Hello, Im Norline an expat in Ho Chi Minh City. We are trying to decide whether Yokohama is the next city. I have 2 kids 8 and 7 year old. We are looking at Yokohama International School as it is the same IB program as the school now. I‘d like to know the area where expats live. I have 2 cats. So pet friendly apartment. Maybe walk to school if possible. We will be on expat package so I would like to hear some information that can help. If this is happening, we will be there when the school is settled for my kids and proper visas obtained.  I have loads of questions but this should help for the time being.

Hi Norline,

Expats very often choose to live in the Yamate Hills area of Yokohama and the Yokohama International School is actually in that vicinity. The great thing about this area is that it is close to the waterfront, several parks, Chinatown and Motomachi street.
