Odaiba water bus timetable 2013/4/21 15:00
Hello! I'm looking at the Water Bus website to check on timetables for Hinode Pier departing for Odaiba Seaside Park.
http://www.suijobus.co.jp/price/index.html

I don't understand Japanese but it seems to have two timetables? For one table, the earliest departure is 11:00am. But in another table that has the word "Hotaruna" (google translate), the earliest departure is 10:45am.

what is the difference between the two timetables?

Also how far in terms of walking distance is Aquacity from Palette Town? I was surprised to see 3 separate docking stations for Odaiba as I was under the impression all 3 areas (Aquacity, Palette Town, Big Sight) were very near each other.

I can only find one timetable. Departures from Hinode Pier are as follows:

11:25 (does not always operate)
12:05
12:50
13:35
14:25
15:05
15:45
16:30
17:15
18:00 (from April 10 to October 31 only)

Also how far in terms of walking distance is Aquacity from Palette Town?

5-15 minutes depending on where in Aquacity to where in Palette Town:

ホタルナ

These were the characters on the 2nd timetable. (I hope it shows on your screen). Maybe it is referring to the futuristic looking boat? So does that mean the other timetable is not an ordinary cruise boat, not the one with so many windows?

Now I found the second timetable, although I am slightly confused why there is a red remark stating "平日・土日祝日" or "weekdays, weekends, national holidays", as they don't have that written on other timetables.

In any case, Hotaluna departures seem to be daily at 10:45, 14:00 and 16:00.

The boats do not operate on the third Wednesday of each month (except August) and for a 3-week period around May for maintenance. In 2013, it will be from May 7 to June 1.
