We wanted to enjoy and try some Chinese food in Japan. I really enjoy walking around and seeing so much food. There’s many all you can eat places and a lot of tanhulu. Make sure you have water and keep yourself hydrated. There’s many beautiful monuments to look at and street food! Definitely recommend you coming here and enjoy the culture/food.
Subway took me straight to the entrance. Lots of places to eat. I found the famous place where they sold the buns that looked like cute animals. No wait time. It was a hot day, though. So it will be very hot walking down the street during the summer. Plan accordingly.
Absolutely must come during dusk and evening. The place is light up like a carnival in such a beautiful way. Largest Chinatown in Japan and it shows. Sprawls through a good portion of Yokohama. Highly recommend spending some time down there even if you’re not hungry (you’ll eventually get hungry seeing all the great food on display). If you can catch it on a rainy day (like I did) even better.
Honestly, I’m a bit disappointed of this place. I like the part that is probably the cleanest Chinatown in the world, for that reason doesn’t quite feel like a Chinatown, it feels a bit artificial like visiting a Disney park.
You can find interesting stores and get some decent food with a Japanese twist. Not bad.
It’s all very touristic so don’t expect much authenticity.
