Why it is on this site
  • Maizuru's pier is far from both sights and public transport is thin; the operator meets you at the port and brings you back, which is the problem this port actually has.
  • It is priced per person, so a couple pays for two seats rather than a whole car.
  • Eleven reviews average 4.4, and it was open on both Maizuru ship days in our schedule for the next four months.
Best for

Couples on a call of nine hours or more who want Amanohashidate and Ine in one day without hiring a car.

Think twice if

Choose the Amanohashidate route (itinerary B): the Kyoto City option spends most of the day on the road for a few hours in Kyoto. The listing does not say what is included beyond the transport, and reviewers report that some days the driver speaks little English and the guiding is light. Entry fees and lunch are your own.
