Before we depart the next day, we decided to go around Tokyo and Yokohama to enjoy some of the sights. The first order of business was to see the Yasukuni Shrine which is located close to the Imperial Palace ground.
Along the way, we decided to try the numerous canned coffee which you can find at the many 24-hour convenience stores in Japan.
Even though it was the New Year period, there were not many crowds at the Yasukuni Shrine.
After visiting the shrine, we walked across to the Imperial Palace ground. Unfortunately as it was winter, there were not many flowers on display.
After visiting the Imperial Palace, we proceeded to visit Chinatown in Yokohama via the JR Tokaido Line and switched to the Negishi Line heading for Ishikawacho Station.
From Chinatown, we decided to visit the Cup Noodles Museum located in Yokohama's exclusive Minato Mirai District.

Besides viewing the Cup Noodles-related exhibits, visitors can also participate in making their own Cup Noodle. This is a popular activity and be prepared to queue. The process is to buy a cup at Yen 300, personalise your own cup, proceed to design (the factory assistant will help to add the ingredients) your own CupNoodle and finally to vacuum seal your CupNoodle.
