About this experience

Explore Tokyo from Yokohama Port or Tokyo Port on a private shore excursion for cruise guests with limited time ashore. Travel by private vehicle and experience several sides of the city in one day: the forest calm of Meiji Jingu, moat views around the Imperial Palace, temple streets and snack stalls in Asakusa, the energy of Shibuya Crossing, and the skyline around Tokyo Skytree. MAX6 and MAX9 options include an English-speaking driver-guide who provides driving, route communication, and basic guiding support. MAX13 and MAX18 options include vehicle and driver only, with no guide or English-speaking driver. Please contact us at least 24 hours before the tour with your ship name, docking time, required return time, pickup details, group size, luggage, preferred stops, and requests. If no custom itinerary is received, the standard Tokyo highlights route applies. Route and stop times may be adjusted for cruise schedule, traffic, parking, crowds, weather, and attraction hours.

What to expect

    Meiji Jingu Shrine is one of Tokyo’s most important Shinto shrines, dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. Located within a vast forested area in the heart of the city, the shrine offers a peaceful atmosphere away from the busy streets. Visitors can enjoy a relaxing walk through towering torii gates and tree-lined paths, experiencing the spiritual and traditional side of Japan.

  2. Stop 2 · 1h

    The Imperial Palace is the primary residence of Japan’s Imperial Family and sits on the former site of Edo Castle. The Outer Gardens feature wide open spaces, stone walls, and historic gates, providing excellent photo opportunities.

    Senso-ji is Tokyo’s oldest and most famous Buddhist temple. Visitors enter through the iconic Kaminarimon (Thunder Gate) and walk along Nakamise Street, a lively shopping street lined with traditional snacks, souvenirs, and sweets. The temple complex showcases classic Japanese architecture and is a must-see cultural highlight for first-time visitors.

  4. Stop 4 · 1h 30min

    Shibuya Crossing is known as the world’s busiest pedestrian crossing and a symbol of modern Tokyo. Hundreds of people cross from all directions when the lights change, creating a unique and energetic scene. Nearby is the famous Hachiko Statue, a popular meeting point and photo spot.
