Welcome to Y okohama Yokohama is a city of approximately 3.4 million people, the second largest city in Japan. In 1859, it was the first port to open in Japan, and since then it has continued development as a window open to international exchange. Today, Yokohama, an international port of great historical significance, is a modern city with high rise buildings, an industrial area that supports the development of Japan and rich green residential areas. It is also a city steeped in culture and natural beauty, with a vibrant multicultural population. Yokohama has forged friendships with 8 cities and 6 ports around the globe. As a Peace Messenger City, Yokohama continually strives for world peace. Yokohama also boasts a Secretariat for International Organizations, and holds a variety of international events and conferences; perhaps most notably the 2002 FIFA World Cup™will be held in Yokohama. “If you live here for three days, you become a Yokohama native! (Mikka sumeba hama-ko)” is the phrase that encapsulates the warm welcome that Yokohama extends to all people. We have prepared this booklet to introduce, among other things, a variety of administrative services and establishments, to help make non-Japanese residents lives in Yokohama as simple as possible. Please use it as an aid to your daily life. ■Yokohama Profile Population: 3,471,203 (2002/03/01); Registered non-Japanese population: 60,685 (2002/02/28) Land Area: 434.73 km2 Climate: Average yearly temperature 16.2˚C; Maximum 35.4˚C, Minimum -1.0˚C (2000) Municipal Government Establishment: April 1, 1889 Sister-Friendship Cities: San Diego (America); Lyon (France); Mumbai (India); Odessa (Ukraine); Vancouver (Canada); Manila (Philippines); Shanghai (China); Constantza (Romania).
