About Yokohama

Japan’s second largest city lies just a short 30 minute train ride south of Tokyo and makes for a great day trip from Tokyo. Yokohama was one of the first ports to open up to the world after the Meiji restoration in 1859 and soon became a hub for trade with the world. Its laidback cosmopolitan vibes and port side location have long been a popular draw for Japanese and expats alike. Yokohama is also home to one of the world’s biggest Chinatowns as well as the Ramen museum and cup ramen museum. The minatomirai area with its small amusement park and selection of shops are ideal for families too. Its proximity to Tokyo and delicious food scene make it a great way to spend a day.
