Sayumi was a fabulous guide and host. She picked me up from my hotel and adjusted her schedule due to weather. I had a very enjoyable afternoon learning the history of this area and spending time in the wonderful Sankien gardens. We had a lovely coffee at a Japanese coffee shop and I really felt like I had a true peak into Yokohama’s culture. I highly recommend this tour. She tries very hard to make your time special.

We had a great time exploring Yokohama’s beautiful hill neighborhoods with Sayumi San! Before our arrival, she contacted us and gave us recommendations based on what I wanted to experience. Sayumi San is very knowledgeable, and patient. Her love for this beautiful city is contagious. We walked around for a bit, then we ended our tour at the beautiful Sankei-en garden. We also enjoyed Japanese matcha and sweets at the garden. I am so glad that I booked this tour. If you want to know more about Yokohama’s history, I’d highly recommend this tour with Sayumi San!

We were enchanted by our wonderful guide and the city she showed us. At first it was Yokohama as a center of different cultures, and then it turned into the most traditional one. We were delighted.

We had a such a lovely day with Sayumi as our guide. Her walking tour around the hillside area and gardens in Yokohama is great half day walk to discover a hidden jam of the town. She brought us to the most amazing locations such as viewpoints and historical sites. Especially I loved the tea shop where we tried recommended flavor of Japanese tea which may bring us good fortune! And magical time spending in Sankeien Garden. I was so impressed by the beauty and serenity of this traditional Japanese landscape garden. Worth visiting if you’re fond of flowers, birds or authentic Japanese style architecture. If I were visiting all sites by myself, I would not have had such a wonderful time. And last but not least, her deep affection and great passion for welcoming all guest to this tour touched me so much! Definitely would recommend to anyone I know coming here and join this tour!!

Sayumi was a wonderful guide. Extremely knowledgeable and very organized. The landscapes and buildings of Yokohama were not only beautiful but were filled with interesting history. The stories Sayumi provided were fascinating and made me understand what an important role Yokohama played during and after the Meiji restoration. The little tea room where we had a tea break was absolutely delightful. “Sankei-en” Garden, despite being not far from the centre of Yokohama, was quiet, peaceful and full of nature (the short bus trip to the Garden was also very enjoyable). Great get away from the hustle and bustle of the everyday life. The view from the “Shofukuji” was magnificent. I thoroughly enjoyed my trip. Highly recommended!
