Transportation in Tsushima
Tsushima is a very big island stretching from North to South about 82km. It takes about 2 hours by car from Hitakatsu port in North to Izuhara port in South. So it takes whole day to visit major tourist sites. Also, public transport is inconvenient, so we recommend you to rent a car for your trip in Tsushima. Nohaku provides pick-up service, but please contact us beforehand, as there is limit in giving a lift.

We may need you to take public bus to the closest bus stop on national road, and your host will pick you up there. Bus route could be complicated, and it could be hard to tell the bus top name. In that case, if you need pick-up, please let us know of that when you book Nohaku. We will help you with the time of bus and the bus stop to alight.
