Japan's tuna capital, eight minutes' walk from your gangway — with the mountain (on a good day) floating over the bay.
From Hinode Pier, turn right along the waterfront — the fish market is 8 minutes on foot. No shuttle needed.
That’s the container berth: you cannot walk out. Ride the shuttle and treat its last departure as your real deadline.
Available at the pier, but drivers don’t wait at viewpoints — agree your return pickup before you get out.

On clear days, superbly — but the mountain shows itself clearly only about 3–4 days in 10, and mornings are most reliable. Check early from the deck; if it hides, the fish market, Miho pines and Sunpu history still make a full day.
Yes — from Hinode Pier the fish market is 8 minutes on foot and the Dream Plaza waterfront 10. One caveat: on crowded days ships may berth at Okitsu instead, a container berth where the shuttle is mandatory. Check your daily program.
A small ferry from Hinode Pier across the bay: ¥1,000 one way, about 15 minutes, then a flat 20-minute walk to the pine grove and beach. Confirm return sailings when you board.
