Review

Japan's largest Chinatown dates back to 1859, when the opening of Yokohama's port led to an influx of Chinese immigrants. While there aren't many Chinese people living there these days, the area is home to a huge array of shops and restaurants. It's best visited during the vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations, which usually take place from late January to early February.
