Yokohama is positioning itself as Japan's premier seaport destination

[Tripatini]

• 190 cruise ships to dock in Yokohama in 2019
• New Shinko Pier with its five-star Yokohama Grand-operated hotel to open November 2019 
• Bay Bridge Skywalk to reopen during large ship dockings 
• APA Hotel & Resort Yokohama Bay Tower to open September 20, 2019 as the largest single-building hotel in Japan
• Minato Mirai, "the port of the future," features new and beloved family-friendly museums and attractions, including the pop-up Unko (Poop) Museum to open March 15, 2019

Yokohama, with a population of 3.7 million, is the second largest city in Japan after Tokyo, but this is often overlooked due to its proximity to Tokyo.  In fact, when people quote the population of Tokyo at 38 million, they are actually talking about "Greater Metropolitan Tokyo," which includes Yokohama! Yokohama itself has so much to offer, with so much going on, especially as a cruise hub, because so many Japan cruises start and end there.
