Yokohama Central Post Office, post office in Yokohama, Japan
Yokohama Central Post Office is a post office in Yokohama, Japan, located next to the east exit of Yokohama Station. The building features red-brick Victorian architecture and houses the standard postal counter, Japan Post Bank Yokohama Branch, a Yu Yu counter with extended hours, and Koposu lockers for package collection outside regular operating hours.
The building was designed in 1901 by British architect Josaiah Conder and exemplifies Victorian architecture of that era. After the Great Kanto Earthquake destroyed the original structure, it was rebuilt and has continued serving as a central postal hub for Yokohama since then.
The post office's name reflects its role as a central hub in Yokohama's postal network. Its red-brick Victorian facade has become a recognizable landmark that connects visitors to the city's long relationship with international trade and communication.
The post office is open around the clock every day, with the standard postal counter available until 9 p.m. on weekdays. Its location next to the station makes it easy to reach, and staff can assist with package collection and mailing, with many clerks able to help English speakers.
The post office sells train stamps as popular souvenirs that visitors often purchase to take home. These small stamp sets make a simple and meaningful keepsake from a visit to Yokohama or for collectors.
