What and Where is Yokohama (also climate)
The city of Yokohama is in Japan. It is the second largest city in Japan by population (Tokyo is the first). It has a population of 3.7 million people, which makes it Japan's larges incorporated city. Yokohama rapidly became Japan's prominent port city following the end of Japan's isolation around the mid-19th century. Yokohama is still a major port city today, along side others such as Osaka, Tokyo Kobe, and others.
Yokohama is located on the center of Japan, as well it's along the coastline of Japan's Pacific Ocean, but more specifically lies on Tokyo Bay, south of Tokyo in the Kantō region of the main island of Honshu in Japan. Japan it self is a small country, and lies both on the northern and eastern hemisphere, and it is position off the eastern coast of Asia (also east of the Korean Peninsula). Japan isn't surrounded by a lot of land, but is bordered by bodies of water such as the Sea of Japan or East Sea, Philippine Sea, Sea of Okhotsk, East China Sea, and the North Pacific Ocean. On average, the temperature of Yokohama is 6 degrees centigrade, with pleasant weather during the spring and autumn seasons, high humidity and high temperature during summer, and a mild climate with less slow in the winter. How to get to YokohamaFrom here (The United States of America) you must take some sort of fly vehicle to fly over to Japan, an airplane, jet, etc. There are no airports in Yokohama, so you'll have to go to one in Tokyo, Shimada, Omitama, Izu Oshima, or Atsugi, then with the use of a car, bus, tax, boat or train (or walking, if you want a challenge) you'll get to the wondrous city of Yokohama.
Lets have a blast from the past of YokohamaYokohama dates back to the 11th century (according to documents). This city was just a small fishing village up to the end o the feudal Edo period, when Japan held a policy of national seclusion, only have such small contact from foreigners. Then in 1853-54 Commodore Matthew Perry arrived just south of Yokohama with a fleet of American warships, they demanded Japan to open several ports for commerce, and they agreed, that's when foreign contact started to grow.
