We left Ueno on the JR train for Yokohama which took about 1 hour. After getting a bit confused at the Yokohama JR station - it was heaving with people out on Saturday - we retraced our steps to one of the coffee shops to re-group and re-orientate. Suitably re-magnetised, we found our way to the correct metroline which took us to the Yokohama Museum of Art where we looked at the permanent collection. Not an extensive collect, but two of the Japanese Screens were especially exquisite. The building is a sculpture in different granites. We didn't see the Degas exhibition - we've seen most of the pieces in other exhibitions over the years and we came to Japan to see Japanese things ...
We retraced our steps again and took the metro to China Town; this is supposed to be the larges of its sort outside of China. It definitely lived up to it's reputation. The whole area was double-heaving with people! More wandering gave us ample excuse to sample the Pork Buns (dumplings) and other delectables.
A re-retrace and we were back at Yokohama station where we caught the train back to Ueno by which time, all the lights where blazing their Messages of Mammon and a chill in the air had begun to make the over-fleecing desirable. A quick coffee and a visit to the supermarket for dinner goodies rounded off the day.
It must have been a good day out because we were both knackered ...
