Boarding at Daikoku Pier

When to come, what happens to the bags, and what to do with spare time.

When to arriveArrive at your slot, not earlyYour cruise line sets the time; the city publishes none. At Daikoku, arrive at your slot rather than early: there is nowhere to wait but the terminal and nothing to buy.
Your luggageAsk your lineWe found no published luggage or courier service at Daikoku. Ask your line where checked bags are handed over and whether it accepts bags sent ahead.
The night beforeStay near Yokohama StationYokohama Station is the practical base: YCAT’s airport buses, the 109 bus stop and the taxi ranks are all there.
Bags from the airport to the hotelHand in at Haneda by 11:00Yamato’s Haneda counters (Terminals 1, 2 and 3) take bags until 11:00 for delivery from 18:00 the same day to hotels in Yokohama’s Nishi, Naka, Tsurumi, Kanagawa, Hodogaya, Minami and Konan wards, at the standard rate plus a surcharge. Narita’s counters take them until 10:30 (Terminal 3: 09:50) for delivery anywhere in Kanagawa from 18:00 to 21:00.

Leaving the ship at Daikoku Pier

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

The morningTaxi, or the line’s shuttleThe terminal has customs, immigration and waiting space only. Take a taxi from the rank or the line’s shuttle if it runs; the 109 bus to Yokohama Station is about 10 minutes’ walk away and very crowded on ship days.
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 dayNothing at the pierNothing at the pier. Yamato’s counters are in town: Pacifico Logistics Center in Minato Mirai (¥700 until 18:00; until 10:00 for same-day delivery anywhere in Tokyo and Kanagawa by 21:00), and Yamashita Park, Chinatown and Kannai (¥800 until 19:00).
Airport TA-Q-BINTwo days before the flightYamato’s Airport TA-Q-BIN needs your bags two days before the flight (three from some areas), so it is no help for a flight on disembarkation day.
To Haneda¥800 bus from YCAT, about 30 minBus from YCAT at Yokohama Station, ¥800, about 30 minutes, paid on board by IC or contactless card, no reservation. Keikyu trains from Yokohama Station reach Terminal 3 in about 25 minutes (Terminals 1 and 2: 28).
Taxi to Haneda¥8,800 + tolls from Minato MiraiKanagawa’s pre-booked fixed taxi fare from Nishi ward and the Minato Mirai part of Naka ward to Haneda is ¥8,800 plus tolls (¥10,300 from 22:00 to 05:00).
To Narita¥4,000 bus from YCAT, about 100 minLimousine bus from YCAT, ¥4,000, about 100 minutes; book online from a month ahead, or take a seat still free five minutes before departure. Narita Express from Yokohama Station ¥4,480 (ordinary car, all seats reserved). The Kanagawa fixed taxi fare from Yokohama city to Narita is ¥37,500 plus tolls (¥44,500 from 22:00 to 05:00).
Before the flightBook once your time is setWe do not print an earliest flight. The line, not the arrival time, decides when your group gets off, so book the flight once you know your disembarkation time.
