OUR HOME

Yokohama

Yokohama has grown as an international port city since its port opened to the world in 1859.

Throughout its history, the city has welcomed people, cultures, ideas, and technologies from around the world, creating a unique culture through the interaction of different values and traditions.

Today, Yokohama combines world-class convention facilities, a beautiful waterfront, historic districts, diverse cuisine, arts and entertainment, and convenient access to both central Tokyo and Haneda Airport.

As a Yokohama-based DMC, we connect our clients not only with the city's major attractions, but also with local people, communities, and experiences that are often difficult to access through conventional travel arrangements.

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO

Connecting People,
Cultures and Communities

Yokohama DMC was established in 2017, at a time when the concept of a Destination Management Company was still relatively unfamiliar in Japan.

Our company grew out of activities led by the Kannai-Kangai District Revitalization Council, one of Yokohama's largest community-based organizations.

Yokohama opened its port to the world in 1859 and has since developed as one of Japan's leading international port cities. From its earliest days, the city welcomed people, cultures, technologies, and ideas from overseas, incorporating them into Japanese society and creating new industries and ways of life.

Today, Yokohama is one of Japan's major tourism and MICE destinations. Yet internationally, I believe the city still has far greater potential to be discovered.

Located between Tokyo and Kamakura — two destinations already well known to international visitors — Yokohama has the potential to become much more than a place people simply pass through. It can become a destination in its own right.

Our mission is to turn that potential into meaningful experiences.

By connecting visitors with the people who live and work here — local communities, governments, businesses, hotels, restaurants, artists, and cultural professionals — we aim to create experiences that reveal the true character of Yokohama.

There is another reason why I believe Yokohama has an important role to play today.

Yokohama has always grown by accepting different cultures, values, and people. Rather than rejecting differences, the city has embraced them and created something new from them.

At a time when division and conflict are increasing in many parts of the world, I believe this spirit of openness and acceptance is more meaningful than ever.

We do not see tourism simply as an industry that brings people to a destination and generates economic activity.

Tourism also creates opportunities for people from different countries and cultures to meet, communicate, understand one another, and build relationships.

Together with our local partners, Yokohama DMC aims to contribute to the development of a city, a community, and a tourism destination that welcomes diversity and people from around the world.

Each encounter may be small, but we believe that countless exchanges between people can lead to greater mutual understanding.

Through tourism and international exchange, we hope to contribute, in our own way, to a more peaceful world.
