Why Yokohama

Since Japan opened its doors to the world, Yokohama has been the nation’s key entry point for international trade and communications, bringing global perspectives, new ideas and multi-culturalism. The port city has always been recognized for being open to business and to an exchange of expertise through international trade and conventions.

Fresh breezes and refreshing ideas are integral to Yokohama being the nation’s center for innovation in science and technology. Major universities, medical and scientific research centers based here will contribute to the success of global conferences.

Welcome to Japan’s First Port of Call.
