Photo Travel Day in Yokohama

Last weekend we did a small trip to Yokohama where we ate delicious food in chinatown and did a bit of shopping, mainly at Akarenga-sōko (aka Red Brick Warehouse).
Here are some pictures.

"Yokohama Customs mascot" looks a bit like the german "Die Maus" from Television. Amazing :-)
Look at http://www.wdrmaus.de/lachgeschichten/mausspots/index.phtml?rm=baukloetze.rm for it..

Interesting! :)
In Japan this mascot seems to be known to look like Mamma-chan from Sanma's show.

My girlfriend says she's from Shizuoka prefecture, a place famous for soccer, green tea and mandarins.
