Why travelers choose Singh for Yokohama

The Tokyo to Yokohama chauffeur trusted by cruise passengers, families, and international visitors.

Yokohama is Japan second largest city and the country's first international trade port (opened 1859). Just 30 km south of Tokyo, Yokohama offers experiences distinct from Tokyo: Japan largest Chinatown with over 600 restaurants centered on the colorful Kanteibyo Temple, the modern Minato Mirai 21 waterfront with the 296-meter Landmark Tower and the iconic Cosmo Clock 21 Ferris wheel, the traditional Sankeien Garden with relocated historic Japanese buildings, the Victorian-era Red Brick Warehouse (now restaurants and craft beer halls), and Yamashita Park along the seaside with the historic Hikawa Maru ocean liner.

Yokohama is also Tokyo's main international cruise port. Osanbashi Pier (Yokohama International Cruise Terminal) is the embarkation and disembarkation point for Diamond Princess, Asuka II, and international cruise lines including Holland America, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity Cruises, Crystal, Silversea, and Seabourn. Singh provides door-to-door Tokyo hotel to ship gangway transfers handling all luggage, with stretch limousine available for VIP cruise embarkation. Same English-speaking driver throughout your day, fixed JPY pricing with all Shuto Expressway tolls included.

  • Fixed flat-rate pricing in Japanese Yen confirmed at booking
  • All Shuto Expressway tolls included (around 2,500 to 4,000 yen round-trip)
  • Osanbashi Pier cruise port direct to ship gangway transfers
  • Same English-speaking driver for entire 6 to 8 hour day trip
  • Customizable itinerary: cruise transfer, full day tour, or half-day
  • No tipping required, no surge pricing

Tokyo to Yokohama transportation comparison

JR Tokaido Line train vs Singh private chauffeur, compared.

The JR Tokaido Line is fast and affordable for station-to-station travel. Singh wins when door-to-door luxury, multi-stop tour, luggage handling, or cruise port access matters more than raw cost.

JR Tokaido Line / Train

  • Fast at 25 to 30 minutes Tokyo Station to Yokohama Station
  • Affordable at around 480 yen one-way
  • Trains every few minutes throughout the day
  • Station-to-station only, taxi or walk to your final destination
  • Yokohama Station to Minato Mirai requires another train transfer
  • Osanbashi Pier is a 15-minute walk from nearest train station
  • Heavy luggage difficult on packed Tokyo trains
  • No multi-stop touring, you handle navigation yourself

Singh Private Chauffeur

  • 45 to 70 minutes door-to-door via Shuto Expressway
  • From 35,000 yen one-way (cruise port) or 65,000 yen full day
  • Door-to-door from any Tokyo hotel to any Yokohama address
  • Direct Osanbashi Pier delivery to your ship gangway with luggage
  • Multi-stop full day tour: Minato Mirai, Chinatown, Sankeien, Red Brick
  • Same English-speaking driver throughout the entire day
  • All Shuto Expressway tolls included in your fare
  • Stretch limousine option for VIP cruise embarkation

When private chauffeur makes sense: Cruise passengers with luggage heading to Osanbashi Pier (the deal-maker scenario), families with strollers or significant baggage, multi-stop day tours covering distant areas like Sankeien Garden, business travelers heading directly to Pacifico Yokohama convention center, wedding parties for Hotel New Grand or Yokohama Royal Park ceremonies, and luxury travelers preferring door-to-door over station-to-station.

A day with Singh, hour by hour

What happens during your 6 to 8 hour Yokohama day trip.
