Yokohama lifestyle

iam group limited - What inspires feelings about a city is the people who constitute its community.

There are 3.7 million residents (1.6M households) including 75,297 foreigners who live and are employed in Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city.

What many people do not know is the fact that Yokohama is also “firsts”. The initial frozen treats, the initial soap, the first English language newspaper (Japan Herald), the very first Japan’s daily newspaper including Japan’s first railway, all were only available in Yokohama.

The city’s close proximity to Tokyo interests families. Actually, Japan’s efficient train service may have you at Yokohama station in under 30 minutes from Shibuya and much more or less the same time frame cruising the Shuto expressway on less congested hours.

Following the city opened its ports around the globe 155 years back, the people’s acculturation to western ways explains what we should see today, from rich cuisine to beaux arts.
