Yokohama Chinatown

One of the most colorful and lively spots in Yokohama! Yokohama Chinatown is the biggest Chinatown in Japan, and it’s absolutely packed with amazing food, bright lanterns, and beautiful gates at every corner. Super easy to get to from Tokyo too—just around 40–50 minutes by train. There’s so much to explore here! The streets are filled with Chinese restaurants, snack stalls, dim sum shops, and souvenir stores. I recommend trying the pork buns, sesame balls, and soup dumplings—there are lines at some places, but they move fast and it’s totally worth it. Besides food, the area is just fun to walk around. It’s very photogenic, especially at night when the lights come on. There’s also a beautiful temple (Kanteibyo) right in the middle of it all that adds to the atmosphere. I went during the afternoon and stayed until evening—perfect timing to enjoy the shops and see everything light up. It can get busy, especially on weekends, but that’s part of the energy.

I was truly impressed by the sheer size of the place—it’s the largest Chinatown I’ve ever been to! What stood out even more was how clean and well-organized everything was. Despite it being a weekend, it wasn’t overly crowded, which made the visit even more enjoyable. The variety of food options was remarkable. If you’re looking for authentic Chinese cuisine, this is definitely the place to go. Beyond the food, there’s so much to explore and experience. It’s a vibrant, dynamic area that I’d highly recommend to anyone.

Definitely a tourist attraction but colourful and fun if sometimes a little repetitive. (Numerous restaurants selling exactly the same food for example.) Many fortune tellers, a few stores selling Chinese goods; booths selling bubble tea.

We had a great time exploring Yokohama Chinatown! The streets were full of life, the shops were colorful, and the atmosphere gave us that classic Chinatown feeling. So many places to eat, try snacks, and enjoy the vibe. It’s a fun and lively spot that’s definitely worth visiting if you’re in Yokohama!

I’ve been to many Chinatowns and I must say that Yokohama’s Chinatown is the most cleanest that I have visited. The Chinatown is not that large, just a couple of streets make up the proximity. However, what it lacks in size, it makes it up with value. The value of being able to try many assorted treats packed into a short distance. You can try the Chinese baos (steamed buns), dim sum and the delicious large fried chicken. Everything is reasonable priced about and around 500 yen. There are many fortune tellers here. I did not know that it was popular in Yokohama. You should try it out if you feel lucky too. Take the subway for an easy and stress free way to arrive and depart Chinatown. Highly recommend. Definitely will be back!

If you’re planning a trip to Chinatown, don’t expect to find anything groundbreaking as a tourist attraction. It’s more of a place to check off your bucket list and indulge in some delicious food. Now, the food scene here is absolutely fantastic! You’ll find a wide variety of cuisines to suit every taste bud. But, I must admit, I noticed that many shops and restaurants offer similar dishes. So, if you’re looking for something truly unique, you might want to explore a bit further.

A vibrant taste of China in the heart of Japan Yokohama Chinatown is a dazzling cultural and culinary destination that instantly transports you to another world. From the moment you step through the ornate gates, you’re greeted with a flurry of colors, aromas, and sounds. The streets are lined with red lanterns, bustling food stalls, and traditional architecture that makes every corner worth photographing. One of the biggest highlights is the food. Whether you’re in the mood for freshly steamed dim sum, juicy roast duck, or sweet sesame balls, there’s no shortage of delicious options. Street snacks are everywhere, and many shops offer affordable set menus for those wanting a full meal experience. Beyond the food, there are beautiful temples like the Kanteibyo and Mazu Miao, where you can witness intricate carvings and a serene atmosphere amidst the lively streets. Souvenir shops sell everything from lucky charms to panda-themed gifts, adding to the charm. While it can get crowded, especially on weekends, the energy is part of the appeal. It’s a great place for families, foodies, and photographers alike. If you’re looking for a fun, flavorful escape just outside Tokyo, Yokohama Chinatown delivers a rich experience full of color, history, and irresistible eats.

Visiting here at night is like stepping into a neon-lit movie set where every lantern glows with temptation and every menu board whispers “overpriced buns incoming.” What I loved: •Stunning illuminated gates and lanterns reflecting off the rain-soaked streets – pure Blade Runner aesthetic. •Endless alleyways filled with steamers, dumpling shops, roasted duck, and sizzling woks. •The buzz of people taking selfies, hunting for that perfect bao, or wandering in dumpling-induced bliss. What I didn’t love: Coming from Vancouver and having recently eaten in Hong Kong, these prices hit harder than a wasabi challenge. Most street foods were double what I’d expect in Hong Kong, and sit-down meals felt more like Tokyo dinner prices than Chinatown bargains. Still delicious, just… you’ll taste the price as much as the food. Pro tip: Go for the atmosphere, the night photography, and a snack or two rather than a full dinner if you’re watching your budget. If not, splurge and treat yourself to all the dumplings your wallet can endure – it’s a unique Japan take on Chinatown cuisine. An essential Yokohama experience for the sights, sounds, and smells alone. Just be ready to pay a little extra for the privilege of eating under such beautiful red lanterns.

Yokohama Chinatown is a reasonably nice representation of Chinese architecture, food, hospitality, culture, and tourism. I generally visit to purchase Chinese pastries as gifts or personal consumption. Note that I don't recommend Chinatown for food beyond the street vendors peddling fried treats and various other walk-away options such as dumplings, chicken, ice creams etc. When considering a sit-down meal I recommend Chinese restaurants in the surrounding areas because the local Chinese population doesn't dine in Chinatown. Chinatown is a tourist thing!

The largest Chinatown in Tokyo is Yokohama .Japan . Heading to Tokyo my friends and I decided to stop in Yokohama for the day . It was well worth it although Chinatown was very crowded of course. We ate a little dim sum and other snacks along the way . I'm not sure why but it could be all in my head but all the Chinatowns I been to in Japan is much more cleaner than the one back home and less smelly lol .

Many restaurants and some souvenir stores here across several major blocks. Good luck making up your mind what to eat when you literally have a hundred options! There are also some religious temples planted in there, something to see.

Yokohama has been international since 1860s. People from China and Taiwan settled here many years ago. No matter how bad the relationships between China and Japan are, we are neighbors. I visited the 2025 Lunar New Year week, I saw a lot of red decorations. No one gave me a red envelope.LOL. Anyway, you check the events on the Internet. There are tons of choices of food. I love shumai of Kiyoken. This Chinatown is so huge that you are lost. Please check the map. You need to make a game plan before you go because there are a lot of things to do!

Best Chinatown so clean and so much food! Stay away from any restaurants that have people outside trying to get you to come in! Their food suck!! All you can eat dimsum is terrible so stay clean from them

Yokohama's Chinatown has really nice restaurants, stores, hotels, and gates. I think that this Chinatown is significantly better than Chinatowns in many other cities. My husband and I walked around the many streets for hours. We ate lunch at a Chinese-Japanese restaurant, which served us tantanmen soup, sesame balls, wonton soup, and gyoza. The employees treated us very respectfully. At other restaurants, we ate a braised-pork bun and a fruit waffle. I wish that I had more space in my stomach so I could try even more foods. At a store, a painter painted a custom sign as a gift for our family members. Many other stores sold high-quality souvenirs. The gates--Genbu, Enpei, Suzuki, Choyo, and others--looked so ornate and beautiful. The only thing that I was not thrilled about was people who stared and took photos and videos of my husband and me near a few businesses.

The largest Chinatown in Japan-- I am glad I made a visit just to see how Chinatown is like and if you have extra time in your itinerary, I would say it's worthwhile. There are so many Palm reader shops (lol), and similar stores selling the same items (fried chicken/ fried squid). You can easily spend 1+ hour here just browsing the shops. While I didn't eat at a restaurant, I did eat at their food stands and was impressed by the fried chicken. It was probably one of the most memorable snacks in Japan just by price, taste, and overall portions. Boba was a miss- tasted different but it might have just been that stand. There were also plenty of gift shops. The only downside I would say is it is a bit difficult to get to in terms of public trains.

Chinatown / Yokohama -- Even though it's kind of a schlep from Minatomirai, the train station where most people disembark to access the commercial waterfront, it's still worth the effort to end your local excursion in Yokohama's Chinatown. As the largest of Japan's three Chinatowns with over 250 Chinese-owned businesses, it was definitely bustling with several blocks dedicated to pedestrian-only traffic (photo: https://yelp.to/ikrgALOa8X). While it was easy to find potentially delectable food, it wasn't easy to find a place to sit. We managed to buy a couple of Peking Duck Rolls but had to stand while we chomped on them. Majestic gates mark the entry points to the concentrated area like the Goodwill Gate (photo: https://yelp.to/c4fOcW73Dq). Truthfully it's not as charming as Kobe's Chinatown (review: https://yelp.to/RL5G9qIPjo), but you won't lack for food or souvenir selection. RELATED - Exploring Japan? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: https://bit.ly/2qrUBZo

Yokohama Chinatown is one of the best I have ever visited. It is a vibrant and colorful place. There are many, many food options and styles of restaurants. It is worth the trip from Tokyo.

Such a vibrant and beautiful part of Yokohama! This area is massive and we just got to see a small part of it. You could honestly dedicate an entire day to just Chinatown it's that huge. We explored at night, which I would recommend. Everything is lit up and it's a really beautiful and romantic walk around the area. There are so many different food options, and lots of cute little shops to explore. Our favorite food was these panda buns we stumbled upon. We got one chocolate and one strawberry. They were both so delicious! My favorite was strawberry, my husband's favorite was chocolate. Bathrooms are kind of difficult to find, as far as we could tell, businesses didn't have public restrooms in their shops. The only thing available was public park restrooms, and you need to find a map, or a person to help you find them, I didn't find google to be all that helpful here!

Came here as a day trip from Tokyo. It's a short walk from the Yokohama station. Look for the exit close to Chinatown. This place gets super busy by noon. A lot of the shops sell similar things. I was def craving a fried chicken stake and some milk tea along with some soup dumplings. It's very easy to find but I would suggest walking through and looking for the longest lines. The quality makes a difference and the lines are the biggest indicator. Go on an empty stomach if you want to try everything!

A street full of delicious street food and restaurants! A lot of places are cash only. We are a variety of dumplings, desserts, and tea. There's also a lot of tax-free gift shops along the street

Very cultural area with plenty of shops for souvenirs and restaurants. Lot of specialized cookies and cakes packages in nice boxes. Plenty of street vendrrs to buy small snacks to enjoy while walking around.

Visiting Chinatown is a must if you are in the city of Yokohama. It is actually the biggest Chinatown in Japan and was one of the best Chinatowns I have ever been to in the world. It is very clean and much cleaner than the Chinatowns in NYC. The only other one that I've been to that was so clean was the one in London. There are so many restaurants to choose from and you can find all regional cuisines here - Sichuan, Cantonese, Shanghainese, etc. You will find lots of food stalls if you just want something to go or large sit down restaurants. And besides the various picturesque entry gates around the borders of Chinatown, there are also several beautiful temples, making for some great photo ops.

Loved this place!! Yes, it gets crowded, but it's awesome! The temples are amazing and great shopping! Really fun day!

This is definitely one of the largest, if not the largest, Chinatowns in the World. It is definitely one of the cleanest and most beautiful as well. Size wise, it is much bigger than the Chinatown in San Francisco and NYC, which are probably the two largest in the US. As far as cleanliness and beauty are concerned, the only Chinatown that I've been to that can match up against Yokohama is London. There are literally numerous options for food - from street food vendors with lines that snake around the block to upscale restaurants that require reservations. For the best dim sum in Japan, be sure to check out Saiko Shinkan (see separate review). Another very popular dim sum option that is advertised in many places is hodai (放題) which is Japan's version of all you can eat. We wanted to get some top quality dim sum instead so we didn't try this option. Want to share the yumminess that you've experienced with your family and friends? There are numerous stores that sell delicious souvenirs for you to take home. The largest and also the most vibrant one is Yokohama Hakurankan. The storefront is so prominent and the crowd is so large that you can't miss it. It has the most extensive collection of everything that is yummy, gourmet, uniquely local, and certainly worthy of your precious luggage space. While some people complain about the lack of Chinese culture in a Chinatown, or that the cultural part of the experience is lost or buried by the multitude of eateries (and I sort of agree); it is, nevertheless, a foodie's heaven. Hence, a 5-star adventure from a complete foodie's perspective.

I have not been here since before the pandemic, but now it is more busy than before. There are so many dim sum restaurants along the street. The street is also very crowded. If you haven't been here before, you should visit.

We came here on the last trip with friends to eat dinner, but by the time we finished our meals and drinks, the area was more or less closing up for the night. On this trip, we made sure that we had the better part of the day to just walk the area leisurely. This plan worked out fine, as it took several hours to see this massive and diverse Chinatown. One of the first things you notice is how clean and somewhat orderly things are. Of course there are more Japanese folks and tourists walking in the area. Although we sampled several street food vendors, the names of the businesses were not easy to figure out, so I will just post the various things we saw and tried. For the most part, the street food was pretty much the same in regards to looks and prices. My rule of thumb is to look and see where the long lines are at... This works most of the time for us.

Chinatown wasn't initially on my checklist but I saw it on the map when I was loading directions for the Cup Noodle Museum. It was about a 20 minutes walk so I decided to check it out. It is supposedly the largest Chinatown in the world! I only walked through the main tourist streets that are lined up with restaurants and small shops. There were red lanterns down the whole street entrance gates like every other Chinatown I've been to and it reminded me of home.

Wow! Every time I come here, wow! Tons of people and Chinese restaurants. Lots of samples. My appetite explodes! Now so many all you can eat restaurants. About $20. Variety: Chinese restaurants, vendors food, sweets, kitchen wears, etc... Price: Cheap to expensive. Tip: You should try a massive Nikuman(Nike:meat/man:dumpling) $5-10. Not small ones $1. Big ones are better quality in this town.

So weird to think that while visiting Japan, going to the Yokohama Chinatown was one of the things on the list. The place is pretty big. Is it huge? Well, not really. But it's enough that you'll have things to do. You'll definitely see dim sum pretty much every 2 seconds and tons of people trying to advertise their restaurant or food stall. I have no idea what the quality of all the food places are here, but the one I went to ended up being good (thankfully). There are a couple souvenir type shops around where you can find some cute items. They also sell boxes of snacks and stuff that you could use as a gift to someone (or to yourself). Overall it's clean with plenty of picture opportunities and food so it's a solid location.

My first time in Yokohama's Chinatown wasn't the best experience. We ended up going to a lacklustre restaurant for some overly priced dimsum and well, in comparison to what I'm used to in Canada, I had to say it wasn't a comparison. 2 out of 5. I can't remember if the restaurant is still there, as that was over 20 years ago. Not too long ago, just before the soft pandemic hourly reductions (like a week ago) we happened to be there and in comparison to how it was before the pandemic, it was like a ghost town. Not to many people and if there were any, it was just the locals getting a lunch or shopping for food. We tried one place to get the char siu melon pan which was ok. The sound of it was more exciting than the actual dish. I did feel bad, as pretty much every restaurant we passed, staff would come out and try to beckon you in to dine in their business. I think the next time I'll be able to come here again will not be until after the pandemic is over. Too bad we couldn't really enjoy our pass through here, but it is one of the best Chinatown's i've ever seen and been to. Including San Franciso's.

Again, it's hard to write a review for touristy places b/c it's all biased on what a person is expecting and looking for. This time, after reading about Yokohoma's Chinatown, it really left me with an overall feeling of cheapness, gaudiness, loudness, and tiredness. If you are after that kind of experience of gold, red, loud, cheap deals, shopping, crowded, lanterns, etc then this is your place. Be aware of the price traps and touristy traps all around these alleys and the quality of the food you are tasting. Look above you though, the facade of this Chinatown is lovely and overall is a clean Chinatown compared to others that i've been around the world. The red lanterns and yellow lanterns above you and the peaks of Temples really make this a festive and awesome place place to see while you are traveling. Shops- lots of Chinese imports and Chinese baubles- be careful b/c many are cheap and shoddy in quality- and prices are super jacked up bc/ they know many people won't go past Japan after this trip and so they cash in on that lack of knowledge of Chinese goods. Think of cheap qi paos, buddhas, lucky coins, fortunes, shiny red and gold keychains, etc- all touristy traps- be careful. Food- unless it's made on the spot in front of you, DO NOT GO into the ones that offer you a set price and unlimited options for dim sum- the food is cheap in quality and often use scraps for meats and you'll wind up being sick if you eat the wrong dishes. Prices are also high for these sit down and order places- but they get at you b/c you are so overwhelmed by the colors and smells of the whole alley that you'll do anything to get off the streets at this point. A lot of random shops here that confuse me as well- there's a Peruvian store called Amina and some fusion Indian/African/South American indie store called Malaikka that also sell baubles from those areas and nations that are not really typical of your Japanese background. My overall impression of Chinatown is loud and unscrupulous businesses that are red and gold and noisy in every dimension (physical sound, mental sound, etc). If you like that immersion in sound and experience, then this is the place for you ,but I think your time is better spent in Japan exploring more authentic areas like Asukasa in Tokyo, Kobe, Kyoto, Nara, and Osaka if you want more down to earth vibes. Or if you want crazy, go to Shibuya or Shinjuku inTokyo for that experience. You come to Japan to see Japanese culture... not to be tricked into Chinatown and spend your money this way.

A must visit when you are in Tokyo! Lots of great food options to explore and makes for an excellent lunch destination as you explore the beautiful Yokohama.

I came here with my daughter on a Thursday afternoon. It wasn't necessarily on my places to visit list, but we decided to come here since we were already in the area (went to the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum, but still had to take the subway and Minato Mirai lines from Shin-Yokohama station to get here). This place was HUGE. It's supposedly the biggest in Japan as well as in Asia. There were several temples spread across, and we went inside one since my daughter was curious. Just beware that they charge for prayers, at least the one that we went to did (the woman there asked us if we wanted to do the incense and written oracle but didn't tell us that there was a charge until after we did it...1,000y total for the both of us). Although it was big, it mainly consisted of restaurants, small eateries/cafes, steamed bun shops, and souvenir shops, so everything started to look the same after a while. We did buy some souvenirs and steamed buns (yum), and visited the Baby Star Land inside the Yokohama Hakurankan. I think my daughter enjoyed Baby Star Land the most. I noticed that it got considerably crowded towards dinner time so I guess it's more popular as a place to eat rather than shop.

Yokohama Chinatown, a.k.a. Yokohama Chūkagai, is cheesy and overrated and over-the-top all around. That's what makes it Chūkagai. Don't come expecting anything like Chinatown in Toronto or San Francisco or Sydney and you (perhaps) won't be disappointed. Do be careful about what restaurant(s) you choose and avoid the chestnut vendors since their M.O. is pushing you into buying overpriced, out-of-season chestnuts. (But be nice! They're people too.) But otherwise, just enjoy the gaudiness of it all. PS It's better at night. PPS If you can time a visit for when there's a festival (parade!) or at least lion dancing going on, definitely do.

It was my third day in Japan and my friend had planned a day trip to Yokohama to explore Chinatown and nearby attractions. Out of all the days we spent in Japan, that Sunday was beautiful and we experienced some warmth and sunlight! The streets were busy and full of families, given it was Sunday and the weather was spectacular. Upon arrival, we picked up some sweet red bean buns for snacks and noticed that the entrance gates were under construction. Such a bummer, but we were able to take some nice pictures in front of a temple and the entrance to the popular alleyway packed with restaurants and shops. We had lunch at a two-story Taiwanese restaurant through some random alley. Wish I could offer more information, but we were won over by their incredible lunch specials. Appetizer and dessert included for less than 1000 yen?! It was the best offer we saw after walking and browsing through several lunch deals. After lunch, we continued exploring the streets and then hopped over to Red Brick Warehouse for some more sightseeing and shopping. Chinatown was definitely interesting and there were plenty of street vendors - dumplings, roasted chestnuts, boba and other desserts. It's just a nice place to hang out and shop.

This place is sooo big. TONS of food stands and restaurants, especially all-you-can-eat places. I do hate that people stand outside and try to lure you in to their restaurants... But other than that it was really cool! There were some shops too. I feel like I could go here quite a few times and see something different each time.

Ahh.. welcome to Yokohama Chinatown! In Japanese, you say it Yokohama Chuukagai (横浜中華街). It's a lot different than Chinatown here in Las Vegas! ;) There are a lot of street vendors and shops that sell all kinds of delicious snacks here and of course, lots of Chinese foods. Pretty cool to visit if you've never been to Yokohama before. It doesn't take too much time to see everything, so if you want to do some other things, you can catch the Yokohama DeNA Baystars at the nearby Yokohama stadium, or go shopping at the nice Motomachi street. Also during October, there is the Octoberfest around the Red Brick Warehouse that is also nearby. And during winter months, you can go outdoor ice skating. If this is your first time trying to get to Chinatown, once you get to Yokohama station, take the Minato Mirai train to Chuukagai station. It's like three stops over.

This is by far the most beautiful Chinatown I have been to. Very much reminds me of the Taiwan night markets offering various cheap street food items, small specialty shops, and large restaurant menu signs along the street. The street is decorated with beautiful lights and lanterns. The restauranteurs stand outside hollering to get you into the restaurant, and every place has the best dim sum, the best seafood, etc. This place is a few blocks long so it's a nice walk after dinner to make your way to walk along the pier. This is a must visit in Yokohama!

Not worth the trip. Every other store sells Cha Shu Bao or Some type of food for double or triple the regular price. People from restaurants pester you everywhere you go. Hard to enjoy your time there.

A nice place to walk around and find some good food and do a little shopping. Very easy to get to and makes for a nice side trip outside Tokyo. Like everything it Japan, it is pretty clean and well lit. Check shop times as I noticed a lot of places seem to closing up around early, around 9ish, as we headed back to the train station.

A large Chinatown and for a Chinatown cleaner than any others I've visited in any other place (Honolulu, San Francisco, LA, etc...) lots of interesting shops and restaurants, a good place to visit if you have the time.

The only definitive thing I can say about the Yokohama Chinatown is that it's the cleanest Chinatown I've ever been to. It's not the biggest, nor the most "Chinese" Chinatown I've ever been to though... And that last bit kind of a let down for me. If not for Google maps and the entrance gates proclaiming that it is, in fact, Chinatown, I'd wager I probably wouldn't even know. Yes, the main street has dim sum places lined up one after the other, but it's all very reminiscent of a Disneyland Chinatown or one built for an amusement park. Even venturing off the main drag, I struggle to find anything particularly authentic. Yes, there are Chinese people here, and yes they serve real Chinese food, but there's nothing authentic about it. It all seems to be played to Japanese perceptions. This isn't to say that it's a horrible place, because it's definitely not. I love going to the all you can eat places on the weekends and buying my shrimp chips here... But where are the bakeries where I can buy my almond cookies and jin deui? They weren't even selling gau for the new year! (If anyone knows the secrets of this Chinatown, let me know because I haven't found them...) Overall, it's a good place to visit and take visiting friends and family. There are a lot of shops selling food and goods that may interest you. ...If you can get past the chestnut sellers on every corner.

Stopped by Chinatown for lunch before the Baystars game. I've been to Chinatown in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, DC and Honolulu. This is by far the cleanest and safest. Ideal location to eat before or after the game. Just a few blocks away from Yokohama Stadium. Lots of food options available. Street food, dine in or buffet. We ended up in China Square eating at Travesso Grill Brazilian Restaurant. Will review separately. I also had room for 1 steamed bun. Looking forward to visiting here again.

Beware of the restaurants that serves set meals. If they know you're a gaijin, this Chinese will rip you off. They'll charged you more. I will never be back to this Chinatown. Never.

5 stars because the streets are soo clean and the buildings are pretty unlike most chinatowns I've been to. 3 stars because there isnt much variety of actual chinese foods. Mostly buns. However the buns taste pretty good. My favorite is the pan-fried bun, but its not cheap around $9 for 6 small buns.

I was excited to come here upon learning it was the largest Chinatown in Japan. To be honest, I was a little underwhelmed. It's fairly similar to any other Chinatown that I've been to (excluding DC, which has a very sad Chinatown). The restaurants are either very high end, or incredibly low end. I don't remember what restaurant we went into, but it was a lot more expensive than I thought it'd be, but maybe Chinese food in Japan is just a lot more expensive than in the US.

Well I was very happy to visit Yokohama Chinatown because I got see my friends and enjoy some delicious food. I will be back to Japan I'm soon and I'm sorry this place will be one of my stops. See you soon Isuzu!

Nice bustling area, welcome to the biggest Chinatown in Japan! has a couple of main roads, you can easily see on the maps around the area. Don't forget to checkout the Chinese Temple, it's pretty unique! price of restaurants tends to be high compared to other Chinatowns around the World, it's a very touristic area afer all, enjoy!

This is a beautiful neighborhood to visit. Although I was visiting Japan for the first time, I loved the vibrancy of this beautiful street full of shops, dumplings, and fish doctors! Ok, if you haven't done this before, you really ought to try it at least once. Doctor fish are mini-carps that eat the dead skin off your feet. Yes, super gross. Also, super tickley. But this is a hoot to do with family and friends. You will get an ab workout from laughing so much. I recommend visiting this street at night. We came twice--once during day and the other at night. The lamps are so beautiful at night and make for an enchanting experience: exactly what I was expecting.

The cleanest and one of the biggest in the world, So many people with so many Restaurants and shops to choose from, one of the must see destination in Yokohama, Japan.

Apparently one of the biggest Chinatowns in the world, but it might as well be a couple of square meters on repeat. Everything here is about food. And did I mention food? There's litterary one restaurant in every doorway and they all suffer from something that is rather serious: high prices. Coming from Tokyo for a couple of hours this is somewhat disappointing. What went wrong? Why does a meal here that costs under 1000 jpn cost more than the double compared to Tokyo? Beats me. It's a tourist trap that long ago lost its chinatown charm. And it's sad.

The largest Chinatown in Japan! I had a great time here wandering around with my friends. There is a lot to see and EAT! We found some great soup dumplings for a decent price and there are snacks all around to fill your tummy. There are also lots of stores if you want to buy some random souvenirs, but it's more fun to just wander around and take pictures of the area.

Dank ass neighborhood with a bunch of yummy options. Love all the hustle in the atmosphere and try some Japanese fusion Chinese food while you're here!

Really like this area of Yokohama. Pretty heavy on the restaurants, and not a lot of anything else, but still a great place to walk around.

This is the biggest chinatown near Tokyo. There are many delicious chinese restaurants. So you may not able to decide which restaurant to choose. It often happens here. So if you don't have much time, you had better check 2 or 3 restaurants. Famous restaurants are usually full of people. So some choices are important. Also there are many expensive restaurants, so it is important to check some restaurants in advance. As there are too many shops, you can't enjoy this completely in one day. So just enjoy yourself without any sense of hesitation!!!

We took the Tokaido train at Shinagawa station to Yokohama. At the Yokohama station we boarded a local train at platform 3 to reach the Ishikawacho station where the landmark Yokohama Chinatown is located. We walked past a gate at the western end along Nishi-mon Dori and proceeded northeastwards via Chukchi-Odori (a pedestrian only street ) to the center of Chinatown. Virtually the entire street was teeming with competing Chinese restaurants. It appears the main appeal of this sightseeing attraction is the concentration of authentic Chinese eateries. We finally settled on a steam soup dumpling place where we spotted a long line waiting to order take out. A great choice for they were freshly made and very tasty. We also ordered a sesame jin dui (a sweet sesame seeds covered fried dessert with red bean filling). There was a long queue. We just ate them on the street. Nothing Afterwards we walked northwestward towards the Osanbashi Yokohama Cruise Ship Passenger Terminal. From there we walked to the Kannai station adjacent to the Yokohama Stadium.
