What you'll do

As one of the first Japanese ports open to foreigners, Yokohama boasts a richly internationalized history – and a long list of attractions. Luckily, with a local host to plot your route, you’ll tick off at least 10 of the most important items!

Whizzing up Japan’s fastest elevator in Yokohama Landmark Tower and strolling along the lit-up Kishamichi Promenade, sakura (cherry blossom) ice cream in hand, are unmissable experiences, while the historic Sankei-en Garden and Yamate – a district lined with Western mansions from the 1920s – reveal secret stories of the city’s fascinating past.

When hunger strikes, Yokohama’s hearty gyunabe hotpot is always a winner, but why not mix your very own instant ramen soup at the interactive Cupnoodles Museum?

Where you’ll go

You’ll see a brilliantly diverse selection of the city’s most iconic districts along the buzzing eastern bay of Yokohama. A view of the futuristic Minato Mirai skyline is unmissable, but did you know it’s best admired from Ōsanbashi Pier? Just a 10-minute walk away, see the century-old Red Brick Warehouse that now houses artisanal stores and sophisticated galleries, then head further south to the vibrant shops of Japan’s largest Chinatown.

Five miles north of the city center, stop off for a freshly brewed cold one at the famous Kirin Beer Village (one of Japan’s first and largest major commercial breweries), or head to the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum – a giant food hall dedicated to one of Japan’s most legendary culinary contributions.
