Yokohama Travel Guide - Japan description

Yokohama lies on Tokyo Bay in the Kanto region and is the second most populated city in Japan after Tokyo. It's the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture and serves as a commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area. Yokohama is also known as the 'Gateway to Japan', which is mainly because it's one of Japan's principal ports. It's a fast growing city and the dominance of trade and industry is evident by the factories, piers, and warehouses that line the waterfront.
