A Day in Tokyo We Will Always Cherish
Iris S,Apr 22, 2026

5.00Our guide, Mayumi Yoshihara, gave us an amazing 8 hours in Tokyo. We corresponded several times prior to the day via WhatsApp and came up with a customized itinerary that was very but doable. Mayumi-san traversed the train system with ease - if it were up to us we'd still be lost roaming around under Tokyo! She provided personal insights along with details about each place we visited and found us a great lunch spot. She also took many photographs of us - much better than our usual selfies! The entire day made us appreciate Tokyo and made it a city we'd like to return to again in the future. Kudos to Mayumi-san.
The Perfect Shore Excursion to Explore Tokyo

5.00Four of us had a great Tokyo adventure with Tatsuki. He met us in the Yokohama cruise terminal on time and escorted us on a series of trains to Tokyo, including a diversion we requested to ride the Shinkansen bullet train. Having a knowledgable local guide made the experience much easier and trouble free than doing it on our own, and based on reports from shipmates it sounds like doing the tour this way on foot and by train was more enjoyable and memorable than experiencing Tokyo via car or bus tours. Tatsuki spoke perfect English and provided a wealth of information about the places we visited. Highly recommended!
Very nice tour of Tokyo

5.00My wife and put friends had a very good tour of Tokyo. Our guide was Yoshi, and not only was his English very good, but he was able to provide much insight to the history and culture. I highly recommend this tour.

5.00We had a great time in Tokyo. Our tour guide Tommy was fantastic! He met us at the port with a map of where we would go as we agreed upon before our arrival. We took the train into Tokyo and saw everything as planned. He explained everything as we went and took us to a great restaurant for lunch. We would highly recommended this tour and Tommy!

Private tour of Tokyo with Tatsuki Endo

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00Our tour with Tatsuki Endo was everything we had hoped it would be and more. Tatsuki showed us everything that we asked for. We used public transportation including a ride on a bullet train. We saw the Imperial Palace gardens which were beautiful, we experienced several Temples and Nezu Shrine with its beautiful Azalea bushes. We had a delicious Japanese inspired Italian lunch enjoyed by all of us. We experienced typical Japanese neighborhoods, markets, a typical Japanese grocery store, Shibuya Crossing and the statue of Hachito, the dedicated dog who walked his owner home everyday until he unexpectedly died at work. Hachito continued to wait for him until his own death almost 10 years until his owners death. Tatsuki traveled back to the port with us using public transportation to insure that we arrived safely. Before he left us at the pier, he pointed out some areas of Yokohama for us to explore the next day on our own. It was a wonderful day of exploring Tokyo with a wonderful guide! I highly recommend Tatsuki for your tours of Tokyo!

5.00Masami Aonumas was our outstanding guide who gave us tons of great info throughout our tour. Masami made us feel as though we were honored family and receiving the royal treatment. Our amazing day included these wonderful guided tours: Meiji Jingu Shrine including our delicious lunch break in a nearby restaurant Takeshita Street: It is the center of Japan's most extreme teenage cultures and my 18 year old granddaughter would have enjoyed more time there Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden: amazingly colorful gardens It was a treat to travel by train between our port at Yokohama and Tokyo with his expertise. I look forward to returning to Tokyo hopefully soon!
Amazing day in Tokyo!

5.00I had an amazing time in Tokyo with Mika as my guide. She promptly met me at the cruise port in Yokohama and we took the train to Tokyo. She skillfully navigated the complex train system and we also did a lot of walking. She had sent me an itinerary based on my interests and we visited every place. Mika is very friendly, professional and knows a lot about the city’s history and culture. This tour was awesome and Mika is a wonderful guide.
