During the tour, you will visit: 

• Kamonyama-hill, Nogeyama-hill and Ookagawa riverside for Sakura viewing 

Kamon-yama Park (originally known as Railway Hill) is a famous viewing spot for cherry blossoms, only a 10-minute walk from JR Sakuragi-cho Station. This hill used to stand over the sea. But after Japan opened its doors to the world, the Yokohama shoreline started to be reclaimed for foreign businesses. 

A rusted observation platform on the eastern edge of Nogeyama Hill commands views across central Yokohama — from the Western houses on the Bluff to the Landmark Tower in the Minato Mirai district.  At the hill’s foot, behind the slope of buildings, lies Noge.

Ookagawa River is a great place to take a walk because there are many local shops, cafes and restaurants that will make your visit worth your while. However, this particular river is more popular during spring, when the sakura flowers decorate the riverside with their pink flowers.
