bxny Posted May 31, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 31, 2018 We will be embarking our Azamara cruise at the port in Tokyo. Should we fly into Narita or Haneda? How close is the port to these airports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkJedi Posted May 31, 2018 #2 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Which port in Tokyo? And Haneda is probably closer to both, but you will still be doing train rides, so consider cost more than location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMuzz Posted May 31, 2018 #3 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Tokyo's Harumi Cruise Terminal is just a short distance North of Haneda Airport. Yokohama's Osanbashi Cruise Terminal is just a short distance South of Haneda Airport. Larger ships cannot fit under the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo Bay, so cannot access the Harumi Terminal. Docking fees for the Harumi Terminal are also 400% higher than the Osanbashi fees, keeping many smaller ships away. Narita Airport has a much wider range of overseas flight options, and generally far better arrival and departure times. Narita Express train was designed to carry travellers and their bags easily and quickly to Tokyo Station (60 minutes), Shinjuku Station (75 minutes), and Yokohama Station (90 minutes). There are also many limousine buses available, slower, but cheaper. Haneda Airport is newly enlarged and updated. A very nice option that is nearly downtown. Overseas flights to North America often depart very late at night. The Tokyo Monorail runs from Haneda to Hamamatsucho / Daimon on the Tokyo waterfront in 15 minutes, with free WI-FI onboard. Hamamatsucho to Tokyo's Harumi Terminal is a short trip by taxi, train, subway. There are also subway trains and many transfer buses from Haneda Airport to the Yokohama area. Limousine bus from Haneda to Yokohama Station and Hotels takes around 30-40 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceMuzz Posted July 1, 2018 #6 Share Posted July 1, 2018 We are staying at Intercontinental Hotel in Yokohama, and need to get to Hurumi Cruise Port.What is the best way to get there, and approx cost? Thank you Your hotel is near downtown Yokohama. You want to go to Harumi Terminal, which is near downtown Tokyo. The only easy and direct route is a taxi, which will cost you about $150 - 200. Travel time about one hour. Next you should ask the hotel concierge about shuttle buses to Tokyo. They probably have some. A shuttle bus has room for suitcases, will be much less expensive, and will get you to Tokyo Station in about 90 minutes. From Tokyo Station, a taxi to Harumi Terminal costs around ¥1500 and takes 10 - 15 minutes. From Tokyo Station, you can ride the subway (no luggage storage) with a couple of transfers, to Harumi Terminal for ¥210 per person. Travel time is about 10 minutes. The Kachidoki subway station near Harumi Terminal has free shuttle buses between the station and the Cruise Terminal (5 minute trip) Narita Express - or many other JR trains - run from Yokohama station to Tokyo Station. Narita Express has luggage storage at the ends of each car. Other JR trains do not. Narita Express from Yokohama Station to Tokyo Station takes around 20 minutes and costs about ¥1300 per person. JR trains from Yokohama Station to Tokyo Station take 30 - 40 minutes and cost around ¥600 per person One more option, more complex, but less expensive. There are many inexpensive shuttles and trains going from Yokohama to Tokyo. Many of the trains pass through Hamamatsucho Station to get to Tokyo station. Hamamatsucho JR Station in Tokyo is the terminus for the Tokyo Monorail, a very good option to get to Haneda Airport. Next to the Hamamatsucho Station is the Daimon Subway Station. The Toei O-Edo subway line will take you directly from Daimon Station to Kachidoki Station in about 10 minutes for ¥210 per person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanida does have flights that depart for the U.S. during the day - our Delta flight leaves at 4:30pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
