Experience the internationalized history at locations like the sprawling 160-year-old Chinatown and beef hotpot restaurants that have been around since the 1800s, and get a taste of the sophisticated modern food trends at futuristic Minato Mirai along the waterfront.

Yokohama food tours to your taste

With a local guide by your side every step of the way, you’ll explore some of the most food-obsessed areas of the city on our food tours of Yokohama. No matter what type of food you’re into – sweet, sour, or savory – you can trust your host to recommend delicious dishes suited to your palate. Even better? Your helpful host can translate, order, and explain any dish on any menu, whether you’re at a street food stall in Chinatown or a tiny restaurant hidden down an alley in the downtown area. If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that our Yokohama food tours are tailored to you.

Taste local specialties

When you think of iconic Japanese food cities, Yokohama probably doesn’t make the list. But food tours of Yokohama with City Unscripted will show you just how much of a culinary powerhouse the city is. All it takes is the local favorite of crunchy, breadcrumb-battered mackerel with an ice-cold beer to sell you on the city’s food culture. Our food tours in Yokohama give you the opportunity to taste Yokohama staples like Gyunabe (a hearty beef hotpot), pork- or beef-filled Chinese dumplings, slurpy soup noodles, and fragrant cherry-blossom flavored ice-cream. What could be better than that?

Explore famous food areas

Food tours in Yokohama with us are as much about exploring the city as they are about tasting the food! We’ll make sure you squeeze in some sightseeing while getting an authentic snapshot (and a practical, hands-on experience) of Yokohama’s culinary culture. We’ll take you to areas like lantern-lit Noge, an old-school entertainment hub lined with wood-built izakaya and tiny eateries, along the city’s festive eastern bay. You’ll also get to see the world-renowned Chinatown – the biggest in Japan – where over 600 stalls sell trinkets, souvenirs and spectacular street food.

This is a great way to see how the locals eat. Our guide took us off the beeten path offering us great historic facts about the city while sharing resturants and dishes we would have never found. The meals were great and she was able to cater the experiance to what we were looking for.

This was an excellent tour. Martina is an excellent guide and speaks excellent English. She has a tremendous knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. Thus, besides learning a lot about the sights in Yokohama as we walked around and talked we learned a lot about Japan. The food stops were terrific and provided excellent food and learning about the foods was a real treat. Highly recommend this tour.
