Yokohama Chinatown
Worth ItOne of the largest, oldest Chinatowns in Asia — a fantastic, if pricier, street-food stop that pairs perfectly with a Yokohama harbor walk.
“It stands as one of the largest and oldest Chinatowns in Asia, making it a fantastic historical stop during a visit to Yokohama.”
Best for
- Street food snacking combined with a harbor walk
Why Milo likes it
- Vibrant district with ornate Chinese-style gates and authentic decor, historically significant
- The frozen glazed grapes and strawberries (tanghulu) were a genuine highlight — fresh, crunchy, perfectly glazed
- Freshly roasted chestnuts made for a great snack
Know before you go
- Smaller and more compact than San Francisco or NYC’s Chinatowns, though similarly set up
- The famous giant meat buns (nikuman) were massive but only average in flavor compared to the hype
- Prices run higher than other areas due to heavy tourism
