Private tour Yokohama half day - see sites such as Sankeien Garden & The Ramen Museum.

This is a half day excursion in Yokohama. Your excursion starts from the Yokohama Grand Pier right after your disembarkation. We take a taxi(s) to Sankeien Garden, then to Shin-Yokohama by train. In Sankeien Garden, we will learn about the traditional Japanese wooden houses brought from Kyoto and some other locations. I grew up in one of these traditional wooden house so you will hear my stories of how the life in such house was like. Over weekend and with some luck, you may come across with traditional wedding couples. This is the best opportunity to touch traditional Japan without going to Kyoto. Lunch will be at the Ramen Museum in Shin-Yokohama, where 9 ramen shops compete each other with its own best menu in the nostalgic '60s atmosphere. This is Ramen lovers' must see spot. We will come back to the pier by 2:00pm. You can walk around in the neighboring piers such as the Yamashita Park, the Red Brick Warehouse shopping mall or China Town on your own in if you have time before re-embarking your ship.
