===Topography=== Yokohama has a total area of {{convert|437.38|km2|mi2|abbr=on}} at an elevation of {{convert|5|m|ft}} above sea level. It is the capital of [[Kanagawa Prefecture]], bordered to the east by [[Tokyo Bay]] and located in the middle of the [[Kantō plain]]. The city is surrounded by hills and the characteristic mountain system of the island of [[Honshū]], so its growth has been limited and it has had to gain ground from the sea. This also affects the population density, one of the highest in Japan with 8,500 inhabitants per km<sup>2</sup>. The highest points within the urban boundary are Omaruyama ({{convert|156|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=sqbr}}) and Mount Enkaizan ({{convert|153|m|ft|abbr=on|disp=sqbr}}). The main river is the [[Tsurumi River]], which begins in the Tama Hills and empties into the [[Pacific Ocean]].<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.japanriver.or.jp/EnglishDocument/DB/file/004%20Kanto%2023/02.htm|title= Tsurumi River Multipurpose Retarding Basin|access-date= January 9, 2016|website=japanriver.or.jp|archive-date= September 26, 2017|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20170926223749/http://www.japanriver.or.jp/EnglishDocument/DB/file/004%20Kanto%2023/02.htm|url-status= live}}</ref> These municipalities surround Yokohama: [[Kawasaki, Kanagawa|Kawasaki]], [[Yokosuka]], [[Zushi, Kanagawa|Zushi]], [[Kamakura]], [[Fujisawa, Kanagawa|Fujisawa]], [[Yamato, Kanagawa|Yamato]], [[Machida, Tokyo|Machida]].
