I am travelling to Yokohama first time… Just wanted to know which offline maps works better? Do Taxi drivers know English? If not how to guide Taxi driver to Hotel?

Limousine bus is advisable from Airport to Yokohama…you can do booking right inside the airport after you collect you luggage from the carousal belt….

For navigation inside the city you can use taxi and following apps can be useful..

3 Taxi Apps in Japan & 6 terms on the taxi display (holidays utility)

Taxi drivers do not use so much English, hence if not using an app, you can write the address on paper/phone clearly till the pin code or phone number of hotel if you staying in one…Taxi Driver’s can use the pin code/phone number/address on their navigation devices…

For offline maps, google works best and you can download the map of the area u plan to use beforehand…

Hope this helps…
