MatMan44a Posted August 19, 2023 #1 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi all, we will be travelling to Japan and South Korea in March 2024 with Celebrity Cruises. Does anyone have any experience or know if there are transfers / shuttle buses in the ports please either provided by the cruise company or port authority? We particularly want to go to the beach in Ishigaki and Jeju Island but none of the excursions listed with the cruise company feature this & in other destinations the cruise lines have simply had a beach transfer coach which you pay for - any help would be hugely appreciated! - Thanks in advance 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From port to the ferry terminal in town, not to the beach. I believe you can take a bus to the beach from there. You may check out the videos under my signature on these ports. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatMan44a Posted August 28, 2023 Author #4 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Thanks for taking the time to reply! We begin in Tokyo/ Yokohamabut have already arranged transfers here. We were really wondering about transfers in Osaka, Kochi, Okinawa, Ishigaki, Jeju Island (South Korea) & Kagoshima. Any help & advice welcome! Thanks again 😃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peelboy Posted August 29, 2023 #5 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Refer to this website for port details. Osaka, kochi and Kagoshima ships will dock very near to subway or trains so shuttles aren’t required. There are free shuttle in all Okinawa ports. www.whatsinport.com 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help & advice welcome! Thanks again 😃 Osaka is really easy to take public transportation to city center. A short walk will take you to the subway station, then a ride to downtown, if your ship is docked at Tempozan cruise terminal. Kochi had transfers that cost $20 pp, I believe. We took a taxi instead. Okinawa no transfers available but can walk to town if no mobility issues or take a taxi. We walked. I believe they have transfers at Jeju (pay) but we hired a van while there. They did have transfers at Kagoshima port to the train station, I think, but again, we took taxis to downtown then did the one-day City View Bus. You can find videos of these ports in my signature or here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
