I’ve never been to Japan but Yokohama looks pretty interesting. It seems less busier and crowded then Tokyo that’s for sure.

I will give it a 7.

 

[Mr Rager]

Fun spot, great restaurants.
Definitely less chaotic than Tokyo. Yokohama has some really nice sights too. I'd definitely go again. I'd rather live there than Tokyo tbh. Gave it a 9.

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Heard so many good things about Yokohama, most especially in regards to restaurants, seafood, scenery, pace of life, and culture. Definitely in my Top 5 cities to check out in Japan.

Got more details about this city breh? Always curious about Yokohama.

 

[-deleted-]

A vet from my old job was stationed there decades ago, he used to tell me how the women there loved black men especially since he was a performing singer in the army

 

[staticshock]

Anywhere in Japan gets a 7/8 from me. Loved when I was stationed there. Good folks over there

This picture is breathtaking. Is that Mt. Fuji? My God there truly are some incredible places on earth.........

Yeah, that’s Mount Fuji. The mountain is very tall and can be viewed from Tokyo, Kamakura and Hakone.

Sure.
Two of the big tourist draws for Yokohama are Cosmoworld and the Cup Ramen Museum
The big Ferris wheel you see in most pics of Yoko is part of Cosmoworld, its a kind of rinky dink theme park IMO, but the area around it is nice to hang out at. The pier and landing around the area has food booths and musicians playing, and the lighting at night is freaking beautiful
The Cup Ramen museum is dope too. You see the history of cup ramen that started in Japan, and you can even make your own cup noodles and design the cup.
I didn't do any serious nightlife stuff there, just hung out at a few restaurants and drank so I can't speak much to the bar/club scene. But the restaurants are great and being that Yoko is a port city, the seafood is great.
You get a lot of the perks of Tokyo without the egregiously large crowds. All of the food, shopping, and activities you can get in Tokyo is in Yoko, its just a LOT quieter. The city itself is really pretty there's a lot of piers, walkable little bridges, and scenic points that you can take nice pics at.
Its definitely a nice weekend getaway, but if you've never done Japan at all I would do something else first, and if you have time, check out Yokohama.

I have been to Japan once...I didnt do my homework on what to do so I didnt have as much fun as I should have- the people were pretty nice...riding the trains was kinda bugged out. I had a chance to the downtown area where all the arcades are...I dont game much but it was cool to fall back to my youth and play arcade games...food was ok- my wife loves ramen....it not really my thing. I have to grade it incomplete - but if you do your homework- im sure you can have alot of fun there
