Yokohama

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Yokohama as well, got many prizes and including a repaginated reprint.
- I love Yokohama. You sound like you have your bases covered.
- Also recommend Yokohama for kids. Away from the Chinatown area it is not as intensely busy as other parts of Tokyo. And it has great kid friendly museums - cup noodle museum, anpanman, model railway etc.
- Parent context: If we cut out Kanazawa we could always make one stop longer rather than adding Yokohama (although it looks like a cute, quirky stop). Reply: although it looks like a cute, quirky stop
- I'd suggest go to Yokohama after Kyoto. It's a fun place - Chinatown, lots of unusual museums eg cup noodle museum, and it's easy to get to from Kyoto and to Hakone.
Cons
- As for your free day, check out Sunshine City or consider going to Yokohama! ... Yokohama has a Cup Noodle Factory Museum and amusement park.
- Parent context: This is a personal preference but we went to Yokohama a few years ago and dunno why but we felt weirdly underwhelmed... I dunno what I was expecting exactly but yeah all I remember was the Chinatown was overrated and each...
- I'd suggest staying in Tokyo for the final day rather than going to Yokohama - it's less interesting than Tokyo.
- Yokohama is one of the highest to put on the chopping block, along with Matsumoto, mostly due to not having enough time to explore them.
- Similarly, you could probably cut Yokahama and just spend more time in Tokyo--it's a huge city with tons to do.

I dunno what I was expecting exactly but yeah all I remember was the Chinatown was overrated and each stall sold the same food and souvenirs.. walked in the park but it was scorching cause it was Summer - but u wont have this problem in November. We did ride the ferris wheel … Reply: Agreed. On a weekday I’d rather go somewhere like Kamakura, Hakone, or Nikko than Yokohama (especially for a first trip).

Yokohama is pretty skippable: it’s just an extension of the vast Tokyo urban area and is less interesting than Tokyo proper.
