I will be moving to Yakohama-Shi next week ( I'm a bit nervous ) and I'm curious is anyone may be able to answer a few questions I have, or any information one considers relevant would be greatly appreciated ( cheap places to eat etc) !
In particular I was wondering about places to go out, particularly establishments that have jazz music, and I was also wondering about places to exercise in Yokohama-Shi as well.
Thanks !!

(it's a suburb of Yakohama so any info on Yakohoma is appreciated as well)

Is this a typo or is there really a Yakohama in Japan? If so, where is it? Just curious.

The spelling was wrong, I apologize. I was first given the name over the phone, and I believe I must have copied it down wrong! I realized I had spelled Yokohama wrong insofar as I received a copy of my address�with the correct spelling.

Welli it`s a big place but the downtown is fairly walkable. You can just look around. Lots of American places if needed. There`s a place near the train station-same building as a record store-sorry it`s been a few years-I think it`s Asian Kitchen or something similar. Good variety of Asian food. There`s a big mall a few stops from the main train station with an amusement park. Don` t let the crowds worry you-piece of cake.

Aaaahhhh, I thought there was something amiss. "It's a big place" - nomadder's understatement of the week! It's big enough that you should find everything you could possibly need and more besides. Unfortunately, I have not been there and so cannot give you any more info besides reiterating that, yep, it's big

Thanks again everyone!

for jazz there is the Windjammer. It is located in Chinatown.
Yokohama`s Chinatown is the largest in the world.
