Two days in Tokyo. Advice please!
Hi, I am an elderly, but mobile person who will be returning to Tokyo
for two full days in September and would appreciate comments and advice on my proposed sightseeing. My hotel is in the Shinjuku district. Tuesday: Marunouchi line to Otemachi and a visit to the Imperial Palace gardens. Then from Otemachi by Hanzumon line to Kiyosumi-Shirakawa and change to Toei-Odeo line to Ryokoku and after a visit to the Odeo museum, return to Shinjuku on the same line. Wednesday: From Shinjuku, Toeei-Odeo line to Shiodome and change to Yurikamome line to Fune-No-Kagakuka and visits to the Museum of Maritime Sciences and the National Museum of Emerging Science. Now here is where I am unsure! Can I go from the museum district on Odaiba by boat to Asakusa? If so would like to do this and then return to Shinjuku on the Ginza & Marunouchi lines. Any comments, suggestions or advice will be appreciated. As you cansee, I like museums! Thanks Spencer |

Can I go from the museum district on Odaiba by boat to Asakusa? Not sure if there is a boat, but the simple way would be to take the monorail until Shibashi and from there continue by underground to Asakusa. -- Alfred Molon http://www.molon.de - Photos of Asia, Africa and Europe |

When you said return to Tokyo I take it you've been before and possibly this link is unnecessary. Good luck, s "Spencer" wrote in message ...

You can e-mail me at the old address, if so - would love to talk more about your upcoming Tokyo trip. I was last there myself in October. As you've heard already, there IS a "water bus" (actually, a couple of them) from Odaiba back to "mainland Tokyo", but I can't tell you much more than that as I've never taken them. The Rinkai and Yuriakamome lines were always more convenient for me, esp. since the times I've been out to Odaiba, I was actually staying there in order to attend conferences at the Tokyo Big Sight convention center. (The Grand Pacific is a pretty nice hotel.) There's a pass avaiable which covers the Rinkai and Yurikamome lines AND the water bus; see: http://yurikamome.co.jp/english/index.php Have a great trip; hope to hear about it when you get back.

you seemed to have covered the whole schedule pretty well already. For your question about Odaiba, there are actually several ferries that will take you there from Asakusa, so you can try catching them.
