Yokohama Tours encompass everything from visit to cultural sites to a trip to the popular tournaments. The cultural tours that are organized fall under the category of sightseeing in Yokohama. Mostly the itinerary of such tours in Japan comprises a visit to the different temples, shrines and other similar artifices that reflect the essence of the Japanese culture. Small trips and excursions are also included in the Yokohama Tours.
Some of the important temples and edifices that tourists invariably visit are:
Sojiji Temple – This is the head temple of the Buddhist's Soto sect. The central “Daisodo” building contains Buddhist statues and ancient documents.
Shomyoji Temple – this particular temple was built by Sanetoki Hojo and served as a family temple.
If you are on a Yokohama tour then you should visit the “Yokomizo Yashiki” at Misono Park. This park is beautiful in itself but the most striking feature of this park is the central structure that has now been converted into an agrarian museum that shows the various agricultural methods that the Edos pursued.
The Hojo had many a contribution and in it is enlisted the excavation of the Taya Caves and the subsequent building of the Josenji Temple. Till today this particular cave exudes a meditative charm that is so unique and distinct. Okurayama Memorial Hall is a recently built structure but it too echoes the skill and dexterity of the Japanese architects. These are but a few of the things that you ought to see during your Yokohama Tours. Some of the other tourist attractions are:
