Why go

The white beaches and the cape of the island’s north-east coast. The longest taxi ride on the city’s table, so it fits a long call; agree a day fare and the return time with the driver before you set off.

Before you count on it
  • 5 hr door to door needs a 7-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Where it is

Tomori Beach and Ayamaru Cape and your ship

Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.

The arithmetic

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 2 hr 50 min in the middle. Never cut the hour at the end.
