- During winter, the boat for the 9:00 service may be a medium-sized pleasure boat (capacity of around 70 passengers).
- The 16:00 service is not available in winter due to the sun setting early during this season.
- We plan to increase the number of services available during the busy Golden Week spring holidays and Obon summer holiday period. (Please ask at the ticket window for details.)
- During busy periods, if you line up for the boat just before the cruise departure time, the boat may have standing room only.
- Passengers will be boarded in the order they are lined up on the pier, so please line up early if you wish to secure a window seat!
