This is a tour that allows you to get a feel for Yokohama and make it a memorable trip, rather than visiting each famous spot quickly. At the time of Perry's arrival, Yokohama was a small, semi-fishing, semi-farming town of 100 households, but it has developed as a gateway to foreign countries and is now the largest city in Japan. The Minato Mirai area continues to evolve as a tourist destination, including the Red Brick Warehouse, Zou-no-hana Park, Hammerhead, and Air Cabin. As for food, there are many products that originated in Yokohama, such as bread, gyu-nabe, ice cream, and Neapolitan, and there are many shops that have been in business for over 100 years. Above all, the world's largest Chinatown highlights Yokohama's unique character. Yamashita Park, Nihon Odori, and Minato Mirai have also become filming locations for TV and movies. Therefore, people of all generations feel some kind of familiarity with Yokohama.

We will visit the locations where TV dramas were filmed. Enjoy the scenery and gourmet food of Yokohama! When walking around Yokohama, you often come across scenery that makes you want to take a photo. Even though I have lived in Yokohama for 30 years, I still feel that way. Not only does the scenery change with the seasons, but the scenery under the clear blue sky throughout the day, and the sunset scenery that changes from yellow to orange to deep blue. New buildings are being built one after another, while buildings reminiscent of the Meiji era remain. Yokohama has many spots that are perfect as backgrounds for dramas and movies with various themes. Visit the locations of recent TV dramas to feel closer to the dramas. It is also fun to imagine what scenery you would use as the background for a drama. And since it is the place where bread and ice cream were first introduced to Japan, and the city where tonkatsu, Neapolitan, and pudding a la mode were invented, I would like to enjoy the flavors that have been passed down. You can also enjoy eating your way around one of the world's largest Chinatowns, so please enjoy the wonderfulness of Yokohama not only with your eyes but also with your tongue. We will visit the filming locations, but have lunch at a popular restaurant to provide you with the best tour possible.

Neriko is a black pill-shaped incense that was widely used during the Heian period. In The Tale of Genji, there is a scene in which Hikaru Genji, Murasaki no Ue, and other characters are actually created and evaluated, and it is still known as one of the Six Kinds of Kaorumono. It is also used in front of the charcoal in winter during tea ceremonies. Nerika is not something to be used at room temperature, but rather to be warmed to enjoy its aroma. We placed lit charcoal in an incense burner filled with ashes, placed incense sticks on top of the warmed ashes, and enjoyed the scent that wafted through the air. Enjoy the relaxing time and space as the charcoal warms the ashes, along with the scent. It is also recommended before welcoming guests. We have boxes and bags for you to take home, as well as charcoal and incense burner ash for you to use at home.

Create your own original incense paste using only natural incense ingredients such as powdered sandalwood, dragon brain, and clove! Zuko is a powdered incense that monks apply on their palms as a purifying scent in Buddhism. Among the Japanese scents that are used by transferring the scent to something, it is the only one that can be applied directly to the body. In ancient times, people used to collect the first morning dew that had accumulated on lotus leaves, mix sandalwood with the water, and apply it to their bodies. Unlike liquid scents, it is a powder type, so it has low volatility and does not easily diffuse into the surrounding area, making it a convenient scent that can be used without being noticed by those around you. Recommended for relaxing between work. Also, since you only need to use a small amount and don't apply too much, this item is perfect for those who can't get a strong scent in a place where there are people, but still want to add something. *Some sects, such as Zen Buddhism, do not use incense.
