Group bus pickup at Yokohama cruise terminals

Which pier?

Osanbashi is close to Yamashita Park and Minato Mirai. Daikoku Pier is on an industrial island used by many larger ships, with limited public transport, which makes coaches especially useful. Shinko Pier is in the Minato Mirai area. The pier depends on the ship and the date, so send us the ship's name and the call date with your request.

Each terminal has its own arrangements for coaches, and on busy days several ships may be in port. We confirm the vehicle area for your call and include it in the pickup instructions.

Disembarkation timing

Leaving a large ship takes time: passengers disembark in groups, collect their luggage and pass through formalities. Instead of one fixed time, we agree a pickup window with the group leader and keep the vehicle time realistic. For embarkation days, plan to arrive within the check-in time given by the cruise line.

Luggage

• Cruise passengers often carry more and larger suitcases than other travellers; count them per person.
• A coach's underfloor hold is usually the best choice; a minibus may not carry a full group's luggage.
• For very large groups, a separate luggage vehicle can be quoted.

After the ship: airport, Tokyo or sightseeing

Haneda is about 25–40 minutes from the Yokohama piers in normal traffic, while Narita is much further at roughly 90–130 minutes. Groups with a late flight often add a short Yokohama or Tokyo tour on the way, with the luggage staying locked in the coach.
