Before we met Hiroko emailed some additional questions to better understand our interests and objectives for the day. We mentioned I was experiencing some mobility issues, for which she adapted the itinerary. When we met in person, we confirmed a strategy and were able to accomplish everything we intended within my limitations. Since we were planning to use public transit during our stay, she helped us purchase the correct transit cards. Since it was our first time in Japan, she offered a quick history of Japan and its culture; along with lots of other tidbits too numerous to list. She matched her pace to ours. It was a perfect day for us. We would certainly use her services again, and enthusiastically recommend her to others.

Our guide Hiroko was exceptional! She was patient, kind, and professionally addressed our questions during our tour. I fell sick during my tour and her compassion and quick response addressing my needs was comforting. Do not think twice about scheduling a tour with her. Hiroko was the best tour guide I have ever experienced!

What 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.
