Yokohama (横浜市 Yokohama-shi?) is the capital of Kanagawa Prefecture, located in the Kantō region of the main island of Honshū and is a major commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area.

Yokohama's population of 3.6 million makes it Japan's largest incorporated city and second most populous urban area after Tokyo.

Yokohama developed rapidly as Japan's prominent port city following the end of Japan's isolation in the late 19th century, and is today one of its major ports along with Kobe, Osaka, Nagoya, Hakata, Tokyo, and Chiba.

Yokohama is also one of the very few cities in Japan with a diverse multicultural population, although there has been an influx in immigration into Japan as a whole in recent years. As a result it has become a multicultural city with multicultural attractions including multicultural festivals and events.

Yokohama ( 横浜市, -shi) ist eine Großstadt und Verwaltungssitz der japanischen Präfektur Kanagawa sowie eine bedeutende Industrie- und Handelsstadt. Yokohama ist Teil des Ballungsgebiets von Tokio. Sie ist (nach Tokio) die zweitgrößte Stadt Japans.
