Kokuto shochu, made from brown sugar, may be made only in the Amami Islands. AiAi Hiroba, the city’s tourist centre in Suehiro-cho, has a display of the brands, a tourist desk and left luggage. Open 9:00–20:00, free. Oshima tsumugi shops line the shopping streets nearby.
- Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr 30 min door to door.
- 1 hr 30 min door to door needs a 3.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Kokuto shochu and tsumugi in central Naze and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 1 hr 30 min 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 50 min 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.
