Train Alternative: Tokyo-Yokohama has excellent train connections (JR Tokaido Line, Yokosuka Line, Toyoko Line - 25-40 minutes). Private transfer recommended mainly for luggage convenience or groups of 3+.
Luggage Capacity: If you've accumulated shopping bags during Tokyo stay and moving hotels to Yokohama, private transfer removes the stress of managing bags on crowded trains.
Cruise Port Transfers: Yokohama is a major cruise port. If arriving/departing by cruise ship, we offer Yokohama Port to Tokyo hotel transfers (or vice versa). Specify cruise terminal when booking.
Tokyo Disney Resort: Yokohama to Tokyo Disney is about 45-60 minutes. If staying in Yokohama and visiting Disney, private transfer is very convenient option.
Timing Flexibility: Unlike airport transfers, there's no flight to catch. Book transfer at your preferred time - morning checkout, afternoon, whenever convenient.
Vehicle Selection: Most Tokyo-Yokohama transfers use 8-seater vehicle. Choose based on passengers + luggage. See "Select Vehicles" section.
Advance Booking: Minimum 24 hours recommended. Short distance makes last-minute booking easier than long-distance routes.
Return Transfer: If doing round-trip (TokyoβYokohamaβTokyo), book each direction separately for flexibility. Package discount available for same-day round trips.
Payment: Pay online at booking or with driver (cash JPY/credit card accepted).
Multi-City Itinerary: Many travelers do Tokyo (3 nights) β Yokohama (1 night) β continue to Hakone or return to Tokyo. We can coordinate multiple transfers - contact us for multi-leg package pricing.
Rush Hour Avoidance: If possible, avoid departures during rush hour (7:30-9:30 AM, 5:30-8:00 PM weekdays). Mid-morning or early afternoon transfers are quickest and most pleasant.
Bayshore Route: On clear days, the Bayshore Route offers nice views of Tokyo Bay, Rainbow Bridge, and industrial port areas. Not the fastest but most scenic - let driver know if you prefer views over speed!
