We did not stay in Yokohama before cruise as we flew from Melbourne direct & used the Princess transfer from the airport directly to the ship Sorry I can't help with accommodation reviews. You would have trouble with some of the tours as they were steep & lots of steps The tour in Gamagori would be OK for you as would the one to Mt Fuji
