Furobashi is a stone arch bridge over the tidal channel at Wakaura, beside Tamatsushima Shrine; both are open ground and free. Kishu Toshogu is about 15 minutes away on foot by our estimate, at the top of 108 stone steps, with a gentler stair to the left: 9:00–16:30, adult ¥300. Its gate looks back over the bay.
- 2 hr 30 min door to door needs a 4.5-hour call: a 2–3 hour stop cannot hold it. Pick something closer instead.
Wakaura: Furobashi and Kishu Toshogu and your ship
Both pins on one map, so the distance is a fact rather than a feeling.
Where the 2 hr 30 min 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 2 hr 20 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.
