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
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?

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.

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.
