This is Yokohama guide tour by car. I'm not sure how many other guides mention the summer in Japan is so hot and worse than you can imagine. Yokohama is the 2nd biggest city in Japan, with 3.8 million population. It's one of the popular areas for Japanese to live or stay. It's also one major port cities in Japan. You can see the traditional & modern arctectures in Yokohama area. I'll be responsible for everything from hotel pick-up, transportation to each point, and transportation to your hotel.
This itinerary can be customized to meet your needs and preferences. Send me a message with your requests!
Meeting Point
your hotel or any place you want in Tokyo
Red Brick Warehouse
Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is a key part of the scenery along the shores of Yokohama Port. the Customs Inspection House for Yokohama Bay's shipping activities in the early 1920's, these handsome red brick buildings have been converted into one of Yokohama's most popular family or date spots.
Chinatown
Yokohama Chinatown is the biggest Chinatown in Japan. A large number of Chinese stores and restaurants can be found in the narrow and colorful streets of Chinatown. It is a good place to have lunch if you like Chinese food.
Yamashita Park
Yamashita Park is a public park that stretches about 750 meters along Yokohama's waterfront, Bay area. It was founded in 1930 by filling the area with the debris of the great Kanto earthquake opened.
Hikawamaru
The Hikawa Maru was a cargo and passenger ship that crossed the Pacific Ocean on the Japan-Seattle route on the North American route for about 30 years starting in 1930. In 2016, she was designated as a national important cultural property as the only existing cargo-passenger ship built in pre-war Japan.
Sankeien
Sankeien is one of the famous Japanese gardens in Japan. There is a pond, small rivers, flowers and wonderful scrolling trails that make you think you are in Kyoto. Not only foreign tourists, but many Japanese also love this garden.
Landmark Tower
Landmark Tower is one of the most recognizable features of Yokohama’s bayside skyline. At just over 296 meters tall, it is the second tallest building in Japan. The top floor, named Sky Garden, offers you incredible 360-degree panoramic views of the city, Yokohama Port, Tokyo Bay, Tokyo City, and Mount Fuji on clear days.
Noge / Koganecho
After dark in Yokohama, I recommend the Noge area in Naka-ku, Yokohama. You can feel the retro atmosphere in the cityscape, which is packed with everything from old Japanese bars to various cafes, bars, and clubs. Koganecho has residences where many artists gather, and you can enjoy young Japanese art works this area.

“Osaka visit via Bullet Train from Tokyo ”
Yuki did excellent job. He got us from our hotel and navigated the Shinkansen (bullet train) station for us and got us to Osaka safely which was a fun adventure in itself. Then he gave us a great tour of Osaka (Dotombori area and more) and returned us safely Absolutely outstanding. Being in our seventies, he took such good care of us. highly recommend him!!!!!!

Thank you for your review, Stan san ! Once again, happy birthday for your 70th birthday & 50th wedding anniversary!!! I felt like I was traveling with my parents. And I am really proud of your action that try to communicate with locals in Japanese you just studied by yourself. You have faced death and overcame the greatest surgery, so you can feel the importance of life & joy. I learned a lot from you in the short time I spent with you. Please continue to spend a wonderful time with your lovely wife, Rosemary!!!

“A Truly Exceptional Experience”
We had the absolute pleasure of exploring Tokyo with one of the most outstanding guides we've ever met. From the moment we met, he was incredibly flexible, adjusting the itinerary to suit our pace and interests. His caring nature made us feel welcomed and looked after throughout the entire experience. What truly set him apart was his ability to show us hidden gems—charming local eateries. He also made sure we didn’t miss the best-known highlights of Tokyo, weaving them seamlessly into our journey. Thanks to him, we experienced Tokyo not just as tourists, but as curious travelers discovering the soul of the city. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a guide who is knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty of Tokyo!

Thank you for your wonderful review !! I really appreciate it. It can be difficult to guide people around Tokyo in the heat of the Japanese summer. I'm glad that you were able to enjoy Tokyo despite the circumstances. Tokyo is crowded with tourists, but if you go down a back street you'll find spaces where locals gather. I'm sure Kyoto and Osaka are even hotter, but I hope you'll experience Japanese culture and people there !! I hope to see you again someday here or in your country !!

“Wonderful Guide!”
Yuji was very responsive to messages before the tour. He showed up early at our meeting spot. He is friendly, funny and very knowledgeable about Tokyo’s history, culture and scene. He tailored our tour to meet our needs and kindly helped me out in a pharmacy. Yuji spent years in the states and has had an interesting journey. Great guide and great person. Highly recommend Yuji and this tour.
