The Adventurer
Take a Segway tour and feel the
fresh sea breeze of Yokohama
(segwaysmile.jp/tour/yokohama). This
guided tour happens in the Minato Mirai
21 district, where you can enjoy beautiful
views of the water and the cityscape.
There are two tours a day (morning and
afternoon) with up to six people and it
lasts two-and-a-half hours. It is usually
conducted in Japanese but organisers are
planning to have English tours. Check the
participation requirements on the website.
At the Minato Mirai Manyo Club you can
relax in different hot springs. Or channel

your inner chef

by creating

your own cup

noodle at the

Cup Noodles

Museum.

The Party Animal

To make the most of the nightlife

head to the Noge district. Even

though Noge is located in the centre of

Yokohama, it retains a nostalgic feel with

more than 500 izakayas and bars.

There are many craft beer offerings and

jazz venues as well as street events, and

the area is set to become a hub for fans

after World Cup matches. To get to Noge,

take the JR train to Sakuragicho station –

about 15 minutes from Shin-Yokohama,

the nearest station to the stadium.
