W/NW The Streets of Yokohama!

[Yokosuka Mike]

One English-language expression that I've never learned to say in Japanese is "It's hot, but it's dry heat"

What's the Yokohama must-have food and onsen scene like?

Jeff, we've never heard of the expression "dry heat" around here. We're only familiar with humidity.

The Onsen scene in Yokohama is practically nonexistent. Izu peninsula and Hakone are the nearest places to Yokohama with an abundance of Onsens.

Must-have food: I eat a lot of Chinese food. There's a Chinese restaurant on every corner and plenty more of them in-between. There's also an abundance of Thai, Indian and Korean, restaurants too. Curry rice and tempura is popular. The Noge district is well known for their Hormone (guts) and Yakitori restaurants. The food scene in Yokohama is vast and diverse.

All the best,
Mike

[Out to Lunch]

​

When living in Hungary I came to fear the Japanese tourist guides who always had a flag...and a whistle! They stayed in the same hotel on the bank of the Danube River as I did and whenever they moved, they moved in close order formation. This said I met quite a few, mostly elderly tour group members in the bar and found their stories about life in Japan fascinating. Many had saved for decades to do the grand European tour. Cheers, OtL
