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.

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.
