Tokyo 5 - Yokohama

So the final evening/day of our trip was spent in Yokohama, which is the second largest city in Japan and treads on the coat tails of Tokyo. Yokohama seemed on first impressions to be more open than Tokyo and the bay area in which we stayed was quite beautiful (despite the strong wind!).

The Pan Pacific Hotel was amazing. We were on the 23rd floor, with some amazing views of the bay, and had access to a private bar area, which looked out onto the city too. The staff were great here and its one of the best hotels I have stayed in.

We took a trip to Yokohama's Chinatown which is the largest in Japan. It was pretty cool, with plenty of Chinese food and atmosphere. I found it a little strange why Street vendors kept giving me their horse chestnuts for free...

I definately recommend Yokohama for a few days if you travel to Tokyo. It's a nice diversion and has an atmosphere of its own.
