Yokohama is often called the Garden City, though its name means "City by the Bay." Its waterfront area provides a port to the rest of the world as well as beautiful beaches. The waterfront district has unique art galleries and boutiques and is one of the largest Chinatown areas in Japan. Yokohama is the home of Japan's Central Baseball League and Japan's first coffee shop. There is even an indoor beach with sand and water and waves! The second largest city in Japan, Yokohama is home to 3 million people and is a growing, innovative business center. Its large, accessible port has made it Japan's largest international trading center. It certainly maintains its own identity and does not fall into the shadow of Tokyo, a mere 18.6 miles (30 kilometers) from Tokyo.
Akita is the capital city of Akita Prefecture, Japan, and has been designated a core city since 1 April 1997. The area of present-day Akita was part of ancient Dewa Province and has been inhabited for thousands of years.
Toyama is the capital city of Toyama Prefecture, Japan, located on the coast of the Sea of Japan in the Chubu region in central Honshu, about 200 km north of the city of Nagoya and 300 km northwest of Tokyo.
Tsuruga is a port city in central Japan. By the waterfront, the early-20th-century Red Brick Warehouse has a large-scale diorama of the historic city. Nearby, Kehi Jingu Shrine has a grand red torii gate. Kehi no Matsubara is a white-sand beach backed by pine trees. To the east, Nakaikemi-which Wetland is known for birdlife and dragonflies. North of the city, ferries run to Mizushima, a tiny uninhabited island.
The smallest city in Tottori, Sakaiminato City has only 37,392 (2004) people living there. It's located on the westernmost section of the oast in Tottori on the Yumigahama Peninsula which encloses the Sea of Naka behind it. Thus, the city is surrounded by water on three sides and Yonago City to its east. Miho Airbase (JSDF) which also doubles as Yonago Airport is located in Sakaiminato. Its citizens rejected an attempt to merge with Yonago City.
Busan/Pusan is Korea's second largest city. Tourists often come to this region to hike and to visit the Buddhist Temples located deep within the region's mountains. The Beomeosa Temple, founded in 678 AD, is perhaps one of the most frequented temples in the area and is always packed with worshipers and tourists. For art buffs, Busan offers several museums and historical buildings. If scenery is your thing, try visiting the Dongbaek Island, or bird watch at the Nakdong river estuary.
Nagasaki is the capital and the largest city of Nagasaki Prefecture located at the south-western coast of Kyushu. Nagasaki lies at the head of a long bay that forms the best natural harbor on the southern Japanese home island of Kyushu. The main commercial and residential area of the city lies on a small plain near the end of the bay. Two rivers divided by a mountain spur form the two main valleys in which the city lies. The heavily built-up area of the city is confined by the terrain to less than 4 square miles out of a total of about 35 square miles in the city as a whole. The city was rebuilt after the war, albeit dramatically changed, as any city would be after such colossal damage. New temples were built and new churches as well, since the Christian presence never died out and even increased dramatically after the war. Some of the rubble was left as a memorial, such as a one-legged torii gate and a stone arch near ground zero. New structures were also raised as memorials, such as the Atomic Bomb Museum. Nagasaki remains first and foremost a port city, supporting a rich shipping industry and setting a strong example of perseverance and peace.

Niigata City is the capital of Niigata Prefecture. It is the largest Japanese city along the coast of the Sea of Japan. Niigata lies on almost the same latitudinal coordinates as San Francisco, Tiensin, and Lisbon, and is located approximately 300km northwest of Tokyo, which can be reached in 1 hour and 40 minutes by the Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train or in about 3 hours and 30 minutes by car on the Kan-etsu Expressway. Niigata was a prosperous port city during the Edo period because it lies on a key point along trade routes in the Sea of Japan. In 1858, when the Japan-U.S.A. Treaty of Amity and Commerce was signed, Niigata was designated as one of five ports in Japan to conduct trade with the outside world. Niigata's economy is supported by a high proportion of tertiary industries (commerce and service) and a large petrochemical industry that utilizes Niigata's convenient port access. Agricultural production occurs mainly in the suburbs. Although rice is the major crop, watermelons, Japanese radishes, and flowers are also popular items of cultivation. Niigata has rich coastal fisheries and much effort is made to maximize the harvests of mackerel, horse mackerel, and sagittated ccalamari(squid). The Joetsu Shinkansen bullet train and the Kan-etsu, Hokuriku, and Ban-etsu Expressways make up a high-speed transportation system. In addition, there are regular international flights from Niigata to Khabarovsk, Vladivostok, Irkutsk, Seoul, Shanghai, Xi'an, Harbin, Guam, a nd Honolulu. The port of Niigata offers a regular container service to Nakhoda, and there are regular passenger services to such places as Busan, Dalian, and Shanghai. International exchanges with neighboring countries such as Russia, South Korea, and China are constantly expanding. Niigata is a city committed to continue developingevenl more.
Kanazawa is a castle town that was ruled over by the Maeda family for three centuries after the first lord Toshiie Maeda entered Kanazawa Castle in 1583. The development of its special products like rice, sake, sweets, etc. was due to its temperate and rainy climate with heavy snow in winter. The city is surrounded by the Japan Alps, Hakusan National Park, and Noto Peninsula National Park. Two rivers run through the city; the Sai is said to be a lively masculine river and the Asanoise is a sweet, feminine river. Such a natural background of great beauty gives the city a relaxed feeling. Since the Kaga Clan invited many artists and craftsmen to this area, it achieved a high level of craftsmanship that continues to flourish to this day. The buildings that gave birth to these traditions stand tranquility and blend in with the modern atmosphere in Kanazawa to create a charming ancient castle town.

Kagoshima is a bright sunny tropical city. Tourists can see smoke coming from the magnificent Mt. Sakurajima across Kinko Bay. The city has been known as the Naples of the Orient for many years. It prospered as a castle town of the powerful Lord Shimazu, who had 770 thousand "koku" of rice during the Edo Period. The city still maintains the strong spirit of Takamori Saigo and Toshimichi Okubo, heroes of the Meiji Restoration. The most famous historical spot related to them is the extensive Iso Garden, the former villa of Lord Shimazu. The garden´s pond is representative of Kinko Bay, which is north of downtown, and the hill is representative of Mt. Sakurajima.

Kobe lies on the south coast of southwestern Honshu Island, on Osaka Bay, near the city of Osaka. Behind the narrow coastal site of the city are mountains on which suburban residences and hotels have been built. Hyogo, which is now part of Kobe, had for centuries been a major Japanese port trading with China and Korea and benefited in the 1860s when Japan was re-opened to foreign trade. Since the 1890s several adjoining cities, including Hyogo, have been absorbed by Kobe. Following the 1995 earthquake tragedy, Kobe Phoenix Plaza became a help center and now features a collection of photographs that reveal the devastating force of the earthquake.
