Yokohama
A self-guided audio walking tour of Yokohama.
Yokohama sits just south of Tokyo but feels entirely its own place. The waterfront at Minato Mirai opens onto a wide harbour, and behind it the city moves through distinct neighbourhoods, each with a different texture, from the lantern lit streets of Chinatown to the old foreign settlement along the bay. It is a port city that has always looked outward, and walking it feels like reading several stories at once. In the app, 34 stops in Yokohama are narrated aloud, about 58m of listening across 5 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.
