We visited a shrine and Hiked to see a budha carved into the mountainside, I will see if my son can remember any of the names

Mikasa Park next to the base is a nice daytime break.

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.

I also loved visiting Chinatown in Yokohama.  It's Chinatown.  In Japan.

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.

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?
