Both have a slow pace and focus on the daily lives of regular people in a semi-realistic sci-fi world.
Great enigma aura.
Transient existance of human civilisation and human beings in Big Mystery Universe.
Slice of life in fantastic future world.
Drama plot is covered by comedy / adventure plot.
Many hidden facts about the world that are meant but not said directly.
Beautiful nature and music.
Girls as main characters.
Water theme.
YKK is more concentrated on mystery while Aria have more slice of life & kawaii.
Plot in Aria is much more slow paced.
However, the world in both animes looks stationary at the same rate.
Feels like the same atmosphere, soft, laid-back. Yokohama is more homey feeling, whereas aria feels futuristic

Aria is somewhat faster paced, more beautiful, has backgroud music (that will enhance the atmosphere).
Both series are supposed to give you the same feeling, however Aria is superior in every aspect.
These anime feature friendly, sentimental, and cute main characters in futuristic settings. There are a lot of shots of scenery in each, and the main characters both aim to make nice memories and see the beauty in life. The main similarity between these shows is the calm, nostalgic, and almost melancholic feel.

Main characters of those series work hard every day in their respective professions.
Alpha is working hard in the cafe, so when her owner returns, he would be proud of her.
Akari is training every day to became Prima Undine in Neo-Venezia.
Both series are calm and relaxing with no fast-paced action or drama. After completing them you would yearn for more.
If you watched and liked one of those, you would definitely like the other one.
Sci-Fi slice of life's that are relaxing to watch and go abouts on a mellow way of life.
They do share a similarish plot where Earth has declined but it isn't necessarily the main interest in their shows.
Their OSTs are relaxing but they do share the use of Choro Club, in the entirety of Aria and the 2nd OVA of YKK.
I like to lump YKK, Aria, and Amanchu! together due to similarities in its nature of feel but in its use of composers for their OSTs too.

Both series:
-Emphasize finding beauty in mundane, everyday events and places
-Establish a serene, relaxing atmosphere that is, arguably, just as integral to the story as its plot or characters
-Feature charming, affable protagonists
-Take place in the future
