History and nature exploration with a most pleasant personality as your guide - Sayumi is wonderful, as she is intelligent, gentle, flexible and efficient. Her growing up in this charming city of Yokohama and her life-long international work experience make her a very special and a pleasant companion for those who'd like to have an insight into the city. She made a timely arrangement for us to experience the special "autumn moon watching" at Sankeien Park. It was simply fantastic -- a beautiful moon and an elegant Japanese traditional music. We were totally excited.

Delightful and interesting tour - Sayumi, our tour guide, was clearly an expert in the history of areas she led us through. She answered our questions well and clearly enjoyed her role. She brought us to a tea shop that was a true delight.

An Excellent & Unique Experience in Yokohama - Our adventure in Yokohama started from a few minute's Yokohama Air Cabin experience, the variety of the architectural style showed the openness & diversity of the city. Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum has satisfied our son's curiosity to science & technology. Lunch at Red Brick Warehouse was a smart advise from our tourguide Horie-san, we could only feel that we needed more than three stomaches each! The afternoon tour to Sankeien Garden was absolutely the best momory for this whole trip, we appreciated Horie-san's advise so much that we had a chance to enjoy the Japanese Gardenning. To get rid of the July heat, Horie-san took us to a beautiful and peaceful place-Hotel New Grand to cool down and tasted our momories of the Sankeien Garden. Our Yokohama tour ended at Ramen Museum, everybody was so happy and satisfied with the famous and delicious Hakata noodles. We'll never forget our tour guide Horie-san who brought us such wonderful experience, you are so sweet and professional, you are the best!

an in-depth history lesson experience - Our guide's love and knowledge of Yokohama made the tour all the more memorable and fun! It was amazing to see how an unimportant village just facing the Pacific Ocean became the world’s renowned Port City in the past 165 years. Every alley had a story to be told, stories you would not have known unless you were raised in the city. Thank you for sharing your insights, Sayumi-san! Just as you had told us, the Sankei-en gardens was magnificent as well! Kyoto, Kamakura and Shirakawa-go heritage combined in one place, so close to Tokyo! Just enjoyed them and your explanation of each buildings or structures really got me interested in Japan. Thank you!

We enjoyed wonderful Three-Story of Pagoda and a lot of historical Japanese Architectures and Mt. Fuji over the industrial area and port of Yokohama from observatory. Tour was conducted by a small group and we could keep our time. Sayumi guided us with full of hospitality. Thank you very much!

Very satisfied! - Superbly coordinated half-day city tour. At Sankei-en gardens, I felt the aesthetics of the Japanese spirit (not assertive but deeply penetrating into the mind, for example) from historical and cultural buildings gathered from various places in Japan. Thoroughly enjoyed the peaceful landscape while walking around the spacious Japanese-style garden without getting lost, thanks to the knowledgeful guide. As a contrast, the characteristics of the City of Yokohama which accommodated many foreigners from early times could be felt at Harbor View Park, Yamate Area, and Motomachi Shopping Street. So well-organized, I was able to enjoy such colorful experience time-efficiently, but never rushed. Recommended!
