While many share houses in Yokohama are larger, renovated offices or corporate dorms, there are also many that fit the city's image, such as uniquely renovated private homes or old mansions. Following the arrival of Commodore Perry's "Black Ships," the port was opened to foreign trade, leading to the creation of foreign settlements. This resulted in many Western-style buildings, creating a wonderful, exotic townscape filled with stylish shops.
The hilly terrain has created famous tourist spots, such as the panoramic views from Harbor View Park and the Yokohama Foreign General Cemetery, as well as the Minato Mirai 21 area and the Yokohama Bay Bridge. Beyond Chinatown, the area is also a gourmet destination with many stylish shops and authentic bars.
Yokohama Station is served by a vast number of railway lines, including the JR Keihin-Tohoku, Yokosuka, Yokohama, and Tokaido lines, as well as the Keikyu Corporation, Sagami Railway, Yokohama Municipal Subway, and the Tokyu Toyoko Line, which offers through-service.
Many people who commute to Tokyo live here, and on weekends, you can enjoy the local area like a tourist. Why not enjoy the best of Yokohama by living in a share house?♪
