This international city has a vibrant downtown full of shops and towering skyscrapers.

沢山のお店やビルがあって

And the largest Chinatown in all of Japan is found here.

中華街も有名です

This city close to our home has many surprises in store, as we explore Yokohama Life-in-Japan style!

横浜で新しい発見を 沢山しました！

[Life in Japan Theme Song]

美しい奥さんの運転です

Today I'm being chauffeured by the beautiful, illustrious Ruth Reutter.

そうよ

Yes, yes.

あれが横浜駅だね

Right over here we're going to have Yokohama station.

横浜は歴史ある国際都市です

Yokohama is Japan's original international city,

開国期の自由港の一つです

the first seaport for international trading to be opened after Japan's isolation era.

人口は350万人以上 日本第2位です

With over 3.5 million people, it is the second largest city in Japan by population.

隣接するの東京の 都市域に含まれる事もあります

It blends seamlessly into the larger urban sprawl of greater Tokyo and is included when counting Greater Tokyo's overall population.

でも 横浜は特別です

But make no mistake, Yokohama is a unique and special place all it's own.

市内に入ると分かります

You can immediately tell when you enter Yokohama by car.

道路は整然として 綺麗な街並みです

The roads system goes from a chaos resembling spaghetti on a plate to a methodical grid and block structure.

街中ドライブ！最高！

Whoa girlfriend! City driver! Come on!

得意じゃないわよ

Not my cup of tea.

手頃なホテルに泊まって 横浜を探検します

We are visiting nearby Yokohama in typical Reutter family fashion, finding an affordable hotel and exploring new areas,

政府のルールに十分注意します

staying within the confines of government regulations and recommendations during Covid.

閉まっている店も多いですが 新しい発見もあります

While many things are closed or restricted, there are a number of new experiences to be had.

赤レンガ倉庫は税関施設でした 今は観光名所です

Our exploration of Yokohama begins with the historical district where old and new meet in beautiful juxtaposition.

誰か来たの？

Red brick warehouses that once served as customs buildings now serve as shops, museums and event spaces in this beautiful area.

- そう - 何？

You have a little visitor?

ショップキンズ？ いいね！

Who is it? It's a Shopkin.

ルースが前から来たかった場所を 探検します

It's a Shopkin? Cool!

土産店や特産品のお店が 入っています

This is an area that Ruth has always wanted to explore more, and tonight we're just getting a taste of what it's like.

多くの店が撮影禁止なので 外観をお届けします

Many shops fill the inside of these old buildings with novelties and specialties you'll only find here.

ジョシュアは？

In fact, most of them ask that you don't film inside, so we can only show you a part of what it was like.

アナ 何か見つけた？

Where's Joshua?

ママが来たかった場所

What do you see Anna? Is it cool?

暖まるわよ！

This is where mommy wanted to go. The Red Brick Warehouse.

馬みたいでしょ？

Warm up!

お店やレストランも多く 遊歩道も綺麗です

I'm a horsey. You're a horsey!?

夏の夜にイベントがあったら 気持ち良いでしょう

All kinds of attractions for shopping and dining fill this area, and they are all beautifully connected with ample scenic walkways.

You can imagine how special this would be on a cool summer's evening with festivals and fireworks, bustling with people having a good time.

みなとみらいの観覧車は 世界有数の大きさです

That is really freakin' cool, huh guys?

世界最大の 時計機能付き大観覧車です

The Minato Mirai area of Yokohama boasts the Cosmo Clock 21, one of the biggest Ferris wheels in the world.

完成直後に もっと高い観覧車が出来ました

Clocking in at 108 meters, it held the record as the tallest Ferris Wheel,

誰か笑ってるわ

only to be surpassed by another Japanese Ferris wheel shortly after it was built.

派手なアイボールみたい

There's, I hear people laughing.

サウロンの目

It's doing like a psychedelic flip-eye ball

寒かったので観覧車は断念して

The eye of Sauron.

歩いて温まりました

Since everyone was so chilly, we decided not to do the 15 minute car ride to the top and back,

いつか来たいです！

but to keep moving along and keep warm.

綺麗ね アニバーサリー？

Hopefully we can get back here and try it sometime soon.

アニバーサリー？ 記念日に来ないと！

ディズニーの結婚式場みたい

Look at that place.

海沿いの綺麗な公園と ビルが美しいです

It looks like a Disney-land for getting married.

日本では珍しいです

Parks fill the seafront of Yokohama and add even more beauty to one of Japan's most iconic skylines.

水路と国際的な雰囲気が シカゴに似ています

The open spaces between the skyscrapers is a rarity in Japan,

川沿いの都市です

and that open feel mixed with the waterways and internationality of the city makes it feel like Chicago to me,

見て！多分…

another iconic city along the water.

まだ5時33分？

Oh look! I think its...

- そうだね - もう暗いの？

Oh! It's still 5:33?!

5時半過ぎに思えない？

I know! And it's already this dark?

7時かと思った

It's already this dark. Doesn't it feel way later than 5:30?

ママは？

I feel like it's 7:00.

- 5時半には思えない？ - まだ5時半？

Huh Momma chan? What?

観覧車の時計によるとね

It feels way later than 5:30. It's only 5:30?!

8時かと思ったわ

Well it's 5:33 according to the giant Ferris wheel.

寝る時間よね

I thought it was like 8:00.

凄い

And past everyone's bed time.

Hey Dude, are you going to do this one? Show me.

横浜といえば中華街です

This is like the one at our park.

中華街！

So slow. So slow?

日本一の中華街で 世界でも有数の規模です

Do you know what else Chinatown is famous for?

横浜は日本の玄関口だったので

Chinatown!

外国の文化が大きく広がりました

Yokohama's Chinatown is the largest in Japan and one of the largest in the world.

居留地を中心に発展しました

Since Yokohama become Japan's Front door to the world,

美味しそうだね

it's only natural that one of the biggest settlement of foreigners, including Chinese, would happen here,

苺の飴があるわ

especially because foreigners needed special permission to venture outside of this area.

楽しそうなお店が沢山あるね どこで食べようか？

The food looks very authentic, doesn't it?

あれ見て！

Yeah- those are interesting candied strawberries.

クッパの城みたいだね！

They have so many shops with lots of good looking stuff. Where are we going to end up eating?

本物のお城かも？！

Look at the end of the road!

後ろ向きに歩く

It looks like Bowser's Castle down there, doesn't it?

後ろ向きで？ ちゃんと見てね

Ha ha! It's like a real Bowser's Castle, Dude!

裏路地です

Yeah. I'm just walking backwards.

何食べる？

You're walking backwards now? OK watch where you're going, watch where you're going!

苺ね

OK tiny street, here we go.

甘い苺よ お財布出して

What are you going to get?

It's sweet Strawberry. Can I have money? Yes.

唐揚げとポテト？

スパイシーよ

Oh! It looks good.

辛い味付けだね

Who else is going to try it now? OK Sarah, why don't you try it real quick.

- ベッカは？ - 辛い

Well we ordered some chicken, some big chickens and fries,

旨辛い？

It's got chili powder on it!

パパは好きだよ 食べたい人？

It's got chili powder and they are spicy, whew!

- 辛いの？ - 少しね

How is it, Becca? Spicy.

これ見て

Spicy, but good? Yea.

後ろ向いて

I like it. Anyone want to try a bite of Daddy's huge chicken?

可愛い？

Is it spicy? A little bit. It's hot.

- 欲しい？ - つけてみたい

Look, let me show you on her.

中華街でお土産探しです

Move. Turn around, please.

サラ 後ろ向いて

Isn't that pretty? Whoa.

可愛い飾り！

Should we buy some? Yea, let's buy it and wear it right now.

アナも飾りを見せてくれる？

We're getting some fun souvenirs here from Chinatown.

辛い物を食べて 喉が渇きました

Hair things. Not for us, Dude.

中華風の自動販売機です

Everyone ate spicy food and now we're all thirsty.

パパはアップルティー

ママ 行きつけのお店

この辺の店の皆が買ってるかな

Look what we found... Mommy's favorite grocery store

次の場所に行くよ

Gyomu Super, right by Chinatown.

何があるかな

I'm sure they're selling food to all the vendors here.

うるさいから魔法をかけたの…

Alright, now it's time for our next excursion.

（子供達の笑い声）

Where will we go? What will we see?

出して！

They were being too noisy so I said "Skidadily-do"

出発するよ 大きな滑り台に行くよ

(Kids laughing)

横浜には良い公園が 沢山あります

Let me out!

金沢自然公園の 滑り台に来ました

OK, should we get ready to go now? We're going to go to the big park with a big slide.

子供と旅行する時は 途中で公園で思い切り遊ばせます

Yokohama is home to some truly beautiful parks,

巨大な滑り台があるよ！

and we've come to Kanazawa Natural Park to see if their roller slide is one of the best in Japan.

ここが現在地 どうしようか？

When traveling with kids, it's good to let them get their energy out at fun parks along the way.

この道はつまらなさそう

There's where we want to go: massive slide.

山を通っていく？

And there's where we are, so what do we have to do?

つまらない道はどう？

We can go over here the boring way, or... The boring way!

何で？

Or walk down that huge mountain side?

楽しいと思うよ

I think we want to go the "boring" way.

巨大滑り台？

What? Why?

そうだよ

It's not going to be boring.

- 滑り台の王様？ - そうだね！

Are you going on the massive slide?

前のより大きいかな

Yes we are.

どう思う？

The "Master" slide? The "Master" slide.

どうかな

I wonder if it's going to be bigger than the other one we just did?

だいぶ長そうだね

What do you think? It's longer than the other one?

工事中だって！ これの為に来たのに！

No.

他で遊ぼう！

It looks like a long slide. We're about to find out.

ここがスタート地点です

Look- it's under construction, the big roller slide, the whole reason we came!

先日の滑り台より大きそうです

Ohhh. But we still can have fun!

また来ないと

Look, there's the start of the slide, and then it goes down, down, down...

この前の方が大きかった

This may be bigger than the other one we just did now

チーズ！

But I don't know, we'll have to come back and see, huh?

面白そうだね

I think the other one is longer.

ベッカだよ

Cheese! (Imitates camera shutter sound)
