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.
The festive atmosphere is really strong here! If you visit during the New Year, you can catch dragon and lion dance performances and really feel the holiday spirit!
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.
The food is definitely a highlight of Yokohama Chinatown. From traditional dim sum to all kinds of regional dishes like shumai, shrimp dumplings, Peking duck, and a huge variety of fried noodles and rice, everything tasted authentic and mouthwatering.
