    Option: Osanbashi Pier is one of the historic ports where Japan first opened to the world, and it has played an important role in Yokohama’s development as an international harbor. The rooftop features a wide wooden deck that creates an open space, giving visitors the feeling of standing on a ship floating on the sea. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views of Minato Mirai’s skyline, the Red Brick Warehouse, and the Yokohama Bay Bridge, making it a popular viewing spot both during the day and at night. The pier is designed with gentle slopes and ramps, making it easily accessible for wheelchair users and strollers. Its flowing architecture blurs the boundary between indoors and outdoors, and it is highly regarded both in Japan and internationally as a building that blends seamlessly with the surrounding landscape. On clear days, visitors can even see Tokyo Skytree and Mount Fuji in the distance.

    Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse

    Option: The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is a lively cultural landmark where history and modern life come together. Built in the early 20th century, the warehouses supported port logistics and international trade, and survived both the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and World War II. Their strong red-brick structures remain as symbols of Yokohama’s resilience and modernization. Today, the restored buildings house stylish cafés, restaurants, and shops. The open waterfront plaza hosts seasonal events and markets, creating a vibrant atmosphere throughout the year. With views of the sea and the Minato Mirai skyline, it is also one of Yokohama’s most popular photo spots, loved by visitors day and night.

Opened in 1930 after the Great Kanto Earthquake, it was built on reclaimed land as a symbol of recovery. Visitors can relax on harbor-facing benches, enjoy views of the sea, and see the historic Hikawa Maru, a ship once used on the Seattle route. The Rose Garden, filled with roses linked to Yokohama’s sister cities, blooms in spring and autumn, making the park a popular and photogenic spot. On a nice day, we can go on a picnic and enjoy local foods such as bread and bento.

    Yokohama Chinatown

Today, it is a vibrant district filled with hundreds of restaurants, food stalls, and shops. You can enjoy a wide variety of authentic Chinese cuisine, such as dim sum, ramen, and steamed buns, as well as colorful traditional gates and temples.

    Option: Iseyama Kotaijingu Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the Sun Goddess, who is regarded as the most revered deity in Japan and is the same deity worshipped at Ise Grand Shrine, the most sacred Shinto shrine in the country. Because of this, the shrine is often referred to as “the Ise Shrine of the Kanto region,” and many people visit it to receive the same spiritual blessings without traveling all the way to Ise. The shrine is located on a hilltop, offering a pleasant open atmosphere and panoramic views of Yokohama, which adds to its calm and refreshing ambiance. Unlike many major tourist sites, the shrine is usually quiet and uncrowded, making it an ideal place for visitors to experience traditional Japanese culture, enjoy a peaceful moment, and feel a strong sense of harmony between history, nature, and the modern city Guests using wheelchairs or requiring assistance are welcome to go with me by taxi. Private car arrangements are available on request at the time of booking
