Checked · Researched, not yet visited · times from official timetables and our estimates · Takumi Yamada
Misaki horses, a native breed, graze freely on the grassy headland of Cape Toi above the Pacific. It is the long drive of this port and only works by taxi or a ship’s tour on a call of seven hours or more. Entry and parking charges on the cape are not confirmed in our sources; ask the driver.
- 5 hr door to door needs a 7-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Where the 5 hr goes
The hour before all-aboard is not in this bar; it is already set aside. The minutes are our estimates from timetables and maps, not timed on the ground.
If your ship is late, cut the 3 hr in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
