Description
The food in Yokohama is as diverse as the people and culture of this glittering port city. Get ready for a slice of that diversity as you join one of our hosts to eat your way around Yokohama, stopping off at the places where locals really eat. Try dishes like gyunabe, a beef hotpot that originated in Yokohoma, and the locally famous napolitan, a Yokohama-born pasta dish. You could indulge in the Chinatown specialty, Annin soft cream, slurp on the best ramen in town at the Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum or sample beer from a local brewery. Within 24 hours after booking you'll receive a short questionnaire about your personality and interests. Based on your responses, you'll be assigned a like-minded host. Your host will communicate with you directly to suggest an itinerary to help you discover what makes the city unique. You will also agree on a meeting time and place. Your itinerary is flexible, so during the experience, you can always change your mind about what you want to do.

Hiroko was a wonderful tour guide. Her English was outstanding, personable, friendly and knowledgeable. Food selection was perfect with variety of Japanese and Chinese foods. I would highly recommend!

Hiroko was knowledgeable, well prepared and charming! She made our time in Yokohama more fun and all the more memorable! The food we sampled was delicious and Hiroko was very flexible about what we wanted to try. Great Tour!

It sounds like you had a fantastic time exploring the food scene, and we’re glad he was able to cater to your preferences.

I believe there is a disconnect between Viator's description of this tour and what the tour provider [City Unscripted] actually delivers. This tour has very little structure so it is up to the tourist to substantially provide the itinerary. Our guide passed by none of the sites noted in Viator's tour description. But he was friendly, likeable, very accommodating, and spoke English well. So the issue/miscommunication appears to be with Viator and the vendor, City Unscripted.
Hi Brian, I understand how disappointing it was to miss the sights you were expecting, and I’m sorry the day felt unstructured. While we do include a note that the itinerary may vary based on guest preferences, and that the listed stops are just a sample, we can see how that might not have been clear enough upfront. We’re reviewing how this is communicated across platforms to avoid future misunderstandings. I’m glad to hear your host made a positive impression, and we hope to have the chance to create a more aligned and memorable experience for you next time. Warm regards, Ruslan and the City Unscripted team
We had a wonderful time doing a sushi-based tour with Madoka. We went to restaurants we'd never adventure to on our own. Her explanations and guidance will help us for the rest of our trip to Japan. She is a natural teacher who is excellent at explaining things to the clueless. We highly recommend it, and we hope to meet Madoka again.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We're delighted to hear that Madoka made your sushi-based tour such a memorable experience, guiding you to hidden restaurants and providing insights that will be useful for the rest of your trip. It’s wonderful to know that her teaching and explanations made a lasting impact. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope you’ll have the chance to meet Madoka again on another adventure!
Delicious food; friendly guide. We love Japanese food and we had lots of fun eating it on this tour with a guide who really knew her stuff.
Sounds like a perfect experience! There’s nothing better than enjoying authentic Japanese food with a knowledgeable guide who shares your passion. So glad you had fun — hope to host you again for more delicious adventures!
This is a great way to see how the locals eat. Our guide took us off the beeten path offering us great historic facts about the city while sharing resturants and dishes we would have never found. The meals were great and she was able to cater the experiance to what we were looking for.
It’s fantastic that the experience was tailored to your preferences while providing historical insights and amazing meals. This is exactly what we strive for—a unique and authentic journey into the heart of the city.
This was an excellent tour. Martina is an excellent guide and speaks excellent English. She has a tremendous knowledge of Japan and Japanese culture. Thus, besides learning a lot about the sights in Yokohama as we walked around and talked we learned a lot about Japan. The food stops were terrific and provided excellent food and learning about the foods was a real treat. Highly recommend this tour.
We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour with Martina and appreciated her knowledge of Japan and its culture. It’s great that the food stops were both delicious and informative. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back soon!
This is a great way not only to experience the city and its food but learn about Japanese culture. Marta is a superb guide and speaks great English. The food was excellent also.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed exploring Japanese culture and cuisine with Marta – she’ll be so pleased to hear your feedback. Hope to welcome you on another delicious adventure soon!
Our guide Kenji was amazing. He asked us what we wanted to eat and we chose a food that was not on his radar. He did not miss a beat and found a place where we got a very authentic experience and great food. We followed up with a visit to a more conventional casual restaurant where we tried a variety of Japanese specialties. The quail eggs were so cute and so tasty. Kenji ordered and smoothed the way for us everywhere we went and made certain we went home with full tummies.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're thrilled that Kenji provided such a personalized and authentic food adventure, going above and beyond to make sure you enjoyed every moment. It sounds like a delicious and memorable tour!
My friend and I were so lucky to have booked this tour and had Hiroko as our guide. She was so friendly, knowledgeable and fun. We did this tour the day that we landed in Japan and she set the tone for our whole trip. She absolutely went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable in our new surroundings. She made sure that we knew every day Japanese terms and spent some time teaching me the modern Japanese writing system. I definitely would book again with Hiroko and recommend her to my friends that visit the Tokyo area.
We're glad to hear that Hiroko went above and beyond to ensure your comfort and even took the time to teach you everyday Japanese terms and the modern writing system. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable tour with Hiroko in the future!
