Yokohama Chinatown

横浜中華街

Yokohama Chinatown is a historic commercial district near Yokohama’s waterfront, marked by ornate gates and streets lined with Chinese restaurants, food shops, and specialty stores. The neighborhood developed after Yokohama Port opened in the nineteenth century and became a center of Chinese community life and food culture. Temples, seasonal celebrations, and varied regional cuisines reflect its layered history.
