Torihama

Today's a holiday in Japan. Japanese celebrates Culture Day. We opted to go to Torihama.

Torihama is the shopping capital this side of Japan. Many international brands have outlet store here.

The place is called Mitsui Outlet Park at the Yokohama Bayside Marina.

To get there from Sacuragicho, we need to take JR Negeshi line then the Seaside Line.

The weather today is so cold. Strong winds intensify the coldness I have to buy the very first jacket I saw. Luckily I saw a cheaper one.

The place is architecturally nice. It's concept is a western style marina area.

Good finds, we may say. The temptation of panic buying struck us. Where in the world can you find an adidas shoes worth 2,200+ yen? Or a pair of Levi's worth 15,000+ yen now selling at 4,900? And how about winter jackets costing at around 5-7,000 yen? O yes, I bought it all. I grabbed the chance, hehehe.

Here's what I had shopped:

All in all, I had spent around 28,000 yen from the merchandizes alone. But that's ok. I want it and I think I need these for my a year or more stay here in Japan. Not that bad.

And should I say we plan to go there again at the yearend sale?

And here is the ultimate item I want at Torihama, hope I'll had the chance to buy this one:

A nice experience, but hopefully, I still have enough money for my leaving here for the next two months.

Japan has so much to offer, and this, is just a glimpse of it. I am excited for more.
