The best private food tours & experiences with locals

Planning a trip to Yokohama? You’re in for a lip-smacking local food scene. Yokohama was one of the first cities in Japan to welcome western travelers, and the result of this can be seen first-hand in the internationally influenced culinary culture. With a food-loving local leading the way, you’ll explore the city’s diverse food scene on the ultimate Yokohama food tours. Experience the internationalized history at locations like the sprawling 160-year-old Chinatown and beef hotpot restaurants that have been around since the 1800s, and get a taste of the sophisticated modern food trends at futuristic Minato Mirai along the waterfront. Food tours of Yokohama have it all!

Yokohama food tours to your taste

With a local guide by your side every step of the way, you’ll explore some of the most food-obsessed areas of the city on our food tours of Yokohama. No matter what type of food you’re into – sweet, sour, or savory – you can trust your host to recommend delicious dishes suited to your palate. Even better? Your helpful host can translate, order, and explain any dish on any menu, whether you’re at a street food stall in Chinatown or a tiny restaurant hidden down an alley in the downtown area. If there’s one thing you can be sure of, it’s that our Yokohama food tours are tailored to you.

Taste local specialties

When you think of iconic Japanese food cities, Yokohama probably doesn’t make the list. But food tours of Yokohama with City Unscripted will show you just how much of a culinary powerhouse the city is. All it takes is the local favorite of crunchy, breadcrumb-battered mackerel with an ice-cold beer to sell you on the city’s food culture. Our food tours in Yokohama give you the opportunity to taste Yokohama staples like Gyunabe (a hearty beef hotpot), pork- or beef-filled Chinese dumplings, slurpy soup noodles, and fragrant cherry-blossom flavored ice-cream. What could be better than that?

Explore famous food areas

Food tours in Yokohama with us are as much about exploring the city as they are about tasting the food! We’ll make sure you squeeze in some sightseeing while getting an authentic snapshot (and a practical, hands-on experience) of Yokohama’s culinary culture. We’ll take you to areas like lantern-lit Noge, an old-school entertainment hub lined with wood-built izakaya and tiny eateries, along the city’s festive eastern bay. You’ll also get to see the world-renowned Chinatown – the biggest in Japan – where over 600 stalls sell trinkets, souvenirs and spectacular street food.

Latest reviews from our guests

We had a wonderful 4 hour tour with our guide Estela covering as many of the main attractions of the city as we could driving the time we had. Thoroughly enjoyed our day- the waterfront area, the spectacular garden show going on, other gardens throughout the city, Chinatown, shopping areas and other sights we were able to get to! Enjoyed learning the history of some of the buildings and areas. Highly recommend this tour and our very sweet and awesome tour guide!

Our tour was a wonderful introduction to Yokohama. Our guide, Mr. Hiroshi Kawano, was in contact with us prior to tour date and we planned our chosen itinerary together. The restaurant suggested for lunch was another perfect and unique taste of sashimi, sushi and more that we will remember forever! Food is a very big part of travel to different countries and our walk and tastings in the local market was perfect.
