1. Yokohama Chinatown

Over six thousand Chinese restaurants are crammed into the tight area of Yokohama Chinatown, making it one of the best places in Japan to enjoy Chinese cuisine. Temples here make it possible to experience a different culture from Japan, and shops selling various goods from China make it a great place to shop for something different. Each year there is the lion dance festival to bring in the Chinese New Year.
