When you visit Tokyo, where will you plan to visit?
Asakusa? Shibuya?
Yes, these are good areas the visiters can easily access, and they are the most famous areas to visit in Tokyo.
But, do you know you can easily access the towns in Yokohama from Tokyo?
I am livinng in Yokohama city for about 20years and know some great spots where you can enjoy nightscape.
So I ‘ll show you some spots to enjoy night scape of Yokohama waterfront and Minatomirai area.
Please check and visit there!
How to get to Yokohama?
‘Yokohama Station’ is known as the 5th busiest staion, and a large number of passengers are getting on and off.
It’s within 30minutes from ‘Tokyo Staion’ by JR Tokaido line.
Next to Yokohama staion there is a famous JR staion called ‘Sakuragicho’.
It is known as the entrance for the Minatomirai area.
People living in Yokohama usually enjoy shopping around this area.
But, I want to recommend another area called ‘Minatomirai’ for your good trip.
How to get to Yokohama waterfront area?
To visit these area, you should change train at ‘Yokohama Staion’ to ‘Manatomirai-Line’.
There are only 6 stations in this line like below, ‘MM01’ to ‘MM06’ , but you can enjoy many beautiful spots around this line.
You can also go directly to these area from ‘Shibuya Station’ using ‘Tokyu-Toyoko -“TY”- line, because this line and ‘Minatomirai-Line’ mutualy get into.
Take an express train for ‘Motomachi-Chukagai’ station -MM06-.
Chinatown
The word ‘Chukagai’ means chinatown.
‘Yokohama China Town’ is the most famous chinatown in Japan.
The west gate of the chinatown is very near from Yokohama Studium.
Now let me introduce you three places with beautiful night views in these area.

Osanbashi is known as the big international passenger terminal.
You can get into this terminal to watch beautiful nightscape of ‘Minatomirai’ for free.
This is a nightshot taken at this terminal.

The first floor is an American restaurant, and the second floor is an Nordic restaurant.
