Yokohama

Yokohama

It was cloudy day when we made our way to Yokohama early Sunday morning. We took the trains to Sakuragi-cho Station and followed the paths that led towards Minato Mirai 21. We walked pass the Landmark Tower, which is the tallest skyscraper in Japan. Since the skies were so cloudy, we decided not to go up to the observation deck at the top. However, we did walk around the port and saw the ships that were docked on the side….

Osaka!

Osaka!

It was another early start on the day of our Osaka trip. We got to Tokyo Station much earlier than we needed because I was paranoid we’d miss the bullet train.

First Weekend in Tokyo

First Weekend in Tokyo

So I totally haven’t been keeping track of what’s been happening the past few days. All I can remember is how painful my feet are from all the walking I’ve done! Let’s backtrack to Friday first. Friday was my first in day Tokyo. I was all by myself after Donna and I parted ways at the station. I was very excited to be out exploring, but I was also nervous being out on my own, since I had no idea…
