The experience

You arrive in Yokohama with a free afternoon or morning and no fixed itinerary. Instead of following a group through the same three stops, you walk with a local who actually lives here. Your Lokafyer is not a professional guide with a memorized script. They're someone who knows the city's neighborhoods, food spots, art scenes and quiet corners, and they'll shape the walk around what you care about. If you want to eat your way through a market, they'll take you there. If you're chasing street art or the history of a particular district, they adapt. The tour is entirely yours to design.

The walk itself is unscripted. You'll move through Yokohama at a pace that feels natural, stopping when something catches your eye or when your guide has a story worth hearing. They'll point out where locals actually go, what's worth your time and what the guidebooks miss. By the end of a 2-hour walk or a full 6-hour day, you'll have a sense of how the city works and where to go back on your own. This is a walking tour, so wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. The tour runs rain or shine.

You'll need to arrange the meeting point and start time in advance, and let your Lokafyer know what you're interested in. If you want to visit a paid attraction along the way (a museum, a temple, a garden), you cover the entrance fee for yourself and your guide. The tour itself includes the local's time and knowledge. Everything else is up to you.

Top questions

What languages is the guide in?

Live guide in English and Spanish.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (3 to 12 years); Infant (under 3): free.

Can I choose how long the tour lasts?

Yes. You pick from 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours at checkout, and your Lokafyer will plan the walk to fit that timeframe. Shorter tours work well for a quick neighborhood dive. Longer ones let you move deeper into the city or cover more ground.

What if I don't know what I want to see in Yokohama?

That's what your Lokafyer is for. Tell them you're new to the city and what draws you (food, art, quiet neighborhoods, modern architecture, local life), and they'll build a route around it. They'll also share practical tips for exploring on your own after the tour ends.

Do I need to pay for attractions we visit during the walk?

If you want to enter a paid site like a museum or temple, you pay the entrance fee yourself and also cover it for your Lokafyer. The tour price covers only the walking and the local's time and knowledge.

Is this tour suitable if I'm visiting Yokohama for the first time?

Yes. First-time visitors often book this tour to get oriented and learn where locals actually spend time, rather than following the standard tourist route. Your guide will give you a real sense of how the city works and where to explore next.
