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
Yokohama’s internationalized history has given the city many contrasting sides – from the futuristic bayside to the historical “old towns” of Kannai to the perfectly preserved shrines and temples of Sankei-en Garden. And with just four hours and a local insider, you’ll experience more of these sides than you knew existed.
Whether you walk down lantern-lit Noge’s narrow alleys to a cozy izakaya serving Yokohama’s famous Kirin beer and breadcrumb-battered aji furai (mackerel), stop off at the Yokohama Noh Theater for an impressive production of traditional Japanese performing arts, or simply gawk at giant shopping complexes in the fast-paced downtown districts, you’ll soon see why this city must be experienced to be understood.

Madoka was charming and interesting and she created the perfect experience for us. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide to spend the day with. The sights and the history were matched only by the very special vintage fashion she took us to see. She knew exactly where to find unique and special bags for a great price and in excellent condition! She brought us to favorite local spots for delicious food and it was just the perfect day. We are so grateful to Madoka for a wonderful experience in Yokohama!!

We enjoyed our tour with Amito. One thing that really helped was that his English was great. We let him pick the itinerary because we knew nothing, and he did a good job. We especially enjoyed his help with getting the best dumplings in Chinatown!

Amito had great English, so that helped us a lot. He was very talkative and interesting and did a great job immersing us in the culture and experiences in Yokohama. We loved that he took us to the best dumpling street food restaurant in Chinatown!

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.
