Tours Excursions Transportation:

When you board a taxi, note that the vehicle's left rear door is opened and closed remotely by the driver. You are not supposed to open or close it by yourself. Furthermore, you are not supposed to tip taxi drivers, as the service is included in the price.

If you do not speak Japanese, or your destination is not a well known place, it is recommended to give your driver the precise address of your destination on a piece of paper or, even better, point it out on a map, since the Japanese address system can be confusing even to local taxi drivers.

Shopping and Food

Yokohama also has many shopping spots for all fashions. Especially, Minato Mirai 21 has lots of large shopping malls. The west side of Yokohama has all kinds of entertainment, music, fashion and of course Yodobashi camera and Big camera for electronic shops.

The currency in Japan is the yen. It comes in denominations of ¥10,000, ¥5,000 and ¥1,000 notes, as well as ¥500, ¥100, ¥50, ¥10, ¥5 and ¥1 coins.

ATMs in Japan are becoming more useful, and most can be used to withdraw funds from overseas accounts. Post offices also offer ATMs. Major credit cards are accepted at a majority of stores and restaurants in large urban areas, but if you plan on spending any time in rural areas, be sure to carry sufficient cash. Japan is still very much a cash society and some stores, hotels and restaurants regardless of location refuse credit cards.

Don't tip, as it's considered rude!

Osanbashi Pier

The Osanbashi International Passenger Terminal (�傳�񋴍��ۋq�D�^�[�~�i��, Ōsanbashi Kokusai Kyakusen Terminal), also known as Osanbashi Pier, is located between Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park . It is one of the piers where international cruise ships dock when they visit Yokohama . The 400 meter pier has walkways and green spaces that are open to the general public, making Osanbashi Pier an interesting attraction even for travelers not boarding a ship.

The pier was originally built in 1894, but was reconstructed in 2002 as a passenger ship terminal. Its bold new design incorporates grass and floor boards that mimic rolling waves. The pier is one of Yokohama's best spots for a walk and for unobstructed views of the Minato Mirai skyline. Below the walking area there are boarding facilities, shops, restaurants and a hall for small exhibitions and events.

Getting there and around

Osanbashi Pier is located between Minato Mirai and Yamashita Park . Since all three attractions are connected by a pleasant waterfront promenade, Osanbashi Pier is most conveniently accessed by foot from either of the other two sites.

Alternatively, the Osanbashi Pier is a five minute walk from Nihon-Odori Station on the Minato Mirai Line (6 minutes, 230 yen from Yokohama Station). It is also a 15 minute walk from Kannai Station along the JR Negishi Line (5 minutes, 150 yen from Yokohama Station).

The Akaikutsu Loop Bus stops right in front of the Passenger Terminal (Osanbashi Kyakusen Terminal bus stop). The loop bus travels between many of Yokohama 's sightseeing attractions and costs 220 yen per ride or 500 yen for a day pass.

Impressive and Ancient Temples in Tokyo Japan

Tokyo, the capital of Japan , is a huge metropolis and one of the most frenetic and futuristic cities in the world. Tokyo is located at the very center of the Japanese archipelago, and offers some impressive architecture, amazing temples and imperial gardens. The amazing Mt. Fuji towers over the city.

In downtown Tokyo walk down one of the crowded streets with endless buzzing neon signs. Try a fresh sushi or sashimi or stop at one of the stylish shops selling the best of Japanese Goods.

In the center of Tokyo stands the Imperial Palace, the residence of Japan’s Imperial Family. Stroll around in some Japanese gardens such as the Sankeien Gardens or Kyu Iwaskai-tei. To take in the entire spectacle, ascend the Tokyo World Trade Centre near the watefront for panoramic views of the city and Tokyo Tower, which is taller than the Eiffel Tower in Paris France.

Ginza is the primary shopping district, while Shibuya is famous for its nightlife, shopping and dining. Hibiya, located in Chiyoda Ward, is surrounded by the Imperial Palace grounds and Tokyo Station. Shinjuku district offers great dining and shopping. Nearby Shinjuku Station is the city’s busiest train station.

Head to one of Tokyo’s impressive and ancient temples to savour some traditional Japanese culture. Visit Tokyo’s oldest temple, Sensoji Buddhist Temple in Asakusa Kannon, built in the early 7th century to honor Kannon, the goddess of mercy. Other famous temples worth a visit are the Nedujinja Shrine and Meiji Shrine.

Staying a couple days in a pre or post cruise hotel gives you the opportunity to discover the inland of Japan. Take a trip Kamakura, Japan’s ancient capital, with its many shrines and famous temples. Don’t miss a visit to the Kotoku-in temple, home of a monumental outdoor bronze statue of Amida Buddha. Nature lovers can explore Hakone and Mount Fuji National Park.

Tokyo’s two airports are Narita Airport , which is used for international flights, and Haneda Airport (or Tokyo International Airport) where mostly domestic flights arrive, but also some international flights. The city of Yokohama does not have its own airport. Yokohama can be reached by plane from Tokyo’s two main airports.

Narita Airport is located approximately 70km or 43miles from downtown Tokyo. Haneda is situated 14km or less than 9 miles from the city.

Several establishments offer a complimentary shuttle service to/from Narita airport, swimming pool and free Wi-Fi. JR Narita Train Station, AEON Shopping Mall and Narita-san Shinsho-ji Temple are all a 15-minute taxi ride away.

You can also catch a cab to the city centre, but this is the most expensive option.

Travel between Haneda and Yokohama

From Haneda Airport you can catch the Keikyu Line’s Airport Express to Yokohama station. You will reach the station in 30-35 minutes.

Important : the Airport Express has several variants. On trains which have final destination Shin-Zushi or Kanazawa-Bunko you can stay on the train for the entire trip.

Foreign traveler caught trying to sneak into Japan by climbing down rope from cruise ship

Goes over the side one day into cruise that already started in Japan .

On Monday, the MSC Bellissima started its latest Japanese voyage, departing the port of Yokohama in the evening and sailing west through the night. The ship, operated by Switzerland’s MSC Cruises, docked in Kobe at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon the following day, and was scheduled to leave for its next stop late that night.

Shortly before 10 p.m., though, the Kobe Prefectural police received a call from a witness informing them that someone had fallen from the ship into the sea . A search and rescue team was dispatched, and after arriving on the scene they found the man the witness had seen, who appears to be a French man around 50 years old .

Now, if you’re shocked that a reputable cruise operator cam run such a dangerous ship that passengers are falling off of it even while it’s docked at a modern port with calm waters, it should be pointed out that this wasn’t an accident that occurred while the man wasn’t using the vessel’s facilities in ways they were designed for. As a matter of fact, the man had been purposefully trying to leave the ship…by climbing down a rope so that he could sneak into the country illegally .

As you can see from the above photos of the MSC Bellissima , it’s by no means a little boat. Regardless of what point the man started his descent from, it’s a long way down.

It’s unclear if dropping into the water first and then making his was to shore had been the man’s plan all along or if he’d accidentally fallen from the rope. Though he suffered some scrapes on his hands, he came away from the incident with no major injuries and is reportedly in stable condition .

It’s a baffling series of events for many reasons , not the least of which is that, with the MSC Bellissima starting this cruise from the port of Yokohama, the man ostensibly had to already have entered the country in order to board the ship in the first place, so it would seem that he’d be in possession of a valid passport that would allow entry into Japan under more conventional means. It wasn’t like the night he went down the rope was his last chance to reach Japanese soil either. After leaving Kobe, the ship’s next port of call is Kochi City, and though that’s followed by a stop at Jeju Island in Korea, after that the cruise returns to Japan to dock at Kagoshima City before coming back to Yokohama at the end of the cruise, so it would seem he had at least three more chances to get off the boat in Japan without resorting to stuntman-style tactics.

On the other hand, it could be that the man lacked a proper passport or knew he’d be denied entry into Japan for other reasons, but that just raises the question of why someone in such a position would board a cruise knowing they’d have to sneak back into the county, and apparently was so antsy about the situation that they made the attempt the very next day.

You can bet that those are things that the local immigration authorities, whom the man has been turned over to, will be looking into during their investigation and questioning.

Shore Excursion Details

Mexican dancing horses, ensenada, mexico.

Added to Favourites!

• 3 1/2 hrs Estimate Duration

Watch a highly entertaining dancing horse show at Fuego Cocina del Valle, a distinctive and wonderfully atmospheric venue in the heart of Guadalupe Valley, Baja California’s wine country. A brief introduction to the estate will set the stage for the performance to follow, but nothing quite compares to watching it in person from a front-row seat. Dancing horse shows are thought to have originated in the court of Imperial China in the 3rd century B.C. and have since spread throughout the world. In this case, the horses are trained to “dance” to a traditional Mexican beat in a beautifully choreographed and dramatic fashion that will leave you mesmerized by their abilities. The accompanying music is an essential part of the pageantry as the horses are trained to respond to it. Dancing horse performances are often reserved for parades and fairs, which makes this exclusive show all the more special.

• See a performance of dancing horses at a premier venue in the Guadalupe Valley. • Gain an understanding of how the horses are trained to perform. • Be awed by the prodigious talents of the horses and how they respond to the riders.
