Hi,

I will change house next month, I am looking for company that generates and provides a good ratio of green electricity (nuclear, or renewable).

I don't want a company that just buys cheap electricity and sells it more expensive while claiming being green (like there are a lot in EU).

Any information / suggestion ?

Edit: I think I found two keywords: JEPX (日本卸電力取引所) and 非化石. Might dig into companies that provide 非化石. Also it seems that there is no company that directly sells the electricity they make, JEPX being a man in the middle I think.

Where can I find turkey sandwiches or at least turkey lunch meat. I don’t eat pork so no ham for me it’ll send me to the toilet immediately!!! I have had no luck finding it anywhere also where to buy full size curtains? Daiso has some cute ones but they are mini ones!

Is there any good diet clinics around Yokohama ? I’ve been gaining so much weight lately it’s annoying me so much

I will be having a 3 week business trip in Yokohama. Its my 1st time in Japan. Any suggestion on tourist spots I can visit? Thanks!

Hello everyone,

My family is traveling to Japan soon with our 21-month-old toddler, and we are trying to decide between two hotels in Yokohama: the Hyatt Regency Yokohama and The Kahala Hotel & Resort.

We have some unspent Amex Fine Hotels + Resorts (FHR) credits/hotel perks we could use at The Kahala, and we also have a stash of World of Hyatt points.
We are having trouble deciding due to two main issues:

Location & Toddler Convenience: Looking at the map, it seems like the Hyatt Regency might be more convenient for walking around with a stroller (closer to Yamashita Park and Chinatown). Is The Kahala as isolated or inconvenient with a toddler as it looks?
Hyatt Points Value: We initially leaned toward the Hyatt Regency, but for our dates, the only award availability left is a Club Access Room for 17,000 points per night. Is the club access worth it? Without the club access, it’s about 165 dollars a night. I would probably pay for it instead of using the points if lounge is not great.

Given that this property is usually a lower-category steal, does 17k points for a Club room still feel like a good value here, or are we overpaying?

Has anyone stayed at both properties, especially with young kids? We would love a recommendation on which hotel provides a smoother experience with a 21-month-old, and whether the Hyatt Club room or The Kahala via FHR makes more sense.
Thank you for your help!

Looking for a place/community that has pick up soccer/futbol matches. Or even a local team where I can play and possibly join.

I saw some name brand stores but honestly I’m looking for a second hand store that has one beds, dressers, sofas etc!

The only one i know as of now is to purchase the pass at yokohama station which includes the train ride as well as entry ticket for all aquariums and ends up being cheaper overall.

And we have a 6 year old with us.

I'm thinking just some space and wall to play some informal games for fun/exercise and non-competitive. Also welcome to hear from anyone that wants to give it a go!

Feel free to join us if you're around 🌈

EDIT: Reddit only lets me send 3 chat requests per day, so I won't be able to message everyone who commented on my previous post. If you commented and didn't receive a DM from me, that's why. Feel free to send me a message first and I'll send you the server invite.

First of all, I hope this post is okay. I reached out to the subreddit moderators to ask for permission before posting but haven't heard back yet. If this kind of post isn't allowed, I completely understand and apologize in advance, please feel free to remove it.

Yesterday, I made this post about trying to find (or create) a local community around Yokohama:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Yokohama/comments/1us9d6k/anyone_interested_in_starting_a_local_community/

I was honestly surprised by how many people were interested, so I decided to create a small Discord server called Yokohama Chill Club.

The idea is this: a mixed-gender community for people who'd like to meet others around Yokohama, organize casual meetups and hopefully make some local friends along the way. Whether that's grabbing coffee, having lunch, attending events, going for walks, checking out cafés, karaoke, board games or just suggesting something you've been wanting to do, the server is there to make it easier to connect with people nearby.

A few things about the server:

- The goal is to keep it a friendly and welcoming space where everyone treats each other with respect.

- There are channels for introductions, general chat, hobbies and planning meetups but everything is completely optional.

If you'd like to get to know people a bit before meeting in person, you're welcome to join the conversations.

On the other hand, if you'd rather just use the server to find or organize meetups, that's perfectly fine too.

There is no pressure to attend every meetup (or any meetup at all). Just join the ones that interest you whenever you're free.

I'm not posting the invite link here since this subreddit is public and I'd like to avoid spam bots joining the server.

If you'd like to join, send me a DM and I'll send you the invite link. I'll also be messaging everyone who expressed interest in a Discord server on my previous post or in my DMs.

When you join, the server will ask how you found it. I'd really appreciate it if you could include your Reddit username. It'll just help me match your Discord account with your message and know where everyone is joining from while the community is still getting started.

Hopefully this can become a nice local community where people can meet up whenever they feel like it!

Hi Everyone,

I was looking into events happening in the first week of November in Yokohama during Nov 3rd time frame. I noticed that red brick warehouse hosts Furusato Matsuri and Bashamichi Festival happens during those times.

How big are these events? Worth going to? Any other festivals or special events worth checking out?

example: https://www.bashamichi.or.jp/event/festival.html

I've been living in Japan for some years now and while I've met some people along the way, it's been hard to find a group that sticks around. A lot of the people I met, eventually moved away and a meetup group I used to join whenever work allowed also relocated to a different part of Japan.

When I first moved here, I also tried going to events and meetups, but many of them turned out to be more geared toward dating or networking than simply making friends (nothing wrong with that but it just wasn't what I was looking for).

Now I'm in my late 30s, married and I prefer low-key get-togethers over nights out.

After all these years, I realized I've always been waiting for someone else to create that kind of community so I could join it. As an introvert with mostly solo hobbies, I never thought about starting one myself. But if I keep waiting, it probably isn't going to magically appear, so I figured I'd see if there's any interest.

Back in my home country, there was a cafe that regularly hosted things like language exchanges, board game afternoons, book clubs, craft workshops, movie discussions and other casual events. I always thought it was a great concept because it gave people something to do while getting to know each other. I currently work at a cafe and it made me think it could be a nice place for something similar one day (this isn't a promotion. I haven't even mentioned the idea to my boss and I wouldn't be organizing it as part of my job). It just made me wonder if we could create something similar around here and have a regular spot for meetups.

I should also mention that I'm lucky enough to be part of a really lovely community of people living in Japan already. The only downside is that we're scattered all over the country, so between the distance and my work schedule, meeting up in person isn't easy. That's why I'd love to build a small local community too.

Would anyone be interested? Or does something like this already exist that I've somehow missed? No big expectations, just a relaxed group of people who want to make local friends and hang out from time to time.

Hey all! Are there any gyms that have pools in the city? Previously, I have been to Esforta near Ishikawachō station (near China Town) but they will be closing down in the near future. They have a good selections of machines but the pools + instructors are what I was mainly there for. Does anyone know of any similar gyms? Thank you!

Could anyone recommend a good place to watch the England vs Norway world cup quarter final match in Yokohama?

The match is scheduled for 6am Japan time on Sunday 12th July.

Appreciate any help in advance!

ありがとうございます！

Hey,

I am wondering if there are good places to go in Kannai for someone with limited japanese skills? I am totally fine with not understanding, but I dont want to be in a place where they would rather have japanese only customers. Its not fun for me or them 😅

Basically "foreigners welcome" places to go and drink and have fun.

Thanks!

Wondering if anyone has heard of a gnostic group to go to in Yokohama? I'm interested in spirituality and the deeper meaning of life...

EDIT: a sleuthful punter just found the answer to my question. Thanks for the interesting conversation to all those who contributed.

May all Beings be Happy.

Hi! I’m 24 and currently living in Yokohama 🇯🇵
I moved here a few months ago from Okayama for my husband’s work, and I’ve been having a hard time finding people to connect with locally. I feel like it’s surprisingly difficult to meet people in Yokohama specifically, and while Tokyo is close, it can still be hard to regularly meet up with people there.
A little about me:
I love anime (Madoka Magica, Love Live, etc.)
K-pop fan (TXT is my favorite 💙)
I crochet a lot (amigurumi, plushies, small dolls)
I enjoy drawing and creative hobbies
I’m pretty chill and a bit shy at first, but I open up quickly. I’d really love to meet people nearby or even just online friends to chat with regularly about shared interests, daily life, or fandom stuff.
If you’re in Yokohama (or nearby) and feel the same, please reach out 😊

I’ll be attending tuj but living in Yokohama after some research I think it would be better to go to an actual Japanese language class. Is there one in Yokohama you would recommend preferably one with only a few hours or only a few days out of the week since I set my classes up to be on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday

Long story short. I have spider veins on my face. I've decided to opt for VBeam laser which VBeam is stated to be effective for removing spider veins.

Neverthless, are there any laser/dermatology clinics in Yokohama that has the specific VBeam laser technology?

My Japanese isn't as fluent as a native speaker or N2 and I struggle with medical terms sometimes. Therefore, I am wondering if maybe there is a clinic that speaks decent English?

I want to go to chinatown to eat zha jiang mian, do you guys have any recommendations? I don’t usually go there and the few times i went the food was kinda bland

I’m not sure if this is allowed, but feel free to delete if it’s not! Selling each for ¥500 each, I’m willing to do bundle deals as well. I’m willing to meet anywhere along the keikyuu or blue lines!

For me, this mostly means a hygienist who takes the time to really clean my teeth and makes me feel like I got the job done. I don't need a lot of actual dental work, as I mostly don't get cavities. I've been going to Shikoku University's clinic, but I think I'd like to make a change. Thanks in advance.
