The real place
Yokohama Chinatown grew up after the port opened to foreign trade in 1859 and is now the largest Chinatown in Japan, with hundreds of shops and restaurants inside its gates. The Zenrinmon on the main street was first built in 1955 and rebuilt in its present form in 1989.
Visiting
Visit the Kanteibyō temple to Guan Yu on Kanteibyo-dori, and come hungry for steamed pork buns from the street stalls. Around Lunar New Year the district holds parades and lion dances.
