In a survey conducted by Yokohama Convention & Visitors
Bureau (hereinafter YCVB), many convention attendees expressed
particular interest in Yokohama’s culture, sightseeing spots, and
local cuisine. In response, YCVB has developed eight new Yokohama
Tours for event attendees to enjoy during their free time in
Yokohama, keeping in line with our ethos of sustainability.
Noge Area Bar-Hopping Tour, complete with guide
Known affectionately by locals as Yokohama’s kitchen, Noge is a
bustling nightlife spot that is home to over 600 izakaya
(Japanese-style pubs). A knowledgeable local guide will lead
participants to all the hidden gems in Noge, where they can indulge
in distinctive, delicious pub-style food and drink. With easy
on-foot accessibility, participants can rest assured this fun night
out won’t impact their carbon footprint.
Soto Zen Tour of Sojiji, head temple of the Soto Zen
school
As a prominent Zen sect in Japan, Soto Zen provides one of the
best Zen wellness experiences. During this tour, participants will
enjoy a quiet time away from the hustle-bustle of the metropolis
with a calming zazen (seated meditation) session, followed by a
healthy sustainable plant-based Buddhist lunch prepared by
monks.
Other standout Yokohama Tours include:
- BAYWALK YOKOHAMA Walk: A refreshing five-kilometer walk along
the beautiful blue and green seafront of the Port of Yokohama,
where tasty local products can be sampled.
- Minato Mirai City Roots Tour: A walk from Yokohama Landmark
Tower to Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse, with informative guided
commentary on the eco-conscious cityscape design and
architecture.
Whether it’s walkable Noge, the car-free BAYWALK or the
wellness-focused Zen tour, international event participants are
spoilt for choice with YCVB’s environmentally friendly programs and
tours.
