Port Description

Yokohama (Tokyo), Japan

Twelve million souls mingle where the future coexists with ancient past. Think cutting-edge Japanese businessmen shouting orders on cellphones outside the Tokyo Stock Exchange, while the careful carving of sashimi at the chaotic Tsukiji fish market represents centuries-old tradition. Cybercafes have cropped up alongside traditional tea ceremonies. Technological gurus stand in line with teen hipsters and temple priests for shiatsu massage, while raging karaoke bars draw in crowds to rival those taking in the costume and drama of a Kabuki play. Skyscrapers surround the moat of the Imperial Palace--this is a city that will never cease to surprise.
