Since it was such a nice day, we were hoping to be able to see Mt. Fuji from Yokohama's Marine Tower, the tallest lighthouse in the world. The mountain eluded us once again, but the view was still spectacular. We even saw a couple get married on a nearby rooftop! Below us, Yamashita Park seemed so inviting we decided to take a stroll through it. As is often the case when in Japan, thousands of other people had the same idea. It was a treat to see families picnicking, boys playing baseball, couples tossing frisbees, and kids chasing their dads. Not surprisingly, Japanese people have perfected the art of building and using parks.
