top things to do in Yokohama one of my
favorite places near Tokyo is Yokohama
so the thing is you Oklahoma has just so
much stuff to do here I can dedicate
several different videos on food on
places to go but I wanted to kind of
condense it all and make one video that
just shows my top highlights of this
area so I'm gonna cover some of the more
popular tourist spots but I'm just gonna
cover some of my favorite local spots as
well so you guys can get a mix of
everything but sounds about Yokohama is
just about an hour away from Tokyo so
it's definitely easy to get to and also
for those of you who are coming here for
the Rugby World Cup the Olympics or just
coming to see a baseball game then stay

all of you in mind but before I start if

taking a trip all around Yokohama number
ten cup noodle Museum all right so this

in the world you can actually make your
own company dolls and this is one of
those activities that's perfect for the
family especially the young ones because

noodle making process and two you get to
take home your own cup of noodles

interactive museum fun for the entire
family because really who here didn't
grow up on cup of noodles let me know if
you really exist to create my very own
cup noodles at the my cup noodles
Factory I had to get a ticket
reservation for an available time slot
tickets do get sold out on busy days so
safest bet is to reserve or go early in
the morning from the beginning of each
NP cup cost 300 yen a limited one per
person but I was able to design it to my
heart's content Michael always an option
as this is
why do you ask me to be creative with
pens and markers all right now it's time
to neuter the cup I was able to choose
from all sorts of flavors and toppings
all done around the top floor my god did
they actually give you a cool package to
to take it all home it's like a little
bike see I can't wait to try this oh and
they allow kids to experience how to
make handmade chicken ramen as well
number nine
Cosmo world so if you're looking for a
bit of an adrenaline spike or just want
to take your partner on a romantic night

enter and you only need to buy tickets
for the attractions you want then I love
these places this is like perfect for
the kids said someone like me
oh we are on the gondolas Wow we are
like quite high literally though this is
probably one of the best views you can
get in Yokohama number eight head to
karaman this ramen shop started off
renting out of space a few hours on the
weekends from a local snack bar
nicknamed maraschino Diamond meaning
phantom ramen over time though it built
a following and the lines got longer and
longer eventually leading to a full
store opening in 2016 opening at 11:00 I
arrived at 11:40 and had to wait a
little more than an hour the line is
Linda Lee Michaels running to entertain
me this is a signature niboshi soba
ramen with extra meat and this one has
an extra topping of quail eggs and both
come with a generous helping of fresh
chopped onions this unassuming gray fish
broth is on a whole new level
it may look plain but its banging on
those who mommy drums owner has fused a
delicate mix of niboshi sardines horse
mackerel jaw fish salary and other fish
to create this 100% all fish masterclass
broth
[Music]
that's amazing mommy is is popping
there's so many different flavors have
like a fish in here and what's nice is
that the fish broth it's not fishy at
all it's not like you would expect that
she's gonna be like really bitter fishy
it's not it's smooth and find love
there's like the great kind of like
liquid with a nice one in noodle the
noodles itself to come in but at the
same time they're not there to harvest
ice good look at that delicious meat
freshly cut the meat is just tender
delicious I cannot believe we're having
meat this tender here alone away
undeniable this is a winner I just hit
the spot let's go to the next place
number seven Yokohama stadium this
behind me is Yokohama Stadium if you're
looking to catch a baseball game are you
here for the Olympics then this is a
spot what's really nice is that it's
right next to Chinatown our Karenga
and he Amash the park so there's just so
much to do here opened in 1978 Yokohama
Stadium or as the locals call it camasta
is home to Yokohama Bay stars baseball
team it's a two-minute walk from
condensation so access is as easy as
getting near front zipper there's not a
lot of shops and restaurants around the
stadium itself as all the shops in the
restaurants are located inside of the
stadium you will find Yokohama Park
where you can chill with your friends or
bring your kids to play before the game
starts what's nice about Yokohama
especially compared to Tokyo is that
this is a Sunday today that I'm walking
around and it's just a so wide open it's
not that crowded compared to Tokyo wow
it's amazing it really just makes me so
happy the positivity is just flowing
today even just playing music right
behind me
number six you wash the park so right
now word in your mosh the park it's one
of the perfect places to come here and
chill there friends it's right by the
ocean if there's just a so much green
here there's the trees of the grass and
like a perfect picnic spot like
literally it is just so peaceful and
again I'm here on a Sunday it's like a
perfect sunny day and it's actually not
that busy and if you see that just right
behind me there's a huge ship that's
always dock there that you can go and
check out and let me show you something
else like right there and see it right
there over there is just up here does it
appear and on top of the pier there's
like a grassy area they can also chill
and then just right there just past it
there's zone Ohana Park which is also
another like chill spot so it's
everything you would want if you just
want to kind of like hang out with
friends and just enjoy the day and so
one of the things is this it's so clean
everyone just cleans up after themselves
that's one of the beautiful things about
Japan one thing I remember is when pokey
came out I remember Michael and I
coming here ain't catching like a whole
ton of Pokemon oh those were the days
and if you want to take a boat cruise
adjust that you must have Park right
behind me you can buy your tickets for
boat cruises here also inside of you
monster park there's a beautiful rose
garden for all the old people like
looking at flowers just kidding moving
on and what's really nice buy your
monster park there's a Lawson
convenience store so if you want to get
some drinks or snacks then this is a
spot to do it and what I love doing
personally is I like to get one drink at
a time so that you have cold drinks the
entire day
number five
shopping in Minato Mirai here's the
skinny you're not the meter ization is
directly connected to Queen Square and
me not the meat I talk you square it has
a massive collection of 200 shops and
restaurants if you keep walking towards
saqqara Guiteau you'll hit landmark
Plaza which is at the base of landmark
tower
and now I'm in Landmark Plaza and this
spot is right next to Queens there's
actually a lot of brand name stores here
and some pretty dope restaurants
they've got Tetsu which is one of my
favorite ramen spots and they have a
footie if you're looking for a vegan
ramen Toto shopping here let's go inside
near cup noodles museum you'll find
Yokohama world Porter's so one quick
little tip for world Porter's on the
fifth place this is placed behind me
called kikuchiyo and on Monday through
Fridays during the weekdays from 11:00
to 5:00 o'clock
I haven't all-you-can-eat Friday skewers
yes that's right bride skewers also one
my favorites here's his last it's kind
of a tex-mex of I don't like Japanese
food or whatever but if you're kind of
missing western food they have pitas
Doritos burgers and it's actually pretty
decent price and if you're looking to
barbecue on the beach but not really be
at the beach then you can do it here as
well have all-you-can-eat and all you
can drink courses and prepare all the
meat for you all you have to do is cook
it on the grill
easy-peasy marina and walk is also in
the same area it's a small open mall
just in front of the water it's kind of
got that SoCal beach feel to it number
four red brick warehouse socket Inga
SoCo is known as Yokohama's red brick
house back in the day used to be a
customs building for all of the ships
coming into port here in Yokohama
but these days they've altered it and
now it's become kind of a mall
restaurant in food court area but what I
found personally in terms of the mall
it's a lot of smaller boutique shops so
if you're into that and definitely come
here but if you're not that into it then
might actually be kind of cool just to
come here for the restaurants especially
if you're coming from your Mustafar been
hanging out all day I've been having
drinks and you just want to get some
food it do have some popular chain
restaurants here like Kauai now which is
the burger joint they do have bills
which is a pancake spot and they also
have this Oh Moo dice place that's a
super super popular here in Japan you
can watch them flip the omelet right
onto the rice and one fell swoop it's
pretty cool but also as you can see if
you come here during the week it's
fairly quiet you can see behind me
there's not a lot going on but if you
come here on the
and you're lucky enough then they have
some festivals going on just like this
this is another chill day spot where you
can sit down with some friends grab a
snack but also tipping back a few a
perfect Sunday Funday original plan was
to take you to a Katanga and take you
inside and take you to the food court
and we're going to show you the almond
rice but guess what there is a festival
going on today or what do you call kind
of like a food festival amat city so I
had to get the cheese takoyaki you don't
really see it very often Park yaki
smothered with cheese
cheesy DZ all form easy takoyaki yeah
hmm bring on more food number three Omni
Hotel easy sushi so I had to get you
away from all the tourist spots and take
you to this hidden gem this shop has
been serving locals for more than 20
years and it's just a few minutes away
from the Yokohama station the shop buys
market fresh seafood every morning and
utilizes the same preparation techniques
found at luxury sushi restaurants yep
I'm going high-end sushi with my low-end
wallet so this is a very local spot and
Yokohama you don't really see a lot of
foreigners in this process so I really
wanted to share with you
the funny thing is it's a kite in sushi
place but if you look at the conveyor
belt but don't see any fish on the
conveyor the reason being is that
everything is made super fresh you have
to order everything directly to the chef
to get what you want the good thing is
there is an English menu so don't worry
if your Japanese skills are not up to
par what I've got like really quickly is
I've got some negitoro which as I
commence to do now with some onions on
top and then be in total here it's like
a tuna this was actually not under this
menu is called a booty salmon which
means like they've taken the salmon and
it like grilled it a little bit like
they flame-broiled it on the top I'm
this is so excited right now alright
let's take our first bite dip that into
some soy sauce and wasabi let's try this
grill the salmon that is good number two
Chinatown for sure one of my favorite
spots Chinatown is full of history and
galleries history wise in 1859 the
Yokohama seaport was opened and many
Chinese immigrants and traders arrived
and formed settlements built schools
community centers facilities which
became the start of what we know today
as Chinatown and calorie-wise
this place is a foodies dream mounts
with food shops littering the streets I
mean look at all this food you've got
your steamed buns Jackie stump Bao food
buffets the food goes on for days make
me wonder how large Chinatown is it's
actually the largest Chinatown in all of
Japan
can't miss spots in Yokohama the thing
is I've already done a video on this
spot alone so I'm going to link to that
video in the description so you guys can
definitely check it out yourself alright
on to the next slide and number one sky
gardening at Landmark Tower alright so
I've got a special surprise tip so stick
around till the end hint it starts with
a B and ends with an ear with the view
[Music]
so now we're at the highest point in
Yokohama in a landmark tower we're
actually on the 69th floor it's two
hundred and seventy three meters high
look how high we are now compared to
before the various field is just down
there well what's really cool is that
there's a 360 degree panoramic view so
you can go all the way down this place
and see all of the Oklahoma from all
different sides it's not a bad deal for
a thousand yen and you can come here in
the evening at night so if you don't
come during the day and see all the
yokohama lights and this is my little
secret you can come up here to the sky
cafe there's six black leather sofas up
here these seats are free to use if
you're a customer of the cafe so all you
have to do is buy a drink and you can
sit here and enjoy the amazing view
at night the seats are reservation only
