Yokohama
Yokohama (, Yokohama-shi^?) is the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture and Japan's largest incorporated city,^ with a population of 3.6 million, located in the Kanto region of the main island of Honshu. Yokohama is a major commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area.Chinatown in Yokohama
- Chinatown (中華街 ), MM21 Motomachi-Chukagai station. Yokohama's Chinatown is the largest in Japan and dates back to the Opening of Japan in 1859. These days it's unabashedly touristy, but there are plenty of Chinese grocery stores and places to buy a cheap dress or jade knick-knacks.
- Bay Stars Stadium. Located in Naka ward. A short walk from Chinatown or Kannai station, this is probably one of the most fun places to watch a baseball game in Japan. Known as the Bay Stars Stadium, the Yokohama Baseball Team of the Central League, the Stadium itself was built on the remains of the Cricket Ballpark of the last century for the British delegation. The Bay Stars Stadium is an open roof stadium with natural grass, very rare in Japan, which prefers to man-made grass to save on costs, and the entertainment boasted throughout the games is trying hard, and doing a good job, by Japanese terms, in trying to have each game hosted at the "home ground" to be as American as possible.
- Yamashita Park. On the waterfront, adjacent to the ferry terminal. Don't miss the statue of the "Girl With Red Shoes". This is also a good spot to see fireworks.
- Marine Tower. The largest onland lighthouse in the world. It is located in Naka ward. Currently closed to the public until 2009 pending change of ownership and renovation.
- Hikawa Maru. This passenger liner made 238 voyages across the Pacific to Seattle and Vancouver between 1930 and 1960, and served as a hospital ship during World War II. Currently closed to the public until 2009 pending change of ownership.
Sakuragicho as seen from Sky Walk
- Sky Walk. An observation platform attached to the Bay Bridge. To get there, take a bus in front of JR Sakuragicho station. If you cannot find the correct bus, ask for help from the Tourist information center located right in front of the station. However, the bus trip takes quite a while and there is nothing more to see than the view of Minato Mirai from afar.
- Landmark Tower, MM21 Minato Mirai station. The tallest building in Japan is located in the new Minato Mirai 21 district. The observation platform on the top 69th floor provides good views (admission ¥1,000). The elevators are said to be the fastest in Japan. For a classier experience, try the cocktail lounge on the 70th floor (¥1,000 cover, drinks ¥1000+ each) or eat dinner on the 68th (see below).
Foreigner's house in Yamate area
- Sankei-en Park (三渓園) . 35 minutes by bus from Yokohama station. Located southeast of Naka ward, this is a traditional style of park and known as (lit. "set park") in Japanese. Opened in 1906, this large park (175000 sq.ft.) has many Japanese traditional buildings, 13 of which have been designated as national heritages.
- Yamate (山手). This is the neighbourhood where foreigners settled and still settle. You can make a pleasant walk from the Italian garden near Ishikawa-cho station to the French park near Motomachi Chukagai station. The walk will take you along some nice houses that were previously owned by rich foreigners. Nowadays, these houses can be visited freely. A nice cakeshop can be found here as well. The foreigner cemetery is also along this route and houses a small museum with some pictures of the Motomachi shopping street in the old days and some more cartoons how the Japanese saw foreigners.
