Tickets can be purchased at vending machines, and the journey takes approximately 2 hours. For the outbound trip, choose a seat on the right side of the bus for stunning coastal views. Return bus schedules are limited, so plan your itinerary accordingly. • Onsen Etiquette: Before entering the onsen pool, wash your body thoroughly in the shower area.

Bring a towel, as some foot baths may require you to bring your own. • Weather and Clothing: Summers are cool due to the sea breeze, but rainfall is frequent in July, August, and September, so pack an umbrella or raincoat. Winter winds blow in the opposite direction from summer, resulting in milder temperatures above freezing. A coat, windbreaker, or layered clothing is sufficient🧥.
