I like zipping over to the <a href=\"http:\/\/yokohama.art.museum\/eng\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Yokohama Museum of Art<\/a>, designed by the legendary Kenzo Tange and checking out their latest exhibition. I saw Takashi Murakami\u2019s private collection on display there earlier this year and it made my mind explode a little inside my head.<\/p>\n<h1>Koganecho<\/h1>\n<p>Riding along the \u014coka River is particularly beautiful in spring since it\u2019s lined with cherry trees, but worth doing any time of year if for no other reason than to visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.koganecho.net\/info\/english.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Koganecho<\/a>, the \u201cGolden Town\u201d with its chequered past. In a way, it\u2019s fitting that Akira Kurosawa chose it as a filming location for its ignoble reputation, because it is the arts that are largely responsible for cleaning the place up. Now, it\u2019s got a more wholesome, yet distinctly bohemian vibe with many artists in residence, galleries, bookstores and caf\u00e9s. Definitely check out the Koganecho Bazaar if you\u2019re around in autumn.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13020\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13020\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13020\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-564x376.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Koganecho1-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13020\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Koganecho<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>Isezaki Mall<\/h1>\n<p>From there, you can pedal to and park at the Isezaki Mall for a stroll down the 1km-long pedestrian shopping street with restaurants and boutique shops.

Ordinarily, I\u2019m as much a fan of aquariums as I am of square dancing in Yokohama Station during rush hour, but this is a decent one, with an aquatic tunnel and an impressive viewing area. In fact, it\u2019s one of the largest in Japan.<\/p>\n<h1>Pleasure Land<\/h1>\n<p>Even so, my main reason for going to this &#8220;island of eight views&#8221; is not to celebrate the many manifestations of life in the world\u2019s oceans, but to court death in its heavens.

It is psychologically damaging. When I first saw it I thought it wasn\u2019t real, a joke perhaps. People travelling towards the earth\u2019s surface at speeds that don\u2019t make sense outside of a going-out-of-business sale. Like a moth to flame my fascination snuffed out my fear of doom and I was elevated slowly, deliberately towards other planets as my feet dangled in the breeze, completely exposed to an environment that called for wings.<\/p>\n<p>The views were spectacular, Fuji at eye level. Yet, this is not maniacal enough, your little beach chair dangling in space, a heartbeat is amplified behind your head for what feels like an eternity before a sinister laugh accompanies the release of your fragile existence, followed by tears and screams as your feet compete with Fuji for facetime and you are certain you shan\u2019t be home for Christmas. If you\u2019re still with us, congratulations, you\u2019re heart-attack-free for at least another decade. I probably rode it 10 times in rapid succession that first day. It is the best.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, you\u2019ll probably want to head back towards Sakuragicho Station and Minato Mirai, where all the fun began. On weekends, you can take to the skies aboard a whirlybird for sunset or twilight views of the harbour (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.skycruise.jp\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">see here<\/a>). Having experienced helicopter rides in Aso and Tokyo, I\u2019d say it\u2019s fair value, starting at 9,000 yen for a 5-minute ride, and going up to 15,000 yen for a 10-minute ride, per person.<\/p>\n<h1>Nogecho<\/h1>\n<p>Another great way to get around is by hopping on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yokohama-cruising.jp\/about\/seabass\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Bass<\/a>, which connects Minato Mirai with the Red Brick Warehouses and their chic shops and cafes, or Yamashita Park for romantic walks or Chinatown. Departures are roughly every 20 minutes between 10am and 6pm, and it\u2019s about 10 minutes between these destinations, or 30 minutes from Yamashita Park directly back to the starting point of Bay Quarter, near Yokohama Station.<\/p>\n<p>Nogecho has blocks and blocks of izakaya (Japanese pub restaurants), and is probably the single best place to start, sustain, or conclude a night out on the town.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_13024\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-13024\" style=\"width: 1170px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13024\" src=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1.jpg\" alt=\"Nogecho: the best place for a night on the tiles\" width=\"1170\" height=\"780\" srcset=\"https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-564x376.jpg 564w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-720x480.jpg 720w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-390x260.jpg 390w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-780x520.jpg 780w, https:\/\/insidejapan.ams3.cdn.digitaloceanspaces.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Nogecho1-510x340.jpg 510w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-13024\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nogecho: the best place for a night on the tiles<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>So, there you have it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidejapantours.com\/japanese-destinations\/yokohama\/\">Yokohama<\/a>, only a half-hour beachwards from Tokyo and well worth a visit.
