What Is a Private Yokohama Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Chinatown, Sankeien Garden, and Yamashita Park
The guests came to Japan and were scheduled to return home the following day, and they requested a Yokohama tour, so I guided the group to Yokohama Chinatown, Sankeien Garden, and Yamashita Park. When we met, the guests said they wanted to have lunch in Chinatown, so we headed there first. I guided them to a restaurant on the main street of Chinatown (lunch set 3,000 yen). The restaurant had an upscale, spacious, and quiet atmosphere, the staff were all pleasant, and the guests seemed very satisfied with the delicious Chinese food. I had been worried because there are few buses to Sankeien Garden, but we were able to travel entirely by taxi, which was a great help. They were delighted by the beautiful fresh greenery and the many historic buildings. Several brides in beautiful kimono were also taking photos, which was lovely. (The admission fee was paid by the guests.) At our final stop, Yamashita Park, the many roses were beautiful and magnificent. The guests enjoyed wonderful views of the Bay Bridge, the Hikawa Maru, and the cruise ships at Osanbashi Pier. It was a fun tour with a very friendly group.

Emiko was a wonderful guide. She helped us a lot and it was a
joy to see so much of Tokyo using the metro system with her. The places she took us to visit gave us great views and photos. We thank Emiko for her thoughtfulness, generosity, and kindness.

Wonderful tour giving a great taste of Tokyo. Our tour guide Emiko made sure it was a hassle free day and was very helpful and informative. Would thoroughly recommend her for a tour. Great experience travelling in the metro and trains in Tokyo and visiting the Imperial Palace and gardens and the Asakusa District. Having a great guide made this experience very enjoyable and easy.
