How it lands

IC The Strings is thirteenth, level on 25 with the Holiday Inn and the Prince and behind the first on distance. It occupies floors 26 to 32 of Shinagawa East One Tower, with three restaurants, about 5.5 road miles (8.9 km) from Harumi by our routing.

IHG lists 201 rooms and names Shinagawa and Sengakuji stations. We found no single published line from either to a terminal station, so there are no rail points.

Covered parking has 11 spaces with in and out privileges, and IHG prints no rate here. Late check-out is available. IHG allows guide dogs and service animals only.

Book it for Shinagawa Station and three restaurants on the last night, not for the ship, and plan a taxi to Harumi, about ¥3,900 (about US$25) on the meter by our arithmetic.

Book it if

  • You want Shinagawa Station and three restaurants, not a rail link to the ship
  • Late check-out matters
  • Harumi is your terminal

Look elsewhere if

  • You're bringing a pet.
  • You want a pool.
  • You want parking for more than a few cars.

Which terminal

Terminal varies

Harumi, the nearest terminal we measured, is about 5.5 road miles from the hotel, roughly 13 minutes with no traffic — by our routing. It takes ships up to about 60,000 GT on a single berth, and we found no line that sails from it or any nearest station in the port's pages. TICT, the other terminal we measured, is about 6.0 road miles and 13 minutes away; your cruise documents name yours, and the Tokyo cruise guide has the rest.

Our arithmetic

About ¥3,900 by our arithmetic — the Tokyo taxi association's tariff over our 8.9 km route. It's an estimate, not a quote, and tolls and the night surcharge come on top.

Bags

Ask first

IHG lists storage space for luggage. At TICT, 6.0 road miles from the hotel, the layout lists baggage reception on the first floor, while Holland America says it has no storage service at the pier.

Unknowns

Breakfast terms and room sizes

Worth knowing

  • Check-in 15:00, check-out 12:00; late check-out available.

  • Luggage storage space is available.
  • IC The Strings prints no tax figure, and Tokyo's accommodation tax as SoraNews24, Japan Travel and nippon.com report it is ¥100 (about US$1) a night per person in the ¥10,000 to ¥14,999 (about US$65–95) band and ¥200 (about US$1) from ¥15,000 (about US$95), so check your booking, since we didn't read the Metropolitan Government's own page.
