Yokahama

Great city for Shopping , sightseeing, and cuisine. Yokahama City has the second largest poplulation in the country. We started our trip here and stayed at the New Otani Inn. It was small, carpet old, but a nice place to stay. It's clean and the staff was very nice and helpful. It's also close to one of the train stations which makes it easy to get to just about anywhere!

Landmark Tower

It was a beautiful cold sunny day. The Landmark Tower has a panoramic view from the 69th Floor. You can see all of Yokahama and beyond! (even Mt. Fuji in the distance which had a snow covered top)

Chinatown

Chinatown street

Lots of fun! Food vendors, shops and great restaurants.

Pros and Cons

Pros:No tipping anywhere in Japan ...what a plus!
Cons:Trains can be difficult to figure out but not impossible
In a nutshell:Yokahama is a great city, we had lots of fun.

I noticed that you have a page for "Yokohama". Your Yokohama tips are for Yokohama in Kanagawa-ken (near Tokyo) however you have accidentally placed them in the Yokohama in Aomori-ken (near Hokkaido). I just thought you may want to know this.

Thanks for the tips! Been wanting to visit Japan, but it seems overwhelming.
