Motomachi - Yokohama

"France Yama"

「フランス山」

My parents wanted to visit Yokohama this time on our trip so we took Keihin Tohoku line from Shinagawa.  We took a walk around the shops in Motomachi.

I don't have many feelings about Yokohama but it seemed like more to my father.  He told me that Yokohama was a very sophisticated town with the latest foreign culture when he was young.  He remembers that Motomachi had great bakeries and people were all going Yokohama to get good bread and western imports.

「元町・横浜」両親の意向で久しぶりに横浜へ行った。元町の商店街とフランス山を回った。父が東京にいた時代の横浜は洗練されて、海外文化の最先端にある上品な街であったらしい。私には若干バブルの残像のような感じもするが、よい店が色々あって面白かった。
