A tree-lined, five-block boutique street bridging Chinatown and the historic Yamate bluff, Motomachi has been Yokohama's arbiter of understated, Western-influenced fashion since the 1970s 'hama-tora' style movement. Its 230-plus independent shops, cafes, and European-style facades offer a noticeably calmer, more residential pace than the crowds a few blocks away.
