Travelers who want one quiet, personal hour of Japanese culture as a counterweight to a big-city port day.
The host meets you at Obacho bus stop, three stops beyond Azamino station in suburban Yokohama, well away from the pier, so the travel there and back takes longer than the ceremony. Bring socks for the tatami room.
It takes place at one venue, so there is no route to list.
Guide languages: English. Cancellation: For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. Run by Tea Ceremony At Private Home in Yokohama, suburban Tokyo.
Our own guides to the stops — so you know what you are booking before you book it.
Booked through Viator (a Tripadvisor company). There is rarely a tour desk at the pier, so book before you sail.

About 6 hours. The tour runs 1 hr 30 min; add half an hour to get off the ship and keep the hour before all-aboard free. The 90-minute ceremony needs a suburban train and bus trip each way; we allow about 5 hours in port for the outing.
