What you’ll do

Take Tokyo’s neon-lit skyscrapers, Osaka’s laidback vibe, and Kyoto’s combination of old and new Japan, then mix them all with a fresh ocean breeze: that’s Yokohama. From a historical port to the colorful Unko – er, poop – Museum, Yokohama is packed with diverse attractions that put the city on the map (and can’t even be found on a map).

But luckily for you, your host knows where to find both! From massive shopping complexes and the Cosmo World amusement park to the secret alleys at the ground levels of the Yokohama Landmark Tower, the central hub can get dizzying. And when you’ve had enough of ultra-modern, ancient Japan is just a train ride away in seaside Kamakura, home to the tranquil Kōtoku-in temple and its iconic Great Buddha.

Reviews

    Our tour was a wonderful introduction to Yokohama. Our guide, Mr. Hiroshi Kawano, was in contact with us prior to tour date and we planned our chosen itinerary together. The restaurant suggested for lunch was another perfect and unique taste of sashimi, sushi and more that we will remember forever! Food is a very big part of travel to different countries and our walk and tastings in the local market was perfect.

    Martina did a great job of recommending places to see. The proposed path was much more interesting than if we would have stayed in the original plan. Good lunch, excellent site seeing, good conversation. Thank you Martina!

    My wife and I had a terrific day with Yuki touring Yokohama and Tokyo. Not being able to read or speak any Japanese, spending at time with a real local helped us see so many more things that would have been possible otherwise. We took many trains to see some of the lesser known attractions and had we try do that on our own, it would have taken 3 days versus 1 full day. My wife and I couldn't have had a better more enjoyable day.

    She took the time to get to know us, and with the correspondence leading up to the tour, was able to tailor our tour to what we were looking for. Included a very detailed walking tour highlighting a mixture of urban and historical sides to Yokohama. Ending with a local "craft" sake tasting.
