Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
Coming to Yokohama Chinatown for Lunar New Year is the move. The festive vibe is everywhere, and there’s all kinds of Chinese food. Even Taiwanese fried chicken cutlets and boba milk tea are a super popular combo!
Inokashira Park
Inokashira Park, stretching across Musashino City and Mitaka City in Tokyo, opened in 1917 as the first imperial gift park in Japan, and celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2017.
A great spot for a walk or a picnic. You can enjoy the sunshine and all the fallen leaves under the trees, or sit by the pond and just watch the water while you reflect and meditate.
It’s a nice place to get away from the city’s busy pace, clear your head, and ease some stress.
Ueno Park
Ueno Park, officially known as "Ueno Onshi Park," is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo. Managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Construction Bureau, the park spans an impressive area of 530,000 square meters and has a rich history.
It’s amazing that a city can still hold an environment this rich in nature. Even though Shinobazu Pond doesn’t have much greenery in winter, it has a different kind of beauty—nature’s own lively buzz.
