How to catch the Tokyo hop-on hop-off bus
The main hub for most hop-on hop-off buses is near Tokyo Station (Marunouchi side), but you can join the tour at any designated stop along the varied routes.
By Train
Head to Tokyo Station, a major transit hub served by Shinkansen, JR lines, and the subway. Exit towards the Marunouchi North or South Exit. You'll often find the Sky Bus or hop-on hop-off bus counters and stops within a short walking distance from the station building.
By Car
Driving in central Tokyo can be challenging due to traffic and expensive parking. If you do drive, look for public parking in the Marunouchi or Ginza areas, then walk to the nearest bus stop. However, using public transport to reach the starting point is generally recommended.
By Bus
Local Toei buses and community buses connect various parts of the city. If you're coming from a different district, take a bus or subway to Tokyo Station or another major stop like Tokyo Skytree or Roppongi Hills to catch the sightseeing bus.
On Foot
If you are staying in the Marunouchi, Ginza, or Nihonbashi areas, the main starting terminal near the Mitsubishi Building or Tokyo Station is likely just a pleasant walk away. Look for the distinct red or open-top buses.
