Essential city info, articles & travel tips from our local hosts
Take the neon-lit skyscrapers of Tokyo, Osaka’s laidback vibe, and Kyoto’s combination of old and new, then swirl them all together with a fresh ocean breeze and you’ll get a good idea for the feel of Yokohama. Though it lives in the shadow of Japan’s capital city (Tokyo is just a short train ride away), Yokohama has an attitude and atmosphere all of its own. As one of the first Japanese ports open to foreigners, the city boasts a richly internationalized history – and several of Japan’s top attractions. From century-old warehouses converted into sophisticated galleries to districts lined by the 1920s-era mansions of Western diplomats, Yokohama’s historic sights go far beyond quintessentially Japanese shrines and temples, while modern Yokohama is itself a marvel – the futuristic Minato Mirai skyline stretching up from the harbor is a symbol of the city. When the sun sets, locals grab a delectable bite at Chinatown before heading to the lantern-lit nightlife district for drinks at a low-key jazz bar.
