Yokohama Chinatown


Site in Yokohama, a city neighboring Tokyo. One of the largest Chinatowns in the world, founded after Japan opened its ports and many Chinese as well as Western traders made their residences in Yokohama and other ports. The presence of such a large Chinatown clearly demonstrates that it was not only Westerners that made an impact on Japan after Japan opened its ports, but Chinese people were involved as well.
