The cruise ship port for Tokyo is actually in neighboring Yokohama. The Accessible Japan website lists the InterContinental Yokohama Pier 8 (https://www.ihg.com/intercontinental/hotels/us/en/yokohama/tyoyh/hoteldetail?cm_mmc=GoogleMaps-_-IC-_-JP-_-TYOYH) as the nearest hotel with an accessible room (unfortunately it seems to have only one such room) to the Osanbashi cruise ship pier. In fact you could walk from one to the other.. The easiest way from Narita airport to Yokohama is by JR East’s Narita Express train bound for Ofuna with an approximate journey time of 85 minutes and hourly frequency. It is just a few minutes taxi ride from Yokohama JR station to the hotel. If you have time in the morning before you join your ship I suggest a visit to the numerous shops, department stores and restaurants -all readily accessible – in the city’s Minatomurai district, easy to find as it beneath Yokohama’s’ tallest building, the Landmark Tower.
