Hi, I’m Yuko, your enthusiastic host in Yokohama! What I love most about this city are the amazing views of the Bay Area, the rich cultural experiences, and, of course, the delicious food. One of my favorite activities is exploring the world of ramen! We have a ramen museum where you can taste regional ramen dishes from all over Japan and even make your own! Plus, the Cup Noodles Museum is a fun stop to learn about the history of instant noodles and create your own custom cup. When I’m not indulging in ramen, I love unwinding at the Minato Mirai Manyo Club, where you can relax in an onsen with stunning views or enjoy a massage. It’s a perfect spot after a day of exploring. I’m also a big fan of walking around the city, soaking in the sights and enjoying the incredible variety of food. Let’s explore the best food, shopping, and fun activities Yokohama has to offer together!

My reviews

Yuko San was an efficient and pleasant guide for checking out local food. She was thoughtful and asked me ahead of the tour about likes and dislikes and if I had any particular dishes I would like to eat. We had a grand walking tour around my hotel area and went into clean, interesting places I'd likely never found on my own. The food was all most tasty and delicious.

I was 100% satisfied with the experience. Her English was excellent. I normally don’t fill out the surveys unless they are bad or exceptional.

My wife and I had a terrific day with Yuki touring Yokohama and Tokyo. Not being able to read or speak any Japanese, spending at time with a real local helped us see so many more things that would have been possible otherwise. We took many trains to see some of the lesser known attractions and had we try do that on our own, it would have taken 3 days versus 1 full day. My wife and I couldn't have had a better more enjoyable day.
