"Yokohama" Yokohama by KevinMichael

Yokohama Travel Guide: 268 reviews and 783 photos

One of Japan's most exciting places to be

For years, I've heard from so many that this is the place to go and if possible the place to live. Yokohoma offers so much to the visitor and I'm sure for those living there as well. Much like San Francisco, where I'm originally from, Yokohama has its own China town, beautiful piers, bridges, parks, plenty of places to eat and shop. It also has one of the largest shopping malls I've ever been to. And on top of that a Hard Rock Cafe.

For the view

Yokohama Marine Tower

Yokohama also has a tower for taking in the view of the city. There are other areas in Yokohama to take in the view as well including a gigantic ferris wheel located farther away from the Marine area.

Plenty of things like this

So, this is what falling to my death would be like

For those who are up for the thrill or sheer terror of it, there are plenty of things like this in Yokohama. After going on this "ride", I chuck it up as one of those things I never ever want to do again. But, I'm sure there are pleny of others who don't have the fear of heights that I do. So, be my guest and go for it.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Lot's of fun and excitement.
In a nutshell:A really fun place. Exciting atmosphere.

Nice Yokohama page you have. I used to live in Yokohama more than 20 years ago. Keep good work.
