Getting There By Water Despite being a major port, few passenger services operate out of Tokyo. The Tokyo Ferry Port is at Ariake, on Odaiba Island in Tokyo Bay. Facilities include a snack bar, souvenir shops and luggage lockers. Ferry services: There are no international ferry services from Tokyo, however, a number of long-distance ferries connect Tokyo to Hokkaido, Shikoku, Kyushu and Okinawa. There are services from Okinawa to Taiwan, from Osaka/Kobe to China, and from Fukuoka/Hakata and Shimonoseki to Korea. Arrival and departure information is available from the Ferry Service Centre (tel: (03) 3501 0889; website: www.tptc.or.jp/eng/ferry.htm). Transport to the city: The Yurikamome monorail runs from Ariake to Shimbashi Station on the JR Yamanote loop line. The journey takes 25 minutes. |
