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.

    Walk into the arcade

    About eight minutes on foot from Miura Wharf (from Uragashira, take the free water bus to Sasebo Station, about 20 minutes, and ask the desk for the last one back) — a kilometre long, straight and covered
