Tokyo is Japan's capital and a growing Asia-Pacific cruise homeport, with ships docking at Yokohama's Osanbashi Pier (45 minutes south) or the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal at Daiba. From Daiba, the Yurikamome rail line reaches central Tokyo in 25 minutes. The Imperial Palace gardens, Senso-ji temple in Asakusa, Shibuya crossing, and the Tsukiji outer market are the classic stops. Mount Fuji excursions are weather-dependent.
