Yokohama Chinatown, also known in Japanese as "Yokohama Chūkagai" (横浜中華街), is Japan's biggest Chinatown, a vibrant and bustling area filled with Chinese culture and all kinds of Chinese food from the famous Peking Duck to baked soup dumplings. The town was established after the port of Yokohama was opened to foreign trade way back in 1859, with many Chinese traders coming in and out and further contributing to the diverse landscape of the city. Here you can explore the colorful streets lined with shops selling a variety of goods from tea sets, Feng Shui items, and traditional Chinese herbs, to name a few. What you can’t miss out on when in Yokohama Chinatown is its many restaurants! Expect to bite into authentic Chinese cuisine like all kinds of steamed buns, pork buns, red bean buns, even panda-shaped ones too! You can also find other favorites like egg tarts, and more. What makes this Chinatown worth a spot in your itinerary is the lively atmosphere, the blend of Japanese and Chinese culture, and the sheer variety of tasty treats and unique finds.

When I booked my trip to Tokyo, the one thing that I wanted to do was to immerse myself into the JDM car scene. Julie - my guide, and the team at gaijin tuned made that dream a reality. I can't help but express my gratitude to the team at Gaijintune.

it was a very pleasant and full of excitement evening journey with these guys.. very well serviced, very profesionals, and informative.. we had a really nice time during the tour. Starts from Akihabara, goes thru the highway Wangan and others, while Syu is explaining and chitchating about car culture in Japan. Had a good turnout in Daikoku, spent about an hour there, taking lots of photos and videos, while talking to car enthusiasts there too. after that went to Autobacs, and a little night run here and in between with the car groups. finally Photo with the tokyo tower as background.. they drops us by our hotel which was not too far. and went thru shibuya crossing and met some other guys and car / bike enthusiasts there too... very lovely and memorable tour.. Syu and the other friends are also great Guides.. very recommended, and will come back for more. thx

1. Check-out time is 11 o'clock, but Klook official website shows 10 o'clock. I feel like I got an extra hour. 2. The sofa bed didn't seem to be cleaned very well, and there were several flea bites on my feet.

The location is great. There are supermarkets and convenience stores nearby, so it's convenient to buy things and cook them yourself. There is also a washing machine, which is very convenient.

The main attractions in Yokohama can be reached by taking the red bus and the blue bus. You can also enjoy the scenery along the way. After purchasing, you don’t need to exchange for a physical ticket. You can just show the screen of your mobile phone. It is very convenient.
