Osanbashi cruise terminal: getting there, embarking and disembarking

Keikyu Bus runs from Haneda to Yamashita Park and Shin-Kenchomae for ¥1,000, the stops nearest the Osanbashi pier road; on the weekday timetable it takes about 40 minutes from Terminal 3, with departures from 08:40 to 19:10, and not every bus takes that route. Or take the ¥800 bus to YCAT at Yokohama Station (about 30 minutes) and the Minatomirai Line to Nihon-odori, about 5 minutes on foot from the terminal. Keikyu trains take about 25 minutes from Terminal 3 to Yokohama Station.

The limousine bus to YCAT at Yokohama Station costs ¥4,000 and takes about 100 minutes; book from a month ahead. The last bus leaves Narita Terminal 1 at 21:55. The Narita Express to Yokohama Station is ¥4,480. From Yokohama Station, the Minatomirai Line reaches Nihon-odori in about 5 minutes (¥230), about 5 minutes on foot from Osanbashi.

Nihon-odori on the Minatomirai Line, about 5 minutes on foot from exits 3 or 4. City bus 26 and the Bayside Blue bus stop at Osanbashi-iriguchi, 3 minutes from the terminal.

The terminal publishes no arrival time: your cruise line sets it, and the check-in time is in your boarding documents. Asuka Cruise tells passengers on its domestic cruises that check-in usually runs from about two hours to about 90 minutes before departure. The 2F lobby opens at 9:00.

Only in the coin lockers: 55 doors by cruise deck exit 2 and in the 2F immigration lobby, open 9:00 to 21:30, ¥400 to ¥800 by size, all 35 cm wide and 67 cm deep. The terminal itself does not accept luggage on passengers’ behalf and has no permanent courier counter. Yamato’s Yamashita Park, Chinatown and Kannai counters hold bags for ¥800 a piece until 19:00 the same day.

Yes. The covered 24-hour car park has 400 spaces and a cruise rate of ¥1,000 per 24 hours for up to 31 days, for passengers sailing from Osanbashi only. Register at the 2F information desk or the 1F disaster-prevention centre on the day you board or return, with the parking ticket and the cruise ticket.

The Kanagawa Taxi Association’s pre-booked fixed fare between Haneda and Nishi ward or the Minato Mirai part of Naka ward is ¥8,800 plus tolls (¥10,300 from 22:00 to 05:00). Osanbashi is in Naka ward but outside Minato Mirai, so ask the company whether the fixed fare applies; otherwise the meter runs. Until 31 January 2027 the Terminal 3 rank for Kanagawa fixed-fare taxis is closed, so use the Terminal 1 or 2 rank.

19 calls are on the Yokohama schedule to 31 December 2026, 14 of them embarkation or disembarkation days: Asuka III on 8 Nov, Diamond Princess on 11 Nov, Norwegian Jade on 12 Nov, Asuka III on 13 Nov, Asuka III on 19 Nov and 14 more. Schedules change; your cruise documents name the terminal.
