bazzaw Posted January 17, 2020 #1 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Will be staying at Intercontinental Hotel near Osanbachi Pier ( thinking that was where our cruiseship would be departing from) - but it now appears that it will depart from Daikoku Wharf which is basically a commercial port wharf!! How do we get to the pier inside the commercial wharf?? Taxi?? Thanks for any advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BruceMuzz Posted January 17, 2020 #2 Share Posted January 17, 2020 There are basically 2 options; taxi or city bus. You might check if your cruise line has arranged shuttles - but it is unlikely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobhsv Posted January 17, 2020 #4 Share Posted January 17, 2020 We were docked at Daikoku in August, (Majestic Princess). Personal opinion is to opt for a taxi between hotel and pier. You would need a taxi anyway to get to the shuttle bus on the mainland side (spasmodic shuttle departure times, although this could have been improved by now). Daikoku terminal is well set up, with a large warehouse type of entry, and covered walkway onto ship. There were two ships at this pier on our day, resulting in long orderly lines for buses. It was wet in the morning, and although a covered tarp walkway had been erected outside the terminal, it was quite short in length. Suggest you take ponchos incase it is raining. Another suggestion is to have the pier address printed out for the taxi driver. Google translate does this easily. Here is the translation for Daikoku pier cruise terminal in Japanese. I was unsure of your berth number/ship, which you could add. 大国w頭クルーズターミナル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
