Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi

May 4, 2012

After having an all nighter at my friends house I met up with my seminar senpai to go walk around the Yokohama Chinatown and Motomachi area.

My friend used to go to school around this area so she knows a lot of the restaurants and nice places.

We decided to go this chinese tea store.

This is a timer.

We ordered two tea sets.

The tea on the left was more sweet. The tea on the right had more of a nice smell.

I don't remember any of the names but it was really nice. 

It also came with some asian desserts.

This was made out of sticky rice.

Chinese festival?

We then directly went for dinner and had some chinese beer.

Yumm yumm shrimp steamed dumpling

Then visited some temples around the area.

You really forget that you are in japan for a second.

Yum yum milk ice shaving with mango.

We then visited the other side of the road which is motomachi.

Motomachi is a fancy area with boutiques.

Walked up the long road to visit the american graveyard and the beautiful western buildings.

My friend super excited to visit her old school.

We can see mount fuji and the ocean from here.

Old telephone box. Isn't it cute? :D

Many western looking buildings around this area.

My friend's junior high. Damn so blurry.

I think this is a great date spot. All the buildings and roads were so pretty.
