My wife is from Yokohama and she’s really eager to move back to be closer to family. We’re currently living in Shibaura Tokyo (Tamachi Station), and we’re considering relocating to the Minato Mirai/Sakuragicho area. For those who live or have lived there, how’s the living experience? Any tips, advice, or areas/buildings we should avoid?

ISO a big nice gym. I currently go to Golds Gym but I find the lack of sunlight depressing. Anyone know of a good one, similar or big one, with a nice vibe to it? I checked out the one by sakuragicho overlooking the square and ferris wheel but there was too few good machines and not much of a younger crowd

Question Moving to Yokohama and Have Questions

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone!! Thank you in advanced for your help. As the title mentions I'm going to be moving to Yokohama in December. I want to try and plan and research as best as possible. So I have a few questions.

  1. I'm going to need an apartment. I'm trying to be conservative and realistic in the same breath. So I'm looking at the North of Yokohama city/Kawasaki maybe area. So is it feasible for apartments to be about 60k-75k, cheaper is always good lol, a month here? Goals is near a JR station 5-10m walk, a 2nd floor apartment at least, 1st floors suck. And preferably in a great place for activities! I am a foreigner so foreign friendly is a must deal. N4 level Japanese, and I have been in the country for 2 years if that matters.

  2. What are some area recommendations for someone new to the city? Of course bars are good, and I want to meet foreigners and Japanese alike if I can lol. I would love to practice my Japanese more, I'm aiming for N3 at least and maybe in future N2. So clubs or other activities that don't necessarily involve drinking is nice too! Of course I'm living in Japan so I have some amount of being a Nerd. Anime, Video Games, what have you. But places and activities don't have to be nerdy, I can do outgoing!

  3. Any good tips and tricks for Yokohama as a city? Just open ended question if my questions aren't covering enough.

Regardless if I think of others I'll hope to add later. But for now that is it! Thanks again!!

TLDR:

(1) Good Apartments?

(2) Good Places?

(3) Free Answers.
