What you’ll do

Once you’ve shaken out your sea legs, you’ll be ready for a whirlwind experience of Yokohama’s internationalized past – a history that’s owed to the very port your ship has docked at! Where else in Japan could you see an entire district lined with 100-year-old western mansions or a gigantic Chinatown with over 600 stalls?

Whizzing up Japan’s fastest elevator in Yokohama Landmark Tower and snapping pictures of the skyline from the perfect angle on Ōsanbashi Pier are must-dos, but maybe you’ll also step off the beaten track to the secret, the no-frills fish market for a platter sashimi moriawase and a professional tuna-cutting demonstration before heading further afield to Kamakura - home to tranquil Kōtoku-in temple and its iconic Great Buddha.

    Our five hour trip was interesting and informative. We came away from it feeling that we had seen the essence of Kyoto and in a very short time had a much better understanding of this lovely city. Our guide, Alvin, was excellent.

    Thanks to my local guide, Ack I felt safe in this bustling metropolis that can be intimidating for those who don’t speak or understand Japanese. Ack expertly navigated the city and its various public transportation systems with ease. He made sure I got to see everything on my list.

    We had a lovely time with Tiana visiting Kyoto. She was really knowledgeable and was great catching the interest of the kids with many details about shrines, temples and also life in Japan in general. It was really a great guided tour.
