Getting to Yokohama Chinatown from Tokyo / Shibuya / Yokohama Station

Tokyo Station

From Tokyo Station, catching a train to Yokohama Chinatown will take you roughly 50 minutes. There are multiple routes you can take to get there, but we will focus on two routes; one without any transfers and one that takes you to the closest station to Chinatown.

Route 1

Let's begin with the route that doesn't have any transfers. This route does involve a bit of a walking from the station, so you should take this route if the weather is nice out.

From Tokyo Station, take the JR Keihin Tohoku / Negishi Line Rapid to Ishikawacho Station.

It's only a 15 minute walk from Ishikawachou station to Yokohama Chinatown.
When you get to Ishikawacho Station, head towards the North Exit (Chukagai Entrance) and continue to the left where you'll now see the "Seiyomon"(西陽門) gate. Go through the gate and go straight ahead. On the other side of the pedestrian crossing will be the West gate. If you keep on going you will hit Chinatown's entrance called “Zenrinmon” (善隣門).
