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.
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.
- +0:00Taxi (20–30 min) to the Marsh Observatory, or walk 15 min to Kushiro Station for the 10:25 Tsurui-line bus (arr 11:00)
The bus leaves from the station, not the quay · cash or WAON · the bus back is 12:25 (station 13:10); on a call shorter than 7 hours take the taxi both ways and skip MOO

¥480 · the west-rim loop takes ~1h; the Onnenai barrier-free boardwalk is the flat option, but part of it is closed for rebuilding until 12 Feb 2027
