Yokohama tour from Tokyo by car
Joined 2024
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.

Meeting Point

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.

Reviews
“Tokyo to Yokohama City & back!!”
We travelled by car to Yokohama the ‘Creative City’. It’s a vibrant City which supports creatives with its affordable studio space, street art & eclectic programme of festivals & events, ‘Fringe’ festival was underway & we chatted with the organiser over coffee at YPAM Fringe Centre. Yuji made the trip truly memorable as he’d arranged for me to meet with young creatives in college. They shared their ideas, aspirations & dreams; it was such a privilege. We had a guided tour of this super facility by the Professor, we talked to the teachers & saw students work on display. It was brilliant. Walking through the City was a quiet & calm experience. Traffic is restricted & bicycles are a popular choice. There was so much to see; Yokohama Bay with its redbrick warehouse getting ready for Xmas! Looking in the cool galleries & workshops in the creatives hub. Delicious sea food in a local sushi restaurant was our lunch stop. Which included octopus! Ordering from the tasty menu, seeing food being created & passing before my eyes was such fun! Talking to people was a chance to make comparisons: Yokohama City & Tokyo each have their own style identity & unique qualities. Yuji was so generous in sharing the story of his role in Yokohama becoming ‘Creative City’ enabling the City Councillors to realise their vision supporting creatives & attracting international investment….& he was my guide for the day! How lucky am I.

Thank you for review, Helen san. I am so glad that you enjoyed your first stay in Tokyo. Even as a guide I really enjoyed seeing you had opportunities to talk with Japanese people in train, school and other places. I am hoping to see you again here or there someday. Please, take care of yourself !!
“Unique Tokyo such fun ”
Lucky me having Yuji as my guide to discover the unique city of Tokyo. We used the trains & buses to get around, always on time & spotlessly clean. We walked the vibrate streets, each with their own character, crossing safely with time to look & take in the happenings! Ginza, the Golden Gai, Shibuya, & Takeshita street, totally adorable, & everywhere in between. Got high on the feeling of peace & tranquility in a Japanese garden nestled in the modern city. Enjoying the autumn colours whilst drinking tea Japanese style. Experienced the famous & emerging sights that make Japan so special; kabuki theatres, the Meiji Shinto Shrine, fish markets. Glimpsed the innovative 3D advertising in Godzilla Street & Shinjuku. Had my photo taken in Akihabara standing next to manga favourites! and saw the work of the musical artist Mayea Deki! Awesome. Yuji guided me through some of the creative works on display: the sculpture & paintings of Taro displayed in his home & workshop(Okamoto memorial museum). Nezu Kaichiro’s collection (Nezu Museum) situated in a glorious garden. Trendy eyewear in the Omote Sandi Hills building. The stunning woodblock prints of Hiroshige & Hokusai, genius. The Suginami Animation Museum with the signatures of the creatives, anime 3D models & film. Enjoying the distinctive Japanese dishes reading from 3D menu’s & the quirky cool coffee places. Just a flavour of my time in Tokyo with Yuji; creating treasured memories.

Thank you for your review, Helen san. I also enjoyed I guided you for 3 days. I was so surprised at how energetic and active you are compared to people your age.Please, remind Japan when you see the photos I took, and bit about me, haha. We may see again here, philippine, or Bali someday!!!
“The best of the best”
Yuji is the best, hands down. Kindest, most accommodating and caring human with a great sense of humor and inspiring outlook on life. Yuji has so much experience in so many wonderful things that making conversation is easy with him- my trip was very different. We visited isolated places neither of us had been before and we experienced a lot of firsts together- and I simply wouldn’t have had it any other way. I could 100 percent count on Yuji and rely on him to keep us safe and always having fun. We met so many locals and because he is so charismatic we made so many friends! I know Yuji-san is forever my friend now and when I arrive in my new home in Japan next year Yuji-san is coming to my house warming party. He’s stylish and cool and has your best interest at heart and mind. I wouldn’t trade my experience with Yuji-san for anything. Thanks for everything Yuji-san!!

Thank you for your review. The destination of this tour is a place where even Japanese people have only a 50% chance of landing. I'm glad we were able to land safely. I'm glad that you were able to interact with many local people. And thank you for giving me the opportunity to have a first-time experience with you, Hope san. I hope this tour will lead to your next path. I hope to see you again!
