Yokohama is one of the busiest rail hubs in the Tokyo metropolitan area and a key transfer point between central Tokyo, Kanagawa Prefecture, and the Tokaido corridor. The city has two main long-distance rail points: Yokohama Station for JR East, Keikyu, Tokyu, and Sotetsu services, and Shin-Yokohama Station for JR Central Tokaido Shinkansen trains.
Train services from Yokohama include bullet train departures at Shin-Yokohama, JR East regional and urban rail services at Yokohama Station, private railway services toward Tokyo and Kanagawa, and Keikyu trains linking Yokohama with Haneda Airport. Shin-Yokohama is the main train station for intercity bullet train tickets, while Yokohama Station handles a wider range of regional and airport rail movements.
Rail routes from Yokohama run north toward Tokyo, Shinagawa, and Shibuya, west along the Tokaido Shinkansen toward Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka, south toward Kamakura and the Miura Peninsula, and southwest toward Odawara and the Izu area. Book trains from and to Yokohama online at Rail Monsters.
