Yokohama Chinatown All-You-Can-Eat Extravaganza!!

Yokohama Chinatown began to take shape after the port opened, when Chinese merchants who came with Westerners started their businesses. Over time, the number of Chinese residents increased, gradually forming the Chinatown we see today.

Currently, Yokohama Chinatown boasts the largest scale in the world, with over 600 shops crowded together. The unique gates you see everywhere are called 'Pai Lou,' built based on Feng Shui principles. There are also temples like 'Kanteibyo,' which enshrines Guan Yu, the god of business prosperity, and 'Masobyo,' which enshrines various gods, serving as places of worship.
