Yokohama

Yokohama is within the greater Tokyo area, and is considered as Japan's second city. I see Yokohama as replacing Nagasaki, that we visited in "Japan's Window On The World". Nagasaki was Japan's primary port when the country was mostly closed to the outside world, the only port where selected foreigners were allowed to trade. Yokohama has become the primary port since the change in that policy.

Yokohama is also a popular brand of tires that is often seen in auto racing.

Many Chinese people came and opened businesses in Yokohama, and the result is an impressive Chinatown, in the downtown area near the docks.

Here is another area with a lot of stores, called Isezakicho. Built along a waterway, notice how similar this is to Dotonbori, in Osaka, but this is a shopping area, while Dotonbori is an entertainment district.
