Living in Shin-Yokohama

A transport hub where the Shinkansen stops and an event- and business-centered neighborhood with Yokohama Arena and Nissan Stadium. The north is lively with offices and commercial facilities densely packed, while the south (Shinohara exit) is a quiet residential area with many hills, a completely different character. On concert and match days the area around the station gets very crowded, and the feel of shopping streets or cozy alleys is weak.

It is a transport hub served by four lines, including the Shinkansen, the JR Yokohama Line and private railway through lines. As a Shinkansen stop with Yokohama Arena and Nissan Stadium, demand from business and events is large. It is office-centered, so it is relatively quiet at night and there are few shops close to daily life. It is a redeveloped hub whose strengths are Shinkansen business trips and living close to work.
