Chinatown in Yokohama

It is the first day in consecutive holidays.
Moreover, it is very fine today.
Let's go to the Chinatown !

Gates to Chinatown, built based on
the Chinese horoscope, are called Pairo.

Living up to its boast of being one of the biggest Chinatowns
in the world, more than 500 restaurants and groceries etc.
throng here. A unique look of the stores lining the streets,
colored yellow and red, engenders another
exotic atmosphere to Yokohama.

Kantei-byo

One of the heroes in the romance of "The Three Kingdoms" ,
'Kanwu', is enshrined as the God of
Business in this magnificent richly colored temple.
This symbol of Chinatown is beautifully
illuminated at night. Admission charged.

Through the Chinatown

We will go to adjacent
Motomachi shopping street.

In this town,
there are many opportunities
to be able to meet the people
who are shopping with a rare dog.

Today,
My dinner is a steamed meat bun
bought in the Chinatown.

Do you think my big paw resembles
a steamed meat bun ?

All my eye !
