Yokohama Chinatown

Chinatown is a term used in every country for a place where you can feel true Chinese cultures, even though you are not in China. Japan also has its own Chinatown, that lies precisely in Yokohama Prefecture. Only 1 hour away by train from Tokyo, this place offers a lot of things that you can enjoy as a local or tourist. Ranging from Chinese souvenirs, drinks, foods, and many other stuff that you can buy, you definitely won’t regret coming here! I personally really like this place since they have foods with authentic flavours that other places in Japan don’t have. This also reminds me of home as well, where my mom usually cooks the same type of foods. The prices are not that expensive, so they are all definitely worth it. You will be guaranteed with an extraordinary time and experience in Yokohama Chinatown, that being the best place to get to experience Chinese cultures, hands down.

First Time in Yokohama

On May 2019, I went to Yokohama for the first time with my church friends. We had a teen camp where we learn about the bible together as well as having fun. The weather during that time was still pretty cold, so some of us wore our winter coat. Yokohama is located near the beach, and it is also my first time going to a beach in Japan. From the building where we stayed, it only took 5 minutes of walking towards the sea area. We can also see the amusement park located at the opposite side of the beach. It was a very beautiful scenery, especially during sunset.
