Chukagai

Yesterday, during our lunch break, Russ and I explored Chukagai (Chinatown) a bit, which is the neighborhood adjacent to ours. Yokohama used to be the area in which all foreigners were required to live, and Chukagai is the sub-area in which Chinese inhabitants dwelled. Apparently, it was pretty much eradicated by earthquakes and war, but then came back in the early 1970s. Today, it's a nice area with lots of restaurants, import shops and Kantei-byo (the picture attached here, a temple to the god of business).

Laurea reports that her favorite things about Japan are cherry blossoms and sushi.
