Day-by-day itinerary

Day 01 Tokyo (Yokohama), Japan

Embarkation : 12pm | Depart : 3pm

Make your own way to Yokohama cruise terminal If you arrive early.

Explore Yokohama at your own leisure Yokohama and Edo began life as sleepy fishing villages. That changed in the early 17th century after Tokugawa Ieyasu became Shogun. Edo became the center of political power in Japan, a position the city retained even after the restoration of Imperial rule in 1866. Contemporary Tokyo may be the most astonishing city on earth. Itโ€™s a paradoxical mix of ancient tradition and postmodern culture. The Ginza โ€“ an international shopping mecca โ€“ stands near the serene grounds of the Imperial Palace, and the hyper-speed of 21st century consumerism is mysteriously reconciled with the elegance and serenity of traditional culture. Tokyo provides the traveler with a dizzying experience.
