Yokohama (139.641E 35.463N) is a major port city on the west side of Tokyo Bay. The port was opened in 1859 to export silk, and the city was incorporated on 1 April 1889. The city was almost completely destroyed in the great earthquake of 1923 and was rebuilt to modern standards. Yokohama was built on the estuary of the Tsurumi River, but this was reclaimed in 1931 and the new coastline became an industrial belt.
