- Today we tour the Sensoji Temple area of Tokyo with our guide Toshi. He did an excellent job touring us around Tokyo and the Sensoji Temple Area. We will show you all the great areas he showed us in near the Sensoji Temple and the meiji shrine area. He also showed us an amazing restaurant in the area of the Sensoji Temple that make what he called “Tokyo Pizza”! It was fantastic!
We thought our guide Toshi today was great. Here’s a link to his Tours by Locals page:

Japan is definitely on our bucket list. We loved these videos. Your guide Toshi seemed fantastic. It makes it so much more meaningful. I also adore how kindly and respectfully you speak of every country you visit and the people that live there.
Oh thank you. And guides can really make or break whether you like the city or not. So glad we had a fantastic guide there.
Kudos to you for your extraordinary filming of the ship going under the bridge in Japan. As I watch your very prolific videos I feel like I’m there with you. I could never be as adventurous as you guys are Thanks for sharing☺️
Thanks for your kind words, and thank you for following along with us on our journey.
I docked in Tokyo both times in April 2024. I did tours in all of our ports through the cruise ship. One thing I noticed was that all of the guides carried a sketch book in which they had written key details like historical key facts, diagrams on the layout of the site, words in Japanese and so on. I normally took pictures of their book as they held it up on the bus. Many also carried a dry erase board where they wrote down meeting times for when we were on our own. I was very impressed with the Japanese tour guides, including the transfer to the airport. I had gotten to Japan from the Philippines and then went home for a month before returning to Tokyo to head north through Japan and then on to Alaska. I really enjoyed my time in Japan.
We feel like Japan was absolutely absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. We love to read them.
Amazing Tokio 👍
Lep pozdrav iz Slovenije
Thank you!
We leave next Friday for 2 weeks in Japan. So the timing of these videos is great and has me even more excited for Japan! Thanks so much for sharing. Love following your adventures!!
Have a wonderful trip, and thanks so much for following along on our journey.
I want to go to Japan so badly!! I'll have to settle with living vicariously through you guys for now. Thanks for sharing your adventure!!
Thanks so much for following along with the center journey. Glad we could take you to Japan.😀
Beautiful place, it makes me want to visit Japan. Thank you for letting us visit with you
Absolutely. Thanks so much for joining us on our journey.
Loved the part where you go under the bridge! Just WOW! Thank you for sharing your cruise with me!
Thanks for sailing along with us
Not to take anything from your send off - they've given every cruise I've watched that sailed from Yokohama a good send off. I mentioned on your previous tokyo video that it was my interest in (addiction to) japan and running out of english speaking youtubers in japan that led me to watch a cruise video sailing out of Yokohama that led to my interest in (addiction to) cruise videos. The Japanese people as a culture are wonderful. I'm so glad that you've gotten to experience it 1st hand. Japan and Alaska are my 2 bucket list places to visit.
I just want people to realize that it's not because of the fact that you're on a World Cruise with lots of public interest. If I'm honest, I've seen other cruises get a bigger turnout for sail off. When watching a 7 day cruise that sailed out of Yokohama regularly on Saturday night somebody said that families would go to the port for picnics and to see the ships off as a thing to do. The Yokohama port has always impressed me with that green space. So many ports try to keep people out, but Yokohama encourages families to come.
That is really nice to hear. We just assumed it was because we were on the world cruise but how wonderful this is just a regular event for all cruises. Thanks for sharing this with us.❤️
Thanks for sharing, I love the Temples. That was a great send off❤
Thank you!
I did a cruise of Japan last year. It is one of my favorite places I have visited. Can't wait to go back 😍
Us as well, Japan is definitely a go back
Another great video.....Japan looks so interesting! 😊
Thanks so much for your kind words and Japan was incredible.
Wow another amazing vlog I missed the live yesterday. The bridge was a 😢reminded me of our bridge here in Maryland.
Thanks for a great tor. I love how you give a great explanation of the port.
Our pleasure!
Our NCL ship was small, but the sendoff and greetings were amazing. I did 4 days in Tokyo and wonderful and also my favorite.
We give Tokyo two thumbs up!
Another little tip about the trains. When you head to the “suburbs” Of Tokyo, on some lines the train would separate and head to different destinations. So, do pay close attention to the signage and watch out for those.
Absolutely. This is a great tip!
Outstanding video! Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!

yes, inbound tourism
knowledge is very important, a local tour guide is the best when visiting countries.
In the park when you were visiting the shine,
at the area bowing your head
before going through the large Japanese wooden portal entrance,
I felt the holiness of this place jump off the page
that place has sooo much spiritual energy there
It was truly special to see a Japanese wedding procession there too
Isn’t it great when places like that touch us in such a special way. Thanks so much for sharing all of this with us.
Thank you
Mike & Nancy, Thanks again for the great adventure. Given me motivation to sign up for a Japan cruise. Can't wait to see it myself. My wife and I are retired Air Force and did visit northern Japan, Misawa AB, via military hops more than 20 yrs ago. We enjoyed that visit a good deal. Thinking maybe you were associated with the military in some way, lived in Germany and New Mexico. We were stationed in Germany for more than 10 yrs and I did a tour at Kirtland AFB in the late 1990's. Anyway really enjoying your videos. Good Luck.
Thank you so much for letting us know a bit about you. Our daughter was in the Air Force. However, when we lived in Germany, we were ex. Mike’s company was building the avionics on a German business jet. Thanks so much for your service. We appreciate you!
Did the temple in April. Amazing how many people were there. Loved the locals dressing in traditional clothing. I went around the corner and went to a traditional tea and then samurai museum. The trains are excellent so happy you went !
It was absolutely wonderful. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We love to read things like this.
thank you, hugs
You are so welcome
That's Tokyo Skytree - Tokyo Tower is a separate structure. Tokyo Skytree is the tallest of the two.
Thank you.
Yay, another phase 2 post!
Thank you!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
You are very welcome
another lovely video of your travels! You've been doing a great job with all the place names and your interest in the history and culture of the places you visit make your videos so interesting and enjoyable. Just a couple of notes for you: the silver tower you saw from Asakusa is the Tokyo Sky Tree. There is a much older and smaller Tokyo Tower in a different part of Tokyo, built to resemble the Eiffel Tower but painted red and white. The Tokyo style okonomiyaki is called monja and there is a third style in Hiroshima (cooked on both sides), so hopefully something for you to try on your next visit to Japan!
Thank you so much for sharing this information with us. Also, thank you for following along with us on our journey!
Amazing sites, food, everything!👏👏👏
Thanks so much!
We are going to be in Tokyo next year. Could you spell your guide's name as we would like to use him.
Loving your videos and watching them religiously. Thanks so much.

Love all of this! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
WOW
Thank you!
Hey a quick question about how they’re treating the credit they offer for holding 100 shares- do they just give one sum for the whole world cruise or does it reset every segment? Oh, and we love watching your guys journey!!! Thanks for sharing your story 😊
For the world cruise they did it kind of weird. They gave everyone with 100 shares a lump sum of $1000 on board credit. And they also did it as refundable.
I enjoy taking videos going under the bridges and agree that the top deck with a good view of the before and after and the superstructure of the ship is the best place to be. I'm enclosing a link to the video I took going under the Tampa Bay bridge back in 2019. th-cam.com/video/2QroSNDOYvY/w-d-xo.html I cleaned up my video quickly so I could show it to our captain because I wanted to use his voice, with his permission, and really enjoyed his reaction to how close the super structure is to the bottom of the bridge. The next time I went under that bridge, I watched from the bridge viewing room on the NCL Pearl and saw how non eventful the view is that the captain or staff captain has going under these big bridges. That explained his brief, "jaw drop" reaction that I enjoyed getting from him during my short video, but that was followed by his response which I added into my video that the stacks in the back were the highest point of our ship. Looking forward to meeting you folks when I'm on the ship with you in August. If I don't run into you, don't be surprised if you find a 'cruising duck' on your cabin door.
That was a great video you took under the Tampa bridge. It looked closer than 12 feet. I’m sure we will run into each other when you’re on board. Please say hello and if you see us in the windjammer at breakfast or lunch, don’t hesitate to sit down and share a meal with us.😀
wouldn't the clearance under the bridges change with the tides? If so then they would have a certain window that would allow for safe travel underneath the bridge.
Yes, exactly. The captain has all those water level heights and calculations. It just looked to us like it was so close.
Curious. Tipping. Which counties did you tip. Maybe a summary after cruise it may be a continent thing
This is a great question and a complex topic. We may do a full video on this when we return. But a short answer is we would often consult Google as to what the standard tipping practices are in the various countries.
@@livingphase2 thank you
Nice😂
Thanks.
Looking forward to moving on from Japan.Surprised no face masks in the crowded markets. You mention soy sauce and my stomach lurches.After three food poisonings from Asian food......never again.I would love to just sit on your balcony and watch the ocean for a bit.
There were a few people who were facemasks. Perhaps we didn’t catch any on video. And and if you were on the cruise with us, we would invite you to come and sit on our balcony with us.😉
