How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
During the cherry blossom season, Yokohama transforms into something from a fairytale. Seaside promenades become blanketed in petals as thousands of sakura trees burst into bloom. The promise of new beginnings is breathed into the city as locals celebrate at hanami (cherry blossom viewing) parties.
You might lay out a picnic of exciting snacks from an unassuming konbini convenience store on the lawns of Negishi Forest Park, or maybe you’ll join the crowds at stunning Sankeien. This tranquil Japanese-style garden houses several historic buildings across Japan and 300 trees. Or, if you’re keen to move away from the busy city center, over 1000 trees await a train ride away at Mitsuike Park, one of Japan’s top hanami locations.

We enjoyed a wonderfully wet visit to Yokohama. Our terrific guide was so flexible and accommodating given the weather, our time constraint and the fact it was a holiday. Her follow up to discussions and our difficulties navigating the area was so helpful. We would definitely hire her again.

This was an excellent tour that I would highly recommend to anyone who is visiting Yokohama. Madoka was an excellent host with a wealth of local knowledge who introduced us to a number of dishes unique to Japan. It was a very pleasurable afternoon /evening that we'll remember well into the future.

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.
