How your day could unfold
A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you mostWhat you’ll do
However long your ship is docking for, your local insider will help you make the most of your time. From discovering ancient temples like Sensō-ji to exploring the explosion of pop culture, cosplayers, and wacky-themed cafes in futuristic Harajuku, your host will give you a taste of Tokyo’s intoxicating contrasts.
To see as much as possible - you could head up Tokyo Skytree, or even better, the observation deck of the Tokyo Government Building, before whizzing back down to ground level and exploring a neighborhood you spotted from above. Experience unique aspects of Tokyo’s culture, like slurping ramen in a private booth, shopping in mammoth electronics stores, and cheering ‘kanpai’ with your host over sake in a retro izakaya!

Our tour guide Mishan waited for us at the dock for more than 6 hours after our cruise ship was very late arriving in port (due to a storm on the way). In spite of this she provided us with an excellent private tour to include the Meiji Shrine.

Chisato was a great guide with lots of passion! I had a great time with her even though I was on a solo trip. She made me feel like I was with a friend. She tried her best to go with my preferences while planning our route. It was great and I had the best whiskey I've ever tried.

Veronica made this experience absolutely AMAZING! I had personally never travelled intercontinentally before so I was very nervous to come to Japan. After our tour with Veronica, she left our whole group feeling so much more comfortable. She taught us cultural norms, how to use the transportation system while also showing us a ton of Tokyo gems in a 4 hour window. I am forever grateful that we had her to kickstart an amazing adventure! I also want to highlight that not only was she an amazing guide for the tour but she made sure to get in contact with us prior to, to make sure we were prepared for the weather. So thoughtful and clearly a person who genuinely cares! She is fantastic!
