Ships/Day:** 1 - **Avg. Time in Port:** 10.9h - **Departure Sailings:** 176 - **Visiting Sailings:** 250 - **Cruise Lines:** 10 ## Peak Season Busiest months: Apr (71 sailings), Mar (67 sailings), May (54 sailings) ## About Tokyo Tokyo is huge, and a single port call barely scratches the surface. Ships dock in the Odaiba waterfront area, connected to central Tokyo by the Yurikamome elevated train. The city is better understood as a collection of distinct neighbourhoods than as one place: Asakusa has the Senso-ji temple and traditional craft shops, Shibuya has the famous scramble crossing and youth fashion, Akihabara is wall-to-wall electronics and anime, and the Imperial Palace grounds in Chiyoda offer a quiet contrast. Toyosu Fish Market replaced the old Tsukiji market and has viewing galleries above the tuna auction floor and a rooftop with partial skyline views. The Meiji Shrine in Harajuku sits in a large forested park and is free to enter. The Tokyo Metro is efficient, signposted in English, and covers the entire city. Taxis are expensive but useful for groups. Tip: the rear door opens and closes automatically. Convenience stores (7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart) sell surprisingly good onigiri, sandwiches, and coffee for a few hundred yen. ## Quick Facts - **Currency:** JPY (Japanese Yen) - **Language:** Japanese - **Timezone:** Asia/Tokyo (UTC+9) - **Tipping:** Not customary; can be considered rude ## Location Coordinates: 35.6543, 139.7651 - [Open in Google Maps](https://www.google.com/maps/search/cruise+terminal+Tokyo/@35.6543,139.76512,13z) - [Open in Apple Maps](https://maps.apple.com/?q=cruise%20terminal%20Tokyo&ll=35.6543,139.76512&z=13) ## Things to Do in Tokyo Top-rated shore excursions that fit a typical ~11h port call.
