Must-see attractions in Yokohama｜Yokohama Chinatown

📍Location Yokohama Chinatown Address: Yamashita-cho 1, Naka-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture Features: It is the largest Chinatown in Japan, with all kinds of Chinese food, Hong Kong dim sum, desserts, fortune-telling, groceries, and food courts! ⸻ 🚃Transportation (from Yokohama Station) There are two main options: ① JR + transfer to Minato Mirai Line (recommended) • Yokohama Station → Transfer to Minatomirai Line, about 8 minutes • Get off at Motomachi-Chukagai Station, exit 3 and walk about 1-2 minutes to enter Chinatown ② Direct access via JR Negishi Line • Take the JR Negishi Line from Yokohama Station (towards Ofuna) • Get off at Ishikawacho Station, walk out of the south exit for about 5-7 minutes and you can also enter Chinatown (enter from the other end) ⸻ 📝Personal experience The route I use most often is the Minato Mirai Line to Motomachi-Chukagai Station. There is a large archway right outside the station, and you can enter the Chinese atmosphere in an instant. When the lanterns are lit at night, the atmosphere is particularly great, suitable for taking photos and eating while walking. Be sure to save room to try: xiaolongbao (the kind that’s freshly steamed and hot), pepper cakes, Hong Kong-style pineapple buns with ice cream, pan-fried buns, and the many buffet restaurants. There are also some more refined restaurants like Pinzhenlou and Chongqing Restaurant, which have different styles. If you feel like strolling after a meal, you can walk to the park at the foot of the mountain or take the sea bus in 5 to 10 minutes. It is a perfect route for a walk to digest the food after a meal. #AprilDestinations2025 #JapanTravel
