Yokohama Bayside Marina

Dinner @ Gyukatsu Motomura

I’ve seen this chain at many places throughout Japan. They do delicious beef katsu, very much raw with a sear. There’s a hotplate to grill them to perfection and sauces to dip them in to enjoy with the salads and rice. Easy recommendation from me.

Sakura in Kurihama

It may be a little early, but certain species of cherry blossoms (sakura) actually fully bloom a little outside the famous “mankai” period, including these just on the side of the road in Kurihama (south of Yokohama and Yokosuka).

Gundam Factory Yokohama

Opened during the inopportune time of COVID as a temporary attraction, I’m glad to have seen it before it’s impending closure at the end of this month. If you’re in Tokyo/Yokohama anytime this month, book a ticket for your chance to see the world’s largest mobile humanoid robot (per Guinness)!
