After the long, long, long night of New Year’s, we took a day off to sleep in until about 4pm. We basically just rolled around the room for a good two hours after that watching Japanese TV, taking long showers, and enjoying a nice conbini breakfast. We went out at night just to take a nice afternoon walk at World Porters. Other than that, we just walked around Yokohama a lot that day as well. It was a nice quiet night compared to the previous one. But when the next day came around, we were ready to get back on the road towards Negishi! 🙂
Day 5 – Negishi & Sankeien
Negishi is a small little town nearby Kamakura and Yokohama. It’s a really nice place that has suburban homes, higher end homes, and Japanese-style homes. The one thing I did notice about this beautiful place was the amount of parks! There were playgrounds and parks everywhere!
It was such a nice day to take a walk together.
We ended up walking like 2 miles away towards the Sankeien garden (which is a Japanese-style garden) which could put San Diego’s Japanese Friendship Garden to shame! It was enormous!
we actually went all the way up to the observatory after exploring this area 🙂
When we got back down we found an old house that used to be home to some royal family 🙂
It was so interesting, and we had to take our shoes off and everything! It was very intricately built too.
After this, we ended watching a beautiful park 🙂
When we got back to Yokohama, we tried to hit up some more cafes. We found one that was all American diner themed, which was good but surprisingly pretty pricey considering the fact it looked like a run down American diner!
Even though it was a little pricey, it was still worth it 🙂
Day 6 – Tokorazawa Aviation Museum (Saitama)
So for Paul’s Christmas Present, I promised to surprise him with a trip to an Air and Space museum somewhere in Japan. I picked the Tokorazawa Aviation Museum because it stands in Japan’s first airfield ever built. It’s also next to a stop that’s literally translated into “airport park.” That was when Paul realized it was going to be cool for him. I totally loved watching him go nuts over all the different airplane and space stuff. The park even had a little statue in the front for aviation enthusiasts. He just fell in love! 🙂
And then the coolest part, which made Paul go nuts was …
He hates this picture but he looks so adorable because you can tell how excited he was ^^ I feel like a good girlfriend.
After this, we decided to go to a place that all the sailors talk about. Coco’s Curry.
…OH MY GOD, it was amazing, especially if you love curry as much as we do. 🙂
Yupp .. all gone :3 …
What a great day! I’m so happy Paul loved my Christmas Present ^^
More blogs on the way~! 🙂
