Video 1. Visiting Asakusa from Odaiba via Water Bus (YouTube link)
Asakusa-Odaiba Direct Line
Timetable and Fees
Most of the water buses are operated by the Tokyo Cruise Ship Company. The Asakusa-Odaiba Direct Line ⭐(50 minutes, 1560 yen, 2-4 boats per day) is one of the most popular routes because of its boldly designed Himiko boats with panoramic windows. The boats do not run on the second Tuesday and Wednesday of each month (except for August).
The Sumida River Line runs from Asakusa to Hama Rikyu garden (35 minutes, 980 yen, 1-2 boats per hour). The dock at Hama Rikyu is located within the garden's paid grounds, and admission to the garden is included in the price of the boat ticket. After Hamariku, the boats then travel a further five minutes to the Hinode Pier (40 minutes, 780 yen from Asakusa), where a transfer can be made to boats bound for Odaiba. Note that Hama Rikyu is not served by boats in direction of Asakusa.
The Odaiba Line travels from Hinode to Odaiba Seaside Park (20 minutes, 480 yen, about two boats per hour). The Tokyo Big Sight-Palette Town Line travels to both the Tokyo Big Sight and Palette town attractions (about 25 minutes, 410 yen, 5 boats per day), but it does not operate on Mondays and Tuesdays (except in the case of national holidays).
