Guided History & Nature Exploration in the Yokohama Hill Area

About this activity

The tour is by Sayumi, the Official Kanagawa Tour Guide. Starting from Motomachi-Chukagai station, we will go up to Harbor View Park (by escalator) for the best photoshoot of the port for your Yokohama memory. Visit Yamate Bluff, where the foreign residents stayed after the opening of the port 170 years ago, which keeps its historical view, architectural style, and friendly atmosphere until today. Studio Ghibli's movie "From Up on Poppy Hill" is located here, too, so we will be able to visit some familiar spots from the movie. After having a relaxing tea time at the popular tea salon, we will explore Motomachi, the original high street built back around the time of the opening of the port, full of unique and fashionable shops best for gifts and souvenirs. The final destination is Sankeien, 20 minutes from Motomachi by bus. You can enjoy the beauty of the traditional Japanese architecture and garden collection that provides every 'chic' from all over Japan.
