Aug 26 (Japan by Food) - Looking for a day trip from Tokyo? Yokohama, Japan’s second most populous city, is super accessible by train from Tokyo. While it's often known for having Japan’s largest Chinatown, there’s so much more to explore in this vibrant city.
Join me as I uncover hidden gems in Yokohama beyond the typical tourist spots. Yokohama opened to the world in 1859 as Japan’s first modern international trade port, bringing in a unique blend of Western influences that you can still see today in its cuisine, and architecture. Iconic sites like the red brick warehouses and Yokohama Cosmo World showcase this cultural fusion Minato Mirai, a sleek, futuristic district, is perfect for shopping, dining, and entertainment, and a must-visit, especially for its stunning waterfront views along Yokohama Bay.
