Japan 2024 - Yokohama (Day 19 of 21)

***This post is a recount of the trip after I returned to Singapore from the trip.***

Today for the prefecture, I chose Yokohama based on my friend's suggestion to visit a port city in Japan. May or may not be the fact that Pokemon has a huge presence in Yokohama also. HAHA. The train ride there was insane because the local train ran alongside the Shinkansen routes most of the trip. Good views!


Still had like half the amount of physical cash left since the start of the trip. Really have to spend more before I leave Japan! The Pokemon Center had a queue system that required me to wait for over a hour to enter the store.


So I went one floor down to window shop at the other toy stores. Except that I didn't window shop. I bought a Pokemon card. HAHA. One hour flew by so fast and I'm inside Pokemon Center. I looked around and just grabbed everything that I saw and wanted to get in the Pokemon Center in Kyoto.


The queue to pay was 2 hours. Crazy shit. But for Pokemon products, it was understandable. In the 2 booster packs of the Eevee set that is currently sold out everywhere, I even got a rare card! Pokemon Center only limits each buyer to 2 packs and there is no way I'm gonna re-queue 2 hours for another 2 packs.


Continued randomly walking around the city after I was done with my purchases. Yokohama is actually really peaceful compared to central Tokyo and I'm glad I made this day trip out here. The sea views are insane and it reminds me of Wollongong beach. Really brought me right back to Australia's vibes!






The views are so nice I took way more photos of the city that I did for a few days in other cities. Ate one dinner in Yokohama and one dinner later on back near my hostel. The steak and udon was nice, but the rice and udon at Nakau is still superior.



Nothing much to be said about Tokyo. Pretty much done with the city and can't wait to go home already!
