| The bay - Yokohama is a port city | Lots of glare from the windows on these pictures, it was a gorgeous sunny day | Close-up of the ferris wheel, roller coasters... | We wanted to ride the coaster, but the park closed at 9pm every night and wasn't open Thursday so it just didn't work out | Looking down at the ship | ||

| Looking right (east) | Afternoon now, trying to reduce the glare on these shots | Looking further east, with the right-bottom being the JR Sakuragicho train station (I'm sure I spelled that wrong :-) | Gorgeous bay, much of this area is very new | |||

| Inugai-san and the three presenters | From the 20th floor of my hotel room, looking up at window-washers on the next building | Inside the amusement park, kiddie rides | ||||

| Typical carnival "put the ball through the hoop and win a stuffed animal", the big prizes were inflated Tiggers (one visible) and Poohs and Pink Panthers | The pink "diving coaster" goes through a hole in the middle of the water around the log ride | Chinook flying around | The log ride doesn't throw much water, compared to the ones at the big US amusement parks | More amusement park rides across the canal | ||

| The coaster in motion "disappearing down the hole" | Top middle - they also have a 'Spinning Coaster' with yellow track that goes back and forth side to side | One of the better shots of the Park Hotel | Looks like an abandoned dockyard. Interesting in that with all the water and humidity, this is the only building I saw with ivy growing on it. | Very few people wear sunglasses. Everyone carries an umbrella for the rain anyways, so it makes a great sunshade too! | ||

| Lots of scooters and motorcycles, and a few big SUVs on the roads | Mostly normal-sized sedans and the smaller cars tho. Compare the side mirrors on the near car with those of the far taxi | A better shot of a taxi with the way-forward side mirrors - they don't stick out as far for the narrow streets? Every taxi has its mirrors this way. | The ship is both a museum, and teaches how to sail | Inflatable kid slide "pirate ship" on Saturday morning | ||

| 'Finding Nemo' in Japanese! Just came out June 18 so on sale everywhere. The TV screen showing it didn't photo well :-( | ||
