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.
