Interactive world cruise map, home | cruise ships | port expenses | hints and tips, yokohama japan cruise port guide.

You arrive in the middle of bustling Chinatown.

The new state of the art cruise Osanbashi terminal . There is a public bus service every ten minutes (200 yen) between the passenger terminal and Yokohama Station, which is in downtown and is the hub for rail trips to Tokyo (about 40 km away) and other destinations.

Passengers sailing from Yokohama, Japan’s Osanbash cruise terminal will be sent off in style, as the port has organized a farewell ceremony for every ship call. Tourists, locals and terminal employees will gather with yellow cloth handkerchiefs (provided free of charge) to wish ships and passengers a happy and safe journey.

A new facility for cruise ships opened in April 2019 at the Daikoku terminal in addition to the new Shinko terminal opened in November 2019.

The five-story terminal building houses not only a cruise terminal but 25 shops and a luxury hotel, Intercontinental Yokohama Pier8.

Sightseeing:

Yokohama is a cosmopolitan city that blends the old and the new, and Japanese and western cultures. Within walking distance from the passenger terminal, there are shopping districts, high-end hotels and a renowned Chinatown. A 10-minute bus ride will take you to Sankeien, a vast traditional Japanese garden, and to the Yokohama Noh Theater with a 19th century traditional noh stage.

The port and city of Yokohama are renowned for their warmhearted hospitality cultivated over a century through welcoming countless passenger vessels from around the world. Yokohama with its geographical advantage, extensive railroad networks and unique terminal that can offer efficiency to your operation can be an ideal logistic hub for various tours, whether sightseeing or dining or cultural activities in the Tokyo Metropolitan region. Sankeien Garden is a vast genuine Japanese garden with an area of 180,000 square meters. Many of the buildings have been designated as national cultural properties. The garden comes alive with plum blossoms in winter, cherry blossoms and azaleas in spring, and the changing colors of leaves in autumn. You can enjoy nature as it changes with the seasons. 10 minutes by bus, ask in port for details.

Tours Excursions Transportation:

When you board a taxi, note that the vehicle's left rear door is opened and closed remotely by the driver. You are not supposed to open or close it by yourself. Furthermore, you are not supposed to tip taxi drivers, as the service is included in the price.

If you do not speak Japanese, or your destination is not a well known place, it is recommended to give your driver the precise address of your destination on a piece of paper or, even better, point it out on a map, since the Japanese address system can be confusing even to local taxi drivers.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

Kamakura was the site of the feudal government (the ancient capital of Japan) 800 years ago. It is now a quiet cultural center with many sights of interest, especially temples and shrines including Tsurugaoka Hachiman-gu built by the Shogun in 1180. Further south is the Daibutsu, or Great Buddha of Kamakura. It is 11.4 meters tall, the second highest Buddha statue in Japan. It is a national treasure but you can enter inside the statue. 60 minutes by bus. Mt. Fuji, the tallest mountain in Japan, is a national symbol. Hakone is one of the most famous hot spring resorts in Japan. It offers not only hot spring accommodation but also daily bathing facilities. Visiting a hot spring is very enjoyable. 120 minutes by bus. Excursions are offered by you cruise line.

Shopping and Food

Yokohama also has many shopping spots for all fashions. Especially, Minato Mirai 21 has lots of large shopping malls. The west side of Yokohama has all kinds of entertainment, music, fashion and of course Yodobashi camera and Big camera for electronic shops.

The currency in Japan is the yen. It comes in denominations of ¥10,000, ¥5,000 and ¥1,000 notes, as well as ¥500, ¥100, ¥50, ¥10, ¥5 and ¥1 coins.

ATMs in Japan are becoming more useful, and most can be used to withdraw funds from overseas accounts. Post offices also offer ATMs. Major credit cards are accepted at a majority of stores and restaurants in large urban areas, but if you plan on spending any time in rural areas, be sure to carry sufficient cash. Japan is still very much a cash society and some stores, hotels and restaurants regardless of location refuse credit cards.

Don't tip, as it's considered rude!

Kobe is a central Japanese port city full of charm, modern urban excitement, and easy access to nature. Kobe is world famous for its beef, considered the most decadent and delicious on the planet. Take in unprecedented views of the skyline and bay from the top of the Kobe Port Tower observation deck. Then, find your inner bliss at the Ikuta Shrine, a Shinto temple that is one of the oldest of its kind in Japan. End your stay with some shopping on the vibrant Motomachi Street.

Mt. Fuji, Japan

This majestic mountain and now-dormant volcano is Japan’s most iconic and symbolic natural attraction, almost perfectly conical in shape and sporting a cap of snow for much of the year.

Lose yourself in the narrow bar-lined streets of Shinjuku, and try a local sake or rice beer. 

Your voyage on the stylish Celebrity Millennium promises an unforgettable journey in a contemporary setting with plenty to do on board. Relax by the sparkling pool or at the Rooftop Terrace with sweeping views of the coastline. Elevate your vacation experience with The Retreat , where you’ll enjoy accommodation in one of our suites, a dedicated butler, dining in Luminae, an exclusive restaurant serving dishes designed by our Global Culinary Ambassador Daniel Boulud, and more.

Yokohama, Japan Cruise Port Facilities and Location

The port of Yokohama is centrally located near many of the city’s biggest and most eclectic attractions, like the Silk Museum and the Yokohama Doll Museum. Within the terminal, you’ll find currency exchange facilities, as well as a few shops and a restaurant.

Top Sights & Attractions in Tokyo

Tokyo tower.

The Tokyo tower is an architectural example and modern marvel of Tokyo’s impressive skyline. From here, you can gaze over the forest of gleaming skyscrapers and patchwork of lush parks below. There’s an easy drop-off to/from Haneda Airport too, making it a perfect place to start or end your journey.

Komagatake Ropeway and Lake Ashi

Take a thrilling ride on the scenic Komagatake Ropeway, a cable car that ascends one of Hakone’s highest peaks and takes you all the way to Lake Ashi. On your ropeway ride, you’ll see dazzling views of Mount Fuji from the sky in the comfort and safety of these fabulous aerial trams. Once at Lake Ashi, you will board a Viking-inspired wooden boat for an unforgettable trip around this pristine high-elevation lake. This is a wonderful trip for nature lovers.

Tokyo Imperial Palace

The Emperor of Japan calls the Tokyo Imperial Palace home, so many parts of this stunning property do not accommodate tourists. However, you can spend hours exploring the palace’s beautiful gardens and in season, cherry blossoms, or discover the history of the palace on a guided tour. Kitanomaru Park is famous, where cherry blossoms cover the area in the spring and couples rent boats to paddle the palace moat. You’ll feel transported to another time here.

Learn More About Tokyo (Yokohama) Shore Excursions

Top things to do in tokyo, see tokyo’s skyline from tokyo sky tree.

No trip to Tokyo is complete without a trip to the top of Tokyo Sky Tree, which is now the tallest building in Japan. You’ll get a 360-degree view of Tokyo from the observation deck, plus there are restaurants and an aquarium in “Sky Tree Town” for you to enjoy an entire afternoon of exploring. Stay for sunset to watch the city come alive with lights.

Family Fun at Yomiuriland Amusement Park

For those looking for a little thrill and adventure, take a trip to Yomiuri Land and bring the kids. This amusement park is one of Japan’s best, with rollercoasters, water flumes, educational attractions and in spring, exquisite cherry blossom displays.

Stop at the Samurai Museum

The ancient Samurai warrior is an iconic figure in Japanese cultural heritage and this museum pays homage to them. See and discover authentic Samurai relics and learn about their rich history throughout time as the warrior class of Japan. The museum has a convenient location in Kabukicho district of Shinjuku, and offers multi-language tours of the space and its treasures.

What should I eat and drink in Tokyo?

Tokyo is home to some of Japan’s best bars, restaurants, and street food. When it comes to choices and quality, it’s hard to find something that matches Tokyo at scale. Start your culinary adventure walking through the bustling streets and stalls of the Tsukiji Market, the world’s largest fish market that offers other fresh fare as well. No trip to Tokyo is complete without trying some of the hundreds of varieties of sushi or sashimi, either.

Next, treat your taste buds to one of Tokyo’s most popular street foods, monjayaki. So popular, in fact, that it has its own street named after it. The dish is made with pan-fried batter and can be mixed with veggies, seafood, and lots of different local flavors that invoke ultimate umami feelings with every bite. After you eat, enjoy a carafe of the world’s finest sake in Shinjuku, or join traditional Japanese beer culture celebrations at one of Shibuya’s many small, atmospheric bars.

What is the culture and history of Tokyo?

Tokyo is the current cultural, government, and economic capital of Japan, and one of the world’s top travel destinations for nearly half a century now. Its origins date back some 400 years to when it was called “Edo”, and was the crown jewel of the Tokugawa Shogunate. Tokyo wasn’t really opened to westerners until the late 19th century, when it changed its name and modernized its infrastructure. After a brutal period during World War II, Tokyo reimagined itself in an astounding fashion. 

Today, Tokyo is truly a mega city, and one that ecompasses cultural elements from all over Japan. It’s a city that moves at a fast, yet orderly pace; a place where tranquil gardens and elaborate temples sit amid modern skyscrapers and glossy shopping malls. English is spoken sporadically, more so in the main tourist areas of Shibuya, Shinjuku, and the city’s center. Make sure to visit some of the city’s parks for a breath of fresh air and to soak in some culture during your stay, too.

Where can I go shopping near the Yokohama cruise port?

Near the cruise port, you’ll find souvenir stands and a couple of restaurants. You’ll have better luck shopping in Yokohama or in the center of Tokyo, though. The Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse is a set of gigantic warehouses on the Yokohama Bay, perfect for strolling the waterfront and shopping. There are hundreds of stores inside filled with locally-made items, coffee shops, and conventional department stores for anything you might need during your time in Japan.

How can I get around Tokyo and Yokohama?

If you’re traveling from Tokyo on the way to board a Yokohama cruise, there’s a train from Tokyo Station to Yokohama that only takes 30 to 40 minutes. At the Yokohama cruise terminal, there’s also a subway station called Nihon-Odori with links to various places. In Yokohama, many tourist destinations are just a short walk away from one another. Of course, taxis are popular in both Tokyo and Yokohama as a primary method to get around the city.

What are the local currency & tipping customs?

Tipping is uncommon in Japan. It’s not widely accepted at hotels or restaurants, and cab drivers do not expect a gratuity. If you have a particularly exceptional guide on a tour or excursion, you can ask before tipping to ensure maximum politeness. Be sure to carry a bit of cash with you in Japan. You’ll find US dollars aren’t accepted in most parts of Japan. Though credit cards have gained popularity, it’s good to have enough yen to cover a minor expense like a cab ride or train ticket.

To see the full itineraries (ports of call dates and arrival / departure times) and their lowest rates – just follow the corresponding ship-link.

Tokyo is a large seaport and Japan's capital city (Tokyo Metropolis) located on Honshu Island's southern part (Tokyo Bay's western shore). Tokyo is also Japan's largest city with population around 14 million (metro around 37,5 million). Port Tokyo is one of the country's largest seaports, with annual shipping traffic capacity ~100 million cargo tons and 4,5 million TEU-containers. The seaport employs 30,000+ people serving 32,000+ vessels annually. The city is served by two international airports - Narita and Haneda.

The city (named Edo) was renamed and became Japan's capital in 1868 when Tokugawa dynasty was overthrown. Old Town Edo is the heart of downtown Tokyo and is most famous with the Imperial Palace and its surrounding parks. In Kasumigaseki district are located most government buildings.

Among Northern Tokyo's best-known tourist attractions are Ueno Park (shrines, tombs, pagodas), Tokyo National Museum (archeological artefacts and Japanese art), Senso-ji temple. Tokyo's best for shopping area is Ginza district. 

The metropolis has been left in ruins twice - during Great Kanto earthquake (1923) and after the US bombings during WW2 (1939-1945). This explains why the landscape has predominantly modern architecture. The city features 2 distinctive towers: Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Skytree (opened 2012, Construction cost USD 600 million) - Japan's tallest and the world's second-tallest structure (height 634 m / 2080 ft, 35 floors) after Dubai's Burj Khalifa (height 830 m / 2722 .ft, opened in 2010, construction cost USD 1,5 billion).

Tokyo City has numerous gardens and parks, including 4 national parks, among which is Fuji-Hakone-Izu (comprising all of Izu Islands). During cherry blossoms bloom, many thousands of residents gather in the Inokashira Park, Ueno Park, and Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden for picnics under the trees. Each year on July's last Saturday, an amazing fireworks show over Sumida River attracts over 1 million spectators.

"Bureau of Port and Harbor" is Port Tokyo's authority company, which manages, administers, maintains and upgrades the seaport as infrastructure and facilities / terminals, also develops reclaimed lands, the waterfront area, all seaside parks.

The seaport serves not only Tokyo City but also a large part of Shinetsu Region and southern Tohoku (total population over 40 million). The port links land and sea transportation of both import and export goods.

Hinode Terminal (port's oldest) was developed into a passenger terminal and promo center.

Tokyo Cruise Terminal (at Shinkyaku Pier) can handle even the world's largest passenger liners ( Royal Caribbean 's Oasis-class boats with LOA 362 m / 1188 ft). The new facility has one berth (length 430 m / 1411 ft) and quay depth / max-draft 11,5 m (38 ft). The 4-story terminal building has total area 19000 m2 (204514 ft2). The facility was constructed outside Rainbow Bridge to allow access to the largest passenger ships currently in operation.

Since 2018, cruise port's pilotage, towage and other cruiseship charges are subsidized by the Metropolitan Government.  Most vessels berth at Harumi Terminal. The traditional greeting ceremony (held during all cruise calls) includes a fireboats show and a dockside welcoming ceremony with live music performances.

In season 2018, the cruise port had booked 38 ship calls - an increase over 2017 (32) and 2016 (29). The growth was based mainly on foreign liners.

The new cruise terminal experienced a 3-year hiatus (2020-2023) in hosting foreign- flagged ships (between Sept 2020 and March 2023) due to the impact of the global COVID crisis. In 2021 and 2022, only a limited number of domestic (Japan-flagged) vessels utilized the new cruise terminal. In 2023 were handled a total of 49 cruise ship calls.

Tokyo cruise terminal

Most cruise ships in Tokyo dock at Harumi Terminal. Port Yokohama is approx 40 km (25 mi) from the city and is often used as an alternative port for Tokyo. The new cruise terminal (at Shinkyaku Pier) was scheduled for inauguration on July 14 (2020) to coincide with the opening of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games (scheduled for July 22). However, both events were postponed due to the COVID crisis. The new passenger terminal was officially inaugurated on September 10, welcoming on the same day its first cruise ship Nippon Maru (owned by Mitsui OSK Passenger Line).

(NEW) Tokyo International Cruise Terminal

The new terminal can handle even the world's largest passenger liners of Royal Caribbean 's OASIS-class (GT 228000 tons, LOA length 362 m, max passengers 6370 plus 2400 crew).

Shinkyaku Pier (officially "Tokyo International Cruise Terminal") has one berth with length 430 m (1411 ft), width 30 m (98 ft) and quay depth / max-draft 11,5 m (38 ft). The 4-floor terminal building has total area of 19000 m2 (204514 ft2).

The facility was constructed outside Rainbow Bridge (1993-opened, vertical clearance 52 m / 171 ft) to allow access to the world's largest cruise vessels currently in operation.

Tokyo's downtown is at ~20-min drive and cruisers can walk to the new Yurikamome station (New Transit Yurikamome / fka Tokyo Waterfront New Transit Waterfront Line) serving an automated guideway transit network via operated by Yurikamome Inc. Nearest to the new cruise terminal metro station is Kachidoki (at approx 20-min walking distance). The other way to access the city is via bus (lines 3 and 5). The nearest bus station is Harumi Futo - just outside the cruise ship terminal.

Large-sized cruise vessels alternatively dock at Oi Marine Products Terminal, from where bus shuttles take passengers to Shinagawa Station (railway). Port Tokyo's Oi Marine Products Terminal has 2 berths (total length 450 m / 1476 ft) allowing docking of vessels with max-draft 12 m (39 ft).

(new) Koto Ward cruise terminal

The new passenger terminal in Koto Ward is scheduled for completion in 2019. The facility is located south Rainbow Bridge's eastern end (Aomi district). It is closer to the city center than the Oi Terminal.

The new wharf can handle large-sized vessels. Construction works started in the end of 2013.

As most cruise liners to Tokyo usually dock at the Harumi Terminal, to reach it they pass under Rainbow Bridge. Its clearance of 52 m (171 ft) limits larger cruise ships to pass under. The new cruise ship pier can handle even the world’s largest passenger vessels of RCI's Oasis-class (gross tonnage 220,000 tons).

Think of the island and its various facilities as the cruise terminal’s playground. You’ll find international and Japanese brands sold in several shopping complexes, cuisine from around the world, and a variety of entertainment and cultural facilities suitable for visitors of all ages.

Cooking afficionados will find a paradise of knives, utensils and various other implements in nearby Kappabashi Kitchenware Town . If your visit coincides with cherry blossom season, be sure to make time for a stroll along the riverside Sumida Park .

Transportation

From Tokyo to Yokohama Cruise Port: 3 Best Ways

A “Magical” Modern Metropolis

Regardless of what you may have seen in movies, anime, or other big cities, there’s nothing that can quite prepare you for the experience of visiting Tokyo. With its glitter of neon lights (like stars in the night sky), small izakaya bar alleys, world-class cuisine, deep-rooted culture, and long history, Tokyo is truly a magical city.

A Journey on the Seas!

Consequently, if you’re traveling through and wish to see more Japanese cities, outside of Tokyo, you might consider hopping on a cruise at Tokyo’s Yokohama Cruise Port. Opened in 1850 this port was Japan’s first modern, international trading port. Today, the majority of cruise ships dock at Yokohama Port’s Osanbashi Pier , located 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Tokyo.

1. Public Transport

A possible route from Tokyo to Yokohama Port is with public transportation. Tokyo has one of the most extensive public transport networks in the world, a dense network of trains, subways, and buses. The only downside is that it can be crowded at times and the changes in transport make it less than convenient if you’re traveling with luggage.

Nevertheless, if you don’t mind the longer waiting times and moving about the stations with your luggage in a “Frogger” arcade-game fashion, public transportation can offer you a more local travel experience. 

Narita Airport to Yokohama

The exact route you’ll take depends mostly on where you’re traveling from. If you’re traveling from Tokyo Narita International Airport , you can: 

• Take the Narita Express (N’EX) train to Yokohama Station (~90mins, ¥4090)
• Then, take the Minatomirai Line to Nihon-Odori Station (~6mins, ¥210)
• And finally, walk to the Osanbashi Pier (~5mins)

Tickets: Tickets for the Narita Express are available at the ticket office of the Narita Airport train stations (you can also use a JR-Trains Pass ). Tickets for the Minatomirai Line are available at the station ticket machines or with Pasmo and Suica Smart Travel Cards .

Haneda Airport to Yokohama

If, on the other hand, you land into Haneda Airport , the more common terminal for national flights, you’ll need to take a different route to the port:

• Take Keikyu Airport Kyuko (Express) service to Yokohama Station (~30mins, ¥450)

Tickets: Tickets for the Keikyu Airport Express are available at the airport or with the Pasmo or Suica travel cards. 

2. Tokyo Car Service

By far, the most convenient and worry-free solution for your transfers within Tokyo is by hiring a private car service to handle the details for you. No need to battle busy stations while dragging your luggage; have total certainty of fares and that you’ll get the right car for your group; and ease into the comfort of knowing someone will be waiting there for you when you arrive.

A car service offers you a door-to-door transfer from the airport or from your hotel directly to the port, all catered to your specific needs. It’s as simple as sending the company your itinerary and requirements (passengers, luggage, desired pickup time, etc.), and letting them handle the rest. Travel safely and in style with a professional local driver and with 24-hour customer assistance at your disposal.

3. Tokyo Airport Taxi

Taxis are available throughout Tokyo and can be hailed at the airports or outside train, subway, and bus stations. Though they are, for the most part, readily available when you need them, there are a few details to consider before taking one:

• Most taxis can only take up to 4 passengers , any other passengers will require a second car.
• Though they do fit 4 passengers, most taxis have limited luggage space and might not have the space to handle the luggage of 4 passengers.
• Fares begin at ¥730 and will rise ¥90 every 280 meters, or when stopped in traffic.
• Taxis mostly accept cash , few accept credit cards.
• Drivers will speak very little English, it’s best to prepare a few phrases ahead of time.

Though there are a few disadvantages to taking a taxi, it’s important to note that taxis in Tokyo are safe and will always use the meter to calculate their fares. Though the trip can prove to be a bit costly, the drivers are honest and safe (and they have GPS to find where you need to go).

Best Way to Get Around?

Ultimately, the best way to get around will depend entirely on your specific needs. If you’d rather take the local route and experience Tokyo’s vast public transportation network, consider riding the trains. If, on the other hand, you’re pressed for time and just want to arrive and figure out the details as you go, a taxi might be a better option.

Nevertheless, we would highly recommend a bit of planning ahead of time to avoid any trouble, this way you can really squeeze the juice out of your time in Japan. That’s why we always recommend a reliable car service that already knows where to pick you up, where you’re going, and what you’ll need on your way.

Most of All, Enjoy!

It’s important to make sure these travel details are handled before your trip, so you won’t waste any time worrying about them. Most importantly, however, remember that you’re diving into one of the world’s most iconic cultures and, as such, you deserve some relaxing time for exploring. 

Attend a tea ceremony, soak in an onsen , have a drink at an izakaya, or try some local foods (ramen and sushi are a must)! Oh, and before you go, let us know in the comments if there’s any place you would highly recommend or are looking forward to visiting. Have a great trip!

Overall rating

Setting foot outside a terminal of another country was always a scary feeling, not knowing what transportation to hop on going to our hotel. But because of the great services of your company, we had a pleasant experience ... of knowing we can avail your transportation services in transferring from an airport or cruise terminal to our hotel. Your staff were so courteous and pleasant to talk to.

We immediately saw the Green Tomato sign, and were helped with luggage claim, and then led to the van with the other riders. The driver was extra careful driving in rush hour, and got all of us safely to our hotels. I ... was impressed! I came down with the FLU (not corona virus) the first night in Tokyo, and we were able to change or flights home for the next day. Called Veltra, and customer service sent a message to the local Green Tomato office, which was closed. By 10:30 AM Tuesday morning, they reached us at the hotel, and were able to pick us up at 1:30 PM in order to add us to a last minute to a run. The driver was early, spoke enough English to point out sights on the way to the next pick-up, and then continued to point out a few more sights. He also drove well, and we were very appreciative of the trouble Veltra went thru to get us to Narita, with hours to spend in the airport before boarding the flight. If Veltra offers transfers in other cities we visit in the future, they have our business! And, they will be the first place we look to for tours as well.

Enjoy the ride with Green Tomato

The staff are nice and friendly. They stood with a sign once we stepped out from the terminal, we have no problem in finding them. The driver was professional, polite and drive safely. We will keep using them.

Yokohama (Tokyo), Japan

Until the mid-19th century, Japan lived in isolation, closed off from the rest of the world, and Yokohama was a mere fishing village. But in 1853, American naval officer Matthew Perry demanded the country open to foreign trade, and Yokohama was changed forever. The city quickly emerged as an international trading center, and while today it is often overshadowed by nearby Tokyo, it continues to be one of Japan’s liveliest, and most international, destinations. With its microbreweries and international restaurants, Yokohama has a decidedly different feel from many other Japanese cities.  

From Yokohama, it’s a quick trip to peaceful Kamakura, home to Daibutsu, Japan’s second-largest bronze Buddha, and to the important Shinto shrine Tsurugaoka Hachimangu. Head to Hakone National Park on a clear day and you’ll be rewarded with picture-postcard views of majestic Mt. Fuji. 

Tokyo is the largest city on earth and packed with some of the world’s best shops, museums and restaurants, big and small. While the bright neon lights and the bustle of contemporary Tokyo may be what comes to mind when you think of the city, there is another side. Tokyo's historic gardens and neighborhoods of traditional homes on narrow lanes speak to a timeless Japan that has survived into the 21st century.

• Lalisa  Time:29-05-2024 Was recommended this company by a family member for their previous trip in Hokkaido. Super easy to communicate with via email, and arrangements were good. The driver cum tour guide was Robin who recommended us a lot of food and places to go while we were in Hokkaido. Great experience. Day trip to Biei. Driver was very safe and polite. She was professional and able to guide/explain about sapporo. It was snowy and Safety is the upmost important. The staff members were quite helpful especially Melinda who kept communicating with me. They work really quickly to finalize our vacation. Additionally, the driver communicates effectively. We had to stop in several places, but he made it all happen. Highly recommend booking from them.  
• Rosalind Wong  Time:26-04-2024 I booked Japan Holiday for a car and driver for 7 days to travel out of Tokyo to the north of Honshu. Our group of 8 fitted into the 9- seater comfortably with luggage in April 2024. I planned the itinerary with their rep Lydia, who was always prompt and helpful with her replies and suggestions. She was quick to respond to queries which made the overall planning and booking process easier. The guide and driver Snake-San was wonderful, on time and accommodating. Everything was done professionally and we had a wonderful time. The price of the private tour was very reasonable as well. We were very happy with the service. I would recommend this company.
• Anthony Lobo  Time:25-02-2024 We used the driving service for our first trip to Japan, and it could not have gone smoother. It was easy to find and meet our driver when we arrived at the airport and when we were picked up to head back to the airport. I would definitely recommend this service for any first timers. Honestly, it took the stress out of traveling to and from the airport and easily accommodated my family of 5. Communication was easy and everyone was extremely helpful/friendly. If you are concerned about using the subway system for the first time, I’d use this driving service to ease your mind.

Their buses and bus drivers were always on time and comfortable for our party of 13 people + luggage. Great experience. Driver was very safe and polite. He was professional and able to guide/explain about Hakuba. It was snowy and Safety is the upmost important. Lydia from their office was always polite and she also responded within 24 hours. Trustworthy company with local knowledge.
• Lydia Cheam  Time:04-02-2024 My family and I took an 8/9 hours transportation/tour of Hakone with Japan Holiday, and they were amazing! Our driver was very gentle, helpful and thoughtful :) we were traveling with an infant and elderly parents, and he would inform us if the weather seemed colder and that he would wait nearby if we wanted to run back into the car quickly, or he would head over to the restaurants/tea house to check if they were open before letting us out. Really appreciated it! Also, James was very responsive and helpful when coordinating our travels prior to the trip. Thanks so much and would definitely book again when we need a tour/transport!

After 9 yrs, Yokohama comes back as No. 1 cruise ship port in Japan

Y OKOHAMA -- In 2023, this east Japan metropolis for the first time in nine years claimed the top spot as Japan's port of call for cruise ships.

According to the Yokohama Municipal Government, the number of stops at the Port of Yokohama by ships of domestic and foreign origin reached 171. One of the reasons for the increase in port stops is on a gradual recovery from the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.

After opening to international cruise ships again last March, the port received 89 more ships than the year prior. According to the city's cruise industry promotion department, an estimated 470,000 people landed in the city. The port led the nation with stops by 101 foreign ships and was in second place for domestic ships with 70 visits.

The port was the nation's top for a 12-year stretch until 2014. With the popularity of the Port of Hakata in the city of Fukuoka and the Port of Nagasaki among Chinese tourists, Yokohama fell to third spot in 2015. Despite improved numbers, Yokohama remained in third or fourth place through 2019, then in second from 2020 to 2022 amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The once-thriving cruises from China did not fully return to Japanese ports in 2023, which is thought to be a factor in Yokohama's comeback. With their full return, however, a Yokohama official predicts, "Yokohama's No. 1 place is tenuous," as destinations such as Kyushu and Okinawa see the ships again.

However, in March and April as cruise season approaches, Yokohama is scheduled to welcome a series of foreign liners that will enter the port for the first time. The city has high hopes for the increased activity and the synergistic effects these will bring.
