Every Asuka II call at Tokyo

2 calls ahead, Jan 2027: the pattern, and the plan for each kind of day

Asuka II keeps one clock at Tokyo: 6 Jan and 9 Jan both run 08:30 to 16:30 at the Tokyo International Cruise Terminal in Odaiba, 6 usable hours with the Yurikamome about 10 minutes from the gangway. Plan one day and repeat it.

Usable hours follow the one rule: off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, all-aboard 30 minutes before departure, back at the gangway an hour before that. Overnight calls count the longest daylight stretch. Dates and times from Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Port and Harbor — Cruise Call Calendar (as of 2026-09-30); the daily programme has the final word.

The half day · 2 calls

Wed 6 Jan, Sat 9 Jan

08:30–16:30 · about 6 usable hours · gangway by 15:00

Off the ship 09:00, back by 15:00, 6 usable hours. The Asakusa classic (about 5.5 hours) fits if the first Yurikamome is yours; The terminal island (about 2.5 hours) stays in Odaiba. Chill Out in Tokyo, a private tour with a local (from US$104 per person), needs 6 hours and fits 2 of 2 calls, so it takes the whole call; you agree the meeting point with the operator after booking.

The mistake to avoid: The first-timer's Tokyo (about 8.5 hours): it is longer than the 6 usable hours on either call, and a free shuttle to Tokyo Teleport runs on many calls but not all, so do not build the day on it.

“Leave by” is the gangway time minus the taxi time quoted above and 15 minutes to find a taxi; on big-ship days ranks run out, so leave earlier rather than later.
