Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Yokohama

Several elements influence when and where mosquitoes thrive in Yokohama. Key factors include:

Urban green spaces like Yamashita Park

Additionally, the city's proximity to Tokyo Bay creates a humid microclimate conducive to mosquito breeding. Seasonal rains in early summer increase standing water, boosting mosquito populations.
