Kannai and Isezakicho make up a part of Naka Ward, Yokohama: the Kannai and Bashamichi area, where many port-era buildings survive, and the Isezakicho shopping street running through Isezakicho 3 to 7 chome.
For the Isezakicho shopping street, Yokohama's tourism site names four nearby stations: Kannai (JR Negishi Line and the municipal subway Blue Line), Isezakichojamachi (Blue Line), Hinodecho (Keikyu Main Line) and Bashamichi (Minatomirai Line).
The city's tourism site describes the Isezakicho shopping street as a shopping promenade that people have loved as a walk to the harbour ever since the port opened. It adds that many historic buildings from the port-opening era still stand in the Kannai and Bashamichi area.
Nothing is listed for Kannai or Isezakicho yet; once listings are registered they will appear on this page. What this site currently lists in the prefecture can be reached from the Kanagawa page.
Isezaki Police Station warns that touting is a crime, noting many cases in the nightlife area where people followed a tout to a venue and were overcharged.
Under Kanagawa's ordinance against organised crime, the district around Kannai Station is a zone of special enforcement that takes in Isezakicho, Noge-cho and Hanasaki-cho among others, and forbids handing over protection money there. According to the prefectural police, designated areas of Naka Ward also allow venues where staff entertain guests to stay open until 1 a.m.
Kannai/Isezakicho is generally fine for a night out. The main risk is bottakuri, a padded bill at the end. Stick to venues that post their prices, skip street touts steering you into ‘free’ bars, and confirm the set fee plus any nomination or bottle charges before you order.
Payment methods vary by venue. Check the listing and confirm with the venue before booking.
