Tour description
Yokohama is Japan's second-largest city and its historic gateway to the world, the port where Japan first opened to foreign trade in the 19th century. Today it blends a futuristic waterfront with historic districts and the largest Chinatown in Japan. On this walking tour a local guide reveals its history and energy.
You will stroll the striking Minato Mirai waterfront, visit the historic red-brick warehouses, and wander the lively Chinatown. Along the way you will hear about the opening of Japan and the port's cosmopolitan history. Modern and historic, Yokohama is a rewarding city to explore on foot.
