Lantern Nights (Yokohama Bay Quarter)
A limited-time event “Lantern Night” to enjoy summer nights will be held at Yokohama Bay Quarter from June to August.Held every summer, "Lantern Night" is a limited-time lighting event inspired by the night markets of Hoi An, the ancient capital of Vietnam, where countless colorful lanterns line the streets.Admission is free, so you can enjoy "Lantern Night" as many times as you like, as the view changes with the time of day and night, sunshine and rain, and other changes in the weather.The deck that extends under the lanterns is gently terraced, providing a relaxing space to sit and watch the lanterns. You can also bring your own takeout food and drinks to spend a relaxing summer evening.Google Map > https://goo.gl/maps/Ep2XuTWFvKP8eipT8

Granny Smith Apple Pie & Coffee
Treat yourself this week with a dessert from "Granny Smith Apple Pie & Coffee".Located in Yokohama station (the other location at Akarenga is closed at the moment), this cafe serves up good old-fashioned apple pies and other home-cooked sweets.Each pie comes with ice cream and topping with just the right amount of cinnamon.If you get lost for choices (there are a lot!), go for the standard "Dutch Crumble", you won't go wrong!Prices are around 600 yen for a generous slice and the coffee is reasonable and good quality also.It's good to treat yourself every now and again, and don't forget they also do a nice take-out box also!Instagram > https://www.instagram.com/grannysmith_pie/Google Map > https://goo.gl/maps/d9t5zq7FbjJFGNde9

Newly opened in Minatomirai and just a short walk from Yokohama station is the "Konica Minolta Planetaria Yokohama".Featuring Dynavision-LED (the first LED dome system in Japan), it is now possible to reproduce the beauty of the vivid blue sky and ocean, the red brightening of a gorgeous sunset, and the twinkling shiny stars. Discover the universe through different events scheduled each day and the depth of the image serves to increase the sense of immersion and makes it more realistic than ever before.Konica Minolta Planetaria features Cafe Planetaria and Gallery Planetaria, a gift store. Drinks and snacks from the cafe can be brought inside the dome and enjoyed while viewing the starry sky. In keeping with the theme of stars, constellations, and galaxies, the gift store sells assorted goods and accessories. These are recommended not only as souvenirs but also as personal gifts.Official Website (Japanese) > https://planetarium.konicaminolta.jp/planetariayokohama/Google Map > https://goo.gl/maps/Dwo5YKarsi1MJ26WA

Dream Drive - Building, selling, and renting campervans.
“Whenever I recall and share childhood stories from growing up in the UK and Australia, they almost always begin with a road trip. I had to ask myself “why? why do most of my most memorable childhood stories begin with a journey, and why have I not been making these memories here in Japan? While working in an office in Tokyo for about 10 years, I came to the realization that many Japanese are traveling and experiencing RV road trips abroad in the United States, Australia, Europe, etc. but not doing so in their own country. Japan is in my opinion one of, if not the best country for free-spirited road trip travel as the roads are safe and there are thousands of clean toilets and onsen all throughout the country. My dream with starting this company was to not only build great campervans but also help put Japan on the global map as a top road trip destination.”
