Yokosuka

Japan

Yokohama suits travelers who like port culture, history, and food, not for those seeking urban buzz or shopping. Best time to go is April, when cherry blossoms are in bloom and crowds are light. Budget around ¥3000-5000 per person. Commuting between districts is quick, and the transit system is easy to use. Must-visit: Yokohama Port Future 21 and old neighborhoods near Yamashita Park. Skip the Red Brick Warehouses—too commercialized and lacking charm. Avoid buying souvenirs near attractions; prices are high.
