Yokohama Photos

Yokohama was great fun - lots of big-city sights, restaurants and other "things of interest". I hadn't been to Yokohama in at least five years, so it was a bit nostalgic walking around familiar places; it was also rather disconcerting, though, to see that so much had changed in what, to me, is such a short time.

Our first stop in the big city was Yokohama station, where we found a Yodabashi camera and did some good browsing. From there we took the train two stops to Kannai, where we had a great Mexican dinner and frosty margaritas. Our hotel was also in Kannai, which is a pretty "happening" part of Yokahama and within walking distance of cool areas like the Minato-Mirai shopping area(The Futuristic Port), China town and Yamashita park. We spent all our time in these places, enjoying the sights, lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe in Queen's Square, and taking photos when the weather and other conditions allowed.

After walking around Chinatown all day when my feet were already tired from the previous day's walking, so when we found some Chinese shoes in one of the shops, I couldn't resist - my heeled boots were much better off being carried, anyway!

Despite the chilly weather we made sure enjoy the night view of "Minato Mirai" with Landmark Tower and the ferris wheel. We did get some better night shots and Brian is working to make them HDR photos before posting.
