Orientation, Arrival and Getting Around
With the harbour bounding its east side, hills to the south and a couple of useful landmark towers, Yokohama is an easy enough place to get your bearings. On the north side of town, Yokohama Station functions as the city's main transport hub, offering train, subway, bus and even ferry connections, and featuring several gargantuan department stores. From here the JR Negishi line, part of the Keihin-Tohoku line, runs south through central Yokohama, passing the majority of sights and tourist facilities which lie scattered between the train tracks and the harbour. Kannai , two stops down the line, is the traditional downtown area and a focus for banks and prefectural offices.
