Welcome to Yokohama
Yokohama stands as one of Japan’s leading destinations for the hosting of international conferences and events. According to official data published by the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), the city consistently ranks among the top locations nationwide in terms of the number of international congresses held each year.
In 2024, Yokohama ranked fourth among Japanese cities for international conferences, with over one hundred events recorded, demonstrating its well-established track record in welcoming delegates from across the globe.
A key factor for congress participants is the high standard of the city’s facilities. PACIFICO Yokohama, the city’s principal convention complex, is among the largest and most advanced convention centers in Japan and throughout Asia.
The venue offers a comprehensive range of auditoriums, conference rooms, and exhibition spaces designed to accommodate large-scale international events. The complex is located within Minato Mirai, a modern and well-planned urban district specifically developed to host international events.
Accessibility represents a further strategic advantage for international attendees. Yokohama is located only a short distance from Haneda International Airport and is also well connected to Narita International Airport.
Japan’s transportation network, widely recognized for its punctuality, reliability, and efficiency, ensures convenient and straightforward access to the congress venue.
In addition, attending a congress in Yokohama offers the assurance of a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for international participants.
Beyond the congress program, delegates may enjoy waterfront areas, museums, historic districts, and a diverse culinary scene that blends Japanese tradition with global influences.
Finally, Yokohama provides a balance that is particularly valued by international delegates: the opportunity to participate in a high-level professional event in an attractive and inspiring setting, without the pressures often associated with heavily congested global capitals.
Yokohama’s proven experience, advanced infrastructure, strong international connectivity, and high quality of urban life position the city as a destination that significantly enhances the overall delegate experience.
