Tokyo to/from Yokohama Port Shuttle for Diamond Princess Cruise

Yokohama Cruise Pier shuttle to Tokyo hotel

Reviewed by: Jackie C.

Be sure to fill out form request for "early walk-off with your own luggage" . We requested 8:30 walk-off time and got into the cruise terminal before 9:00. Saw the Green Tomato signs and personnel, had a quick shared shuttle trip to our Tokyo hotel. Excellent service.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

No Benefits

Reviewed by: Anonymous

The buses all have a long waiting time, between 60 to 90 minutes for the next ride. They are on schedule which is nice but the ride also goes too fast. The audio will cut off halfway while explaining a monument or something of the sort and then will never complete. The audio also usually didn't sync with what was being seen/ passed by which was annoying.

Two of the routes are almost exactly the same, one with an additional four stops in Roppongi but you're really paying for two and a quarter lines, not three.

Seating is only on the top deck so if it's boiling hot or pouring rain, you're out of luck. I have taken hop on, hop off buses around the world but this has to be one of the worst. Would NOT recommend.

Airport Transfers between Narita Airport and Central Tokyo < Shared Ride >

Shuttle service from narita

Reviewed by: Chibichanga

There was a slight difficulty in finding the reps for green tomato shuttle. Once we got on the shuttle, it was a hassle free and comfortable ride into Tokyo and our hotel. We forgot to make reservations for our return to narita so we took the airport limousine service (bus). It took much longer since we stopped at so many hotels and it cost only 1000 yen less. Definitely recommend the shuttle over train or bus.

Good trip

Reviewed by: Christine Australia

The pick up went very smoothly and they were at the port very early and identified themselves to us. We waited for a couple of other people and then we were off. Driver was very helpful and lifted all our luggage himself and would not let us help. We would use this company again.

Don't forget the sunscreen

Reviewed by: Nay Nay

It's mostly cloudy in Tokyo during the month of June. It was sunny and hot when we went on the bus ride. The whole experience was great except the sun shining excessively on us. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and bring something to keep you covered from the sun.

【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Essential for our trip and easy to use

Reviewed by: Anna

Our Veltra mobile wi-fi was waiting for us when we arrived at our hotel in Tokyo and served us very well during our entire trip. We got around great on our self-guided trip through Japan with the help of google maps and other apps and were able to keep in touch with family and friends back home. To preserve battery life, we often only turned it on when needed and carried a portable charger for times when we wanted to use it for more hours in the day (although it was never really needed, except for charging my phone). The price was very reasonable, including the delivery charge, drop-off at Narita Airport was easy, and it worked perfectly throughout our trip. I highly recommend this service.

Tokyo Hop On Hop Off Bus Tickets (1day or 2days)

Worst hop on hop off bus I have experienced

Reviewed by: Cas

I have been on many throughout my travels and this would be the worst experience I have had. The driver was terrible! The bus lurched, braked suddenly and all the other actions you can imagine from the roughest ride ever. I had to actually leave the tour about half way through as my back was hurting so much. Due to the infrequency of the tours we were only able to do the blue route which was a shame as all you really saw was the Tokyo tower and the rest was just driving around this huge City.
Very disappointing. It was the only black mark of all our travels in Japan which we absolutely loved.

Pretty Tokyo Buildings and Citylights

Reviewed by: Sheila

It was my first time to participate on a hop-on hop-off sightseeing tour. I used to kind of make fun of these "touristy" activities whenever I go on an out of the country trip. Surprisingly, I had fun with the tour! It was amusing to hear the guide talk non-stop. The bus left promptly so no time was wasted. As we drove along the expressway, I loved how the chilly air made my face numb (LOL). Also, pretty citylights view never gets old with me. Oh, and this sightseeing tour made me realize my new fascination -- buildings! Tokyo has one of the most interesting buildings I've seen so far.

Amazing Ride for a First Timer!

Reviewed by: John Paul

Indeed, the experience was great for a person new to the city! The view from the top of the bus is incomparable to that from inside a taxi or car. But, since it's open, the cold wind somewhat gave us chills, perhaps it's nice if they could provide blankets or whatever :) English audio guide is ok, I guess... not really into the history and stories of each place, just took pictures of everything! Instagram worthy! :)

10/10 Would Recommend (y)

Reviewed by: Geinah

It was the first ever tour I went on... ever! It's a great way to see the city especially for me, a first time traveler. We took the Odaiba Course and we passed through the Rainbow Bridge.

We also took photos of the Tokyo Tower while it was illuminated by 276 (as per the audio guide! Ha!). We were very fortunate that the stop light turned red at a good spot and for an enough amount of time to take nice IG photos from the open-top bus.

The Audio Guide was very helpful and the perky guide was very nice! I would totally recommend taking this tour. I will definitely do it again when I get the chance!

Awesome Night!

Reviewed by: Anna

The tour is perfect for first-time Tokyo visitors. The bus took us around the must-see sights such as the Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, Odaiba Marine Park, Tokyo's version of the Statue of Liberty and the Kabuki-za Theater (I can't remember the rest!). There was an audio guide that translated the commentaries, which was helpful, but after a while I took it off and just kind of figured it out. We went for the night tour in May and it was still pretty chilly, so be sure to bring a jacket!

It was nice seeing some of the highlights of Tokyo in a quick time. The audio guide had pretty strange facts that I didn't know about Tokyo too. But after a while, I just decided to ignore the audio and just enjoy the view.
Even in May after the sun went down it was rather cold!

Had a great time

Reviewed by: Cali

The tour was really nice and I got to see a lot of Tokyo that I might not have gone to otherwise. I was able to do all three route in one day, but that was with only getting off at two stops for an hour each. So you might only be able to do two of the routes if you want to get off at more places. I did notice a slight problem with the recorded tour cutting off and skipping to the next section if we were going to fast, but it didn't happen too often. Would definitely recommend if you want a quick overview of the area to see where it is you want to explore more later.

Tokyo to/from Yokohama Port Shuttle for Diamond Princess Cruise

Well organised - fair price - but a little cramped

Reviewed by: Rhod Tibbles

This company is obviously very popular for Yokohama transfers to Tokyo., There were may passengers waiting to get the transfer and this was well organised with a lot of staff coordinating booking details and the taxi. The tranfser was very efficient - my only complaint was that our taxi had to many passengers and luggage so a lot of luggage was inside the taxi whichy have little stretch room for what is effectively a long 1.5-2.0 hour journey. I did a lot of research and this company seem to be the best value for this type of transfer ....... Would use again if I came back.....

Dear Rhod Tibbles,

We are highly appreciated with you & your feedback.

Regarding to your luggage problem, in shared shuttle as first customer put luggage number only two per person, but actually bring hand carry also.
Although we decide the car type by the number of people and luggage, actually they bring lot. That makes it trouble those riding the same car.
Sorry about that.

Please contact or email us whenever if you have any inquiries for any place in Japan.

We are waiting for your next booking.

Not as good as I'd hoped

Reviewed by: dbuley

All 3 trips are worthwhile and there's adequate English translation. However I found the time between pickups too long. It meant that if you got off at a couple of things you struggled to complete the loop. They need a few more buses to make the average waiting time 30 minutes, not 60 or 90 minutes.

Reliable wifi router for my trip

Reviewed by: Chris

Veltra got the wifi unit delivered to my Tokyo hotel so I was able to start using it right after I checked in. I had brought my own spare battery to ensure that the charge would last through the day and the unit did everything I needed it to during my 3 weeks of travel. I would recommend this for both convenience and price. I returned the unit at the airport at their counter, but they also had an option wherebi could have dropped it in the mail in Japan before taking off. I opted to keep it until the airport so that I could still use it at Narita.

【Narita/Haneda Airport】WiFi Router Rental with Easy Pick-up and Return

Outstanding in every way!

Reviewed by: TokyoWedding2017

We rented a portable router for 2 weeks and couldn't believe how excellent the overall experience was. Easy to book and pay in advance, delivery to our hotel as promised, incredible strong router signal wherever we went, including subways, trains, elevators, etc. Our group had 10 devices on at one point and we couldn't believe how well it worked. Used skype instead of cell phones and left our cells on airplane mode throughout the trip. We dropped it off at Narita airport without a hitch when we flew home to Canada. Saw a lot of complaints in other reviews about problems with how long the battery lasted, but we didn't have any problems and only had to recharge it once during the day with our back up portable battery charger, after a very long day. Will definitely use this service wherever we can in the future! Wish they had it in Canada!!
