Yokohama lifestyle

iam group ltd japan - What inspires feelings in regards to a city is the people that make up its community.

You can find 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 always that Yokohama is also the city of “firsts”. The first frozen treats, the initial soap, the first English language newspaper (Japan Herald), the initial Japan’s daily newspaper including Japan’s first railway, all were only available in Yokohama.

The city’s closeness to Tokyo appeals to families. In fact, Japan’s efficient train service may have you at Yokohama station in less than Half an hour from Shibuya and much more or fewer the same time cruising the Shuto expressway on less congested hours.

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