Location
Yokohama, one of the oldest international ports in Japan,
is located in the center of Japan near Tokyo.
Since the opening of its port in 1859, Yokohama has been
one of Japan's principal portals to the outside world; theroute through which Western goods and many of the firstforeigners to come to Japan entered. To this day,
Yokohama retains the charm of traditional Japan,
combined with an international flair, creating a city
unique to the world.
So, you can enjoy historical areas such as an old brickwarehouse, sophisticated shopping mall, harbor walk,and the finest Japanese and international cuisine withinjust walking distance.
Beautiful Mt. Fuji, historical Kamakura city (was capital
city in Japan during late 12th and early 13th century,“Samurai” and “Zen” culture began here in Kamakura )are in a one-day trip from Yokohama.

Location
Yokohama, one of the oldest international ports in Japan,
is located in the center of Japan near Tokyo.
Since the opening of its port in 1859, Yokohama has been
one of Japan's principal portals to the outside world; theroute through which Western goods and many of the firstforeigners to come to Japan entered. To this day,
Yokohama retains the charm of traditional Japan,
combined with an international flair, creating a city
unique to the world.
So, you can enjoy historical areas such as an old brickwarehouse, sophisticated shopping mall, harbor walk,and the finest Japanese and international cuisine withinjust walking distance.
Beautiful Mt. Fuji, historical Kamakura city (was capital
city in Japan during late 12th and early 13th century,“Samurai” and “Zen” culture began here in Kamakura )are in a one-day trip from Yokohama.
