I moved to Japan because of my love for it. I decided to stay for healing purposes. This was 12 years ago and now Japan is my second home. Over the years I have gained the superhuman ability to walk for ages without getting tired. I can also speak Japanese with a flawless accent! I enjoy the simple things in life, whether its indulging in street food or exploring smaller areas like Hinodecho all day. Even though I know the city well, I'll always be a tourist at heart. I love both the popular areas but also value hidden places that only locals know of. Fun fact of the city: urban legend has it that Yokohama is Pikachu's home. If you appreciate getting lost and getting lost in translation, let's do it together!

Estela is clearly the best tour guide we’ve had in a long time. She wanted to show us things that we wanted to see, and it was more like coming to Yokohama and having a friend show us around. She was great and we would give her the highest recommendation. Please pass this on and thank her for us.

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.
