Yokohama Station is a major train station in [[Yokohama]], [[Kanagawa prefecture]], a short distance west of Tokyo.
It is the third station to be called "Yokohama." When the very first Japanese train lines were built in [[1872]], connecting [[Shinbashi Station]] and [[Shinagawa]] in Tokyo with the city of Yokohama, the terminus, "Yokohama Station" (''Yokohama teishajô'' or ''teishaba''), was in the location today known as [[Sakuragicho Station|Sakuragichô Station]]. A new Yokohama Station was built in the Takashima-chô neighborhood on August 15, 1915, at which time the original Yokohama Station was renamed Sakuragichô. Then, in 1928, Yokohama Station was relocated yet again, to its current location, with the new station being called at that time the best station in the entire Orient. [[Kanagawa-juku|Kanagawa Station]], which sat about 500m away, was dismantled at that time.
