A hilltop of Western houses with tea rooms
Yamate is a hill above the port of Yokohama, about 40 minutes by train from Shibuya on a line that runs straight through to Motomachi-Chukagai Station at its foot. From the late 1800s, foreign merchants and diplomats made their homes on this hill, and several of their houses still stand, free to walk through. Some have tea rooms, where you can sit with tea or cake and look out at the garden.

A Little Okinawa of noodles and island sweets
Tsurumi, a factory district of Yokohama, drew many workers from Okinawa, Japan's southern island chain, and their shops and eateries still line its Naka-dori street. Eat a bowl of Okinawa soba, thick wheat noodles in a pork and bonito broth that are quite unlike buckwheat soba, then buy sata andagi, fried doughnut balls, to take home. Tsurumi Station is about 25 minutes from Tokyo Station on the JR line.
Do
Make your own snack in a food factory
Some Japanese food companies open their factories and workshops so you can make familiar foods by hand: design your own cup of instant noodles, shape a biscuit or stuff your own sausages. Whatever you make goes home with you, so it doubles as a souvenir. Most sessions need a booking or a timed ticket, so reserve before the day.

Pork buns and brightly painted Chinatown gates
Yokohama's Chinatown grew up after the port opened to foreign trade, and today more than 400 shops and restaurants fill its streets, about 35 minutes by train from Shibuya in Tokyo. Walk around with a steamed pork bun in hand, pass under the painted gates and light incense at a Chinese temple. Buying a bun at a shop counter and eating it as you stroll is the custom here, so you need not worry about eating on the street.
