Yokohama Motomachi Shopping Street

By @isaacdelperal

An elegant, European-style pedestrian street that was historically the first place in Japan to sell Western goods and fashion.

Address: 1-chōme-8 Motomachi, Naka Ward, Yokohama, Kanagawa 231-0861, Japan

  • Why go

    To enjoy a sophisticated, high-end shopping experience that feels more like a chic European village than a busy Japanese city center.

  • Known for

    "Motomachi Brands” with high-quality local labels like Kitamura (handbags) and Star Jewelry that originated right on this street.

  • Vibe

    Sophisticated. Classic. Fashionable.

  • Tips

    The street is famously pet-friendly; many shops allow dogs inside, and you’ll find "dog bars" (water stations) dotted along the sidewalk.
