What you’ll do

Yokohama’s internationalized history has given the city many contrasting sides – from the futuristic bayside to the historical “old towns” of Kannai to the perfectly preserved shrines and temples of Sankei-en Garden. And with just four hours and a local insider, you’ll experience more of these sides than you knew existed.

Whether you walk down lantern-lit Noge’s narrow alleys to a cozy izakaya serving Yokohama’s famous Kirin beer and breadcrumb-battered aji furai (mackerel), stop off at the Yokohama Noh Theater for an impressive production of traditional Japanese performing arts, or simply gawk at giant shopping complexes in the fast-paced downtown districts, you’ll soon see why this city must be experienced to be understood.

    Hiroshi was very good. He showed us exactly what we wanted to see. We had an excellent time and he scheduled it to meet our needs. And lunch was great, showing us the dim sum way!

    We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide Estela covering as many of the main attractions of the city as we could driving the time we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our day- the waterfront area, the spectacular garden show going on, other gardens throughout the city, Chinatown, shopping areas and other sights we were able to get to! Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings and areas. Highly recommend this tour and our very sweet and awesome tour guide!
