Yokohama Japan Travel Guide
A travel guide for visiting the city of Yokohama, in Japan. Yokohama is Japan's largest city with 3.7M people. Just a short 30-minute train ride from Tokyo, Yokohama is an easy day trip. Highlights include: Minato Mirai, China Town, Yamashita Park, and the Sea Bass. SUSBCRIBE:In this video I cover the major highlights of Yokohama that you can visit in a day-trip to Yokohama. After arriving at Yokohama station, I stop at the Tourist Information booth at the JR Yokohama Station to pick-up english maps. Then I head out the west exit to the Yokohama Station shopping district. On the West side of Yokohama station there are a great selection of stores including Yodobashi Camera, Japan's largest Electronics Store, Tokyu Hands Creative Life Store (my favorite store in Japan for cool gadgets), and Takashimaya department store.
I then head out to the Yokohama Station East exit to take a ride on the Sea Bass. The Sea Bass is a pedestrian ferry of sorts that goes between Yokohama Station, and Yamashita Park, with intermediate stops at Minato Mirai and the Red Brick Buildings. The Sea Bass has a direct route to Yamashita park that takes about 20 minutes, or an indirect route that makes those two intermediate stops which takes about 35 minutes.
Yamashita Park is a neat waterfront park with a nice wide pedestrian sidewalk along the harbor. Yamashita Park often hosts special events on weekends. The weekend that I visited Yamashita Park it was hosting an international food festival.
Chinatown is about a 5 minute walk from Yamashita Park... Check out my other video linked below for more info on Yokohama Chinatown.
Then I took the subway from Chinatown to the Minato Mirai district. The Minato Mirai district is Yokohama's newest district with some futuristic looking highrises including the Landmark Tower, Japan's tallest office building. The Landmark tower is also home to Japan's fastest elevators. Minato Mirai is best visited at night to see the colorful light displays on the Ferris wheel.
Yokohama is also home to a couple of note-worthy museums that I didn't visit in this video but at worth a mention. 1: Cup Noodle Museum (where you can make your own cup noodle). 2: Ramen Museum (more of a food-court with a whole bunch of ramen shops)

The famous port city which is a romantic dating spot and has a rich atmosphere of exoticism
Area Characteristics
Yokohama is popular with the younger generations as a dating spot. It has a renowned night view and is a hit for its stylish shopping malls, a Ferris wheel and a park along the sea. With its opening in 1859 as an international trading port along Yokohama Bay, it has come to boast the largest Chinatown in Japan and is a unique city with an air of exoticism.
Major Sites
In the Minato Mirai 21 area, there is Yokohama Landmark Tower for starters with its observation deck overlooking a lovely night view, and places such as Red Brick Park and Cosmo World. Along with the seaside Yamashita Park and Osanbashi Pier, there are also theme parks including Hakkeijima Sea Paradise and Zoorasia, and areas such as Yokohama Chinatown, Motomachi, and Sankei-en Garden which can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
Food
The delicacy here is siu mai dumplings. The butaman (pork buns) of Chinatown are also popular. Yokohama is also characterized by its many Western restaurants as the first Japanese city to first introduce Western culture with establishments ranging from venerable restaurants to the latest eateries to become the talk of the town. Raisin sandwiches, Ariake Harbor products and other sweets make great souvenirs symbolizing the city. Local Yokohama ramen and family-run ramen restaurants are also famous.
Transportation
From Tokyo Station, the JR Tokaido line to Yokohama is the speediest and most convenient, being able to reach the city within 30 minutes. For sightseeing within the city, the tour bus moving around the main tourist sites in the bayside area, the one-day pass to get around on the city bus, subway system and other public transportation systems are handy. However, since the routes into the Minato Mirai 21 area are especially crowded on public holidays, reserving a lot of time and/or walking around the area is recommended.
Accommodations
Hotel facilities in Yokohama are mainly concentrated within the tourist areas such as Minato Mirai 21, Sakuragicho, Bashamichi, Yamashita Park, Motomachi and Chinatown.
