Yokohama is Japan's second largest city, a vibrant port metropolis on the western coast of Tokyo Bay. Once a small fishing village, it became Japan's gateway to the world after the opening of Japan in 1854, and today blends a rich international heritage with a modern waterfront skyline. From the largest Chinatown in Japan to the futuristic Minato Mirai district, Yokohama offers a unique mix of history, culture, and urban energy.
