Yamashita Park is a waterfront attraction in Yokohama that's perfect for a leisurely stroll. As you walk slowly along the shore, you can enjoy open views of the harbor and watch the boats coming and going, while the sea breeze feels especially pleasant.

They’re a good choice for when you’re craving a snack.

When visiting Yokohama Chinatown, I came with a Japanese friend to try this popular meat bun! With one bite, the piping-hot dough and tender, juicy meat filling were so satisfying to eat while walking around. My friend said it’s very well known in Chinatown, and the line certainly showed how popular it is. If you’re exploring Chinatown and see a line at this dim sum shop, you might as well grab one too.
