Die eine Regel, die das Reisen mit Hund in Japan bestimmt, ist einfach: In Zügen, U-Bahnen und Bussen muss ein Haustier vollständig in einer geschlossenen Transportbox mitfahren, die die Größenvorgaben des Betreibers erfüllt. Kein Hund, wie klein oder brav er auch sei, darf lose oder an der Leine im Wagen mitfahren. Innerhalb dieser Regel ist Yokohama sehr gut zu bewältigen, weil die besten Hundeareale eine kompakte, gut begehbare Uferpromenade bilden und die Parks nah beieinander liegen.

| Verkehrsmittel | Richtlinie | Tipp |
|---|---|---|
| JR trains | A small dog or cat may travel if fully enclosed in a hard or soft carrier within JR's limits (roughly up to 70 cm long, total dimensions within about 120 cm, and combined weight under 10 kg) for a small hand-luggage charge of around 290 yen. The animal must stay entirely inside the carrier the whole trip; no head-out or on-lap travel. | 💡 |
| Minatomirai Line and Tokyu | The Minatomirai Line (through-run with the Tokyu Toyoko Line) applies the same enclosed-carrier rule; on these private railways a carried pet within the carry-on size limit generally rides free as hand luggage. Keep the carrier closed and off the seat. | 💡 |
| City buses and taxis | Yokohama city buses accept only small pets in a fully closed carrier. Taxis are at the driver's discretion and usually expect a carrier or a seat cover; asking before the dog gets in avoids a refusal. Assistance dogs are exempt and ride free with their handler. | 💡 |
Most visitors arrive through Tokyo. Haneda Airport is the closest gateway, roughly 30 minutes away by the Keikyu line or by road, while Narita is far longer. From central Tokyo, JR and private lines reach Yokohama in under 30 minutes. On every leg the dog must be in its carrier, so plan a carrier your dog is genuinely comfortable being closed inside for the whole journey.
The good news for owners is that Yokohama's headline dog spots barely need transport once you arrive. Sakuragicho, the Red Brick Warehouse, Marine & Walk, Yamashita Park and the Rinko Park dog run all connect along flat, continuous waterfront promenades such as the Kishamichi. You can spend a full day out with the dog on foot, using a carried train hop only to reach the seafront in the first place.
