Overview

The tour is by Sayumi, the Official Kanagawa Tour Guide. Starting from Motomachi-Chukagai station, we will go up to Harbor View Park (by escalator) for the best photoshoot of the port for your Yokohama memory. Visit Yamate Bluff, where the foreign residents stayed after the opening of the port 150 years ago, which keeps its historical view, architectural style, and friendly atmosphere until today. Studio Ghibli's movie "From Up on Poppy Hill" is located here, too, so we will be able to visit some familiar spots from the movie. After having a relaxing teatime at the popular authentic Japanese tea salon, we will explore Motomachi, the original high street built back around the time of the opening of the port, full of unique and fashionable shops best for gifts and souvenirs. The final destination is Sankeien, 20 minutes from Motomachi by bus. You can enjoy the beauty of the traditional Japanese architecture and garden collection that provides every 'chic' from all over Japan.

    This spot is very symbolic place to see how Yokohama started as the first contact point with the international society 150 years ago.

History and nature exploration with a most pleasant personality as your guide

Published on Sep, 2024

Sayumi is wonderful, as she is intelligent, gentle, flexible and efficient. Her growing up in this charming city of Yokohama and her life-long international work experience make her a very special and a pleasant companion for those who'd like to have an insight into the city. She made a timely arrangement for us to experience the special "autumn moon watching" at Sankeien Park. It was simply fantastic -- a beautiful moon and an elegant Japanese traditional music. We were totally excited.

Delightful and interesting tour

Published on Sep, 2024

Sayumi, our tour guide, was clearly an expert in the history of areas she led us through. She answered our questions well and clearly enjoyed her role. She brought us to a tea shop that was a true delight.

I felt like I was experiencing Japan as a local.

Published on Sep, 2024

The tea house was wonderful. So was the transport around the city. Our guide was the best. She was knowledgeable and pleasant.

An Excellent & Unique Experience in Yokohama

Published on Jul, 2024

Our adventure in Yokohama started from a few minute's Yokohama Air Cabin experience, the variety of the architectural style showed the openness & diversity of the city. Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum has satisfied our son's curiosity to science & technology. Lunch at Red Brick Warehouse was a smart advise from our tourguide Horie-san, we could only feel that we needed more than three stomaches each! The afternoon tour to Sankeien Garden was absolutely the best momory for this whole trip, we appreciated Horie-san's advise so much that we had a chance to enjoy the Japanese Gardenning. To get rid of the July heat, Horie-san took us to a beautiful and peaceful place-Hotel New Grand to cool down and tasted our momories of the Sankeien Garden. Our Yokohama tour ended at Ramen Museum, everybody was so happy and satisfied with the famous and delicious Hakata noodles. We'll never forget our tour guide Horie-san who brought us such wonderful experience, you are so sweet and professional, you are the best!
