This is REALLY helpful! thank you. We're spending 3 full days in Tokyo prior to boarding. Just flummoxed by the cost/logistics of the off-ship activities and a bit hesitant to spend the $ as husband had an accident (on our own boat!) and has some temporary mobility problems, fingers crossed he'll be fit enough to do the required walking by then. I too am put off by the long bus trips, as you say, too short on the sight-seeing, too heavy on the transport. I'll print off your document and use it to make our plans this weekend. Thanks again.
