I only meant to take a look, but the aroma pulled me right in.
I didn’t have huge expectations at first, but once I tried it, I was genuinely impressed! The dim sum at Kocho Dim Sum Shop had chewy wrappers and generous fillings. Every bite was really well done, easily on par with famous places people line up for.
Having a world competition champion chef here is clearly no joke. Next time I’m in Yokohama Chinatown, I’d definitely come back!

Don Quijote Shinjuku Kabukicho Store
Don Quijote Shinjuku Kabukicho Store is the discount shop drawing shoppers from near and wide for its whopping selection and unbeatable prices. Sat at the entrance of Kabukicho, Japan’s largest entertainment district, the store is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year so you can easily pop in for shopping whether on your way during the day or night.
How can you come to Japan and not stop by Don Quijote? Every time I say, “I’ll just buy a few things,” I end up walking out with several bags in my hands.
You can find everything here: snacks, drugstore items, cosmetics, electronics, and souvenirs. The prices are often cheaper than expected, and there are lots of limited-edition items to hunt for.
Whether you’re stocking up or just buying random stuff, it’s way too easy to go overboard here. I recommend making a list first. Also, download the app so you can use coupons! Otherwise, your wallet might cry! -

Yokohama Cosmo World
This multi-level urban amusement park has a bit of everything, from thrilling rides like a giant Ferris wheel and roller coasters to games, haunted houses, virtual reality attractions using VR and 3D technologies, and children’s rides like merry-go-rounds and character cars.
The giant Ferris wheel is what drew me to Yokohama Cosmo World the most. The ocean views during the day and the night views after dark are both gorgeous! Best of all, there’s no admission fee. You just buy tickets for the rides you want, so it won’t wreck your budget.
They have everything from thrilling roller coasters and VR attractions to cute merry-go-rounds. It’s great for dates, family trips, or hanging out with friends. When the Ferris wheel lights up at night, it feels so romantic. If you’re visiting Yokohama, definitely add this stop to your itinerary! -

bills Osaka
Opened in 2017 at LUCUA 1100, a commercial facility directly connected to JR Osaka Station, bills Osaka is the eighth all-day dining "bills" restaurant in Japan by Bill Granger, a restaurateur from Sydney.
I just had to try the super popular bills! I came specifically for their signature pancakes this time. They’re made to order, so you do have to wait a bit, but the first bite made it totally worth it 🥞.
They were fluffy and soft, with a light eggy aroma, and not too sweet. The butter and syrup were just right. The relaxed dining atmosphere plus a hot plate of pancakes made for one of the most comforting moments of the trip. I’d definitely come back next time. -
