Hello readers! It's time for the second installment of the Yokohama trip.
After the exhibition, we visted the Yamate district. Regular readers might recall that I went to the same area earlier this year, and I really recommend it!
On this day, we visited one of the buildings I didn't go to before, Bluff 18 Ban-Kan.
There was a wedding fair being held inside, so there were a lot of lovely floral arrangements displayed.
These remind me a little of my outfit that day!
A cosy looking room....
We took outfit shots in the house, but we had to wear slippers inside!
After that, we walked down the famous Motomachi Street. That area had a big boom during the Showa era, and there are many foreign shops and boutiques located there which you won't come across elswhere in Japan.
To be honest, it was such a strange feeling walking that street! The style of the buildings and the names of the shops were in many cases identical to ones in England. I felt as if I was walking down an ordinary English high street on a Saturday afternoon. Except all the shoppers were Japanese!!
They have Next! I never thought I'd see that in Japan....
A mock-Tudor building, what could be more ordinarily English?
It was great to visit somewhere outside of Tokyo for a change, I had a great day with the other lolis!
We took purikura after returning to Tokyo.
Thanks for a lovely day, everyone!

ReplyDeleteIs strange to see our countries in japanese versions. I saw a lot of italian cafè and I ate in an italian restaurant once with my hostfamily and it was so similar and so different in many ways! And funny too, as a lot of cafès had "itarian" names :P
It is very interesting, isn't it? I feel like the Japanese have very romantic views of foreign countries. By the way, I live close to two italian restaurants, one called "Grandpa" and one called "Grandma" XD Do you say grandpa and grandma in italian? Or something different?
