Good to know P
- Children pay half the adult fare, rounded up to the next 10 yen.
- The operator's site refuses automated access; these facts come from an Internet Archive copy of April 2026. The prefecture advises checking times with Taisei Kisen (0869-72-0506).
- Taisei Kisen also runs a separate vehicle ferry and water taxis, on demand only, 8:00–18:30, booking required.
English names are the operator's own where it publishes them, otherwise romanised for this guide. Boats are often cancelled or changed in bad weather: check the operator's page on the day. Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL).
