How to get to Tokyo Immigration Office

There are several way to get yourself over to the Tokyo Immigration office, but because I have a general dis-like of buses in Tokyo, and am also financially allergic to taxis, I took the Rinkai line [りんかい] train down to Tennozu-isle [天王州アイル], then walked for about 15mins to the office.

So when you get to Tennozu-isle, take Exit A.


When you hit daylight after your second flight of escalators turn LEFT (following the sign to the monorail station)











Follow the next escalators, then at the top turn RIGHT towards the traffic junction (and the monorail station)

















Turn RIGHT at the junction to walk over the blue bridge, called Shinagawa-futou-bashi [品川埠頭橋]





It will generally look like a sea of shipping containers for most of the walk, but follow the road... just after crossing over the river, the road goes under a highway (HUGE concrete thing, you cant miss it), keep following the road as it curves round to the left...














... and eventually you'll see a big square SUNKUS sign over some vending machines, and the big grey monstrosity behind it is the Immigration Office.












TA DA!
