Creator's Key Takeaways

If you booked or are planning your cruise from Tokyo, Japan for an Asia itinerary, it's a wonderful experience.

We had a great time with it last summer.

Cruising here for a westerner is just as much about cultural immersion as it is straight up relaxation.

One of the coolest things about sailing from here is the great sendoff with a full band and lots of family members waving goodbye.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Stay in Tokyo or Yokohama for a few days before the cruise to recover from jet lag and orient yourself.
✓Get some cash in yen for expenses, as credit cards may not work everywhere.
✓Use limo buses for airport transfers with luggage, as they are cost-effective and comfortable.
✓Double-check with your cruise line which terminal you are sailing from to avoid confusion.
✓Book limo buses online ahead of time for convenience.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Intimidation and overwhelm from Tokyo's vastness and information overload — Break it down using chapters in the description and take your time to orient yourself.
Jet lag and long distances from airport to terminal — Stay overnight in Tokyo or Yokohama for a few days to recover and experience the culture.
Navigating public transportation with luggage — Use limo buses or taxis for convenience, and avoid peak rush hours on trains.
