Simple Steps to Book Your Japan Shared Group Tour

Reviews from Japan Shared Shore Excursion Travelers

Excellent experience with Japan Shore Excursions

"We used Shore Excursions Asia for 3 tours with our Holland America Circle Japan cruise. Lara was our contact and it all went so smoothly. Her communication was excellent and we were all so happy with our tours of Kyoto, Hiroshima and Gokoyama. Small groups with wonderful English speaking, kind guides and drivers. Waiting at the port for us all with signs and getting back to the ship in plenty of time was managed perfectly.Lara added more people to our group of 4. Payment was easy. We saw so much that we would have missed as the ship tours were booked out and more expensive. I would not hesitate to use this company again. Thank you Lara"

- Tania Patterson / Holland America Cruise

Amazing Service and Flexibility

"We recently toured Japan on a cruise but do not like to do excursions with busloads of people. Lara was our amazing agent and planned individual guides and drivers for us in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka. The guides just could not have been nicer, spoke good English, and the drivers were extremely competent while driving impeccable and comfortable vans.

Having been in the service industry for 40 years, I cannot stress enough the level of superior service Fiona and her company provide. If their prices seem high, just remember you get what you pay for."

- Capt_Asa / Norwegian Spirit Cruise

Excellent shared tour of Matsuyama, Japan

"We booked a tour of Matsuyama Japan with Japan Shore Excursions. Sammy was very helpful with getting us booked and keeping us informed on the logistics (pickup location, english-speaking guide, etc). Haruko was our guide and she did an amazing job. She kept our group moving but we did not feel hurried. She also did an excellent job of explaining some of the history of the sites we visited (Dogo Onsen area, Ichiteji Temple, Shiki Museum and Matsuyama Castle). We even stopped by a local to purchase some tangerines which were delicious."

- Nadya H. / Diamond Princess Cruise

Wonderful shore excursion in Kyoto with Felix's Group

"We were very delighted about the service provided by Felix Tran and our Kyoto Highlights Tour. Our guide Chiyomi was very charming, spoke a very good English and provided us with very much interesting information. The booking procedure was easy and reponse times from Felix always very short! We can only recommend Japan Shore Excursions."

- Brigitta H. / Celebrity Millennium Cruise

Great Group Shore Excursions in Japan

"We did three Excursions with Shore Excursions Asia while touring Japan. Our guides were fluent in English, were well prepared and versed in the local history and provided expert tours and compassionate care for our group. Our drivers were courteous and helpful and safely drove us to all of our destinations. We would definitely use this tour group again. We had a great time."

- Bradley B. / Oceania Riviera Cruise

FAQs About Japan Shared Shore Excursions for Cruise Travelers

Best time of the day in September, Japan

We monitor cruise ship timetables in real time and adapt accordingly. If your ship is delayed or rerouted, we’ll do our best to adjust your Japan shared shore excursion or offer alternatives. Our Back to Ship Guarantee ensures you won’t be left behind.

Our Japan shared tours typically include 12 to 16 guests, ensuring a personal and comfortable experience. This small-group format makes it easy to connect with fellow cruisers and enjoy smooth logistics during the tour.

Some Japan shared shore excursions and destinations are wheelchair-friendly, while others may involve stairs or uneven terrain. Please let us know your mobility needs in advance, and we’ll recommend the best accessible options for your cruise port.

Not at all. All our shared shore excursions in Japan are led in English by lisenced local guides. You'll be able to ask questions, learn cultural insights, and navigate comfortably without speaking Japanese.

Absolutely! Many of our guests are solo cruisers who enjoy meeting fellow travelers on shared Japan shore excursions. It’s a safe, budget-friendly, and sociable way to explore Japan.

Each tour is designed with your cruise port’s arrival and departure time in mind. When you submit your inquiry, just include your ship name and docking time. We’ll confirm only the options that align with your schedule.

In the event of cancellation, we will refund any payment made to Japan Shore Excursions (less any cancellation fee that is applicable) within 14 days of our receipt of your written cancellation request.

The cancellation fee will be calculated as follows:

∎ More than 40 days prior to trip departure: 10% of the deposit paid is non-refundable. This will be saved for your next trip with us. The rest of the deposit paid will be refunded (bank fee levied by your end)

∎ 40 – 30 days prior to trip departure: 35% charged of the deposit paid

∎ 29 – 15 days: 50% charged of the deposit paid

∎ 14 – 10 day: 75% charged of the total booking value

∎ Less than 10 days or No show: 100% charged of the total booking value

If the minimum number of guests isn’t met, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance and provide a full refund of any payment made. You can also choose to switch to a private tour or another shared option if available.
