East Meets The West
Yokohama holds many of Japan’s firsts because it was established in 1854, with Commodore Perry arriving at the port. These include Chinatown, the Historical district, and Japan’s first foreign trading port. Furthermore, Yokohama is the second largest city in Japan, located only 35 minutes south of Shibuya, Tokyo! A bustling hub for high-tech businesses, Yokohama is a beautiful mix of a modern city with historical touches and luxuries like its parks and museums.
Why do we base out of Yokohama?
Why do we base out of Yokohama?
We start our package tours in Yokohama for good reason: It is one of the best cities in Japan for visitors to start exploring this culturally-rich country. Yokohama is a unique mixture of a foreign business district with a distinct, and somewhat subtle, American influence. This unusual blend is the main factor in giving our travelers a head start in feeling at home. Additionally, Yokohama is easy to navigate for people who enjoy a leisurely morning stroll, as well as for visitors who are looking to explore the city’s food scene.
We at Momiji Travel Agency chose Yokohama to be our starting point because it helps our guests feel as if they are living in Japan rather than simply visiting. This perspective offers our travelers a greater breadth of appreciation for the Japanese people and culture.
