Questions luxury travelers ask about Yokohama

Where to stay
Book Minato Mirai, between Sakuragicho and Minatomirai stations, for a first trip to Yokohama. Bay-view four-stars there run $170 to $300 a night, and the harbour front, Aka Renga Soko and Chinatown are all a short walk or ride away. Kannai and Bashamichi business hotels at $85 to $130 are the value pick. Skip Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama.

Must-see
Sankei-en, the 1906 garden in Honmoku, is the one Yokohama sight you should not skip. A Kyoto pagoda, moved here in 1914, stands above a carp pond, and adult entry is 900 yen (about US$5.70). From there, walk the harbour from Osanbashi Pier to Yamashita Park and eat dinner in Chinatown.

Food culture
Yokohama eats like the port that imported everything first. The core is iekei ramen, born here in 1974, Chinatown's Cantonese kitchens, the Hotel New Grand's 1927 Western dishes, and Kiyoken's cold shiumai. Skip the all-you-can-eat touts in Chinatown, eat lunch near Yokohama Station or in Kannai, and spend the evening in Noge's counter bars.
