I am Host
Hey there! I'm Maoko, your friendly local host in Yokohama. What I love most about Yokohama is the perfect blend of tradition and modernity. The city's streets are like a time machine, with majestic old buildings standing tall alongside new ones. One of my favorite spots is the Minato-no-mieru-oka garden, where I enjoy the beauty of the flowers that bloom every season. The stunning night view from a bridge or a viewing deck never fails to take my breath away, especially with great company and a refreshing drink. I know the city's neighborhoods like the back of my hand, including the charming areas around Sakuragicho, Kannai station, and Yamate Street. Yokohama has so much to offer, and I can't wait to share my passion and knowledge with you. Let's explore this vibrant city together, creating unforgettable memories along the way!
