Ferry from Motobu, Okinawa to Kagoshima, Kyushu?
I know there is a ferry from Naha, Okinawa to Kagoshima, Kyushu.
I know it takes on the order of a whole day or longer and that its price is approximately equivalent to $150. I am also aware that there might be flights to the main islands of Japan for less.
In my searching I found a mention that the ferry stops at Motobu in the north of Okinawa on the way. Naha is in the south. But I can't seem to find any information on whether it's possible to for a passenger to board the ferry in Motobu and, if so, whether the price might be a little cheaper.
(I am also interested in other ways of getting from Okinawa to the main islands of Japan by sea too but have not come across anything else.)
Best Answer
The problem is that I can only provide the site that lists the Ferries running to/from various locations in Okinawa. It lists 2 lines that make a stop at Motobu, Marix line and A Line both of which provide daily service from Motobu. Both sites are in Japanese and I currently have problem with online translation.
