YOKOHAMA en flor

Welcome to Yokohama, always in bloom

Once known as the “Gateway of Flowers,” Yokohama Port introduced Japanese lilies and floral culture to the world. Today, this legacy lives on as the city embraces its role as the “Port of Flowers,” connecting people and cultures through the universal language of blossoms.

Just 25 minutes from Tokyo, Yokohama is Japan’s second-largest city—but it proudly maintains a character all its own. Centered on a scenic harbor and surrounded by green spaces, it blends urban vitality with nature and sustainability.

As Japan’s first port opened to the world, Yokohama has long been a crossroads of East and West. This spirit of international exchange still thrives in its culture, food, and people.

Now, as the host city of GREEN EXPO 2027, Yokohama is once again ready to welcome the world—inviting visitors to explore a greener future. Whether you arrive by cruise ship, train, or plane, Yokohama offers a journey rooted in history, blooming in the present, and growing toward tomorrow.
