Yokohama: Getting there and around

How to get from Tokyo to Yokohama

Tokyu Toyoko Line

About 25 minutes and 310 yen from Shibuya Station

The Toyoko Line connects Tokyo's Shibuya Station with Yokohama. Make sure to board a limited express or express train, as they are much faster than local trains, but cost the same. From Yokohama Station, trains continue to run on the Minato Mirai Line to Motomachi-Chukagai, offering convenient access to most of central Yokohama's sights. North of Shibuya, the trains continue to run along the Fukutoshin Subway Line. There are also branch lines to Meguro Station on the Yamanote Line and the Shin-Yokohama Line that connects to the shinkansen station of the same name.
JR Tokaido Line

About 25 minutes and 490 yen from Tokyo Station
About 20 minutes and 310 yen from Shinagawa Station

The Tokaido Line provides the fastest connection between Tokyo Station and Yokohama Station.
JR Yokosuka Line

About 30 minutes and 490 yen from Tokyo Station
About 20 minutes and 310 yen from Shinagawa Station

The Yokosuka Line is only slightly slower than the Tokaido Line. Northwest of Tokyo Station, the line is known as Sobu Line and provides direct connections to Chiba and Narita Airport.
JR Shonan Shinjuku Line

About 30 minutes and 580 yen from Shinjuku Station
About 20 minutes and 410 yen from Shibuya Station

The Shonan Shinjuku Line provides a direct connection between Yokohama and Shinjuku, Shibuya and Ikebukuro in central Tokyo and Saitama, Gunma and Tochigi prefectures north of Tokyo.
JR Keihin-Tohoku Line

About 40 minutes and 490 yen from Tokyo Station
About 30 minutes and 310 yen from Shinagawa Station

The Keihin-Tohoku Line is a slower, local connection between Tokyo and Yokohama. South of Yokohama Station, the line is known as Negishi Line and provides access to several sights in central and southern Yokohama.
Keikyu Main Line

About 20 minutes and 320 yen from Shinagawa Station

The Keikyu Railway connects Shinagawa with Yokohama and Haneda Airport. "Limited express" trains are the fastest.
JR Tokaido Shinkansen

About 15 minutes from Tokyo Station to Shin-Yokohama

All trains along the Tokaido Shinkansen stop at Shin-Yokohama Station. Shin-Yokohama is about 10-15 train minutes from Yokohama Station and Yokohama's city center by the JR Yokohama Line or subway.
From the Airport

The closest airports to Yokohama are Narita Airport and Haneda Airport. Please visit the respective airport pages for access details.

Above fees and schedules are subject to change. Be sure to check current yen exchange rates.

Yokohama is served by four railway companies (Japan Railways, Tokyu Railway, Keikyu Railway and Sagami Railway, better known as Sotetsu), two municipal subway lines and a bus network, which is operated partly by the city and partly by private bus companies.

The city has two major railway stations: Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama Station. Train lines of all four railway companies and the subway line pass through Yokohama Station, which is located in the city center. Shin-Yokohama Station, on the other hand, is located outside of the city center, about ten minutes from Yokohama Station by the JR Yokohama Line or the municipal subway. The shinkansen (bullet trains) stop at Shin-Yokohama Station.

Most parts of central Yokohama can be explored on foot. For example, it is very pleasant to walk from Minato Mirai along the waterfront to Yamashita Park, visiting Osanbashi Pier along the way, and then proceed from Yamashita Park to the nearby Yamate district or Chinatown.

For those who prefer not to walk long distances, there is the Akaikutsu Loop Bus which connects Sakuragicho Station with most sights of interest in central Yokohama, and the Bayside Blue Bus which runs between Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai and other sights in central Yokohama. Buses run every 30-40 minutes, and the fare is 220 yen per ride or 500 yen for a day pass which is also valid on other buses and the subway in central Yokohama.

Furthermore, it is also possible to travel by boat. The Sea Bass travels between Yokohama Bay Quarter (about 500 meters from Yokohama Station's east exit) and Yamashita Park 1-2 times per hour (20-35 minutes, 1000 yen one way). Most of the boats stop at Yokohama Hammerhead along the way (15 minutes, 700 yen one way from Yokohama Bay Quarter), and about half of them also serve the Red Brick Warehouses (15-25 minutes, 800 yen one way).

The Suica and Pasmo prepaid cards, as well as eight IC cards from other major cities of Japan, can be used on virtually all public trabsportation in Yokohama, including the Sea Bass.
