On our second day since arriving in Japan, from Tokyo we drove to the nearby city of Yokohama. We were scheduled to visit the Cup Noodle Museum but since it was still a bit too early we walked around and we ended up in the Minato Mirai 21 area. It was very picturesque, clean and modern (well, duh, it's Japan)! The waterfront was adorned with cherry blossoms and is perfect for strolling around especially now during the spring time. You would not get bored because there is an abundance of shopping centers, restaurants, and even a theme park. Yokohama would be a perfect place to go to if you want to get away from the seriousness of Tokyo and just enjoy a sunny day.
