I'm visiting Japan in October and I will have 2 full days at the end of my trip to do whatever I want as a solo traveler. I'd really like to visit Yokohama but I'm not sure if all the things I want to do there will be overwhelming, or maybe it won't take as much time as I think? Any guidance is much appreciated!
Here's my list:
Nippon Maru & Yokohama Port Museum
Sankeien Garden
Walk around and see the Western style historic houses in the area including Yokohama Yamate Seiyoukan, the English rose garden and the British House
Find gachapon at Cosmo World (or are there better places to find gachapon in Yokohama?)
Yokohama Bay Bridge & Skywalk
Chinatown
I'd also like to do a lot of shopping because I won't have much time for it the rest of the trip. I'd like to browse around the Red Brick Warehouse, Marine & Walk and Motomachi Shopping Street. Above all I want to find a bookstore to buy some Japanese picture books for my kids, there is surely a place to find picture books in the areas listed above?
