    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!

    Honestly, the Chinese food here leans more Japanese-style. It’s not as bold as in Hong Kong, but it still has its own unique character.

    Oh my gosh! 😦
    It was absolutely packed, even busier than Temple Street! I wouldn't recommend coming on weekends! Honestly, it felt just as crowded as Asakusa or Ueno.
