What to know
Yokohama (横浜) is Japan's second largest city, home to over three million people. Located less than half an hour south of Tokyo by train, it serves as the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture.
In the late Edo Period (1603–1868), when Japan was largely isolated, Yokohama's port was among the first to open to foreign trade in 1859. This transformed the small fishing village into a major city. Today, Yokohama remains a popular hub for expats, boasts one of the world's largest Chinatowns, and preserves historic Western residences in the Yamate district.
