Moving to Yokohama

I’m excited.

I’m on a Business Manager visa and have a new office near Shin-Yokohama station, but I don’t know the area well since I usually work in Nagoya. I’m considering places to live and wondered if anyone from the area has advice. Others have mentioned Higashi-Kanagawa, Kannai, or even commuting down from Shinagawa. I’m mostly looking for a something close-ish to the office and convenient to Tokyo if I want to go. Do you guys know some good neighborhoods for me to check out?

Thank you!

  1. You may also want to try asking in /r/Tokyo.

  2. Where in Tokyo do you want to be convenient to? If you’re in the places you mentioned, you’ll be on the same train as Tokyo (although it’s the Keihin Tohoku-sen, which is an arguably slow train).

    If you live one stop away from Shiny Okohama, there’s a station called Kikuna (菊名) that’s one train from Shibuya, Shinjuku, and other “cool” places.
