About Yokohama
Yokohama is Japan's second-largest city, a port south of Tokyo with a modern waterfront, the country's biggest Chinatown and hillside foreign quarters.
Yokohama grew from a fishing village into a treaty port after 1859, and its harbour still defines the city. Minato Mirai 21, the waterfront district, has the Landmark Tower, a Ferris wheel and a promenade with views over the bay. The Red Brick Warehouse buildings are now shops and event halls, and Yamashita Park runs along the water beside the Hikawa Maru, a retired ocean liner.
