Yokohama Nights 「みなとみらい」

The Other City by the Bay

For some of you who don't know already, I'm already back on American soil but I have yet to catch up on my Japan posts. Although my body is in America, my mind and heart are still in Japan. Being able to work on the rest of my Japan trip photos really helps me settle back into my American life. The Japan posts feels like a time machine for me to transport back and forth from America to Japan, I can almost smell Japan air again. 

Well now that we're nice and settled back in Japan, we last left off still in Yokohama at the Mooneyes Area-1 shop. On our way back to the station, we decided to check out the night scenery at Minato Mirai where the Landmark Tower and Cosmo Clock can be viewed lit up in the night sky. The Landmark Tower is the 3rd tallest structure in Japan, where you can also see Mt. Fuji from the top of the building. The surrounding businesses and shopping centers make Minato Mirai the center of attention for tourists. There's also a permanently displayed ship called the Nippon Maru which is part of the museum. Our time here was short but at least we got to get a good glimpse of the nightscapes before heading back to Akihabara.
