Hit Chinatown if you are in Yokohama
Look at a Tokyo map before finalizing your plans there. Asakusa, for example, and Nakano Broadway are about an hour apart by train, and neither is a morning place: many shops in Asakusa don’t open until 10 AM, and those in Nakano Broadway until 11 AM or later.
Team Labs Planets is at least an hour from Yokohama also.
If u like curry check out Go Go Curry restaurant in Tokyo, sooo nice 😋
