Yokohama is Japan's second largest city and its embankment is one of a few Kanto spots (the region comprising Tokyo, Yokohama, Saitama and Chiba) where you can get to the Bay and not find yourself in an industrial port. In the 19th century, Yokohama was still a tiny village but in the 1950s, the landing of US troops drastically changed the landscape. Since then, its architecture is somewhat alien while museums and parks have much to showcase.
