Today Saturday will just be a local area day. I'm going to visit the Mikasa Battle ship. Then I'll walk around town and get a few pictures of the Jazz Music statues and hand prints. Se what else is in Yokosuka.
Later,

This coming weekend will probably be a local tour as well.
I'm going to get on the train to Yokohoma and find out were China Town is. I should be playing paintball,but just to much to see and not sure when I will come back. So taking advantage and spending money on the Wife so she can have somethings to put on her shelf.

I go out of country to work and she buys $450 dollars in Hemlock to have a shelf built

Good thing the 100 YEN store is my friend, looks expensive but cheap

Oh well she takes care of me why not spend the money on her.

So what do I have to show for my whole time here:

chop sticks (which I got free for spending alot of money on my family

)
Very Small Statue of the Virgin Mary (Hey I'm Catholic)
and a day of paintball ( It was worth it

)

What did my family get?

Bath robes,statues, dolls,Phone bling, can't think of everything at the moment. However My wife finally got the shelving that she always wanted and I got someone to build it
( Carpenter I am not

). I'm told the designs are in for it and the others that will be built this summer to go on each side of the windows.

This one is only 8ft high six ft wide. Just a small wall.

Yokohama Chinatown is at the JR line Ishikawacho station.

blackrain · 02-21-2010, 10:58 AM

So instead of using the two train stations,I guess I just walk down to the JR station down the road correct.

Funny,I came to Japan to go to China.

Thanks,

Possibly. There are many JR sen.... damnit JR LINES. wrong Language haha. So depending on where you are, your station might work for ya and only one train is needed. Find your way to Yokohama.

The line you are looking for in romaji is the JR Keihin-touhoku (negeshi) line.
It's been nicknamed the "Blue line" by many people (cars have big blue stripes on the side).

If you are traveling on the correct line already (so say you transfer from the yamanote line/Tokyo loop at shinagawa) then just continue past Yokohama station.

If you are transferring trains at Yokohama-eki(station).
Then it's either track 3 or 4. I forget. You want the train bound for 大船 (Ofuna).

It's the third stop from Yokohama eki. Doors open on the left side.
石川町 is the kanji for ishikawacho. If you have J-text support on your computer.

There is an express train that goes until Sakuragicho-eki if. You don't want this train. But if you get on it by accident. No worries as you can get off at the next stop then just hop on the local train.

wow that was supposed to be quick note on the train line. hahaha. And just clued in (thanks for my 7am 12-hours of night shift on dock bottom brain) that you're already there since its midnight in Japan)

Yokohama FTW

Here's what it looks like:

The China Town is Kobe is smaller, but it was nice visiting and comparing both of them.

Thanks Shiba,
And you were correct about AM/PM being my friend. I've had to use it late nights for snaks and such.

LOLS!

Yeah, they're addictive. I drop in and 3 minutes later I'm walking out with a couple sodas, some an-pan, and a Shonen JUMP.

Blackrain: did you get a chance to go over to Yokohama's bayside area? Ride the Cosmo Clock ferris wheel, check out the strolling area along the bay, etc? Did you get to go to the ramen museum? It's about a block from Yokohama Eki.
