TBD Rooms: July 26, 2023 Went sightseeing and shopping around Minato Mirai 21. Sarah and Ian got eyeglasses at Owndays optometrist at Mark IS mall https://www.owndays.com/jp/ja/shops/681. Tried to go to Megmi Suisan kaiten sushi on the 4th floor in Mark IS mall https://neo-emotion.jp/post_kaitensushi/mark-is/. Since the pandemic, kaiten sushi is a thing of the past, so there was no sushi on the conveyer belt. Ian thought the place smelled bad so we left. Went to Kamakura Pasta restaurant instead, also on the 4th floor. David took more bread than he was allowed from the bread bar and was reprimanded by the bread lady, who rang a bell every time she brought out fresh bread. https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/menu/kamakura/ https://www.saint-marc-hd.com/kamakura/shop/370/ After lunch we went to the rooftop of Mark IS mall and saw the garden. Patty went to doctor that evening at My Medical Clinic - Minato Mirai https://mymc.jp/minatomirai/. David and Patty went for prescription at Yokohama Station alone. Went back the next day because they gave her one too few antibiotic pills. Ian, Kyoko and Sarah had dinner at Bonno Restaurant near Sakuragicho Station. http://www.bon-no.com/ – NEW OTANI INN YOKOHAMA PREMIUM Address: 〒231-0062 Kanagawa, Yokohama, Naka Ward, Sakuragicho, 1 Chome−１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい 〒231-0062 神奈川県横浜市中区桜木町１丁目１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい +81452100707 Check-in time: 3:00 PM American Express Record Locator: GXTGWR Barbour Slater – NEW OTANI INN YOKOHAMA PREMIUM https://www.newotani.co.jp/en/innyokohama/ Address: 〒231-0062 Kanagawa, Yokohama, Naka Ward, Sakuragicho, 1 Chome−１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい 〒231-0062 神奈川県横浜市中区桜木町１丁目１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい +81452100707 Check-in time: 3:00 PM Check-out time: 12:00 noon American Express Record Locator: GXTGWR Barbour Slater – NEW OTANI INN YOKOHAMA PREMIUM https://www.newotani.co.jp/en/innyokohama/ Address: 〒231-0062 Kanagawa, Yokohama, Naka Ward, Sakuragicho, 1 Chome−１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい 〒231-0062 神奈川県横浜市中区桜木町１丁目１−7 ヒューリックみなとみらい +81452100707 Check-in time: 3:00 PM Check-out time: 12:00 noon American Express Record Locator: GXTGWR Barbour Slater Yuigahama - Fun and festive beach with minimal waves and beach bars and restaurants within walking distance from our AirBNB. https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pref-kanagawa/in-kamakura/spot-lj0002320/ – https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/44925716 KAMAKURA REAL OCEAN FRONT / 4min from HASE station Entire home/apt hosted by Matsu & Tak Check in Saturday, July 29, 2023 Check out Tuesday, August 1, 2023 Entire home/apt · 4 beds · 5 guests Confirmation code: HM9M2KNAB5 Cancellation policy : Free cancellation before 3:00 PM on Jul 24.

Price breakdown/ July 31, 2023 Brunch with Mihoko at Garden Cafe Dinner - Kyoko and Sarah had dinner with her mother and Mihoko in Totsuka. Ian, David and Patty tried to eat at Sushi Yamamoto (鮨山もと) in Hase. There was a family at the sushi bar. The father started telling how lucky we were to just walk in and eat since he had tried twice before and finally made a reservation. Just as we got settled, the chef, Yamamoto-san, holds up a tablet with the words, "I have a reservation coming soon. I only have enough rice for them." Surprised that a place with such a good reputation didn't have enough rice, we left. We found another restaurant, Kohana Sushi, 小花寿司, 1 Chome-11-13 Hase, Kamakura, Kanagawa 248-0016, Japan. Two older chefs behind the bar were very accommodating and we had an excellent meal starting with sushi platters, then we started picking individual items, and a couple of small bottles of sake. – https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/44925716 KAMAKURA REAL OCEAN FRONT / 4min from HASE station Entire home/apt hosted by Matsu & Tak Check in Saturday, July 29, 2023 Check out Tuesday, August 1, 2023 Entire home/apt · 4 beds · 5 guests Confirmation code: HM9M2KNAB5 Cancellation policy : Free cancellation before 3:00 PM on Jul 24.

メゾン・イチ 代官山
Five minutes on foot from Daikanyama station, this beautifully preserved private residence that has been turned into a museum provides a peek into a traditional Japanese home, constructed in 1919. The former residence of the Asakura Family was built by its patriarch, Torajiro Asakura, and is a fantastic relic of Taisho era Japan that lasted from 1912 to 1926. Its wooden architecture and meticulously manicured Japanese gardens make it a true hidden gem and important cultural site.
