Most information is free these days. Thank the internet for that. There are also free print publications like the Yokohama Seasider (though we offer free digital downloads on our website and on ISSUU). Usually, information is free because it’s being monetized somehow. We take ads, for example. On the internet, it’s similar but more complicated. What I’m concerned about, however, is the provenance of free information–who creates it and why. The information we provide is produced locally by people who call Yokohama home. By people who love Yokohama. We’re doing it so you can enjoy a better life here. Thanks for getting information from us. Please thank our sponsors for enabling us to do this!
