Any must do's?  This will be my 3rd trip there and I would like to see something besides the conference center and harbor.

If you haven't already, walk out to the end of the port terminal that was completed in 2002 by the London firm FOA (Foreign Office Architects). It's gorgeous.

Not far from the train station, there's a museum by Kenzo Tange that's a pretty nice building with an impressive collection and great temporary exhibitions.

I think Yokohama has the largest Chinatown in Japan, no? In any case it's big and worth visiting. 

There's a small museum on the top floor of one of the department stores that has amazing stuff, I think it's the Sogo store, also near the main train station. And if I remember correctly the food halls in the basement of that store were spectacular.

And don't forget the Yokohama museum of Ramen noodles! I did, and I will never forgive myself!
