This video documents a solo travel adventure through the vibrant streets of Yokohama Chinatown (横浜中華街), highlighting a gourmet walking tour with unique local foods and notable sightseeing stops. The host begins her journey by exploring Chinatown’s bustling food stalls, sampling specialties like pan-fried soup dumplings (焼き小籠包) at Houtenkaku Sake House (鵬天閣 酒家) and a massive Taiwanese-style fried chicken (大鶏排) from Kiki Bisho (喜喜美食). These popular snacks represent Yokohama Chinatown’s diverse culinary offerings.

Continuing the trip, the video features a visit to Yamashita Park (山下公園), a scenic waterfront area known for its walking paths, the historical ship Hikawa Maru (日本郵船氷川丸), and the statue of the girl with red shoes (赤い靴はいてた女の子像) which is a recognizable local landmark. The adventure then continues to Elephant Nose Terrace and Park (像の鼻テラス・像の鼻パーク), followed by a stroll to the famous Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse (横浜赤レンガ倉庫), a repurposed historic warehouse now serving as a cultural and commercial complex.

A major highlight is the Yokohama Air Cabin (横浜エアキャビン), Japan’s first urban ropeway, connecting Sakuragicho and Canal Park and providing panoramic skyline and waterfront views. The route also passes by Minato Mirai and Nippon Maru Memorial Park, ideal for a picnic or relaxing break. Wrapping up, the host purchases a sweet souvenir pastry (番餅, Banpin) from Jukei Hanten (重慶飯店 第一売店) and enjoys it on the Shinkansen train, demonstrating how to savor local treats even after the day’s adventure.

Yokohama’s Chinatown is Japan’s largest, offering a rich mix of Chinese food stalls, souvenir shops, and churches. Yamashita Park and the Red Brick Warehouse are among the city’s top tourist destinations, easily accessible by public transport and within walking distance of each other. The Air Cabin provides a unique way to view the Port of Yokohama area, cementing this city as a favorite getaway just outside of Tokyo.
