Yokohama From Above
Sorry for this anemic photo as this isn't mine.
Port of Yokohama is a must-see if you are in the city. I recomment to go there after sundown, and go out to the pier, that's name does not occur to me now. There are many things that make the scene wonderful: the tallest building of Japan, a Ferris-wheel, a beautiful bridge, and an old ship. It is not all, there is much more things to see, recommended.
As China town in Yokohama-shi is the largest one in Japan, you might get lost to the area. One need to have a map of their own when visiting. You can have a copy in the nearby public office just across the street infront of the Yokohama Stadium.
