Yokohama Chinatown is one of the most popular spots in Yokohama, Japan (less than an hour away from central Tokyo). Its history is about 150 years long.
Today only a few Chinese people still live in Chinatown, but it has a population of about 3,000 to 4,000. Most of the residents are from Guangzhou (Canton) but many come from other regions.
Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown not only in Japan but also in Asia (larger than Chinatowns in both Kobe and Nagasaki) and it is one of the largest in the world.
There are roughly 250 Chinese-owned/themed shops and restaurants scattered throughout the district, with the highest concentration centred on a 300 square meter area.
Chinatown can be reached by train, bus, sea-bus and car. The nearest train station is Motomachi-Chukagai on the Minatomirai Line, opened on February 1, 2004.
