About this tour
Craft your own Tokyo itinerary with a private guide who meets you at Yokohama cruise terminal. Spend eight hours exploring three to four major landmarks—the Imperial Palace, Ginza's shopping district, Shibuya's frenetic crossing, or other Tokyo favourites—using local trains and taxis to hop between sites. Your guide customises the route to your interests and pace. Return to the ship by bullet train if you wish, completing your day with a thrilling 15-minute Shinkansen ride.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from the Yokohama terminal and you'll board local trains or occasional taxis to move between your chosen landmarks. Expect a mix of walking (especially around busy districts like Shibuya and Ginza) and waiting for transport connections. You'll navigate Tokyo's intuitive rail system rather than a coach, which keeps groups small and routes flexible. Lunch is casual and self-organised. If you're keen to experience the Shinkansen, the return leg becomes part of the tour itself—a smooth, punctual journey back to port that many find as memorable as the sightseeing.
