Guided days from Yokohama

There is no tour desk at the pier. Whatever you want guided, you book it at home — so here is the whole shelf, priced, rated, and with our view on which calls actually need one.

Before you book anything

When a guide earns its money here

Three honest tests. If a day fails all three, walk it and keep the money.

The clock does not work

Anything more than about an hour from the berth eats a short call alive. A driver who knows the road is the difference between seeing it and seeing the car park.

The thing needs explaining

A shrine, a battlefield, a craft workshop. Without someone to tell you what you are looking at, you are looking at a building.

You cannot get in alone

Private homes, tea rooms, workshops, some festivals. A booking is the door, not a convenience.

Everything else in Yokohama — the market, the castle grounds, the main street, the bowl of whatever the port is famous for — you can do on your own feet with our day builder. We say so on each port's DIY-or-book verdict too.

The shelf

Every guided day from this berth

Sorted by how many people have actually been and said something afterwards. Prices are the operator's "from" price per person and move with the season.

Booking through these links costs you nothing extra and pays for this site. We do not take money to rank anything, and we leave out the ones we would not send a friend on.

Why we flagged these

The Yokohama days we would book

Our own ten for this port already mark which ones we think are worth handing to a guide. Here is the reasoning.

One rule, whoever is driving: be back on board 60 minutes before all-aboard. A reputable operator builds that in. Ask them to confirm it in writing before you pay.
