Yokohama, rich in gourmet cuisine, fashion, amusements and culture of every kind. Brimming over with liveliness is the city's Chinatown, transformed many years ago by the Chinese people that came, together with Westerners, to seek trade in Japan. Yokohama's character as an innovative port city of Japan where past and present co-exist is summed up in the Minato Mirai 21 area, which overlooks the Yokohama Bay. It features one of the world's largest ferris wheels, a cluster of skyscrapers that includes the Landmark Tower, and history-rich buildings such as the red brick warehouses that have been reborn as commercial facilities. It is also within easy reach of the present capital, Tokyo, and the ancient capital of Kamakura, home to the Great Buddha statue and a wealth of historical landmarks.
