Yokohama lifestyle

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

You can find 3.7 million residents (1.6M households) including 75,297 foreigners who live and operate in Yokohama, Japan’s second largest city.

What many individuals have no idea is always that Yokohama can also be the city of “firsts”. The 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 entered Yokohama.

The city’s proximity to Tokyo interests families. In fact, Japan’s efficient train service will have you at Yokohama station in less than 30 minutes from Shibuya and much more or less the same time 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.
