The city
Yokohama, the capital of Kanagawa and Japan’s second-most populous city, grew after its port opened to foreign trade in 1859. The waterfront includes Minato Mirai, with the Landmark Tower and the red-brick warehouses, and Yamashita Park, with the ship Hikawa Maru. Chinatown is just a few steps away, and the Yamate hill preserves Western-style houses. The Sankei-en garden, to the south, has historic buildings.
