Your hotel is near downtown Yokohama. You want to go to Harumi Terminal, which is near downtown Tokyo.

 

The only easy and direct route is a taxi, which will cost you about $150 - 200. Travel time about one hour.

 

Next you should ask the hotel concierge about shuttle buses to Tokyo. They probably have some. A shuttle bus has room for suitcases, will be much less expensive, and will get you to Tokyo Station in about 90 minutes. From Tokyo Station, a taxi to Harumi Terminal costs around ¥1500 and takes 10 - 15 minutes.

From Tokyo Station, you can ride the subway (no luggage storage) with a couple of transfers, to Harumi Terminal for ¥210 per person. Travel time is about 10 minutes.

The Kachidoki subway station near Harumi Terminal has free shuttle buses between the station and the Cruise Terminal (5 minute trip)

 

Narita Express - or many other JR trains - run from Yokohama station to Tokyo Station. Narita Express has luggage storage at the ends of each car. Other JR trains do not.

Narita Express from Yokohama Station to Tokyo Station takes around 20 minutes and costs about ¥1300 per person.

JR trains from Yokohama Station to Tokyo Station take 30 - 40 minutes and cost around ¥600 per person

 

One more option, more complex, but less expensive.

There are many inexpensive shuttles and trains going from Yokohama to Tokyo. Many of the trains pass through Hamamatsucho Station to get to Tokyo station.

Hamamatsucho JR Station in Tokyo is the terminus for the Tokyo Monorail, a very good option to get to Haneda Airport.

Next to the Hamamatsucho Station is the Daimon Subway Station. The Toei O-Edo subway line will take you directly from Daimon Station to Kachidoki Station in about 10 minutes for ¥210 per person.

Great info, thank you so much!!!

Tokyo's Harumi Cruise Terminal is just a short distance North of Haneda Airport.

Yokohama's Osanbashi Cruise Terminal is just a short distance South of Haneda Airport.

 

Larger ships cannot fit under the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, so cannot access the Harumi Terminal. Docking fees for the Harumi Terminal are also 400% higher than the Osanbashi fees, keeping many smaller ships away.

 

Narita Airport has a much wider range of overseas flight options, and generally far better arrival and departure times. Narita Express train was designed to carry travellers and their bags easily and quickly to Tokyo Station (60 minutes), Shinjuku Station (75 minutes), and Yokohama Station (90 minutes). There are also many limousine buses available, slower, but cheaper.

 

Haneda Airport is newly enlarged and updated. A very nice option that is nearly downtown. Overseas flights to North America often depart very late at night. The Tokyo Monorail runs from Haneda to Hamamatsucho / Daimon on the Tokyo waterfront in 15 minutes, with free WI-FI onboard.

Hamamatsucho to Tokyo's Harumi Terminal is a short trip by taxi, train, subway.

There are also subway trains and many transfer buses from Haneda Airport to the Yokohama area. Limousine bus from Haneda to Yokohama Station and Hotels takes around 30-40 minutes.

We are staying at Intercontinental Hotel in Yokohama, and need to get to Hurumi Cruise Port.

I think you will really enjoy the tour. I booked him again for 2 days in August so am hoping the new travel rules don't prohibit it.

He was very excited that I wrote a review on here. If you book tell him you heard about on CC from Clark and Mary.

I just emailed Yosel that you recommended him!!!

Thanks so much

We booked this tour for our October 2017 cruise to Cuba on the Carnival Paradise. The tour was 6 hours and the price was 200 cuc if you wanted the photos or 150 cuc without them. Our guide Yosel was amazing. He spoke fluent English and had a great personality. It felt like you were touring with a friend. We met at the square across the street from the cruise terminal. Yosel provided us with a wide variety of stops, exploring new Havana, old Havana, and other top touristy stops. Some of the places we went were off the beaten path and not on the usual tour guides agenda. I would say that this was probably the best tour we have ever taken. We are headed back to Cuba next year and will definitely be booking with Yosel again.

Thank you for this.

I'm thinking of using him..

I️ just got back on a cruise on empress of the seas . We did a private tour with Havana journeys . The cost is 100. Cucs for 2 . We had a tour with Ana and a driver in a 56 Ford she spoke perfect English . The tour was well worth it and Cuba is perfectly safe . We were very Skeptical at first . I️ have a new respect for Cubans now. Any questions I️ would be happy to answer.

My wife and I really enjoyed this... thanks for the tips, we are going in August. Great pictures also..... Thanks again

So you have 2 nights at the Denali Princess? This is superb. BUT, do you know the details of the tour and shuttle buses, especially the benefit of the shuttle bus? Simple to take advantage of, if of interest. Full details if needed.

 

As for the half day, Ride the shuttle bus to Savage River, etc All free activities. :)

Please provide details of the tour and shuttle buses... just what I need. What do we do that first 1/2 day... best wildlife sighting chance.....

Thank you

Just spoke to someone at the Reserve Denali 800 number. He informed me that the tour buses have much better seats than the shuttle buses. The shuttle bus seats have regular old bench "school bus seats". He said the tour buses have been upgraded with comfortable seats. Anyone who has been on both, would love to hear their experience... Thank you

Do you need to let Princess know ahead of time about your medical devices?

I bring my tens unit all the time. Never been questioned about it. I also bring my CPAP, and they never say anything about it either.

I just got back today... the Arch is alive and well... there were all kinds of whales there also...

we saw many sailing down, and Friday when we left, there were many starting to leave the Sea of Cortez...

I really like this idea. Will they take US dollars????

Most take US $$$

Was in Cabo last Saturday, can confirm no whales.

Has anyone seen whales in Cabo this week?

Which vendors do you like to use? Traveling with an 8 year old, can they go on the zodiac?

Is am or pm better?

Thanks for the info....

How is the Whale watching in Cabo in mid March? Should we prebook or will there be plenty of options after we arrive?

Trying to decide which is better, NB or SB? We are spending 2 nights in Danali and want to go to Wonder Lake. We have 1night at McKinley. Anyone who has been there in September, please share your experiences... thanks

The trains run every half hour. They are commuter trains. If you don't have a lot of luggage, this is the way to go. Here a great website with a lot of good information
