Yokohama: the layover city Haneda was built next to

One direct train, 24 minutes, and you are on a harborfront that was designed for wandering. Here is how to size it to your window.

How much time do you have?

Half day: the harbor core

Minato Mirai's waterfront, Chinatown and the Red Brick Warehouse sit within one walkable arc from the station. No transit planning needed once you arrive.

Evening: night views and car culture

The harbor skyline at dusk is Yokohama's signature — Minato Mirai, the Red Brick Warehouse and the waterfront promenade are all within walking distance of each other.

Full day: add Kamakura

Temples, the Great Buddha and the Enoshima coast are directly south of Yokohama — a short JR ride from Yokohama Station, so plan the return leg with time to spare against your boarding time.

Always clear immigration timing with your airline first — you must be back through security with time to spare, and re-entry queues vary by hour. How early to be at security →
