Yokohama is not a very automobile-friendly place, especially for foreigners. Public transit and walking works best. The Naka Ward office (http://www.city.yokohama....) provides a map of Yokohama in English.
By ship
A "sea bus" (http://www.yokohama-cruis...) operates between JR Yokohama station east exit, Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park, and is one of the nicest ways to get around on a sunny day. The fare is ¥340-700 depending on the distance.

Velo taxis (http://www.velotaxi-yokoh...) are widely available within the harbor area, while rickshaws make their rounds within Chinatown.
On foot
Central Yokohama is comparatively compact and the Chinatown/Yamashita Park area is best explored on foot.
By bus
Akai Kutsu Bus is a sight seeing bus around Minatomirai, Chinatown and Motomachi. It runs every 20-30 minutes and looks like an old red bus. A ticket costs ¥100, and a 1 day pass costs ¥300
By train
The Minato Mirai 21 (http://www.city.yokohama....) subway line from Yokohama station down the harborfront to Chinatown is the best method of accessing the main tourist haunts. The main subway line is useful primarily for transfers between central Yokohama and the Shinkansen station. JR Negishi Line æ ¹å²¸ç· is also available for Chinatown and Minato Mirai Area. All Negishi Line Trains with the blue line are direct service via the Keihin-Tohoku Line. For suburban areas, Yokohama has a subway and extensive commuter rail lines that crisscross the city from every direction and to all neighboring cities.
