Choose meeting point: When you come from Tokyo by a train, let’s meet in front of "Colette Mare" near Sakuragicho Station OR at the Osanbashi Pier taxi stand. Please choose one of meeting points in advance. If you stay at a hotel around Minatomirai and Yamashita area, we pick you up in front of the hotel. Please select 3 options from the itinerary, and we’ll decide the order on the day based on the weather.

Please select 3 options from the itinerary, and we’ll decide the order on the day based on the weather. Osanbashi Pier is one of the historic ports where Japan first opened to the world, and it has played an important role in Yokohama’s development as an international harbor. The rooftop features a wide wooden deck that creates an open space, giving visitors the feeling of standing on a ship floating on the sea. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of Minato Mirai’s skyline, the Red Brick Warehouse, and the Yokohama Bay Bridge, making it a popular viewing spot both during the day and at night. The pier is designed with gentle slopes and ramps, making it easily accessible for wheelchair users and strollers. Its flowing architecture blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, and it is highly regarded both in Japan and internationally as a building that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. On clear days, visitors can even see Tokyo Skytree!

Option: The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is a lively cultural landmark where history and modern life come together. Built in the early 20th century, the warehouses supported port logistics and international trade, and survived both the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II. Their strong red-brick structures remain as symbols of Yokohama’s resilience and modernization. Today, the restored buildings house stylish cafés, restaurants, and shops. The open waterfront plaza hosts seasonal events and markets, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the year. With views of the sea and the Minato Mirai skyline, it is also one of Yokohama’s most popular photo spots, loved by visitors day and night.

Option: Yamashita Park is a beautiful waterfront park that represents Yokohama’s history and seaside charm. Opened in 1930 after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was built on reclaimed land as a symbol of recovery. Visitors can relax on harbor-facing benches, enjoy views of the sea, and see the historic Hikawa Maru, a ship once used on the Seattle route. The Rose Garden, filled with roses linked to Yokohama’s sister cities, blooms in spring and autumn, making the park a popular and photogenic spot. On a nice day, we can go on a picnic and enjoy local foods such as bread and bento.

Option: Yokohama Chinatown is the largest Chinatown in Japan and one of the biggest in the world. It was established in the 19th century, when Yokohama Port opened and many Chinese merchants settled in the area. Today, it is a vibrant district filled with hundreds of restaurants, food stalls, and shops. You can enjoy a wide variety of authentic Chinese cuisine, such as dim sum, ramen, and steamed buns, as well as colorful traditional gates and temples. It is a popular sightseeing spot where visitors can experience lively streets, delicious food, and a unique mix of Chinese and Japanese culture.

Option: Iseyama Kotaijingu Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess, who is regarded as the most revered deity in Japan and is the same deity worshipped at Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto shrine in the country. Because of this, the shrine is often referred to as “the Ise Shrine of the Kanto region,” and many people visit it to receive the same spiritual blessings without traveling all the way to Ise. The shrine is located on a hilltop, offering a pleasant open atmosphere and panoramic views of Yokohama, which adds to its calm and refreshing ambiance. Unlike many major tourist sites, the shrine is usually quiet and uncrowded, making it an ideal place for visitors to experience traditional Japanese culture, enjoy a peaceful moment, and feel a strong sense of harmony between history, nature, and the modern city.

Option: Motomachi is one of Yokohama's most charming and historic shopping streets. It developed after Yokohama Port opened in 1859, when many foreign residents settled in the nearby Yamate district. Today, the street is lined with stylish boutiques, cafés, bakeries, and long-established local shops. It is a great place to enjoy shopping, sample local sweets, and experience a relaxed atmosphere away from the crowds.

Option: Advance reservations are required for entry. Therefore, this option is only available if reservation slots are open. The museum is closed every Tuesday. You can design your own cup and choose your favorite soup base and toppings to create a unique, personalized ramen.

Sankeien Garden is one of Yokohama’s hidden gems. It’s a beautiful traditional Japanese garden, but it’s much more than just a garden. The vast grounds are home to historic Japanese buildings that were relocated from places such as Kyoto and Kamakura, including an impressive three-story pagoda. Some of these buildings are designated as Important Cultural Properties of Japan. From central Yokohama, it can take around 50 minutes by bus, plus a short walk. By car, we can get there in about 20 minutes, so we can spend less time on transportation and more time actually enjoying the garden. If you choose the Garden, you can choose one or two other locations from the itinerary because of the time constraints. The admission fee（900yen）is not included in the tour price.

If you choose the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum, you can choose one or two other locations from the itinerary because of the time constraints. I would not recommend combining it with Sankeien Garden, as they are quite far from each other. Traveling between the two would take about two hours round trip. The admission fee and the cost of the ramen are not included in the tour price.

Option: Shopping assistance From 100-yen shops to Denim jeans stores and cosmetic shops I can take you on a fun and flexible shopping tour in Yokohama. If you already have places you would like to visit or specific brands you are interested in, I will guide you there and assist you with shopping, including explanations of products and help with communication in English. This is a fully customizable experience, so we can enjoy a relaxed and enjoyable shopping journey together based on your interests.
