Yokohama

Yokohama is a speedy 20-minute train ride from Tokyo’s core, but certainly holds its own with its international restaurants, glitzy department stores, and stylish nightlife and arts scenes. Despite its 21st-century appeal, it’s still awash with facets of traditional Japanese life – as seen in its zen-focused temples and delicate tea-drinking ceremonies.

When it comes to things to do, Yokohama isn’t in short supply. You can stroll the tranquil pathways of Sankei-En Garden, immerse yourself in Chinese culture and flavours in Chinatown, or enjoy trendy shopping and dining within the sleek, bayside Minatomirai area.
