Yokohama is a sea of people, Zushi is a beach town
Week 2 and we're still working on the kitchen. Send.hlp?
Anyway, Sunday we went to Yokohama, which is more an inner-ring suburb of Tokyo as it were. There were so many people! Like a sea of humanity. And that wasn't even in central Tokyo! I picked up some cheap swag, but mostly forgot to take pictures.
Ducks on our way to the station. I like ducks.
The only picture I took in Yokohama, an entire store of nothing but Capsule machines. I have friends who are not allowed to come to Japan!
We also went to Book-Off! which is a chain of second hand / thrift stores. Where you can find everything on the cheap. In addition to Animate! (anime store), the Yokohama branch of DonKi, and many other stores and such. All within like a couple blocks of the station. Japan understands verticality!
On the way back we stopped at Zushi, which feels like a beach town. Apparently we were like halfway to the beach at the shopping arcade area, but totally didn't know it. We had amazing ice cream at Creamahop, which at first I was like "ok, this is expensive" because the cost per scoop seemed really high. Then when the actual dish arrived, nope! Totally worth the cost!
In Zushi, the dolls are watching.
I'd say patriotic but it's the wrong country XD
Behold, swag!
On Monday I took a walk to nearby Manyo Park, which has definitely seen better days. Still, it was close. I'm hoping in the near future to get over to Tateishi Park on the opposite coast as well as Sarushima Beach over on Monkey Island (Sarushima). But that's for later times!
Manyo Park Forest
Fuzzies
The "main" path. The park basically consisted of a path which bypassed the road above and featured a small, very unkempt tea garden looking area.
Lycoris
The inevitable return of Boris! (not sure the species, but these guys are *everywhere* around here)
