Yokohama is a bustling
city with a population of more than 3 million people, making it Japan's second largest city
after metropolitan Tokyo. Yokohama's modern history dates from 1859, when the port was
opened to the international community. In the more than 130 years since then, Yokohama
has continued to serve as an important gateway between Japan and world, while also
playing a central role in Japan's modernization and internationalization. Yokohama is also
taking on a more prominent role internationally. Last year saw two major conferences - The
10th International Conference on AIDS, and The World Conference on Natural Disaster
Reduction - held in this city. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the citizens of
Yokohama themselves, who are noted for their openness and progressiveness. Their vitality
enhances this city's unique personality, making Yokohama an appealing place to live and
work. Yokohama is continually working toward a better future and has set its sights firmly
on the twenty-first century by pushing ahead with urban development. Yokohama's
comprehensive urban plan seeks to integrate various sectors of the community, including
local and international business. Yokohama is an ideal business location with well built
infrastructure, as well as abundant greenery and an attractive living environment. The city
also boasts administrative facilities befitting a major center in addition to the superb
integration of research, service, and high-tech sectors. This provides an ideal environment
for the effective execution of business activities and research development.
This is Japan's largest stadium. It has a 9x19m display screen. It features an air driven automatic mobile
camera (high speed device of 100m per 7 seconds) and has a Sports Science Center
establishment.
