06/04/10 mart: Yokohama and tempura.
quiver of joy on this day we have compiled, exchanged, in short, doing all the steps to get the JR Rail Pass! Introduction, the JR Rail Pass is a ticket that is purchased not in japponia, but elsewhere (in Italy there are two agencies that deal with it), after the transfer to the Agency, it will send the voucher which will then be exchanged at a JR station that can do the procedure, after filling in some form. The JR Rail Pass allows you to climb in all trains (except the ultra mega cool Shinkansen, the NUZOMI) market for JR tot a period of time. Obviously those who book in advance you must do it, just go to all the other coaches in the reserved seats not reserved. Please note that there are still smoking carriages, so watch where you sit if the smoke bothers you.
Returning to the JR Rail Pass, if you consider that the efficiency Jappo the transport service pay and how, is taking it very affordable if you plan to move a bit '(in fact, in Japan you can not buy just because the same Jappe would agree to take it, but is intended only as a facility for tourists). Among other things it can be used for all underground services marked JR, and should always keep it within reach so you can save for the metro.
The JR Rail Pass in shape and size of an identity card is cardboard, plastic, has a beautiful metallic image of the famous wave, and stamped in large well in the closing date. Once you have it In fact, you do not have to pass through the doors electronic ticket or by passing a magnetic card Suica or PASM, but you have to pass the next corridor, where there are controllers, keeping open the JR Rail Pass on the due date. The JR Rail Pass are nominal, but no one checked the names, we always looked just happened that the date stamp.
We had already calculated that the whole procedure at the station would have taken away a bit 'of time, so the trip is now scheduled for Yokohama, Tokyo sea. We go down and we are in the center of Yokohama, where before we dedicate ourselves to lunch (the usual dead dog as a treat Yoshida cream in the shape of trout) and some expenses (Tokyo Hands a .. department only for cartoonists - the screens! The screens!, Whatever it takes to design and graphics, etc. .. I would have my paycheck directly quenched and cabbage), then we realize that we are indeed in the center of Yokohama, but to see the sea you need to take another train there a bit APPROACH '. Then another train, and finally after going through a bit 'of roads and walked next to shiny and modern convention centers, we find a beautiful park overlooking the sea, said that at that point there was no beach, but a tiny fenced dock. Cold and wind apart, the water just made me really want a bath. But the day was sunny and was very well laid out in the runs.
cross a bridge that runs alongside a colorful amusement park and climb on the Tower Yokohama, (following the first of several observation towers), very well organized, with rare aquarium fish and crustaceans (including seahorses! I had never seen ! really smart move in) and restaurant with views of the sunset (well we enjoyed the view sitting in the restaurant at the foot of the binoculars). In short, between the visual and aquariums, calculating that the sun sets relatively early (18e30, do not have daylight saving time, and the sun rises in the sky very early, the five little dawn), we enjoyed the beautiful sunset on us too chains of mountains behind the city (because that che vedi è città - catena dei monti, sembra bidimensionale, disegnata dietro, giusto a Kyoto, un po’ montuosa c’è un po’ di tridimensionalità).
Torniamo a “casa” e scopriamo che in una via accanto alla solita che percorrevamo, in realtà ci sono un sacco di divertimenti notturni (un Hub con musica al vivo, diversi ristoranti, pachinko e persino un Host Club!), quindi per cena ci buttiamo su un bel tempura, che altro non è che fritto di pesce, ma la cosa che lo differenzia dai nostri è la pastella, croccante all’ennesima.
Birra Combini, e a nanna, per il giorno successivo è prevista una bella levataccia!
