Let us show you Yokohama Chinatown, Japan's largest, is located in central Yokohama. The vibrant streets are filled with Chinese stores and restaurants, offering a lively atmosphere. Various events, including Chinese New Year celebrations, take place here throughout the year.
Let's go together to the highest observation deck in Yokohama is accessible via Japan’s fastest elevator, reaching the 69th floor in under 40 seconds. Enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of the city, stretching to Tokyo and Mt. Fuji on clear days. The view is particularly stunning at night.
Come with us and stroll through the Sankeien is a Japanese-style garden in southern Yokohama, featuring historic buildings, a pond, rivers, flowers, and scenic trails that evokes the feel of Kyoto.
Take a wander around Yamashita Park, which is a 750-meter-long public park along Yokohama’s waterfront, featuring open green space about 100 meters wide. It was built after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923. You will also see the ocean liner Hikawa Maru from there!
Our guide can also show you the Sakuragicho area and information center too. It is a popular gathering spot in Yokohama for dining and entertainment, and a great starting point for exploring the city’s downtown area.
The Yokohama Red Brick House was originally the Customs Inspection House for Yokohama Bay’s shipping activities in the 1920s, these red brick buildings are now a popular spot for families and couples. Inside, you’ll find unique shops and restaurants, while the outside hosts various events throughout the year.

This was a perfect activity for our first day in Japan. Claudia was great. We really enjoyed Chinatown and the waterfront area
A family from America, who just arrived from the States and wanted to go on a cruise tour around japan booked me, for few hours walking around Yokohama. The family enjoyed Yokohama very well. From China Town, Motomachi Shopping Street, Minatono oka mieru kouen, Yamashita Park to Akarenga we walked. I wish for the family a nice trip in Japan!
Excellent introduction to Yokohama visiting some key sights and getting the lay of the land to be able to come back to later in more depth. Chris and Freebird were professional, personable, and accommodating. Very glad we did it!
A great tour with Abir. She was very friendly and happy to chat with us about life in Yokohama. We particularly enjoyed visiting ChinaTown and the gardens. We would highly recommend a tour with Abir.
Japan is a absolute amazing country and the culture and food is great. The people are very helpful and friendly. We will definitely be going back again.
Brian was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable and shared many anecdotes and facts about the area. He has a very personal demeanor and truly provided a comfortable experience. 5 ⭐ guide.
Our guise Masa was great. It was like having a friend show you around town. The walk was customized as we went making it comfortable and interesting.
Yokohama is a lovely city. A great alternative to bustling Tokyo. Less crowded and a beautiful waterfront park and wonderful China town. We look forward to going to the Sankeien Gardens today. Our guide did not offer to go there on our tour. He felt that it was too far away. Our guide was very friendly and gave us a good tour but the Sankeien Gardens was my top pick of places to see so, I was disappointed we didn't go there but we will take taxi today and have more time to enjoy it.
Aya did a nice job showing us a few highlights and gardens in Yokohama. What a nice afternoon. Thank you !
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We were just so happy to show you the city that we love, and Aya is just a wonderful guide. Please come and see us again soon; we would love to see you again. Thank you again!
