Yokohama lifestyle

iam group japan - What inspires feelings with regards to a city may be the people who constitute its community.

There are 3.Seven million residents (1.6M households) including 75,297 foreigners who live and work in Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city.

What many individuals have no idea is that Yokohama is also the city of “firsts”. The first ice cream, the initial soap, the initial English language newspaper (Japan Herald), the initial Japan’s daily newspaper including Japan’s first railway, all started in Yokohama.

The city’s close proximity to Tokyo appeals to families. In reality, Japan’s efficient train service may have you at Yokohama station within just Half an hour from Shibuya and much more or less once cruising the Shuto expressway on less congested hours.

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