe how ornate and colorful everything was!
Ethan posing in front of the lion statue
They had these really fun tiles on the sidewalk as you walked along. I thought they were so unusual.
The doorway to a chinese gift shop and restaurant. Everything was SOOO ornate and so colorful.
Almost every restaurant in Japan has a window outside where it has plastic examples of the dishes they serve. For us foreigners it makes it nice, because we can tell if we want to eat there or not. We thought this restaurant window had some interesting things in it. Notice the duck, fish and lobster at the top.
