Private Licensed Tokyo Expert: Full-Day Bespoke City Tour

Explore Tokyo's most iconic districts — Asakusa, Shibuya, Shinjuku and the Imperial Palace — guided by a nationally licensed, multilingual expert on an entirely private itinerary tailored to you. This is Tokyo at your pace, through a connoisseur's eyes.

What to expect

Your guide meets you at the terminal and whisks you into Tokyo's layered world: the incense haze of Sensō-ji, the electric scramble at Shibuya Crossing, the raked gravel calm of Imperial Palace East Gardens. Lunch is arranged at a chef-selected restaurant befitting your taste. The day is a seamless private narrative rather than a checklist, ending with enough time to return comfortably before all-aboard.

Good to know

Book well in advance — licensed private guides are in high demand. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time so your guide can plan the return; Tokyo International Cruise Terminal (Ariake) is roughly 30–40 min by taxi or direct Yurikamome rail from central Tokyo.
