About this place
Yokohama Chinatown is the large Chinese quarter in Yamashita-cho, Naka Ward, Yokohama, a grid of streets full of restaurants and food stalls entered through ornamental gates. It is a short walk from Yamashita Park and the waterfront, and the mapcode points into the middle of the district.
Inside, the streets are narrow and crowded, so drive to a car park rather than to the centre. The Chinatown Parking garage holds about 500 cars; from the Shuto Expressway use the Yokohama-koen exit, or the Yamashita-cho exit if coming along the Yokohama-Yokosuka road. Motomachi-Chukagai Station on the Minatomirai Line is right by the district if you prefer to leave the car at your hotel.
Need a mapcode for somewhere else?
This site covers 167 places. Your hotel, the rental return lot and the restaurant you booked need mapcodes too, and they are not on this list. The app converts any Japanese address or place name, in English, Korean, Chinese or Japanese. Free.
How to enter this in your car navigation
- On the navigation home screen, choose Destination (目的地).
- Choose Mapcode (マップコード) from the search methods.
- Type the digits, then the asterisk and the last two digits.
- Confirm the map preview shows the right area before you set the route.
Most Japanese rental cars (Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Times, Orix) accept mapcodes. Some older units ignore the *nn suffix. That is fine, because it only refines the pin.

Frequently asked questions
- What is the mapcode for Yokohama Chinatown?
- The mapcode is 8 677 654*21, pointing at a spot in 神奈川県. Written as decimal degrees the same point is 35.442664, 139.645191. A navigation unit takes the mapcode in far fewer keystrokes than the coordinates, so enter the code.
- What is a mapcode?
- A mapcode is a short numeric code that identifies a spot in Japan, developed by Denso. Japanese car navigation systems accept it directly, which avoids typing a Japanese address on a Japanese keyboard.
- How do I enter a mapcode in a Japanese rental car?
- On the navigation unit choose Destination (目的地), then Mapcode (マップコード), then type the digits. The two digits after the asterisk are an optional precision suffix; older units simply ignore them.
- What do the digits after the asterisk mean?
- They are a high-resolution suffix that narrows the point to roughly a few metres. Without them the code still resolves, just to a slightly wider area.
