Yokohama Chinatown

The Chinatown is a business street enclosed by 10 gates standing in different directions. Within a square site of 500 meters on each side, there are 620 stores, including 226 Chinese restaurants, which line the street (as of 2010). You can go to an authentic Chinese restaurant or walk around munching on roasted chestnuts or dim sum. In addition, you can have a taste of Chinese tea, served in Chinese tea sets, in a cafe or search for Asian-styled sundries and souvenirs at the numerous shops; there are many ways to enjoy yourself. There also are volunteer concierges who will not only take you to the stores but also teach you about Chinese history and the culture in the Chinatown. It is a one-minute walk from Motomachi-Chukagai (Chinatown) Station on the Minato Mirai Line, or a five-minute walk from the Ishikawacho Station or the Kannai Station on the JR Keihin-Tohoku Negishi Line. It is also accessible by a direct bus from the Narita Airport.
