Yokohama lifestyle

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

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

What many people do not know is that Yokohama can be the city of “firsts”. The initial ice cream, the very first 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. Actually, Japan’s efficient train service may have you at Yokohama station in less than 30 minutes from Shibuya and much more or less the same time frame cruising the Shuto expressway on less congested hours.

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