My recommendation is 4 places; Minato-Mirai area, Yamashita park, China town and Yamate, Motomachi area. 

Hi-light of this tour

1. Sankei-En garden
    This garden was originally build by a very successful silk business man as his own house. However after he built it, he opened most of    
    places for public and now it is owned by Yokohama city.  Uniquness of this garden is many buildings were moved from other area in 
    Japan including Kyoto. Therefore garden was built about 100 years ago while some buildings are 400 years old. Therefore you can feel 
    traditional Japan in Yokohama. 

2. Minato-Mirai area
    This area is newly developed one and a lot of offices and shopping malls locate. But there are Yokohama art museum, Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial museum 
    and the tallest building in Yokohama called Landmark tower. In front of Landmark tower, Yokohama port museum and Sail training ship NIppon-maru are. 

3. Aka-Renga ( Old storage warehouse) area
    This area was renovated from bonded warehouse to shopping and restaurant building. A lot of events are taken place from time to time. If you are lucky, you can 
    enjoy unexpected activity.

4. Big pier area
    There is one of the biggest in Japan cruise ship terminal pier. Top of this pier is covered by lawn and in sunny day, you can enjoy nice view of cruise ship and 
    nice view of port of  Yokohama

5. Yamashita park/ Hikawa-maru
     This park locates along with Yokohama-bay. it about half mile long. In spring and autumn, rose season, city of Yokohama conducts rose contest and everybody 
     can enjoy it. In other seasons, always flowers welcome visitors. This is the place people can relax and feel Yokohama as a harbor town.  
     Hikawa-maru locates at south-end of Yamashita-park. It is a ship and used to traveled between Japan and  US. Now it is opened as a museum relating to ships.

6. Kannai area
    In this area, there are many historical buildings and museums. Most of the buildings are still in use. Customers can touch feeling of old   
    Yokohama and lear it at museums.

7. China town
    This section is always crowded by visitors. There are many Chinese restaurants and souvenir shops. Recently a famous Sushi restaurant
    was opened. 
    You can enjoy mainly Chinese cuisine. Price is various; from $8 to $100/ person. 

8. Yamate and Motomachi area
    At Yamate area, there are many old residential houses. Customer may feel as if he was in small town of United state back to 19th century. 
   Motomachi is a fashionable shopping area which also has 19th century atmosphere. It is not a big shopping mall and small size stores are along a street . 
   Also, St. Patrick's day parade and halloween parade is take place every year. 



    




    



Delightful Yokohama　One day

You can take your time at taking pictures of yellow canolas and daffodils, the sea view and hopefully, the huge Mt. Fuji.
You don't need to travel all the way to Hakone.  Even at Hakone the surrounding mountains will block the view of Mt. Fuji until you get up to Lake Ashi.

Detouring to Shinyokohama Ramen Museum, you can try some ramens from all over Japan, which makes you warm.
