Yokohama ( 横浜市 , Yokohama-shi ) ( listen ), officially the City of Yokohama , is the second largest city in Japan by population after Tokyo , and most populous municipality of Japan . It is the capital city of Kanagawa Prefecture . It lies on Tokyo Bay , south of Tokyo, in the Kantō region of the main island of Honshu . It is a major commercial hub of the Greater Tokyo Area .
Yokohama's population of 3.7 million makes it Japan's largest incorporated city . Yokohama developed rapidly as Japan's prominent port city following the end of Japan's relative isolation in the mid-19th century, and is today one of its major ports along with Kobe , Osaka , Nagoya , Hakata , Tokyo, and Chiba .
Yokohama was a small fishing village up to the end of the feudal Edo period , when Japan held a policy of national seclusion , having little contact with foreigners. A major turning point in Japanese history happened in 1853–54, when Commodore Matthew Perry arrived just south of Yokohama with a fleet of American warships, demanding that Japan open several ports for commerce, and the Tokugawa shogunate agreed by signing the Treaty of Peace and Amity .
