I actually ended up in Yokohama by total accident last year. I had planned this big Tokyo itinerary with all the usual spots: Shibuya scramble, Harajuku crepes, Asakusa temples… you know the drill. But after a few days of battling crowds and getting way too familiar with rush hour on the Yamanote Line, I needed a break. Someone at my hostel casually mentioned Yokohama, so I hopped on the train thinking I’d be back by dinner. Spoiler: I stayed the whole day... and then went back the next day too.

There’s just something about Yokohama that felt instantly more relaxed. The waterfront at Minato Mirai is beautiful (and photogenic, the whale back.... amazing), the little shops and cafes near Motomachi were surprisingly charming, and I didn’t think I’d love the Cup Noodles Museum as much as I did. Chinatown was a total vibe too. Great food and nice people.

Honestly? Yokohama kind of stole the show. Tokyo has the flash and energy, sure, but Yokohama felt more like a place I’d want to live in rather than just visit. Underrated gem, 10/10 would accidentally discover again.

I still have my cup noodle that I created from the cup noodle museum. Too precious to eat it so it will be sealed forever 😅

Yokohama looks like an amazing place. If I become rich, I would totally visit the city of Yokohama for all it has to offer. I've wanted to visit Japan all my life.

the kawasaki factory building looks just like the shinra building in final fantasy VII

This was such a great guide to Yokohama! I'm planning a trip next April and I’ve always been curious about exploring different areas around the city I've heard a lot about the waterfront at Minato Mirai and the food and shops in Chinatown. So many spots to check out! I’m really sad the life-sized Gundam isn’t there anymore though, I was hoping to see it in person but now it's gone. Still, Yokohama looks like an amazing place to visit!

Shout out from Brazil

Why will we go to Yokohama ? In three letters:
BSD
✨📚BUNGOU STRAY DOGS📚✨
YEEEAAAY

Also the Cup Noodles museum cuz this used to be my favourite dish back then, and they made a collab with BSD with goodies like a notebook, one of which made me find my mate. Circle completed nya)🐾🖤🌟

Edit: Thanks for the video

Another bonus: if you’re an anime fan, Yokohama is where Bungo Stray Dogs takes place and you can go on a photo safari and shoot the EXACT spots from the show all over town 🥰 That’s what I’m doing when I get there in November/December. And if you’ve never seen Bungo Stray Dogs, you should get on that because it’s incredible.

I actually stay in hotels in Yokohama (Sakiragicho/MM21) and commute to Tokyo daily whenever I stay in Japan. Just 35min by train on the Keihin Tohoku line from Sakuragicho St.

Also, you can test drive cars at Nissan HQ. You just need an intl driver’s licenses and your home country license to test drive. However, you can only book online and it’s Japanese only. Also, if you want to test drive a GTR or Fairladay, you have be 35yrs or older.

Just moved to Yokohama for work and hope to explore some of the suggestions in your video. Thanks for sharing!

@rey2293 1 year ago

nice guide! yokohama is so underrated. i went there last year and literally no tourist there. people go to kamakura but skip this beautiful city.

@JustMC7074 1 year ago

I really enjoyed my time there. It’s just a great city and loved our hotel stay. Took a day trip to Mt. Fuji, Tokyo Disney, day trip to Tokyo with varied activities, day trip to Kamakura, The Cup of Noodle museum, Sankeien Gardens and shopping at the Takashimaya Yokohama. I’m going back next month. Can’t wait.

I went to Japan for the first time last year in November. Was there for two weeks but spent the first 4 days in Yokohama. Absolutely amazing city. So much to offer, different varieties of things to experience. and the RAMEN.. But i stayed at the SOTETSU HOTELS THE SPLASIR YOKOHAMA, basically connected to Yokohama station which made city exploring to neighboring places like Shinjuku, Tokyo, Shibuya, Shinagawa, and Ginza a breeze. The vibe is so different from Tokyo, (You'd have to visit it to understand it) and the places to see are so dope. Out of my entire two week trip i stayed in Yokohama, Shin-Yokohama, Fukuoka, Osaka, and Nara. And BY FAR, Yokohama was my favorite location. Hopefully after seeing this video more people will check out Yokohama and enjoy all it has to offer! Thanks for making this video about the City that has my heart! haha

I am from Yokohama (have lived in the states for too many decades now 😢).
Stayed in Yokohama in 2024 for a visit. Other videos of Yokohama mention Minatomirai, Red Brick Building, Chinatown, Cup o Noodles museum, and the ferris wheel.

I'm soooo happy you mentioned places i didn't know about!! I'm going in November and extra excited to stay in Yokohama ❤ Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
