These old red brick-houses were a part of the old portarea and had been restored and rebuilt as a great shopping-centre including cafes and restaurants. When walking through the building you will still see some of the old iron-gates and other construction-details of the former warehouse at some places (see my 2nd, 3rd and 5th photo!).
What to buy: They have souvenirshops as well as the latest fashion, jewelry and many others.
What to pay: Prices are quite the same as in the rest of Yokohama.

Usually located in parks, stadiums, open-spaces. You can find anything when there is flea markets. From watches, electronics, CDs, DVDs, lighters, clothing, shoes, etc. Prices are really really low and you can get further discount when bargaining with the price.
To find the schedule and location of the next flea market, one has to check the internet.
What to buy: everything
What to pay: ranges from Y100 ~ Y20,000 depending on the item

Lots of factory-like outlets selling mostly branded stuff at pretty reasonable prices... But if you feel like you don't have a lot to spend, you can still go there to enjoy looking at the buildings which were designed to look like those buildings found in english marina towns..... or dine at those fancy restaurants facing the marina, watching the boats and yachts docked at the pier.
What to buy: Lots ... - Nike, Levi's (hey, you can get the special Japanese designs only in Japan, why not get it here at discounted prices), Timberland etc etc... The outlets here would probably appeal most to the young and the young-at-hearts ;-)
What to pay: Depends on the outlet, but usually less than the actual price.

World Porters is a large shopping centre in the Minato Mirai 21 waterfront district of Yokohama. There is a food hall and many clothing shops. There's also a cinema complex. The centre doesn't open till quite late on Sundays.
What to buy: Clothes, Japanese kitsch 'toys', some finer products like chinaware, linen, stationery.

You are in Chinatown - you can buy lots of things Chinese. Step into some of gift shops along the streets. You can find not only tea and snacks to take home, but also China dress, lucky charms, ceramic wares etc.

Malls in Japan are very expensive and that the price is not the final one since you have to add another 5% for the tax! I wouldn't recommend you to have your shopping in here but everything you can find in Malls are not imitations unlike any other places.
What to buy: Buy some antiques of Japanese styles it surely be a decorations in your home.
What to pay: A Japanese sword I bought during our last visit worth a 200 dollars or 25,000 yen.

One of the expensive store in West Exit in Yokohama Station.
.
They have famous brand name products from all over the world.
.
I just look around and I bought myself a souvenier FiFa World Cup t-shirt.
.
Ground level at service desk they have English speaking staffs but I am not sure maybe they only cater to tourist for the World Cup Game.
