Room to spare
Fits an 8.5-hour stop with nothing to add (off the ship 30 minutes after arrival, back at the gangway an hour before all-aboard). A longer call gives you the extra time; on this one, do not add a stop.
What it costs
Agree a day fare first. The city table gives one-way fares only: ¥7,000 berth → Amami Park and ¥5,000 tsumugi village → berth, so expect more than ¥12,000 with the legs between and the waiting. Common ticket ¥630.

Numbers follow the route below. Pins are the places themselves; walking lines are not drawn because the best way between two stops can change with the tram, the tide or the weather.

Google Maps on a phone takes three stops between start and end, and none on a train or bus route, so the day opens in parts. Each step below also has its own directions.
