🇯🇵-2-3
Yokohama City
For a moment, LittleMaster thought he was back in the imperial city.
Because he had already survived in the imperial city for 3.5 years,
he had no interest in Chinatown,
even if it’s in Japan.
Unexpectedly,
after flying so far, he could still see the Beijing Hotel,
so he skipped check-in and took a nap.
Because Monterey is by the seaside,
LittleMaster woke up from the sound of a distant steam whistle.
He opened the curtain and looked outside,
feeling like he was looking at an oil painting in a museum with a filter on.
Because being awakened by the sound of a steam whistle felt great,
he walked along the seaside.
There were some cute little ducks floating on the water by the shore,
and when he was ready to take a photo, one of the little ducks dived into the water to catch fish.
Oh, it turns out ducks can dive.
The sea in Japan is very clean, with no fishy smell.
Hikawamaru
NYK Hikawamaru
Nippon Yūsen Kaisya Hikawamaru
It turns out you can go aboard this ship.
It was originally a passenger ship, but later participated in World War II.
After being decommissioned, it returned to its hometown.
Is that the sound of a steam whistle from before?
There won’t be any women’s restrooms from now on.
Luckily, LittleMaster is male.
The first-class cabins have multiple large windows where you can eat, read, and even take a bath 🛀.
The third-class cabins are like the dorms at LittleMaster 233 Magic Academy, where you have to squeeze to sleep.
Ah, there was already such a big gap in 1941.
Elephant Nose Breakwater
Osanbashi Hall
Since witnessing planes take off and land from the rooftop of Haneda Airport,
LittleMaster knew that most large buildings in 🇯🇵 would have a tourist attraction on the roof.
But this here is just a pier.
Impressively, it feels like a theater.
You can buy Yokohama sightseeing boat tickets near the Hikawamaru,
and you can spend 1-2 hours on the sea with dinner provided on the boat, so you won’t go hungry.
There’s a drink 🥤 with a candle 🕯️ behind it, and the candlelight sways with the movement of the ship 🚢.
It looks extremely romantic.
Indeed, the other tables are all for couples,
and only LittleMaster’s table is for one person.
Oh, if only there was a girl.
Hara Model Railway Museum
Hara Model Railway Museum
Suddenly, he saw a huge building.
Although LittleMaster wasn’t as obsessed as Sheldon,
seeing all the different types of toy trains inside was still fun.
For example, he saw the Hakone Tozan Train he had taken up the mountain before.
It looks like the green train he used to take home from school, but this one is an electric train 🚃.
Is this the Nankai Ninja?
It resembles the one in Harry Potter.
And there’s one up in the sky too.
Behind was really shocking.
A whole huge house,
with stone gardens, tunnels, cities, rural areas, and a central station.
When he first saw the antennas in the back, he thought they were high-voltage cables,
but then he saw a cable car 🚠 slowly coming down from the stone mountain ⛰️.
If there were children, they could be train dispatchers
controlling the railroads 🛤️.
Further back, there was a complete model of Yokohama.
The Ferris wheel 🎡 has time, with approximately 3 minutes equivalent to one day.
The train departs at 6 o’clock and the subway 🚇 stops punctually at 10 o’clock in the evening, surpassing the 996 work schedule. (The wordplay here refers to a notoriously long workweek in some parts of Asia, where employees often work from 9 am to 9 pm, six days a week.)
It can only be said that it’s truly amazing.
If it were a boy, it would be highly recommended.
Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum

The power of nature
can flatten you in an instant.
Oh, so there was ANA back then.
Big ships
Hakone-Maru, Kamakura-Maru
Does every famous city have a ship?
It reminded him of that giant cruise ship in 🇮🇹 that ate up half of a parking lot.
Yokohama Landmark Tower
Yokohama Landmark Tower
There’s the Sky Garden on top.
The Ferris wheel 🎡 looks so small now.
What makes people most happy is that the snacks on top of the tower cost almost the same as those downstairs.
And based on the height of the building, they offer an incredibly large ice cream 🍦.
Sitting down comfortably, eating while watching the sunset (why is it always the sunset 🌄).
The sun 🌞 hitting Mount Fuji 🗻
looks like a nuclear explosion.
Well, this is probably just a normal diffraction phenomenon, right?
Because the ice cream was too big,
he ate until it was dark.
He really didn’t intentionally linger to see the night view.
It truly is the futuristic port of the 21st century.
You see, construction on this place began in the 1990s.
In 1993, the Landmark Tower was already there.
Whether it’s the sound of the steam whistle at the seaside ⛵️,
the clean seas,
or the modernized city,
it all makes LittleMaster think that this place is amazing.
It’s a pity the itinerary is only two days.
Looking at the brilliant Ferris wheel, he prepared to return to Tokyo.
