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?

    We had a free evening in Fukuoka and Luis Matos was able to make the most of it for us. He had true local knowledge and escorted us around to wonderful places that were not typical tourist spots. Very responsive and fun. Really a special evening enjoying the sights, culture, and food of Fukuoka.

    Kenya was a great host. We did an evening tour & he showed us around the city, parks & temples which were beautiful. We had two younger children which he kept interested and incorporated their interests as well. We all had a great time. Kenya spoke fluent English & was extremely knowledgeable we highly recommend.
