Yokohama lifestyle

iam group yokohama - What inspires feelings about a city is the individuals who make up 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 people do not know is the fact that Yokohama can be the city of “firsts”. The very first frozen treats, the very first soap, the very first English language newspaper (Japan Herald), the first Japan’s daily newspaper including Japan’s first railway, all started in Yokohama.

The city’s close proximity to Tokyo interests families. In fact, Japan’s efficient train service may have you at Yokohama station in less than Thirty minutes from Shibuya plus more or fewer the same time cruising the Shuto expressway on less congested hours.

Following 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.
