Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! Tokyo ferry terminal directions. 2009/7/29 Tokyo 23-ku On arrival at Tokyo we will need to travel to the ferry terminal for the Tokyu Ocean ferry to Tokushima. Address is given as 4-15 Ariake, Chuo City.Is this near Odaiba? What are the alternatives to get there from Asakusa please? How long should we allow - check in is 1800. by Connie Chiwa (guest)   ... 2009/7/29 Yes, it is close to Odaiba: http://www.otf.jp/tokyo/ by Uji rate this post as useful . 2009/7/29 Okay,good,close to Obaida,mmmm. Anyone know how to actually get to the ferry terminal from Asakusa? Seem to be some rail stations nearby and maybe a boat landing for a Sumida ferry...... by Connie Chiwa (guest) rate this post as useful Trains 2009/7/29 From Asakusa Tobu Station take the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line or Toei Asakusa Line to Shimbashi Station. From there take the Yurikamome Line to Ariake-Tennis-no-Mori (aka, Ariake) Station. Fare is 560 to 580 yen total and takes about 52 minutes on the Ginza Line and 47 minutes on the Asakusa Line. Exit west side of Ariake Station and head southwest and in a short distance there is a traffic circle of sorts with many buses. According to the website Uji provided above, there is a shuttle to the ferry port with a cost of 200 yen per person. I would take either the 16:26 Ginza train or the 16:31 Asakusa train. This will get you to Ariake Station by 17:18. There is a shuttle departing at 17:30 and 17:50 to the port (according to the webpage). The earliest shuttle departure is 17:10. Travel time to the port is about 10 minutes. by Paul (guest) rate this post as useful Ferry 2009/7/29 The ferry option can be researched at this website: http://www.suijobus.co.jp/price/index.html It looks as though you would take the ferry to Hinode Pier and then transfer to the ferry to Tokyo Big Sight. Asakusa to Hinode Pier takes about 40 minutes and costs 760 yen. Hinode Pier to Tokyo Big Site takes about 35 minutes and costs 400 yen. You will still need to take a taxi or bus as it is a two kilometer walk to the ferry terminal/port. by Paul (guest) rate this post as useful . 2009/7/30 Thanks so much Paul - that's great! by Connie (guest) rate this post as useful . 2009/7/31 Is there also a way to get to Ariake Station from Asakusa that includes going over the Rainbow bridge? That looks exciting! by Connie Chiwa (guest) rate this post as useful ... 2009/7/31 Yes! Take the Asakusa or Ginza Subway Line from Asakusa to Shimbashi and transfer to the Yurikamome, which goes over the Rainbow Bridge: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3008.html by Uji rate this post as useful
