Most cruise ships in Tokyo dock at Harumi Terminal. Port Yokohama is approx 40 km (25 mi) from the city and is often used as an alternative port for Tokyo.

However, both events were postponed due to the COVID crisis. The new passenger terminal was officially inaugurated on September 10, welcoming on the same day its first cruise ship Nippon Maru (owned by Mitsui OSK Passenger Line).

(new) Tokyo International Cruise Terminal

The new terminal can handle even world's largest passenger liners of Royal Caribbean 's Oasis-class (GT 228000 tons, LOA length 362 m, max passengers 6370 plus 2400 crew). Shinkyaku Pier (officially "Tokyo International Cruise Terminal") has one berth with length 430 m (1411 ft), width 30 m (98 ft) and quay depth / max-draft 11,5 m (38 ft).

WHATSINPORT.COM: YOUR CRUISE GUIDE TO 1200 PORTS OF CALL

Interactive world cruise map, home | cruise ships | port expenses | hints and tips, tokyo japan cruise port guide.

Cruise liners tend to use the Harumi Terminal . From the observatory in the cruise terminal, you can get a whole view of Tokyo Port with some vessels under anchorage. In the twilight, the window lights of silhouetted buildings begin to shine like jewelry. The outline of illuminated Rainbow Bridge seems a necklace of the port.

The port likes to make a big deal of all ship calls as vessels are met by local fireboats, a musical performance on the dock, and a welcoming ceremony.

The nearest metro station is Kachidoki Station on Toei Oedo Subway Line, a 20 mins walk. Or you can take Toei bus 3 or 5 to Ginza station. The bus terminus, Harumi Futo, is outside the terminal.

Large cruise ships dock at Oi Marine Products Wharf. Shuttle buses will take you to Shinagawa JR train station.

A new terminal, the Shinkyaku Pier, was built in 2019 in Koto Ward, just south of the eastern end of the Rainbow Bridge. This is closer to central Tokyo than the Oi dock, but circumvents the bridge.

Yokohama , 40 km from Tokyo is also at times used as port for Tokyo.

There are two airports in Tokyo: Narita Airpor t and Haneda Airport Check their sites for ground transportation.

Sightseeing:

Tokyo is vast: it's best thought of not as a single city, but a constellation of cities that have grown together. Tokyo's districts vary wildly by character, from the electronic blare of Akihabara to the Imperial gardens and shrines of Chiyoda, from the hyperactive youth culture mecca of Shibuya to the pottery shops and temple markets of Asakusa. If you don't like what you see, hop on the train and head to the next one, and you will find something entirely different.

Don't get too hung up on ticking tourist sights off your list: for most visitors, the biggest part of the Tokyo experience is just wandering around at random and absorbing the vibe, poking your head into shops selling weird and wonderful things, sampling restaurants where you can't recognize a single thing on the menu (or on your plate), and finding unexpected oases of calm in the tranquil grounds of a neighborhood Shinto shrine. It's all perfectly safe, and the locals will go to sometimes extraordinary lengths to help you if you just ask.

Tokyo has a vast array of sights, but the first items on the agenda of most visitors are the temples of Asakusa, the gardens of the Imperial Palace (in Chiyoda) and the Meiji Shrine (in Harajuku).

Toyosu Market . Unlike the old Tsukiji fish market, the public cannot attend the auction among buyers. In Toyosu, the visitor can watch the market from a second floor viewing deck or, upon registration, from a room at the same level separated from the auction by a window. There is also a shrine called Uogashi Suijinja (shrine for a fish market on the shore) at a corner of the Toyosu buildings near the waterfront. The rooftop is accessible by elevator. There's a terrace with landscaping on the roof, and panoramic views of parts of Tokyo's skyline. Eating or drinking are not allowed there

Tours Excursions Transportation:

It's easier than ever for English speakers to navigate their way around Tokyo without speaking any Japanese. Signs at subway and train stations include the station names in romaji (Romanized characters). It can be helpful to know some tips for ordering in restaurants, shopping in stores, and asking for directions. Learning the katakana script is not difficult and most words written with it can be understood by English speakers so it can be useful even for people with no Japanese vocabulary. If you plan on asking for directions to Tokyo destinations, it especially helps to carry the name of the destination written in Japanese characters.

It pays to check your route beforehand. The Tokyo Transfer Guide by the Tokyo Metro and Toei subway companies, is an online service that allows you to plan subway and train travel from point A to point B, based on time, cost, and transfers.

Taxis are very pricey, but may be a value for groups of three or more.

When you board a taxi, note that the vehicle's left rear door is opened and closed remotely by the driver. You are not supposed to open or close it by yourself. Furthermore, you are not supposed to tip taxi drivers, as the service is included in the price.

If you do not speak Japanese, or your destination is not a well known place, it is recommended to give your driver the precise address of your destination on a piece of paper or, even better, point it out on a map, since the Japanese address system can be confusing even to local taxi drivers.

It pays to compare your cruise line tours here .

Nearby Places:

For the first time tourist looking for their image of the 'old Japan', go to the Imperial Palace and Asakusa district. If you want to get into the real Japanese life of today, it'll take weeks. Look for postcard image of Japan in Kyoto, or Kamakura, close to Toyko, where there's a big buddha. By the way the train and subway systems are extensive and excellent. You can get anywhere by using public transportation.

Shopping and Food

Tokyo has many commercial centers for shopping, eating and simply wandering around for experiencing the modern Japanese urban phenomenon. Each of these areas have unique characteristics, such as dazzling Shinjuku, youthful Shibuya and up-market Ginza. These areas are bustling throughout the day, but they really come into life in the evenings.

The currency in Japan is the yen. It comes in denominations of ¥10,000, ¥5,000 and ¥1,000 notes, as well as ¥500, ¥100, ¥50, ¥10, ¥5 and ¥1 coins.

ATMs in Japan are becoming more useful, and most can be used to withdraw funds from overseas accounts. Post offices also offer ATMs. Major credit cards are accepted at a majority of stores and restaurants in large urban areas, but if you plan on spending any time in rural areas, be sure to carry sufficient cash. Japan is still very much a cash society and some stores, hotels and restaurants-regardless of location-refuse credit cards.

Don't tip, as it's considered rude!

Currency Converter

Communication:

Cafes which offer free WiFi for customers are springing up all over the country. Costs vary, with some coffee shops offering free Wi-Fi services and others charging by the hour for cable-enabled PCs

Opening Hours and Holidays:

Shops and department stores in Japan are generally open daily, including national holidays (with the exception of New Year's), from 10:00 or 10:30am to 7:30 or 8:00pm. Some specialty shops are closed Sundays and national holidays. Department stores are sometimes closed one day a week on an irregular basis, but since closing days vary for each store, shoppers can always find stores that are open.

The Tokyo Port, located in the Tokyo metropolis - the center of Japan's politics, economy, and culture, accommodates at the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal the Harumi Terminal and the Oi Terminal. The waterfront area where cruise liners dock is a short distance from Tokyo, Shinagawa, and Ueno stations, which serve the Shinkansen (bullet train). This makes it convenient for traveling within Japan, as well as for going through Narita and Haneda airports, which are ideal for fly and cruise tours. In the greater Tokyo area, Hakone and Nikko are also possible destinations for one-day excursions. The Tokyo Port offers access to attractive tourist spots perfect for luxury and casual cruises alike.

Sumida River Cruise & Tokyo Bay Cruise: The Leisurely Way to See the Heart of Tokyo (Tours & Tickets)

Did you know that Tokyo actually is a city of water? The southeastern part of the Japanese capital faces Tokyo Bay, while the Sumida River has acted as Tokyo’s gateway to the sea since ancient times. This access to the ocean has always attracted both people and business, and even today, you’ll spot many a ship sailing on the rivers and Tokyo Bay. Among those ships are the so-called water buses, or ‘suijo bus’ in Japanese. These unique boat taxis have gained popularity, especially among visitors to the area. These water buses do not only take you from one place to the other, however; they offer amazing views of the city of Tokyo, and in some cases even unique gourmet experiences – let’s take a look at Tokyo’s trendy water buses!

Tokyo Cruise – The Standard of Tokyo’s Water Buses

Tokyo Cruise – The Standard of Tokyo’s Water Buses

When talking about Tokyo’s representative water buses, the name Tokyo Cruise immediately comes to mind. Their water buses populate the beautiful Sumida River , connecting Asakusa with the Hinode Pier at Hamamatsucho, Toyosu, and Odaiba Kaihin Park , among other locations. The sightseeing ship company that operates Tokyo Cruise was initially founded 100 years ago. Back then, it was called “Sumida River Steamship Company” and operated small passenger steamships called issenjoki , “one sen steamboats.” This is because one trip on such a boat cost the passenger one sen, which is about 100 yen in today’s economy. These cheap steamboats were incredibly popular with Tokyo’s common folk as a convenient and easy way to get around the busiest parts of the city.

tokyo cruise map

Today, Tokyo Cruise offers several different lines. The Sumida River Line connects Asakusa to Hinode Pier at the mouth of the river ; the Odaiba Line connects Hinode Pier to Odaiba Kaihin Park . The Tokyo Big Sight & Palette Town Line runs between Hinode Pier and two of Odaiba ’s popular spots: Tokyo Big Sight and Palette Town. The water buses of these lines can be boarded without prior reservation. As the boats depart very frequently, water buses are the perfect way to enjoy unique and relaxed Tokyo sightseeing between Asakusa and Odaiba . The Sumida River Line also offers an audio guide for 300 yen, available in English, Chinese, and Korean. Some of Tokyo’s most famous landmarks can be spotted on the way, such as Tokyo Skytree (R) or the Rainbow Bridge – get a fresh perspective on the Japanese capital, by boat!

tokyo cruise map

Among Tokyo Cruise’s water buses are two truly unique boats: the Himiko and the Hotaluna, designed by the mangaka Leiji Matsumoto, the creator of Space Battleship Yamato, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, and Galaxy Express 999. The sci-fi-esque Himiko and Hotaluna are the symbols of Tokyo’s water buses. Both the Hikiko and the Hotaluna boats operate their own lines – the Himiko line connects Asakusa to Odaiba Kaihin Park and Toyosu, while the Hotaluna Line runs between Asakusa and Odaiba Kaihin Park , with a halfway stop at Hinode Pier. On the Himiko boats, passengers can enjoy an inboard café that offers unique sweets and cocktails, as well as an audio guide for the characters of Leiji Matsumoto’s famous work, Galaxy Express 999 .

・Fare: 1,380 yen (adult; 690 yen for childen) from Asakusa to Odaiba Kaihin Park ・Duration: About 1 hour and 10 minutes from Asakusa to Odaiba Kaihin Park ・Holidays: Open daily (suspended during stormy weather) ・Access: Asakusa Boating Area: A short walk from Asakusa Station ・Website: Tokyo Cruise

Tokyo Mizube Line – Taking You to the Edge of Tokyo

Tokyo Mizube Line – Taking You to the Edge of Tokyo

Next to Tokyo Cruise’s water bus service, another line is trendy among both locals and tourists alike: the Tokyo Mizube Line. The best feature of this water bus line is its large number of boarding places. Eighteen different boarding places are along the Sumida River , reaching far upstream from Asakusa , to Azusawa, Itabashi , and right up to the prefectural border of Saitama. Parallel to the Sumida River flows the Arakawa River , and the boats of the Tokyo Mizube Line sail to the eastern end of Tokyo, up to the Kasai Rinkai Park of Edogawa. No reservation is required to hop on the sightseeing boats, and an accompanying audio guide is available in English on board.

tokyo cruise map

Tokyo Mizube Line has three main lines. The Asakusa Odaiba Cruise offers a leisurely trip between slightly above Asakusa and Odaiba , allowing you to get on and off at six different stops, such as Azumaba, Ryogoku , Etchujima, St. Luke’s Garden , and Hamarikyu Gardens . With the Asakusa Kasai Cruise, look forward to following the Sumida River upstream from Ryogoku to Asakusa . There, the water bus will turn downstream once more, taking you to Odaiba Seaside Park and further to the famous Kasai Rinkai Park in the east of Tokyo, where attractions such as an aquarium and a Ferris wheel can be enjoyed. The third line is the Odaiba Kasai Tour, running back and forth from the Kasai Rinkai Park and the Odaiba Seaside Park , covering a vast area on the way. Both the Asakusa Kasai Cruise and the Odaiba Kasai Tour sail along the Tokyo Gate Bridge, which was opened in 2012. The gigantic bridge of 8 kilometers spans Tokyo Bay and is a marvelous sight – one that can only be enjoyed up close with the Tokyo Mizube Line.

・Fare: 1,130 yen from Asakusa (Nitenmon) to Odaiba Seaside Park ・Duration: Between 45 and 75 minutes from Asakusa (Nitenmon) to Odaiba Seaside Park ・Holidays: Mondays (or the following day if Monday is a national holiday) ・Access: 5-minute walk from Asakusa Station to the Asakusa (Nitenmon) Boarding Place ・Website: Tokyo Mizube Cruising Line

Japan’s First “On Demand” Water Bus Taxi – in Tokyo!

Japan’s First “On Demand” Water Bus Taxi – in Tokyo!

Next to sightseeing water buses, a new service that was started in 2015 now offers Japan’s first “on-demand boats” – Tokyo Water Taxi. The water taxis operate like any other taxi, covering four areas in total – Shinagawa , Tsukiji , Nihonbashi, and Asakusa – on demand. Even from the outside, the water taxis are just like their classic car version. Shining in a bright yellow color, the boats are reminiscent of the characteristic yellow cabs of New York. This unique method of maritime transportation is attracting a lot of attention from both locals and tourists alike.

tokyo cruise map

Tokyo Water Taxi offers the following three courses of interest to visitors. The first one is the Basic Ride - Direct Plan , which can be used for up to seven days (weekdays only) and lets you hop on and off at 19 different places, such as Tennozu Pier or Toyosu. When you want to take a water taxi, call your boat via phone or web like you’d call a regular taxi – the phone service is available in English, Chinese, and Korean. The Basic Ride - Custom Plan needs to be booked via the internet and can be used for more than seven days, without breaks on the weekend. It encompasses 27 places to get on and off the boats in total, and if you see a spot that strikes your fancy during your trip, just point to it and you can hop off and explore! Detours are perfectly fine, and fully customized cruise tours can also be enjoyed. Finally, the Basic Ride - Recommended Plan , with water taxis running between Tamachi and Tennozu Pier on Wednesday and Friday nights every week. While a reservation is required via phone (in Japanese only), if a boat isn’t full, you can hop on just as it is, for a mere 500 yen per trip. This is highly recommended for everyone who wants to try Tokyo’s unique water taxi without booking a full course!

・Fare: Depends on boarding/destination locations, but around 5,000 yen for 15 minutes via the Direct Plan; 5,000 yen for 15 minutes as the standard fee for each trip via the Custom Plan. (Fare for one boat.

A Tokyo river or harbor cruise can be the highlight of a visit to the Japanese capital city, and is offered by several companies with some imaginative vessels.

A river or harbor boat cruise through Tokyo provides a uniquely enjoyable way to experience and get around the metropolis. Tokyo is a city on the sea, with rivers running through it, and a pleasure cruise - day or night - makes the most of the Japanese capital's waterways. A cruise on the waters in and around Tokyo is enjoyable and relaxing in itself, and can provide unobstructed views of the Tokyo cityscape and its landmarks.

One of Tokyo Cruise Line's futuristic cruise boats on the Sumida River, Tokyo.

Tokyo Cruise is the main provider of cruises in Tokyo, mainly on the Sumida River in eastern Tokyo. It has a fleet of 13 boats, some with a capacity of up to 300 people.

The most famous three are the Himiko , designed by the animated movie and manga comic artist, Leiji Matsumoto (b.1938) and inspired by a tear drop, and the equally futuristic Hotaluna and Emeraldas . There are the early American paddle-steamer-style Ryoma and Dokan , and the Edo-era battleship the Gozabune Atakemaru for "Samurai Cruises" that feature on-board entertainment.

Cruise boats on the Sumida River, Tokyo.

The Urban Launch , which seats 41 is a 600 yen shuttle service between Shibaura, Odaiba , and Toyosu , and which accepts bicycles and pets.

The Limousine Boat , seating 11, is a 14.5 meter long launch that is charterable for a base fee of 20,000 yen.

The main cruises are between Asakusa , on the west bank of the Sumida River, and Hamarikyu Garden , near where the Sumida River meets Tokyo Bay.

Other stops include Hinode Pier, Odaiba Seaside Park and Toyosu (see map).

Tokyo Cruise Fares

Fares for Tokyo Cruise Line cruises change somewhat according to which boat you take, but the typical fares are as follows.

Between Hamarikyu and Asakusa cost about 1,000 yen for adults, about 400 yen for children, and takes about 35 minutes. The fare from Asakusa to Hamarikyu includes the price of admission to Hamarikyu Garden .

Between Odaiba Seaside Park and Asakusa costs about 1,200 yen for adults, about 600 yen for children, and takes about 70 minutes.

Bookings can be made online through the Tokyo Cruise website. The Asakusa-Odaiba route on the Himiko and Hotaluna gets booked out, so prior bookings for this route are advisable.

All vessels are wheelchair accessible. Passengers may bring one item of luggage each of a height, width and depth that measures no more than 2 meters in total.

Two Tokyo Cruise Line cruise boats pass each other on the Sumida River, Tokyo.

The Tokyo Mizube Line is a sightseeing ferry service operated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, the official body which administers Tokyo's metropolitan parks. It operates "Waterbus Cruises" from its pier in Azumabashi, in front of the Sumida Ward Office, and about ten minutes walk from the Tokyo Skytree .

The Tokyo Mizube Line offers three main routes: between Asakusa and Odaiba , between Asakusa and Kasai, and between Kasai and Odaiba.

The Tokyo Mizube Line has four boats: the Sakura and Ajisai , both accommodating 140 passengers (with 54 of the seats being inside), the Cosmos , carrying 200 passengers (with 130 of the seats inside), and the Kawasemi , for 65 people (39 seats inside).

As the term "waterbus" suggests, this service is great for getting from place to place, as well as for entertaining you with the sights of Tokyo from the water.

There are more stops on the Tokyo Mizube Line than the other Tokyo pleasure cruise services. For example, the Asakusa to Odaiba ferry departs from Azumabashi (Sumida Kuyakusho-mae Pier) and goes a little up the Sumida River to Asakusa (Sensoji Nitenmon-mae Pier), then goes back south down the river, calling in at Etchujima, Seiroka Garden-mae, Hamarikyu Garden , then Odaiba Seaside Park, before making the return journey. But there are only two such regular cruises a day, departing Ryogoku at 11:15am and 2:55pm, and arriving at Odaiba at 12:35pm and 4:15pm.

There are occasional express services and other special cruises available on certain dates and at certain times. Check with the Tokyo Mizube Line for more information on these. Fares are reasonable, starting at 310 yen.

Meals can be reserved in advance on Tokyo Mizube Line cruises. Depending on the route and time, there is either lunch or dinner available. Prices start at about 5,000 yen per adult for a Japanese-style course meal. Reservations can be made between a month and five days before your cruise.

Jicoo the Floating Bar

Jicoo is a "floating bar," a party boat. This cutting-edge 30-meter vessel with a capacity of about 150 people operates in Tokyo Bay on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Jicoo departs from Hinode pier at 8pm, 9pm and 10pm, arrives in Odaiba Seaside Park 30 minutes later, and gets back to Hinode pier on the hour.

With the purchase of the "Floating Pass" for 2,600 yen, you can stay on board the Jicoo for all three crossings if you like. However, if you get off, you have to pay again to reboard.

There are plenty of reasons to stay onboard the Jicoo and have a good time. The bar is open the whole time, serving great cocktails, and the selection of DJs, dancers and live musicians changes by the day. You must be at least 20 years of age to board Jicoo.

Vingt et Un Tokyo Bay Cruise

Vingt et Un is a 65-meter "restaurant ship" accommodating up to 700 passengers. It offers three meal-time cruises: lunchtime (noon-2pm, from about 5,500 yen), twilight (4:20-6:20pm, from about 5,500 yen) and nighttime (7:20-9:20pm, from about 6,500 yen). There is a choice of different priced meal courses. Boarding starts 30 minutes before the above departure times.

The Vingt et Un boat goes from Takebashi Pier down as far as where Haneda Airport is, where it does a loop and goes back.

Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruise

Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruise operates the svelte 83-meter Moderna , accommodating up to 600 people, and the 70-meter Classica taking up to 450 people.

Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruise offers four cruises a day: the Lunch Cruise (11:50am - 2pm), a shorter Afternoon Cruise (3:00-3:50pm), Sunset Cruise (4:20-6:20pm), and Dinner Cruise (7:00-9:30pm).

It is, however, possible to ride without ordering a meal, in which case it costs only 3,000 yen as opposed to about 4,000 to 12,000 yen, or, in the case of the Dinner Cruise, 3,800 yen as opposed to about 6,000 to 20,000 yen.

The Moderna vessel includes a luxury private "Aria" room for up to four people, or "Heroica" room for up to 14 people, that can be reserved, both with suitably luxurious meal menus available.

Except for the Afternoon Cruise, which goes only as far down as where Odaiba is (but without landing), these Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruises go on a big loop of Tokyo Bay, under the Rainbow Bridge on the way down, and under the Tokyo Gate Bridge on the way back. Besides the bridges, highlights include a view of (not a visit to) Tokyo Disneyland and of the Tokyo Skytree .

The Cruise Club Tokyo

The Cruise Club Tokyo offers one of Tokyo's most luxurious on-the-water experiences - which, nevertheless, won't break the bank. The company's beautiful, 120-guest capacity Lady Crystal vessel departs and returns to the modern, spacious Club House on Tennozu Isle in Shinagawa ward.

Daily Cruises

The two daily cruises are the Dinner Cruise (7-9pm) and the Night Cruise (9.30-10.30pm). The Dinner Cruise provides a full-course French meal as you cruise Tokyo Bay, down to the waters off Haneda Airport and back. Courses available range from 12,900 yen to 20,600 yen per person, with a private dining room available for an extra 30,900 yen per party. The Night Cruise provides a drink to sip on as you cruise around the beautifully lit-up Odaiba area. This course costs 4,000 yen for guests 12 years old and over, and 2,600 yen for 6 to 11 year olds. Children under 6 years old are not permitted on this cruise.

Weekend/Public Holiday Cruises

The other Tokyo Cruise Club cruises run on weekends and public holidays only: the Lunch Cruise (12 noon - 1.40pm) and the Afternoon Cruise (2.15-3pm). The Lunch Cruise offers two kinds of full-course French meal for 7,200 yen and 9,300 yen (drinks not included), and takes diners all the way out to Tokyo Gate Bridge and back. The Afternoon Cruise is just a cruise, 1,900 yen for adults, 1,000 yen for children, with drinks available, but you have to pay extra for them.

The Clubhouse

Tokyo Cruise Club also offers meals at the Club House (i.e., on land, not on a boat). The Clubhouse Dinner is available every evening from 6.30 to 9pm, with four course selections ranging from 2,500 yen to 12,500 yen per diner. Dinner at the Clubhouse entitles you to a special rate of 3,500 yen for the Night Cruise. The Clubhouse Lunch is offered on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays only, from 12 noon to 2pm, and has two choices: a 2,600 yen and 3,600 yen course. Lunch at the Clubhouse entitles you to a special rate of 1,600 yen for the Afternoon Cruise.

Check-in time for Tokyo Cruise Club cruises is 1 hour to 30 minutes before, at the Clubhouse front desk. (See map below for location.)

Summertime-only Tokyo Nouryousen

The Nouryousen (NOH-ryoh-sen, "Cool of the Evening Cruise") is a summertime-only cruise offered by Tokyo Kisen , the company that provides ferry services to the islands south of Tokyo and that comprise part of Tokyo Metropolis. This "Tokyo Bay Summer Night Cruise Ship" costs about 3,000 yen.

The Nouryousen operates until late September, the exact final date changing by the year.

The Nouryousen's six decks offer something for everyone, including food and entertainment.

The Nouryousen departs at 7:15pm from Takeshiba Pier (where Tokyo Kisen ferries to Hachijo Island also depart from, and near Kyu Shiba Rikyu Garden ) and goes south under the Rainbow Bridge, down to as far as where Haneda Airport is (but without landing). It then does a loop in the harbor (taking in the Tokyo Disney Resort fireworks at about 8:30pm), then goes back up the same way.

Nouryousen tickets are by reservation only. Send an email to harajukutic@his-world .com with "Nouryousen2" as the subject, and, in the body, the date you want, and the names, gender, age and nationality of the participants. Or, get the Japan Concierge Service to do it for you.

A yakatabune ("ya-ka-ta-BOO-nay") is a traditional (usually roofed) pleasure boat for eating and drinking parties on the water.

Most yakatabune ply the Sumida River , with many of them based in the Yanagibashi district of Taito ward, near Asakusabashi Station , along the Kanda River where it joins the Sumida River .

However, one of the most English-speaker-friendly yakatabune cruise companies is Edomae Kisen , which operates two yakatabune from near Shin-Kiba station (near Yumenoshima Park ) in eastern Tokyo. A shuttle bus from the station takes guests on the five-minute ride to the nearby Edomaekisen Pier.

There are two Edomae Kisen yakatabune cruise courses to choose from: Cruises on the two-hour Odaiba Course start just after midday and finish about 10pm. The two-and-a-half-hour Sumida River Course happens once a day only, starting at midday.

Both types of cruise are from Shin-Kiba Station, where you take a shuttle bus from outside the station to the pier, almost 2 km away.

These cruises are all-you-can-eat and drink, starting from 5,000 yen for daytime cruises, and from 5,500 yen for evening cruises.

Edomae Kisen Yakatabune operates 365 days a year.

Audience participation on the Traditional Yakatabune Dinner Cruise Shinagawa, Tokyo Bay.

Offering a nighttime yakatabune experience on Tokyo Bay is the Traditional Yakatabune Dinner Cruise Shinagawa . This cruise is evening-time only, and departs from Tennozu Isle on an approximately two-and-a-half hour dinner cruise of Tokyo Bay. This traditional dinner cruise is for groups of two or more, and features a long, delicious meal served as-you-like-it, and as many drinks from the bar as you like, over the course of the evening.

This cruise offers the delights of lit-up Tokyo Bay: its bridges, skyscrapers, monuments, and more, with good food, great company, and even some fun onboard entertainment.

Japan Cruises

Steeped in tradition and the harmony of ancient sites and natural wonders.

Take in all the sights of Tokyo on a cruise to Japan. As the country’s capital city, Tokyo is Japan’s leading center of business and finance yet also boasts deep roots in history. In the heart of the city, a dense forest glade shrouds visitors from the bustle and houses the Meiji Shrine, its setting symbolizing the separation of the spiritual from the worldly. Nearby, surrounded by stone walls, park area and moats, stands the Imperial Palace. With the Tokyo Tower and Mt. Fuji in view, experience the harmony of modern and ancient on a cruisetour of Japan.

Highlights of Japan Cruisetours

Embark on a magical voyage that leads you along the shores of Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido. Visit Nara’s impressive Todaiji Temple and the breathtaking Kasuga Taisha Shrine. Gaze out over the city from Tokyo’s Skytree Tembo Deck perched 1,148 feet. Experience the breathtaking beauty of Kyoto with stops at Kinkakuji Temple (Golden Pavilion) and Nijo Castle.

Discover the beauty of Japan

Japan is a study in contrasts: tranquil retreats of profound beauty lay just outside cities where skyscrapers soar over stunning temples and shrines. Neon-bright architecture and tranquil gardens vie for attention amid the colorful Harajuku district and traditional kimonos. As the No. 1 North American cruise line in Japan with the “Best Asia Itineraries † ,” you can be assured that Princess® will be your guide to the colors, cultures and flavors that define this exciting country.

Shore excursions

Experience Japanese culture with an adventure in Tokyo that celebrates tea, the art of calligraphy, and the essence of the Japanese spirit.

In Kochi, don a helmet and headlamp and explore the cavernous natural wonder known as the Ryugado Cave, a National Natural Monument. Stroll through a 17th-century garden and survey 700 years of history at a museum devoted to Satsuma’s Shimazu clan in Kagoshima.

Tokyo Bay Cruises

Discover Tokyo Bay in style from these ships

Ignatius Koh

Tokyo Bay is a winding stretch of water that offers extraordinary views of the city's skyline — not just on land. Near Shiba Celestine Hotel , there are cruises around the bay that let you appreciate Tokyo's beauty while gliding on the waters.

1. Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruise

Symphony Tokyo Bay Cruise lets you experience the high life for a couple of hours. With lunch, afternoon, sunset and dinner cruises available, all you need to do is sit on the top deck and enjoy a drink while feasting on local and international cuisine. The Classica yacht brings you to the most popular sights across Tokyo Bay, including the Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Tower, Tokyo Skytree, and Odaiba before concluding at the Hinode Passenger Terminal.

Cruise and restaurant packages start from ¥1,500 for the shorter afternoon cruise to lavish dinner packages up to ¥20,000. If you decide to splurge it all, the entire yacht is available for booking, and you can have a peaceful afternoon to yourself or your friends.

2. Sumida River Cruise Ship

This cruise ship service might be notable for its futuristic Himiko ship that runs from Asakusa to Odaiba, but the cruise destinations are not too shabby either. Y ou can travel between 12 locations in the Tokyo Bay area, including Hamarikyu Pier for Hamarikyu Garden , Odaiba , and Kasai Rinkai Park — all picturesque locations.

Making the cruise more attractive are its distance-based fares that range from ¥ 200 for a 5-minute trip (for example, from Hinode to Harumi Pier) to ¥ 2,000 (for the 70-minute ride from Asakusa to Toyosu).

3. Gozabune Atakemaru Cruise

Gozabune Atakemaru, also known as the Samurai Ship, takes cruising to the next level, by bringing a brand new experience to Tokyo's waterways. Offering a bay cruise, traditional kabuki-inspired show and Japanese dinner course, the Gozabune combines tradition with modern style. The luxury vessel, an Edo period replica liner like that owned by feudal lords such as shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu, sets itself apart on the waters with its majestic design.

Guests are naturally encouraged to move freely around the boat's deck too during the cruise, with the route providing good views of landmarks such as Rainbow Bridge, Tokyo Gate Bridge and even Tokyo Tower along the way.

The cruise caters to several dining plans, with the whole ship even available to charter for larger groups of up to 500 guests. You can pick from a 40-minute day cruise that departs from Hinode Pier at 14:50, a 75-minute evening cruise departing at 17:30 that includes a show and one drink, or a 120-minute night cruise departing at 19:15 that includes a show and all-you-can-eat food and drink.
