Understanding Yokohama

Yokohama was the first port opened up the foreign trade after the opening of Japan in 1854. At the forefront of the Meiji restoration, the first train line in Japan connected Tokyo and Yokohama. However, Yokohama was devastated by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and again by the firebombings of World War II, and never really regained its prominence. It remains a maritime city to this day and retains an international flavour.

Getting to Yokohama

Yokohama is located only half an hour away from Tokyo, and effectively forms a part of the giant continuous urban area.

By plane
Yokohama does not have its own airport. Some Narita Express trains from Narita Airport go through to Yokohama, while some Keihin Kyuko line trains connect Haneda Airport to Yokohama station.

By train
The overwhelming majority of visitors to Yokohama arrive from Tokyo by train. A multitude of train lines connect the two cities at roughly equal prices (around ¥200 one-way), but some of the more convenient options are:

Tokyu Toyoko Line from Shibuya to Yokohama Station. Some trains on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line run through to the Toyoko Line, which in turn runs through to the recently-opened Minato Mirai 21 subway line. A trip from Shibuya to Yokohama Chinatown, the terminus of the MM21 line, takes only 35 minutes.
JR Yokosuka Line from Tokyo Station and Shinagawa (both on the Yamanote Line).
JR Keihin Tohoku Line from Akihabara, Tokyo, and Shinagawa Stations. This train stops at more stations in Yokohama than the Yokosuka Line.
Keihin Kyuko Main Line from Shinagawa and Haneda Airport.

Shinkansen trains go to Shin-Yokohama station instead, a few subway stops away from the main Yokohama station. If your final destination is Yokohama Chinatown or a the harbour area, taking one of the non-Shinkansen trains listed above is likely to be faster.

Get around Yokohama

The Minato Mirai 21 subway line from Yokohama station down the harbour front to Yokohama Chinatown is the best method of accessing the main tourist haunts
