A coastal shrine reached through a tunnel of old trees, the approach a prefectural natural monument; it is the sister shrine of Oarai Isosaki. Grounds free. It is 2.8 km from the park’s South Gate, so it fits before the park opens at 09:30.
- Short enough to be certain of: 1 hr door to door.
Sakatsura Isosaki Shrine and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 1 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 40 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.
