It is home to more than four million people, but did you know this massive city with a stunning skyline packed with bright illuminations has no airport?<\/p>\n

Yokohama in Japan may not be the first place tourists look to when planning a trip to the Asian country, with Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto all topping the bucket lists, but the city offers a tourist-free insight into life in the country.<\/p>\n

While travellers would think its lack of an airport would make it a difficult place to visit, the city is easily reachable from the centre of Tokyo, which is served by Haneda and Narita airports, within 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

The city boasts some great attractions including the impressive Gundam Factory, where an 18-metre walking mech robot is displayed. Visitors can watch on as the giant structure powers up and moves around the city’s\u00a0Yamashita Pier.<\/p>\n

Yokohama is also home to one of the most bizarre attractions in the world, the CupNoodles Museum, which houses more than 3,000 different noodles packages and allows visitors to make their own noodles and learn about the history of instant ramen.<\/p>\n

Animal lovers are able to sample Capybara Land, a petting zoo dedicated to the giant rodents, while thrill seekers can visit Yokohama Cosmo World, which once had the tallest ferris wheel in the world and features tons of rides packed into a small space. Its rollercoaster even spills out of the theme park and over the pavement.<\/p>\n

In the city centre, Yokohama’s streets feature all the bright advertising boards travellers would associate with Japan, with its noisy Pachinko parlours offering visitors a taste of one of Japan’s most popular pastimes.<\/p>\n

The arcade game, which is similar to pinball, can be tough to get used to for foreigners, but many of the parlours have instructions in English to help newcomers get used to the game.<\/p>\n
