## Visitor Tips

Choose the correct station side before leaving the ticketed area.

Use the West Exit for Takashimaya, Joinus, Sotetsu Railway and the western shopping and entertainment district.

Follow signs for the Minatomirai Line when travelling to Minato Mirai, the Red Brick Warehouse or Yokohama Chinatown.

Allow at least ten to fifteen minutes for an unfamiliar transfer between railway operators.

Allow additional time when transferring to the Tokyu or Minatomirai platforms because they are deep underground.

Check whether your JR train uses the Tokaido, Yokosuka, Shonan-Shinjuku or Keihin-Tohoku route before boarding.

Check the destination carefully on Keikyu services because only some trains provide the most convenient connection to Haneda Airport.

Keep your ticket or transport card available because transfers between operators normally require separate ticket gates.

Use a staffed gate when travelling with oversized luggage, a stroller or a wheelchair.

Do not confuse Yokohama Station with Shin-Yokohama Station, which is the city’s principal Shinkansen station.
