In 1859, when the port of Yokohama opened, many Chinese immigrants arrived in Japan and formed settlements. Many Chinese traders came to Japan and built a Chinese School, Chinese Community Center, and various other facilities in what represented the beginning of Chinatown. Japanese government regulations at the time meant that immigrants were not permitted to live outside of the designated foreign settlement areas and thus Chinatown was formed.
