Checked · Researched, not yet visited · times from official timetables and our estimates · Takumi Yamada
A canoe through the mangroves at Sumiyo, from the roadside station. The 60-minute course starts at 10:00, 11:30, 13:00, 14:30 and 16:00 (check in 20 minutes before): adult ¥3,000, child ¥2,000. The 90-minute course (09:30 or 15:30, ¥4,000 and ¥2,500) must be booked by the day before. Park entry is free. Tide and weather decide the route.
- 3 hr 30 min door to door needs a 5.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Mangrove Park by canoe and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 3 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 2 hr 10 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
Routes that already include it
Finished days timed from official timetables and our estimates, with this stop in them.
What to put beside it
Each of these still lands you back aboard with the hour to spare.
