What you’ll do

Take Tokyo’s neon-lit skyscrapers, Osaka’s laidback vibe, and Kyoto’s combination of old and new Japan, then mix them all with a fresh ocean breeze: that’s Yokohama. From a historical port to the colorful Unko – er, poop – Museum, Yokohama is packed with diverse attractions that put the city on the map (and can’t even be found on a map).

But luckily for you, your host knows where to find both! From massive shopping complexes and the Cosmo World amusement park to the secret alleys at the ground levels of the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the central hub can get dizzying. And when you’ve had enough of ultra-modern, ancient Japan is just a train ride away in seaside Kamakura, home to the tranquil Kōtoku-in temple and its iconic Great Buddha.

    Anya made our first visit to Yokohama fantastic… she was able to meet all of our site requests and even offered to go over the end time to jam-pack all of the sites. She went out of her way to accommodate my gluten free and other dietary requirements which was really kind of her. We would highly recommend Anya showing you around Yokohama!

    Guide was great. Shuto spoke very good English. Being older, we walk slower, and Shuto kept the pace to meet our needs. Lunch choice was good.

    Shuto's English was very understandable. He was well versed on the places we went to.

    Our tour was a wonderful introduction to Yokohama. Our guide, Mr. Hiroshi Kawano, was in contact with us prior to tour date and we planned our chosen itinerary together. The restaurant suggested for lunch was another perfect and unique taste of sashimi, sushi and more that we will remember forever! Food is a very big part of travel to different countries and our walk and tastings in the local market was perfect.
