Chinatown in Yokohama is not only the largest Chinatown in Japan, but also one of the largest in the world. It is very easily accessible from the Minato-Mirai Line, exiting at the Motomachi-Chukagai station and following the signs.Close by is Yamashita park and the harbor. Chinatown is a fun place to wonder. During the Lunar New Year celebrations, there are parades and much going on. Come see the shops, restaurants and temples. Right inside the square is the Yokohama Daisekai. Here you can find food and fun, including Dr. Kiss Fish and the Trick Art Museum. Dr. Fish is a unique experience where you can have small fish eat the dead skin off your feet. Bit ticklish but relaxing at the same time. The Trick Art Museum is fun for everyone and a great way to introduce kids to art. Plan to spend an hour or so here having fun with all the 3D art. It's a great lesson in perspective and optical illusion.

Kurihama Flower World is better known as Godzilla Park. It is located in Kurihama, which is an easy, less than an 30 minute drive from Yokosuka main base. Parking is available at the bottom of the park for a fee. Come check out the seasonal flowers in full bloom or hike the trails. Flower World is located on a hill so there are some steep inclines, but what goes up, must come down. At the top of the hill is Godzilla Park with fantastic roller slides. Be sure to bring some cardboard or slide seats with you. Further along the trail, you'll find the herb garden and a foot onsen. In the winter, the park brings in snow for some winter fun and sledding.
