Yokohama officially the
City of Yokohama, is the second largest city in
Japan by population after

Kanagawa Prefecture. It lies on Tokyo Bay, south of Tokyo, in the
Kantō region of the main island of
Honshu. It is a major commercial hub of the
Greater Tokyo Area.
Yokohama's population of 3.7 million makes it Japan's largest incorporated city.[2] Yokohama developed rapidly as Japan's prominent port city following the end of Japan's relative isolation in the mid-19th century, and is today one of its major ports along with
Kobe,
Osaka,
Nagoya, Hakata, Tokyo, and

See in Yokohama, Japan
===================
Hara Model Railway Museum
-------------------------------------
The result of
Hara Nobutaro's lifelong obsession with trains, this superb collection of model trains and other railway-associated memorabilia is every kid's and trainspotter's dream come true. Even if you don't care much for trains the sheer scale of the collection and beautiful detail of the exhibits is captivating. The highlight is the mammoth gauge one diorama of moving locomotives where you can act as train driver.
Chinatown
----------------
Always wanted to go to
China? Yokohama's Chinatown has the sights, sounds, aromas of
Hong Kong without the airfare, rivalling
Minato Mirai in popularity.
Within its 10 elaborately painted gates are all manner of
Chinese specialty stores and some
500 food shops and (often expensive) restaurants and enchanting neon displays at night. Chinatown's heart is the
Chinese temple Kantei-byō (admission free;;10:00-20:00), dedicated to Kanwu, the god of business.
Sankei-en
---------------
Opened to the public in
1906, this beautifully landscaped garden features walking paths among ponds,
17th-century buildings, several fine tea-ceremony houses and a 500-year-old, three-storey pagoda. The inner garden is a fine example of traditional
Japanese garden landscaping. From Yokohama or Sakuragi-chō
Station, take bus 8 to Honmoku Sankei-en-mae bus stop (10 minutes).
