Hello, I’m Miwa, your local host in Yokohama. What I love most about this city is its balance—cleaner, safer, and less crowded than Tokyo, yet offering the same high-quality restaurants and shops. From fine dining in hotel restaurants to unique experiences like yakatabune dining or a relaxing lunch cruise, Yokohama has it all. I enjoy taking peaceful walks and relaxing in quiet, photogenic cafés or visiting the beautiful gardens in the Motomachi and Yamashita Park areas, especially in the spring. I’m very familiar with the Yokohama Station, Minatomirai, and Motomachi neighborhoods and can assist in arranging everything from dining experiences, whether casual or fine, to cultural activities such as tea ceremonies, sushi making, and museum visits with bilingual panels. Let’s explore Yokohama together!
