Luggage and bags: Pack light, and bring as little luggage as possible.
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: The summer is very hot and humid, so when traveling to Yokohama during that time of year bring lots of shorts and t-shirts. Try not to bring very many pairs of pants or long sleeve shirts, as you'll find you won't be using them all too often, it just gets too hot and sticky to wear. If you don't plan on going to any fancy resturants or you don't have any business meetings, try to avoid pants and long sleeved shirts. You may even find that shorts are sometimes too much clothing in this weather, and it's even hot during the night. Sandles to me were a must have as well
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunscreen, lots and lots of suncreen. But if you're like me and you don't burn no matter what, just bring a small amount. Deodorant and cologne are also good items to bring as well. The heat and the humidity make you sweat a lot, and you don't want to be walking around smelling like a gym locker.
Photo Equipment: Camera, or video-camera and lots of film, there are many places in Yokohama to take pictures of.
Miscellaneous: Bring yourself, a trip to Yokohama just isn't the same if you're not there to experience it firsthand, haha.

I went back to Yokohama last November and had a blast! This time was also for business, but it was fun because I knew what to expect, and it was great to see everyone at Panasonic in Yokohama again!

Day-trip from Tokyo to Yokohama

I visited Yokohama as a day trip from Tokyo with some Japanese friends. The only thing I knew from this city is that the highest building of Japan is here.
