Take Tokyo’s neon-lit skyscrapers, Osaka’s laid-back vibe, and Kyoto’s combination of old and new Japan, then mix them all with a fresh ocean breeze: that’s Yokohama.
The city is packed with diverse attractions that put the city on the map (and can’t even be found on a map). But fear not! One of our friendly hosts will help you get to grips with life in Yokohama. Whether it’s coming to terms with navigating the subway or exploring a neighborhood like Chinatown, your host is there to ensure not a second of your vacation goes to waste!
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.

A Day in Tokyo

5.00Hiroko met us at the Yokohama cruise terminal. We only had one day before flying home and asked that we see some highlights. We used a taxi to drive around Yokohama before boarding a train to Tokyo. We saw the beautiful Tokyo station dome. Upon exiting the station, there was a formal procession in front of the Tokyo station hotel where the South Korean ambassador was arriving. How exciting. As this was a Monday, the Imperial Palace was closed. We went to Nakamise-Dori Street where traditional souvenirs and snacks are sold. This is the main entrance to the beautiful Sensoji Temple. We asked Hiroko to take us to a traditional Japanese restaurant where we enjoyed a delicious lunch. The menus have pictures and in English. This whole area was entertaining and gave us a glimpse of the Japanese culture. We returned to Yokohama by train. We were impressed by the cleanliness of everything. The Japanese people are very polite and well mannered. What a good example for the world. Being that we only had six hours, Hiroko made the most of this short time. She was very friendly, informative and we would highly recommend her services.
Great guide to see the city!

4.00Tommy was a perfect host in Yokohama. He was very personable and interesting to talk to. Unfortunately, I wasn’t prepared for so much walking with my arthritic knees, but Tommy was considerate in finding me places to sit along the way. I was relieved to have Tommy take the lead in what seemed like a complicated subway system. I really enjoyed the tour. He gentlemanly returned me to the hotel and helped with check-in. I was happy to have met him.
Excellent Walking Tour Guide and Experience
