Facts & Figures

Yokohama is the capital of the Kanagawa Prefecture. It is with a population of more than 3 million the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo. Yokohama´s port was and is one of the main economic drivers of the city. In 1859 during the Edo period (1603 - 1868) the port was one of the first in the country (besides Hakkodate, Niigata, Nagasaki and Kobe) to be open for foreign trade. It marked the end of the long self-isolation of Japan. Experience the Ultimate Japanese Hospitality at a Hotel in Yokohama.
