<p>I have had my tickets since October 2019 to go see my son in Misawa, was so looking forward to it. My husband tells me I cannot go with this virus pandemic right now. I was optimistically thinking it was far enough out (May 10, 2020) and it will be fine. Anybody else have a trip planned to Japan for spring?</p>

<p>Great Info AntiM, we walked so many places, I lost track of the names!

<p>I adore Kamakura, which is where you can see the Great Buddha. The Fleet and Family Service Center used to provide walking maps, but I don't know if they do in this day of apps.<br/><br/><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g303156-Activities-c47-t10-Kamakura_Kanagawa_Prefecture_Kanto.html">https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g303156-Activities-c47-t10-Kamakura_Kanagawa_Prefecture_Kanto.html<br/></a></p>
<p>I also loved visiting Chinatown in Yokohama. It's Chinatown. In Japan. </p>

<p>So much good food! Everywhere, really hard to go wrong. I will be severely disappointed if you eat at the Chilis on base. Just don't. I can explain what the different Japanese foods are. When in doubt, find a place with the wax dishes on display, and point to what you want. Really easy. <br/><br/><a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g298174-Yokosuka_Kanagawa_Prefecture_Kanto.html">https://www.tripadvisor.com/Restaurants-g298174-Yokosuka_Kanagawa_Prefecture_Kanto.html</a></p>
