Kappo Tanakaya
Enjoy an exquisite, traditional Japanese meal at Kappo Tanakaya. Founded in 1863 during the late Edo period, Kappo Tanakaya has been welcoming guests for more than 160 years.

After Yokohama Port opened in 1859, consulates from countries such as the United States were established nearby, and Tanakaya became known for hosting distinguished guests from Japan and abroad. Today, it continues this long tradition of hospitality, offering refined Japanese cuisine in a space that reflects the beauty of the seasons while embracing flavors suited to modern tastes.

Their kaiseki cuisine showcases carefully selected ingredients and masterful technique, with menus that change seasonally to highlight the freshest flavors of each time of year. Every beautifully presented dish feels like a work of art, expressing the skill and sensibility of the chefs.

From kaiseki courses to shabu-shabu and eel hotpot, Kappo Tanakaya invites you to savor seasonal Japanese flavors and experience the essence of “omotenashi”, Japan’s spirit of heartfelt hospitality.
 

Sankeien Garden
Why not spend a special moment at Sankeien Garden—a beautifully composed garden like a work of art?

Opened to the public in 1906, Sankeien Garden is beloved for its harmony between historic architecture and nature. Across its expansive 175,000 m² (43 acres) grounds, you’ll find historically significant buildings relocated from Kyoto, Kamakura, and other regions—making it an ideal place for a scenic stroll.

Of the 17 buildings in the garden, 10 are designated Important Cultural Properties of Japan and 3 are Yokohama City Tangible Cultural Properties. The entire garden itself is also designated as a National Scenic Spot, underscoring its exceptional cultural value.

Sankeien Garden’s seasonal beauty offers visitors a deeply soothing experience throughout the year. When you need a break, stop by one of the teahouses or cafés inside the garden and enjoy a moment of bliss with a bowl of matcha.

 

Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum
If you’re feeling a little hungry, why not experience “eating,” “making,” and “learning” about ramen?

For that, we recommend the Shin-Yokohama Ramen Museum—the world’s first ramen food amusement park, recreating the retro streets of 1958 Showa-era Japan.

On the 1st floor and B2 level, carefully selected famous ramen shops from across Japan gather in one place. To make tasting multiple flavors easy, they offer “mini ramen”, perfect for sampling while walking around.

The Ramen-Making Experience lets you learn how to make noodles from wheat flour. You can enjoy your freshly made ramen on the spot or take the noodles home. (Reservation required; from ¥4,700 per person, admission fee not included.)

The museum also features a gallery to learn about ramen’s culture and history, as well as shops selling local ramen varieties and related merchandise.

In addition, retro-style shops such as candy stores and cafés let you enjoy a nostalgic Showa-era atmosphere while waiting for your ramen .
