What you’ll do

As one of the first Japanese ports open to foreigners, Yokohama boasts a richly internationalized history – and a long list of attractions. Luckily, with a local host to plot your route, you’ll tick off at least 10 of the most important items!

Whizzing up Japan’s fastest elevator in Yokohama Landmark Tower and strolling along the lit-up Kishamichi Promenade, sakura (cherry blossom) ice cream in hand, are unmissable experiences, while the historic Sankei-en Garden and Yamate – a district lined with Western mansions from the 1920s – reveal secret stories of the city’s fascinating past.

When hunger strikes, Yokohama’s hearty gyunabe hotpot is always a winner, but why not mix your very own instant ramen soup at the interactive Cupnoodles Museum?

What travelers think of this experience

John, Feb 2025

Before we met Hiroko emailed some additional questions to better understand our interests and objectives for the day. We mentioned I was experiencing some mobility issues, for which she adapted the itinerary. When we met in person, we confirmed a strategy and were able to accomplish everything we intended within my limitations. Since we were planning to use public transit during our stay, she helped us purchase the correct transit cards. Since it was our first time in Japan, she offered a quick history of Japan and its culture; along with lots of other tidbits too numerous to list. She matched her pace to ours. It was a perfect day for us. We would certainly use her services again, and enthusiastically recommend her to others.

Madoka, our fabulous guide in Yokohama, feels like a new friend. We had a wonderful exchange of cultures, educational practices & travel stories. She was as interested in our lives as we were in hers. Using the train, metro & 16k steps later we made the most of our time together. We highly recommend Madoka & give her a five star plus rating! Experiences such as this is why we travel.

Cheryl, Mar 2025

Madoka provided us with a wonderful overview of beautiful Yokohama. We traveled 16k steps by foot AND used both the train & subway system. We highly recommend that you allow Madoka to tailor your tour time together to meet your needs. Madoka feels like a new friend!
