Yokohama Travel Guide
Overview
The second largest city in Japan, Yokohama is a popular tourist destination best known for its large Chinatown, port, and preserved Western
buildings built in the mid-1800s, when Edo Period Japan was finally opened to international trade.
Only about a 30-minute train ride from Tokyo, it is one of the country’s most expat-friendly metropolises.
When To Go

In springtime (March – May) and autumn (September – November), the
average temperature in Yokohama is around 16 degrees Celsius, just right to
enjoy various outdoor activities, such as cherry blossom and autumn foliage
viewing.
During summer (June – August), the city experiences high temperatures and
humidity, so bring hats and umbrellas, wear light clothing, and keep yourself
hydrated.
In the winter (December – February), there are still plenty of tourist activities
but the crowds are thinner.
