Tokyo-Wan Ferry (東京湾フェリー, Tōkyō-Wan Ferī, "Tokyo Bay Ferry") is a Japanese car ferry operator. Its line links Yokosuka, Kanagawa and Futtsu, Chiba, across Tokyo Bay in some 40 minutes. Headquartered in Yokosuka, the company started its service from 1957. The ferry started to accept PASMO smart cards from June 2008.
At the Port of Kanaya, connection tickets to Keihin Electric Express Railway (Keikyū) Lines can be purchased. The single tickets provide passengers to be able to use a ferry lane, a bus route and railway lines from Kanaya port to any station excluding Sengakuji Station on Keikyu Line without purchasing tickets many times.
There is 1 service per 30 to 50 minutes, depending on seasons.
