Yokohama by Night

Japan appears to embrace winter festive illuminations leading up to the New Year celebrations. We embarked on a pilgrimage between Chinatown, Minatomirai 21, and Yokohama Station. The weekend brought warm weather and a festive mood, but unfortunately, we were navigating it with jetlag.

Sun-Ling said...: The cube is actually made of scaffolding, covered in woven nylon sackcloth! What an awesome design! Here is a day photo.

Unfortunately the older I get, the worse jet lags have become.; 16 December, 2023
