Private Yokohama Tour - History, Culture and Food

Yokohama is an incredible waterside port city steeped in history and packed with fun attractions. Only 45 minutes from Tokyo a day trip to Yokohama is a must-do. This Yokohama tour is a carefully curated mix of history, culture and food.

Over the course of this full-day tour, you will explore Yokohama through the eyes of the immigrants who arrived into Japan, through the port in the mid-1800s.

This private tour includes a boat ride around the harbour, a visit to the historic Hikawa Maru (early Japanese ocean liner) and a traditional Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.

In addition, you will explore Yamate Hill, a residential district where the early western settlers lived, and Minato Mirai; the waterfront district home to the Red Brick Warehouse, a boutique shopping outlet where we can pick up some unique souvenirs.
