About-Yokohama

  Welcome to the Beautiful City of Yokohama!

In 2009, Yokohama will celebrate its 150th anniversary. This is a celebration that not only commemorates the founding of this special city, but also marks the time when Japan opened its doors to the world. Since the port was founded in 1859, Yokohama has been a truly international city founded on shipping and trade.  From the very beginning, Yokohama has welcomed people from all over the world. There has always been a spirit of friendship and an understanding of culture through the diversity of the city’s residents. Over the years, Yokohama has become a center for the arts, cultural activities and business.

While Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan, it has more of a neighborhood or community feel than that of a large urban center. Unlike Tokyo, there are many affordable large houses and apartments in Yokohama. In each neighborhood there are parks and green spaces. It is easy to get around in Yokohama either by car or public transportation. The city is only 20KM from Tokyo and 90 minutes from the New Tokyo International Airport.

In Yokohama there is always something to do. You can see the magnificent views of Tokyo Bay from Yamashita Park or stroll around China Town. Yokohama has terrific shopping from the small shops to the large shopping centers like Landmark Tower. Along with the shops, there are restaurants to fit everyone’s taste and budget. There are also many social activities for the international community including the Yokohama Country Athletic Club.

Yokohama is the perfect place for families in the international community in the Kanto region. Besides the parks and nice houses, there are a number of accredited international schools that offer the British, U.S. and German courses of study including the Yokohama International School, St. Maur International School, the Deutsche Schule, and the Yokohama Overseas Chinese School.

Indeed, Yokohama has something for everyone and is one of the most livable cities in the region. Yokohama is the place for you to enjoy a superior quality of life for you and your family while you are in Japan.
