What To Expect

1

Embark on an exciting cruising adventure in Miyakubo, retracing the footsteps of Japanese pirates who once navigated the tumultuous tides of the surrounding sea. If you like adventure and discovery, this experience is highly recommended. In fact, you will be able to observe the clashing tides up close and a unique perspective of the Hakata-Oshima Bridge from below. *Attention* This activity is available for all the costumers. After the customers get off, the bus will wait for them and then depart for the next destination, Miyajima.

40 minutes • Admission Included

Hakata-Oshima Bridge

Tobishima Kaido is a hidden gem in Japan, unknown to even most Japanese people. It consists of seven bridges that connects seven small islands, two of which have no inhabitants. In the middle of the route, there is a section from Okamura to Munakata that is not connected by a bridge. The only way to reach the next stop is by using a ferry, which allows the bus to reach Munakata port. Due to its limited accessibility, not many people use this route. However, we decided to include it in the tour because of the breathtaking scenery of the Seto Inland Sea and the unique architecture of the bridges, which cannot be seen anywhere else.
