Yamamoto is a damaged lunar crater that is located to the north of the large D'Alembert walled-plain. To the north-northeast is the Avogadro crater. This feature lies on the northern hemisphere of the Moon's far side.

Several parts of the crater rim are overlaid by subsequent impacts, particularly along the northeastern section which has been almost completely obliterated. The southwest part of the floor is more irregular than the remainder of the interior, and may have been overlaid by "ejecta" from D'Alembert or elsewhere. The northeastern floor is relatively level and featureless.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Yamamoto crater.
