Yokohama

The Yokohama port origins story is absolutely fascinating and one that western travellers can connect with, since we are a central part in its formation, for better and worse. From the late 19th century, all the action was here, as the first place to open to the world. The landmarks, old buildings, carefully laid out sections of the bay, tell this story, all within a walkable distance. The perfect place to end a tour of the country and get further inspiration to eturn again.Just 20 minutes from Haneda airport it is the perfect final leg of the classic golden route itinerary, offering all excitement of a Japan mega-city, but with a huge diversity of experiences and sights neatly compacted within walking distance around the bay area.
