Day 1 - Yokohama’s Epoch of History

Kickstart your day with a visit to the Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, a charming historical building that houses a myriad of shops and eateries.

The city's lights reflected on the water surface would make for a stunning end to your exciting day.

Day 2 - Sightseeing & Food Fiesta

Day two starts with a trip to the spellbinding Sankeien Garden - a traditional Japanese garden that gives a glimpse into the country’s profound culture. Submerse yourself in the tranquility of nature and the aesthetic beauty of its ponds and tea houses. Once you've soaked up the peace, let's pick up the pace with a headfirst dive into the bustling Ramen Museum. It's more of a themed food court than a museum, where you can explore the vibrant world of this beloved Japanese meal. Finally, how about a panoramic view of the city? Well, climb the Sky Garden at Landmark Tower, the highest observatory in Japan. Enjoy a night with twinkling city lights and dinner in the sky!

Day 3 - Harmony of Art & Nature

On the final day, immerse yourself in the world of art at the marvelous Yokohama Museum of Art. With a wide array of modern and contemporary art collection, you will be lost in the mysterious beauty of these masterpieces. Just when you think it can't get better, make your way to the iconic Yokohama Bay Bridge in the afternoon. The sweeping view of the bay is a sight you certainly wouldn’t want to miss. Finally, end your remarkable journey at the Yamashita Park. It's a beautiful green area facing the port where you can relax, take a stroll, and reminisce about your fantastic trip!
