About Tokyo
Tokyo opened as an international trading port only in 1941, centuries after Yokohama and Kobe, because for most of its history the bay here was too shallow for ocean ships and Yokohama did the work. Cruise ships now use the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal, opened in 2020 on the reclaimed waterfront, built to take vessels too large to pass under the Rainbow Bridge and reach the older pier upriver. The city centre is twenty minutes away on the driverless line that runs along the bay.
Within reach of the port
The waterfront you sail into
The terminal stands among the reclaimed islands of the bay, with the Rainbow Bridge and the towers of the city across the water. It is a view of Tokyo that almost no visitor arrives by, and it is best on the evening you leave.

The old city, east and north
Asakusa and the temple at its centre, the market streets around it, and the Sumida river running down to the bay. This is the part of Tokyo that was here before the port was, and it is a straight run from the terminal.
A day either side
Both the airports are close, so Tokyo is where many guests add nights to a voyage. Anything in the city is within an hour of the terminal on public transport.
Shore excursions
NYK Cruises run their own guided excursions at each port, booked by guests themselves through My ASUKA PLANS — the booking window opens before departure and depends on your cabin class. They are conducted in Japanese. Going ashore independently is always an option.
