Tourism to the city of Yokohama is very easy. there are so many beautiful places

While visiting Japan's largest city, Tokyo, it is quick and easy to pay a visit to the country's second largest metropolis as well: Yokohama can be reached in less than 30 minutes by train from Tokyo, lying south of the capital. The main reason for visiting Yokohama is to marvel at its futuristic new city center, and perhaps take a stroll through Japan's largest Chinatown. Yokohama's Chinatown, entered through four colorful gates and teeming with restaurants and shops, was developed after the city became one of the first Japanese ports to be opened to foreign trade after generations of isolation ended in 1859. Chinese traders flocked to the city, establishing a cultural neighborhood. Minato Mirai is the new central city area around the harbor, characterized by the Landmark Tower, rising to 971ft (296m). Visitors can ride to the tower's observation deck in the world's second fastest elevator, traveling at 41ft (13m) a second, for a view that on a clear day stretches as far as Mount Fuji.
