do not miss the yokohama aquarium !!!
a great experience!!!

Okay! Tokyo is awesome .. nuff said so to make the experience more awesome be sure to have some kind of plan of action when you get there - book a tour or something in advance if you're in a hotel so you won't waste a trip. Go see the Castle, go visit Tokyo tower, fend off some ninjas at a local ramen bar and hook up with school girls and get a giggle or two at the local mall - if you see a girl and she looks like she just stepped off the mothership .. she's probably a hooker (don't do it) Something you'll really need to know is bring exact change and lots of it - if you go to a bar and the bar tender offers you something just say "no" unless there is something of interest then you ask for that. This sounds kinda dumb but if you speak english and want something simple ask for it like you have a mouth full of water - you'll be surprised how far along you get* (safety not guaranteed) Bring a towel - sounds like a Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy tip but you'll need hand towels and napkins when you're out and about because public restrooms may not have TP for you to use. Also to give you an idea of how many people are there - imagine taking all of everybody in the United States and moving them to a place roughly the size of California. Don't touch the hand rails - old people like to dig in their nose and pick their ass in public and they have to wipe it off somewhere. Its easy to get around if you know where you're going .. you just have to match the letters (mostly kanji) with the map and the local train depot. Also a police station is located next to every train depot. Take your time .. enjoy your time. If you like the nightlife and like to boogie there is alwasys omething happening somewhere - just don't get caught up in bullshit. If you're a foreigner (especially and American) you are automatically guilty .. so RUN! (j/k) Best Mexican Food Outside of Mexico and San Antonio, Texas can be found in Sagami Hara Japan - EVER! The average meal is about $40 bucks .. if you want to eat good - or you can go to the noodle hut or alley bar for some eats

Everything in Yokohama, specally the little park with people painting in the middle of the city... Boat ride

The city known as modern and cool. There are some heritage(?) of Meiji Restoration, since this city had the main port toward foreign contries at that era. Nearby the fashionable district, Minato Mirai (means the future of the port), there is the biggest China town in Japan. It would be fantastic to enjoy the sleepless night around Yokohama Station, after the amazing view from 276m height Land Mark Tower. Hakkeijima sea paradise (combination of aquarium and amusement park) is also good place to visit.

I recommend the Landmark tower, the tallest building in Japan,  has a grate view of the metropolitan area and the bay.

Enjoy the sights and sounds

Yokohama Sea Paradise is a Japan's Largest Collection of Aqua Museum.Theme park surrounded by nature. Visit of the park is not complete without seeing the aqua museum and dolphin show.

Entrance around the park is free but if you wish to watch the dolphin show, ticket costs Y2400.

Directions: by train, take Seaside Line from Shin-Sugita Station and go down at Hakkeijima Station. Alternatively, take Seaside Line from Kanazawa Hakkei Station and go down at Hakkejima Station.

A futuristic looking area of central Yokohama, located exactly a few walk around the Sakuragi-cho Stn. Minato Mirai or harbour of the future as what they usually call it , is one of the best place a tourist shouldn't miss, the area offers lovely sunset and alot of department stores(shops again,lol!), restaurants that varies in different kinds.

The area was built during early 80's and finished in merely, 1993. MM21(Minato Mirai Niju-ichi) is part of large scale urban development project for 21st century. The Land Mark Tower (Japan's tallest buillding), Cosmo Clock
(the World's third biggest Ferris wheel), Grand Inter Continental Hotel (half circular shaped) are the main features of the Minato Mirai 21 developmen and accentuates the beautiful Yokohama skyline.

It is recommended that you go in the evening though you can enjoy this area in the day time!

I had the best time going to the Ramen Museum in Yokohama. This is where the best ramen is made. It is a fun process to eat at this museum because you get to pre-select and pay for your meal outside the restaurant. Once you pay for your ramen at the vending machine placed right outside each restaurant you enter to be seated. The waitress will kindly take your ticket. Then your food is served within minutes. I was traveling with a big ramen fanatic...and since each restaurant featured a unique ramen flavor my friend couldn't resist limiting himself to only one bowl. We ended up going to almost all the restaurants.

Yokohama Ferry Terminal: designed by Foreign Office Architects. Beautiful building! Great tip for architecture fans...
