To fully enjoy sightseeing, you can’t miss out on

tours at museums and other facilities. These tours

allow you to see, touch, and taste them yourself and

make your trip memorable though all your senses.

In Yokohama, there are numerous facilities which

provide tours that cannot be experienced anywhere

else. We hope for those from overseas to visit and

enjoy these.

Please feel the valued history, preserved nature,

culture and art facilities which lead the Japanese art

scene, and the most advanced efforts toward ecology

in Yokohama yourself.

Facility and factory tours of manufacturers

established in Yokohama, which are now known

worldwide are highly recommended. Come and

follow the history of those Yokohama local brands.

Instruction purpose tours by corporations in their

facilities are also recommended. You can learn a

great deal while enjoying the tour.

Culture & Arts The Hikawamaru is a representative example of the state-of-the-art

passenger-cargo ships that traversed the Pacific in the 1930s. This

particular ship sailed between Seattle and Japan and once hosted

Charlie Chaplin as a passenger. During WWII, Hikawamaru was

used as a navy hospital. The ship was designated as a Tangible

Cultural Asset by the city in 2003.


The Hikawamaru was restored to its original glory as a passenger

and cargo ship using historical documents. Visitors can tour the

first-class art deco dining room, smoking salon and stateroom and
