The lagoon paddle is worth doing, but I'd add that the best light is actually late afternoon, not the morning tours everyone books. I went on the 3 PM trip and the water turned this crazy copper color...

Anyone looking for a ticket to the Iron Maiden Yokohama show on 9/28 (Sat)?

Going with some friends to the Saturday, September 28th concert in Yokohama and we bought 8 tickets total, but one person is no longer able to go. If anyone is looking for a ticket, I'd be happy t...
