The Tokyu Toyoko Line connects Tokyo's Shibuya Station with Yokohama. Make sure to board a limited express or express train, as they are much faster than local trains, but cost the same. From Yokohama Station, trains continue to run on the Minato Mirai Line to Motomachi-Chukagai, offering convenient access to most of central Yokohama's sights. North of Shibuya, the trains continue to run along the Fukutoshin Subway Line. There are also branch lines to Meguro Station on the Yamanote Line and the Shin-Yokohama Line that connects to the shinkansen station of the same name.
The Tokaido Line, Yokosuka Line and Keihin-Tohoku Line provide a connection from Tokyo Station, Shinagawa and the eastern half of the Yamanote Line. Among them, the Tokaido Line is the fastest, requiring as little as 15 minutes from Shinagawa to Yokohama. The Yokosuka Line is about 5 minutes slower, and the Keihin-Tohoku Line is about 15 minutes slower.
The Shonan-Shinjuku Line provides a connection from Shinjuku, Shibuya and the western half of the Yamanote Line, requiring 30 minutes from Shinjuku to Yokohama.
All Tokaido Shinkansen trains departing Tokyo Station stop at Shinagawa and Shin-Yokohama stations before continuing their journey westward. Unreserved seats cost half than reserved seats on this short section. Shin-Yokohama Station is about 10-15 train minutes from Yokohama Station and Yokohama's city center by the JR Yokohama Line or subway.

Getting around
Yokohama is served by four railway companies (Japan Railways, Tokyu Railway, Keikyu Railway and Sagami Railway, better known as Sotetsu), two municipal subway lines and a bus network, which is operated partly by the city and partly by private bus companies.
The city has two major railway stations: Yokohama Station and Shin-Yokohama Station. Train lines of all four railway companies and the subway line pass through Yokohama Station, which is located in the city center. Shin-Yokohama Station, on the other hand, is located outside of the city center, about ten minutes from Yokohama Station by the JR Yokohama Line or the municipal subway. The shinkansen (bullet trains) stop at Shin-Yokohama Station.
Most parts of central Yokohama can be explored on foot. For example, it is very pleasant to walk from Minato Mirai along the waterfront to Yamashita Park, visiting Osanbashi Pier along the way, and then proceed from Yamashita Park to the nearby Yamate district or Chinatown.
For those who prefer not to walk long distances, there is the Akaikutsu Loop Bus which connects Sakuragicho Station with most sights of interest in central Yokohama, and the Bayside Blue Bus which runs between Yokohama Station, Minato Mirai and other sights in central Yokohama. Buses run every 30-40 minutes, and the fare is 220 yen per ride or 600 yen for a day pass valid on all Yohokama City Buses.
Akaikutsu Loop Bus
Furthermore, it is also possible to travel by boat. The Sea Bass travels between Yokohama Bay Quarter (about 500 meters from Yokohama Station's east exit) and Yamashita Park 1-2 times per hour (20-35 minutes, 1000 yen one way). Most of the boats stop at Yokohama Hammerhead along the way (15 minutes, 700 yen one way from Yokohama Bay Quarter), and about half of them also serve the Red Brick Warehouses (15-25 minutes, 800 yen one way).
The Suica and Pasmo prepaid cards, as well as eight IC cards from other major cities of Japan, can be used on virtually all public transportation in Yokohama, including the Sea Bass.
