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?

Reviews

    Aslin messaged me and my dad in advance to find out what we were looking for, what kinds of foods we wanted to try, allergies/dislikes, etc. We tried 7 or 8 different foods and drinks, and they were all delicious. Aslin knew that we don't like very spicy foods so she was able to order one of the quintessential Singaporean foods, Laksa, without all of the added spice. She was friendly, personable, and very helpful in answering questions we had about Singapore. She met us in front of our hotel because we had just arrived in Singapore and were not familiar with the area and the metro system. All in all, it was one of the best tours I've ever taken and I would highly recommend it.
