This year, I took a round trip to Tokyo. Starting from Narita Airport, I stayed one night in Shinjuku, then headed to Lake Kawaguchi, and finally arrived in Yokohama. I specifically visited Yokohama's Chinatown to experience it. This place feels more like certain streets in Hong Kong or Shanghai. Chinatown is not very long, but you can experience a strong Chinese atmosphere. The food sold on the streets is mainly Chinese cuisine. I bought the Shanghai pan-fried buns that I had been craving for, but unfortunately, the taste was different from what I had in Shanghai before. Nonetheless, it was quite a unique experience.
