Every hour, the central plaza's space music box plays beautiful tunes. It's a lovely touch!

Yokohama Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown, one of Japan’s three major Chinatowns, is a district lined with countless Chinese restaurants. From affordable dishes you can enjoy as takeout or all-you-can-eat meals to authentic Chinese cuisine, there are options to suit your budget.
Among Japan's three major Chinatowns—Kobe Nankinmachi, Nagasaki Shinchi, and Yokohama—Yokohama Chinatown is the largest. It's always packed with visitors and has tons of authentic Chinese food. After eating, you can take a stroll at the nearby Yamashita Park to walk it off.

Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is located by the sea, just a short walk from Yokohama Chinatown. It was opened in March of 1930, reclaiming the waterfront using rubble caused by the Great Kanto Earthquake.
You can watch ships coming and going in the harbor and even see the Bay Bridge in the distance. The park is also a great spot for a walk and taking photos.

Kanayamachi
The 2nd lord of Kaga Domain, Maeda Toshinaga, encouraged casting in 1611 to boost the new-born castle town’s economy. Since then, the town has prospered as the Takaoka Casting’s birthplace. Kanayamachi is the oldest town in Takaoka. Along the 500m cobblestone road, homes with Senbon-Koshi latticework stand along, making up a quaint townscape.
These traditional buildings have been preserved from ancient times and haven't been spoiled by commercialism.
