The route

How the day runs

Times are from the moment you step off, not from the scheduled arrival. Everything shifts if your ship is late; the order does not.

  3. +2:00
    Taxi to Furukawa market for a covered nokke-don

    The market hall keeps the rain out and the uni in. Closed Tuesdays: on a Tuesday, eat at Uokkui no Den inside Wa Rasse (lunch 11:00–15:00) instead

    Dry, fed, complete

The margin is not optional. This route ends an hour before all-aboard on purpose. If you are running late, drop the last stop, not the hour.
