You are going to have to pick one location, Tokyo or near the cruise terminal in Yokohama. We chose being close to the terminal, prices were better there. We’ll be using public transportation to move back and forth into Tokyo to sightsee

Thanks!

Yokohama Best Western. Terminals are very close. All hotels are small in a Japan. Bring comfee footwear. Download google translate. Japan is my favourite place so far.

Also suggest airbnb, but want to say you need to measure your expectations in terms of size of accommodation. Real estate is at a premium. No hotel room in Tokyo at a layman’s price will be “spacious”.

I agree with the poster above - rooms in Tokyo and Japan in general will be small but well organized. Don't knock a small hotel room until you try it!
Vella
Agreed. Rooms maybe smaller in Japan but they are efficiently laid out.

There have been problems with air bnb in Japan, you might want to check first. Probably you should go a few days before your cruise to the shinjuku area which has good transportation to and from the airport and Yokohama. There is a Japan Travel friendly Discussion group that has a lot of information.
Barb
Thanks, I will look for it online.

We were in the very first cohort a couple of years ago with Japan Panoramic Tours who do days tours of Tokyo. They are still going strong and, at least then, we're the only tour group doing this and an excellent substitute for hop - on hop - off busses that Tokyo does not have. There is a pick up in central Shinghaku (sp?).
Barb
Thanks, will check them out.

Finding inexpensive rooms in Tokyo is tough; finding inexpensive Large-ish accommodations is theoretically possible....I’ve never seen them, but it has to be possible

Small and expensive is pretty much the standard for accommodations in Japan compared to Canadian expectations, with Tokyo and the "destination" parts of it being pretty much the extreme end of that.
You may want to consider looking on a map view of hotel websites. I usually filter it down to the lowest pricing bracket and see if there are obvious clusters around as those are likely the cheaper areas. Keeping in mind that there will be a reason for the cheapness, so it's always worth reading through reviews, ratings and travel guides on that one. If the primary reason it's cheaper is because you have to travel farther to get to the action, it may still be worth it given the efficiency of Tokyo's public transport system.
It will likely be more crowded than you expect/are used to, but you do have the flexibility to try to go outside the rush hour times as a tourist, in most cases, so it may be reasonable for travelling with day bags.

All accommodations in Japan but especially in Tokyo are small and exoensive. They make good use of thr space though so you'll have everything you need, just very cozy.
Barb
Thanks, Do you have the name of a Local Tour company we could use to see some of the highlights of Yokohama and Tokyo
