Tokyo International Cruise Terminal: getting there, embarking and disembarking

Tokyo’s big-ship terminal at Odaiba. Getting there from both airports, then boarding and getting off.

The short answer

The Tokyo International Cruise Terminal is at Aomi on the Odaiba waterfront, Tokyo’s terminal for big ships. Its own Yurikamome station is about 10 minutes on foot, and Haneda is about 25 minutes by car.

Leaving the ship at Tokyo International Cruise Terminal

The morning, customs, where the bags go, and the ride to Haneda or Narita.

The morningArrivals on 2F, taxis on 1FThe arrivals flow is on 2F: arrival lobby, baggage hall, customs, immigration and quarantine, a courier counter and a nursing room. The 1F has the taxi stand. The 4F deck is a send-off deck, not a public one.

CustomsA paper form, not a gateOn a voyage that ends in Japan after a foreign port, Japan Customs requires every arriving passenger to declare their belongings. Its electronic declaration gates are at seven airports and no seaport, so expect the paper form your ship hands out.

Duty-free allowanceOther goods up to ¥200,000Per adult, on Japan Customs’ list: three bottles of alcohol (about 760 ml each), 200 cigarettes, 2 ounces of perfume, other goods up to ¥200,000.

Bags for the dayCourier counter on 2F, no lockersThe 2F courier counter sends bags on, but the operator publishes no hours or cut-offs; there are no lockers. Yamato’s Tokyo Station Marunouchi North Exit counter holds bags until 19:30 for ¥1,000 (large) or ¥700 (small).
