Cheapest transport Tokyo to Vladivostok

Can anyone help me find a company,(Ferry or Airline) to take us from Tokyo to Vladivostok. We are shipping our bikes from Sydney to Vlad next year and the Airlines charge like wounded bulls to fly from Sydney to Vlad. A flight to Tokyo is very cheap. All we need is to find out how to get from tokyo to Vladivostok cheaply.
Thanks.

Do you mean you do not want to temporary import your bikes and ride in Japan? You just want to transfer to another means of transport in Tokyo?
I don't know if it would be any cheaper, but it will save you a lot of time and hassle if you just get a Carnet and ride to Fushiki port in Toyama Prefecture.
There is a (usually) weekly ferry to Vlad from Fushiki port.

If you don't want to deal with a carnet, go to Korea. Search the HUBB and you will shipping info on this site and you will probably find all the info you need.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
