Yokohama City, about 40 minutes away from Tokyo by train. It is the second largest city of Japan in terms of population, also a popular tourist site.

Because of Port of Yokohama opened in 1859, and quickly became the major trading location with foreign countries. So Yokohama has a very unique mixed culture than other cities in Japan. You can see some western style buildings and also the largest China Town in Asia.

After visiting popular tourist sites, don't forget the night view of Minato Mirai 21.
