What Is a Yokohama Port Shore Excursion Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Sankeien Garden and Chinatown
This was a Yokohama port shore excursion for guests visiting from North America. At Sankeien Garden, the guests enjoyed the seasonal flowers and fresh greenery while attentively touring the traditional Japanese-style houses and their construction. In Yokohama Chinatown, the guests wished to focus on sightseeing rather than dining, so I explained the differences between the Guan Yu Temple, the Mazu Temple, and Japanese temples and shrines. Afterward, the guests wanted to ride the subway, so we boarded it, and they were impressed by the cleanliness of the stations and the trains. At the Red Brick Warehouse, they had lunch, and since they wished to do some shopping and take a stroll before heading back, we parted ways there.

Hello, I’m Yukie Tachibana, national licensed tour guide living in Yokohama with my family. Please call me Yuki. I have been working as a tour guide for 5years mainly around Tokyo, Kanagawa, for example, Hakone, Kamakura, Yokohama and Kawasaki. I have had an experience of attending a lot of foreign visitors from all over the world in both private and group tours for sightseeing and business in one to multi-days. I’m able to arrange the tour for you, so please feel free to ask me your favorite plan in Japan as to spot, food and some activities. I like to see Buddhist statues in temples so I’d like to introduce our history and culture. Also because I like Japanese animation and character, and animals, I can take you to some shops for the animation and animal cafes that are so popular among tourists. Looking forward to seeing you soon and share wonderful time in Japan! Thank you.

Tokyo in a day from Yokohama
We had a great experience on May 1 with our guide Yukie Tachibana. She was very friendly
and provided excellent service and history of the sites we visited in Tokyo. She was great at
navigating the city using the train system.

Yuki was awesome. She reached out right after we made our reservation, inquired about our interests and provided a customized itinerary. She guided us to six different venues using public transportation over the course of six hours and was very professional, flexible and informative. I highly recommend her services especially for first time visitors.
