A compact, walkable port town famous for squid breakfasts and the mountain-top night view.
Berths vary — some sit near the station and morning market, others run a shuttle. Check your daily program first.
The morning market beside the station: squid, crab and uni bowls from early morning.
Only possible if your ship stays late — check your all-aboard before promising yourselves the ropeway.
Seafood bowls and market browsing
Churches, slopes and the red-brick bayfront
Ropeway view plus the town at leisure
Free to browse, easy to order, and chosen because locals actually go.
Squid so fresh it’s still translucent — bowls from early morning.
Operator photos, live ratings and prices via Viator. Booking through these supports the site — it never picks our verdicts.
It depends on your berth — some are near the station and market, others need the shuttle. Either way the town itself is compact and flat along the bay, with the Motomachi slopes as the one climb.
