Yokohama

Yokohama is a harbour city just south west of Tokyo - it's 20 min with commuter trains between the cities, so in a way it's the same city nowadays. Because of the harbour background it's very international - as you can see on this photo...
The reason why we went here is this ferry terminal - really cool! It’s like a pier of wood, grass and glass with wonderful angles and spaces.


The other reason was this tower. I've read a lot about it and the cool thing about is that it changes its look depending of temperature, wind speed and direction. When we got to there we could find it. We were at the spot where it supposed to be but we could find it... Until we realised that the small thing in the middle of a green spot between some roads actually is the tower! We thought it wold be bigger... And it didn't change as long as we looked at it.Playing with my new camera at the taxistand next to the station.
