I’ve lived in Yokohama for 9 years
I speak English, Filipino
I am MARKETING, EVENTS, TEACHER
I moved to Japan because of my love for it. I decided to stay for healing purposes. This was 12 years ago and now Japan is my second home. Over the years I have gained the superhuman ability to walk for ages without getting tired. I can also speak Japanese with a flawless accent! I enjoy the simple things in life, whether its indulging in street food or exploring smaller areas like Hinodecho all day. Even though I know the city well, I'll always be a tourist at heart. I love both the popular areas but also value hidden places that only locals know of. Fun fact of the city: urban legend has it that Yokohama is Pikachu's home. If you appreciate getting lost and getting lost in translation, let's do it together!
Our guide Estela was very knowledgeable and took us to places we would have otherwise missed. She gave us lots of tips for getting around the city and other places to visit during our trip.

This was an unforgettable trip that I will forever treasure! Estela was the best tour guide and made sure I got to do everything on my bucket list and more! While in Japan, I wanted to see as much as I could and even just get comfortable using the train and finding my way places. Estela was able to not only get me comfortable doing so, she was also such a joy to spend the day with. We took the scenic route and I got to see so many things I would not have even known to look for had I been traveling by myself. Some of my favorite things that we did included going to a Japanese temple and walking around there, and also we went to an all you can eat noodle shop where the noodles slide down a bamboo shoot and you need to use chopsticks to collect the noodles before they slip past you. The entire time I was with Estela was the best time and she even went out of her way to help me find a place where I could but a kimono, it was something I wanted to do while in Japan, and she made sure I got to do it. It really was an incredible way to explore the area and it made my trip to Japan!
