  When I think of Yokohama, I think of Motomachi. It was a most unique area and filled with excitement. As a young man in my early 20s, Motomachi was a very lively area with many westerners and many Japanese students, all teaching and learning the others languages. Bookstores were everywhere, the aromas of baked goods was pleasant. One thing that stands out is the Pizza Shop, one of the first ones I stumbled on to in Yokohama. The only other was near the Dependents Housing area at the Yokosuka Naval Housing Area. There's much more to the story about the little basement pizza bar than just pizza. It was a hangout for the older teenagers who lived in the housing area.
