Short excursions Japan April 20

[FrankyBT]

Hi ! First time visiting Japan and would like to do Shore excursions but Cunard Shore excursion website is appalling(lodged a formal complaint by phone and on website) Has anybody found a reliable third party tour guides yet? Happy to join small group. Thanks

Especially upon disembarkation in Yokohama on April 20th. Please let us all know if you find anything. (And I wholeheartedly agree with you regarding their shore excursion website offerings!)

The roll call for your sailing is here if you want to meet other people on your sailing.

Just a thought - we leave the same cruise on April 20 and fly out of NRT that afternoon.  We decided to head directly to the airport and drop our bags after disembarking, then spend a few hours in the town of Narita.  It apparently has a nice temple and it's famous for unagi, which we both like.  Transport between the town and airport looks easy and the temple is a short walk from the station along a street lined with shops.

Very true about Narita. Been there many times and it is charming and worth a stop. We, however, are flying out of Haneda in the evening and wish Cunard would have a Tokyo tour and airport drop-off. Not listed yet on their website, and with 58 days to go - I hope it's soon!

It might not be offered until you're onboard, that's been my experience in other locations.

And I hope it happens, period - the cruise, I mean.  I’m a little worried about reports of COVID in Japan that might lead Cunard to cancel.  Although there’s still plenty of time to get it under control to everyone’s satisfaction.

Thank you, Host Hattie - good to know!
