Latest Yokohama hotel reviews
sunnywong Says: An outlet mall near one of Japan's top marinas for yachts and pleasure boats. From here you can see boats plying Tokyo Bay.
yurxlnc Says: The harbour was interesting because of the old boats anchored there making a contrast to the modern skyline.The view out to the ocean was also nice.
tetay Says: yokohoma is an exquisite place. try to walk around and avoid trains and buses to appreciate more the beauty that city offers. the place is very safe. have fun meeting and try to chat with the locals but be sure u are ready with ur dictionary or better yet, learn how to speak...
loveadventure Says: Landmark Tower, a great view of all of Yokahama and beyond! You can even see Mt. Fuji. Gives you a great perspective of the area and how large and populated it is.
Yokahama City, Chinatown and Temple
loveadventure Says: Chinatown is fun! See it at night and it's really pretty. Lots of shopping and good food.Beautiful Temples!
sjvessey Says: Check out the view from the 29th floor of the Sky Tower, in Yokohama proper.Ok, it's not the tallest building in Japan, and there's only one (small) window by the elevator that you can look out of unless you're actually dining there, but there's not many places you can see...

Yokohama Ramen Museum: Top Ramen in Japan
yatingchen Says: Ramen=noodles, originally from China. Japanese make it different. Japanese Ramen that you must try:Salt Ramen, Soya-Bean Ramen, Miso Ramen and Pork-Bone Ramen. Ramen Museum collects the top 8 Ramen restaurants from Japan. The tickets costs 300YEN (1 NTD=3YEN). Consuming...
The Tavern: English pub food, Japanese style
sjvessey Says: The Tavern - a fairly good rendition of an English pub, complete with Bass Pale Ale and (of course) Guinness. Does a pretty good chicken pie and chips. The fish and chips isn't bad either.
sjvessey Says: From Tokyo take any number of railway lines. The Toyoko Line from Shibuya is fairly convenient, and if you get an express train takes only about 30 minutes. It's cheap too - only 260 yen one way (about US$2).
fa330 Says: The Japanese rail system is VERY confusing. Yuri told me even some Japanese can't figure it out!
fa330 Says: This is SOGO department store. It's huge, I think 6 or 7 floors. Yuri took me here after we ate dinner at Agio. I considered it a pleasure to do my part as a tourist and help the Japanese economy a little! Gifts, of course!
I found it was possible to get...
Pbjclimber Says: I found it was possible to get around Japan and not speak any Japanese. The train system was easy to use. Buses were more difficult because there is very little english involved in them. Getting food is pretty easy. Make sure to ask it they have an english menu. Pointing to...
Safety is important in any location
r.travel Says: I am female and after college lived in Yokohama as a gaijin (foreigner) for four years. I felt that it was quite safe Japan and would walk around alone at night from the train station, etc. However, during one of those long distance phone calls back home, my mom gave me some...
r.travel Says: Common sense tells you that if you are female and alone in a train car with other men and it is late at night, best to walk to a more populated train car. Groping seems to be the most common assault for women in Japan.
kjisaac Says: Pack light, and bring as little luggage as possible. 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...
Underground of the Ramen Museum
luciano Says: The interesting part is that at the underground there is a nice reconstruction of a Japanese town in the forties, with fake facades of houses and shops and real ramen-ya where you can sample the noodles (but nothing is included in the price of the entrance ticket!)
luciano Says: My friends had a strange plan: they took me to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum. Do you know 'ramen'? It's a soup with noodles, bean sprouts and pork, a typical Japanese dish. There are many varieties according to the region, but I didn't know there were SO MANY! Well, come to...
bonio Says: We were walking through a park in town and spotted two famous British ex-footballers, who were both in Japan working for TV companies. Ron Atkinson used to be Manager of Man. Utd, WBA and several other clubs, his pal Andy Gray was a Scotland international and played for many...
Go to China Town, Yamashita...
shadowofwind Says: Go to China Town, Yamashita Koen(the park by the port), Sakuragichou, and area around the Yokohama station. Sakuragichou and area close by is where action is. There are many shops and bars. It's very modern, but still retains old port city charm(Yokohama is often called...

Q: Are there long lines for the ramen restaurants in the museum? What is the avg cost of a bowl of ramen (small and normal) size?
A: Depending on the time of day, there can be lines. It also depends on which shop you want to eat in. If you go during lunch or around then, especially on weekends and...

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.
