A flexible, unscripted experience designed entirely around your interests. Your host will adapt the day based on what excites you most

What 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!

What travelers think of this experience

Peter, Jan 2020

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.
