Yokohama hits different. It's a waterfront city just thirty minutes from Tokyo, but very much its own world. It's easygoing, free-swinging, even a bit decadent. Yokohama received Japan’s first foreign influences, and it started everything from Japanese jazz to the fashion of Plastic Love. At the same time, Yokohama is a throwback to an older Japan. Sleepy 1960s soda shops that simply couldn’t stay in business in Tokyo still thrive in Yokohama, as do the octogenarians who patronize them. And for the price of a capsule hotel in Tokyo, you can stay in a nice three-star place in Yokohama. ...
