Addis’ Japan Trip 2024 Part 5: A Quick Trip to Yokohama

Title: A Brief Yet Memorable Adventure: Yokohama in a Feverish State

Visiting Japan is a dream come true for many, and when you’re in Tokyo, the vibrant city of Yokohama beckons with promises of excitement and adventure. However, what happens when illness strikes, and you find yourself battling a stubborn strep throat? This is the tale of a short but memorable excursion to Yokohama from Tokyo, while still nursing a high fever and a passion for anime.

The decision to venture out from Tokyo to Yokohama, despite feeling under the weather, was fueled by a mix of determination and a love for exploration. With a trusty map in hand and a pocketful of tissues, the journey began. However, it quickly became apparent that the fever wasn’t going to let up anytime soon.

Despite the discomfort, Yokohama’s charm managed to captivate even through a feverish haze. We didn’t go far, only to the main mall in Yokhohama station which had a Lashingbang. For an anime enthusiast, the allure of anime merchandise is simply irresistible. Despite the fever-induced fatigue, the lure of anime figures proved too strong to resist.

With shaky hands and a fuzzy mind, the search for the perfect anime figures began. Each store was a treasure trove of characters from beloved series, and every shelf held the promise of finding a cherished collectible. Despite the fever-induced haze, the joy of discovering rare finds amidst rows of neatly displayed figures brought a much-needed spark of excitement.

As the day progressed, it became evident that the fever wasn’t going to let up. Despite efforts to soldier on, it was clear that the body needed rest. However, the damage had been done, not to health but to the wallet. The allure of anime figures had led to a spree of impulsive purchases, leaving a considerable dent in the budget.

With bags filled with anime treasures and a sense of accomplishment tinged with fever-induced delirium, it was time to bid farewell to Yokohama. The journey back to the hotel was a blur of fatigue and excitement, with the promise of rest and recovery awaiting. While the excursion to Yokohama may have been short-lived and marred by illness, it was a testament to the enduring spirit of adventure. Even in the face of adversity, the allure of exploration and the passion for anime proved to be powerful motivators. As the fever subsided and the memories of Yokohama lingered, it became clear that even the briefest of adventures can leave an indelible mark on the soul. And who knows, perhaps another trip to Yokohama, in better health, awaits in the future.
