Hi there, I'm Maya, your go-to local host in the vibrant city of Yokohama! I'm absolutely in love with the unique blend of modern and classic architecture in the Minato Mirai area.

My adventures in Yokohama are never dull, from leisurely strolls along the scenic Minato Mirai Bay to indulging in café hopping and culinary explorations in the city center. As someone who knows Yokohama, Minato Mirai, and the surrounding areas like the back of my hand, I'm excited to share my knowledge and passion for this city. Whether it's uncovering the best sights in the city center or guiding you through the unique flavors of Yokohama, I'm here to make your visit unforgettable.
