Many shops here and well organised to walk around. Shops selling Chinese products and a lot of eateries serving Chinese and Japanese food. You can try the dumplings, buns and tea or coffee. Definitely crowded but many places to take a rest. There are at least two temples if you are interested to visit.

always a good time in chinatown. there's so much to do and fireworks at many times of year. you can't go wrong with the pork buns scattered around the street and sometimes the places with the longest lines aren't even the best. you really can eat almost anywhere here... I've never been disappointed. there's a cute coffee shop I detailed on my instagram on a side street... this whole town is just charming. don't miss Pennys diner on the way home too... grab a burger!

The best china town I have been to. No nasty smells and the people are friendly. The establishments are small and warm. Good shopping with some interesting finds here. Go at night to see the lanterns lit which is beautiful.

I've been to China Town in San Fran, New York, LA, and a number of other cities. So, when my wife and I decided to visit Japan's China Town, in Yokohama, we just knew we were in for a real treat. Ha.
The hardest thing for us, was trying to find a good (Chinese) place to eat. Expecting to eat really good authentic Chinese food? Well, make sure you check everything out thoroughly, don't just jump in one of those eatery's because the plastic food looks so appealing. And remember this, just because it's priced higher doesn't mean it will tatse better. Just saying.
Needless to say, we were a bit let down at this Chinatown, and especially the food. Good luck!

Absolutely amazing area! The wife and I took the train in from Tokyo and headed straight here to explore.
There are many Chinese restaurants to sample almost anything you can think of as far as cuisine goes. The attached picture is of a selection of dumplings we purchased from a street cart. Very busy streets even though we were there early in the morning.
A pleasant day trip and lots to see, a definite must!

Food was very good. Shops were mostly clothes, shoes and perfume. The streets do get crowded. I did not find anyone that spoke english but menus had pictures and some were translated. Excellent temple was there. They have guides and allow pictures which many temples do not. Easy ride from Tokyo on train. Walk was maybe 10 minutes from station.

A lot of Chinese restaurant from snack to proper meal. Price were reasonable and tasty. I did not expected that wide area. Very handy from both JR and subway station. Easy to get to the Chinatown as lots of indication along the way.

I visited Yokohama Chinatown with some friends during my recent business trip to Japan. To our disappointment, it didn't live up to our expectations as it's supposed to be the biggest Chinatown in Japan. There are a lot of Chinese restaurants selling Xiao Long Bao and fortune-telling parlours. We had expected to find many shops selling knick-knacks and souvenirs but didn't come across that many. Would be a good place to visit if you wanted to try Chinese food in Japan. I didn't try any so I couldn't tell you of it was authentic.

私達、現在60歳以上の鎌倉、逗子、葉山で育った、子供時代の我々の多くは、何かと言えば、家族でご飯を食べに行くのは、南京街(ナンキンマチ)でした。
同發さんや、重慶飯店さんが、我々の頭に楽しい思い出として残っていていますが、何時から、中華街になってしまったのか?
北京は、中国本土の首都ですが、南京街って、本土では何処だったんですかね?
それとも、台湾系の方々が、多いから、南京街って台湾の事なんですかね?
田中角栄さんが、中共と仲良くした頃に、中華街に変わったんですかね?
なぜ、ナンキンマチでは、いけないのでしょうか?

I assume till late at night, we stayed for dinner and nearly everything was open at around 9pm. It didn't look like anything was going to close because they wanted the tourist traffic to stop in and shop

Can they speak mandarin or Cantonese?

First of all they speak Japanese because most of the people are/were born in Japan. However there are some employees at the restaurants and shops who speak Chinese. I've heard Mandarin once but giving that most are immigrants from long ago they must speak Hakka and other dialects from the regions they came from. There is a Chinese school in Yokohama so they must have learned Mandarin at school at least.

I was looking the Yokohama Chinatown website (at the access page) and all of the rail line maps are in Japanese. Can anyone tell me what lines I should take to get to Chinatown FROM the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum and then how to get back to Shinagawa after that? Appreciate it! :)

When you get to Japan you will find Subway maps in English. it would be nice if you learned a little of the language before departure. Words like "Map" CHIZU - learn how to say please and thank you needless to say go a long way in any country. Please give me: O-Ne-Gai-Shi-masu. It's a bit scary getting around if this is your first time going in and out of the train stations, but you can do it with a good dictionary be it a paper or electronic type and a little knowledge of the language. If you have the time try and learn HIRIGANA AND KATAKAN, this will save you because much of what you read in HRIGANA can be easily translated with an electronic dictionary. They use to be very expensive, but you can buy yourself a Cannon Word Tank for less than a $100 dollars now or less on Ebay. Carry a backpack with pencil and paper, your dictionary and "Toilet Paper." So much for the lecture, if you don't have time to learn a little Japanese you should still be fine because most all the train stations have the name of the station in ROMANJI - Romanized letters (English of sorts) Hirigana and Kanji.
To try and answer your question a little better there are two or three Rail Road lines going in and out of Yokoham station and they should be labeled in English as to the direction back to Tokyo. There is a Local train that stops at all the stations from Yokohama to Tokyo and then there are more direct lines that are faster and make only a few stops along the way. The TOHOKU line is the local line and if you get hold of a map it will be in BLUE, if you get on the faster train the TOKAIDO line going to Tokyo it's GOLD in color. Both trains will stop at Shingawa station (6 stops before) just before you get to Tokyo.
I hope this will be of some help to you. Don't just walk up to the station workers and ask for a map, they may shake their head at you. Chi-zu O-Ne-Gai-Shi-masu will get you a map with a smile.
Best of luck to you and enjoy Japan. It's a beautiful country.
