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. International Sports Fest

News December 19, 2008 - Rooney sparks Yokohama excitement
Well, Manchester United's 5-3 win over Gamba hediye
Osaka was the kind of match worth flying halfway around the world for. A contest that, by the end, had you as open-mouthed in disbelief as the country that staged it, and within half an hour of full-time had seen Sir Alex Ferguson deliver a gem of a quote to rival any he's uttered during his 22-year tenure. Eight goals, a casual approach to defending and a cameo from Wayne Rooney that would have been just the tonic for a small band of hardy Brits in attendance. Whilst some of us have been acclimatising - culturally as well as physically - for three days, there were plenty of visiting supporters, and journalists, who touched down in Japan on the morning of the match.
