When the muggy monsoon weather lifts, most of Japan gets steamy hot. Yokohama is no exception, but at least the city is waterside and benefits from offshore breezes. If you have time for a day-trip or even an overnight stay, to the west of the city lie cooler, greener elevations that also offer respite from the heat.
Many people, however, don’t mind the heat and flock to the beaches. Kanagawa thankfully has some great ones. In this issue, we offer a handful of suggestions for beachside entertainment. Firework festival season is also upon us, so check our calendar for those upcoming spectacles. Alternatively, follow us on social media for other tips on enjoying life in the city.
Our general recommendation, though, is just to get out and experience Yokohama, even if you’re a lifelong resident. As our motto goes: together we make this city an even better place.
