Yeah it was great! Thanks for the help finding Yokosuka! I'm SOOO glad I got to go there. 7 years ago when I first played this game I thought it would be pretty cool if I could go there. But I never thought I'd actually do it for real!!
It is important to note that, for a regular tourist visiting Japan, I don't think Yokosuka would be a very interesting place. It takes 2 hours to go there from the place where I was situated (closer to Tokyo), and there is not much to do that can't be done somewhere else
However, of course for a Shenmue fan such as myself and all of the people here, the situation is completely different. You might compare it to visiting the place where your favorite TV series or movie was shot. Even if there isn't much to do, it was a total blast. And to be completely fair, there are quite a few interesting shops too.
Now it's time for some pics for everybody!! Finally!!
I wont post everything because I have a lot of them, but I'll show the most interesting ones. I wont show everything today either.
The visit begins just outside of Shioiri station. If Ryo ever goes down to Tokyo with his friends to have some fun, that's where he takes the train.
Nothing too familiar yet... but after walking just a few steps I came across this:
Things are starting to feel vaguely familiar.
I have no idea what this place is about, but I took a picture just for the hell of it
Continuing along Dobuita street:
"Yes! Now I recognize it! This is it, I'm finally here!!!"
One of the many jacket shops in Yokosuka.
More pictures soon...
