Yes as long as the port of call before Shanghai is not also Japan.

Thank you for your reply.
Our cruise leaves Yokohama, we sail to Shanghai, leave for Naha Japan and then onto Hong Kong for the rest of the cruise.
Does this information help with my question?
Look forward to your reply.

That is considered Japan > China > Japan so a visa will be necessary.

So that is Japan-China-Japan which is not a transit and therefore transit without visa does not apply. You must get a visa in advance.
