2025 Tsushima Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in April)

In August this year, I went on a 2-day, 1-night trip from Busan to Hitakatsu, Tsushima! It took about two hours by the Nina ferry to reach Hitakatsu Port in Tsushima〰️. It was so nice to arrive in a small Japanese city after just a two-hour boat ride. Among the places I stayed, I spent one night at Toyoko Inn Tsushima Hitakatsu, which is right behind Miuda Beach! The cost-performance ratio was excellent, so I highly recommend it. Address: 1217-5, Kamitsushimamachi Nishido Atmosphere/Facilities: For Japan, the room size was relatively spacious, and the grandmother-style bedding gave a cozy feeling. And the ocean view🩵 was the best! They provide free curry in the evening, and breakfast is included in the accommodation fee, which was tastier than expected🤤. Key Points: All twin rooms have an ocean view. Be sure to enjoy the beautiful ocean view from the twin room. Note that the area is a bit far from downtown, so buy food in the city and bring it to the hotel. You can sit in the lobby and eat, so give it a try~! Average Price per Person: Around 40,000 KRW per night, including breakfast! Rating: Four stars for cost-performance and clean facilities⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#WorldTravel #100TravelStyles 📍Rantei Restaurant Address: 53-2 Izuharamachi Uchiyama, Tsushima, Nagasaki 817-0157 Japan Rantei Restaurant, a must-visit restaurant during your trip to Tsushima Island! The road to here on a clear day is so nice. The view is different from the view I saw when I came from Hitakatsu to Izuhara while looking at the high mountains. And you can eat somen, a traditional Tsushima food made with Rokube (sweet potato starch) noodles All the food was really delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp tempura soba!

#WorldTravel 📍Miuda Beach Address: Tsushima 817-1703 Nagasaki Prefecture Miuda Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Tsushima Island. I was surprised by the wide expanse of white sand and the clear water. The water is shallow, so it seems like it would be safe for families to enjoy. I visited with my friends, and it was nice that we could have a simple picnic near the beach. There weren't many tourists, so we were able to spend a quiet and leisurely time. The surrounding natural scenery was also great, so it was a great place to spend the whole day. If you visit Tsushima Island, I highly recommend stopping by.

#WorldTravel 📍Miuda Beach, Tsushima Address: Tsushima 817-1703 Nagasaki Prefecture Miuda Beach in Tsushima is truly a hidden gem. The ocean is so clear and transparent that it feels like you're in Hawaii. The sand is made of fine white sand, so it's great for walking barefoot. When you walk along the beach, you naturally feel at ease. There are no large commercial facilities nearby, so you can enjoy a quiet and peaceful rest. If you visit at sunset, you can also enjoy the enchanting scenery of the sky and the sea. If you really want to find peace of mind, I highly recommend visiting.

When you go to Tsushima Island, you usually do a day trip or a 1-night 2-day trip! On such a trip, visiting a good restaurant is a must, right? So I'll introduce you to the best sushi restaurant in Tsushima Island! They only sell set menus for lunch, but they make the sushi right in front of you, so it's completely trustworthy and delicious! 📍Sushi Doroko Shinichi 🗺️ 13-3 Kamitsushimamachi Furusato, Tsushima, Nagasaki 817-1702 Japan 💟 Sushi set 1,430 yen, Hirekatsu set 1,430 yen #Tsushima Island #Tsushima Island Travel #Tsushima Island Restaurant #Restaurant Exploration #Tsushima Island Travel Recommendation

I bought a lot of lunch boxes at Value Mart! It's really delicious ㅠㅠ It's more delicious than the food sold at restaurants, so I had two meals with a Value Mart lunch box! The price is about 540 yen at the most! There's a store right across from the port when you exit the port for souvenirs, and it's the cheapest there ㅠㅜㅠ I recommend buying them there! I traveled around Hitakatsu Port! Most of the streets are near Hitakatsu Port or places that are a 10-20 minute walk away.

💝The emerald Miuda Beach is the reason I fell in love with Daema Island. It's so beautiful, how can I capture it in a photo?ㅠㅠ It's so pretty in person,, ♥ Miuda Beach is so relaxing,, and so pretty that I can't help but stare at it. Every time I go to Daema Island Hitakatsu, I'm moved and fall in love!💖🌹 From July 20th to August 31st💘 There are also small fish here, so it would be fun to go with kids :) 🐠🐟 The sand is also fine, and it looks like a great place to play if you come during the opening period. The water is very shallow..! The beach is very calm. ✔️The foot washing area next to the bathroom is attached to the shower room wall, so you can use it anytime. I used the foot washing area this time because my shoes got dirty after soaking my feet. ✔️I also went to the bathroom and it was very clean and there was a lot of toilet paper^^!!! However, you have to turn the water on really hard to get the water to come out... ✔️There are a lot of hawks on Daema Island. I think I saw 8 hawks flying over my head while walking.. People who eat at Miuda Beach, be careful of hawks....!!! #Overseas travel #Miuda Beach #Daema Island #Hitakatsu #Tsushima Island

How to get there📝 ✈️ ) 9:55 NRT ⇨ 12:00 FUK This time we went via Fukuoka/Hakata☺️※1 🚌 ) Take a city bus from Hakata Station to Hakata Wharf Depending on the traffic, it takes about 20 minutes 🛳 ) Take the ferry that departs at 00:30 and enjoy a 5-hour boat trip⛴* We took second-class reserved seats, and there were few other passengers, so it was just the two of us in a big room! Strangely, we didn't mind the rocking or noise of the boat and slept like a log💤 The crew kindly told us that we could stay on the boat until 7am😊, so we took them up on their offer and stayed on the boat until 7am🙇🏻‍♀️💫 We arrived safely at the final destination, Izuhara Port! ※2 After disembarking, we immediately rented the car we had arranged 🚗※3 Even though it was only 8 o'clock, they were kind enough to help us 🥲 By the way, the place where we rented the car was about a 5-minute walk from the port It was very helpful because we were pulling a carrier 🌤 Rented a car and headed out for sightseeing! Tourist spots📝 ① "Miudahama", one of the 100 best beaches in Japan The beach also has clean toilets and shower rooms🚿 ② Korea Observatory※4 ※5 ③ Eboshidake Observatory The path to the observation deck is a bit long? There are stairs... After a lot of effort, we reached an observation deck where we could see the islands〜✨ Hotel📝 🏨) I made a reservation on the day without doing any research, but this time I stayed at Toyoko Inn Izuhara It's compact but clean, as it has a nationwide network 😚 It was a great choice, including just sleeping and being within walking distance of the port on the early morning boat the next day! There was a supermarket, the only Family Mart and an izakaya very close to Toyoko Inn, so we had no trouble. By the way, there was a mall right in front of us, and a small souvenir shop where we got souvenirs😌 Tsushima is not very familiar, but it is a deep island that is irresistible for those who like to visit remote islands. However!!! There are a lot of horseflies at this time of year, and if you park your car near trees or grass with the engine running, they will hit you, so be careful⚠️ We recommend bringing long sleeves, white clothes, and insect repellent spray to avoid being bitten😃 ※1 The late-night flight we wanted to take leaves at 00:30, so we also had the chance to do some sightseeing in Fukuoka in our free time🍽 ※2 You can choose the arrival port depending on the time and type of ship ※3 Tsushima has many mountains and few route buses, so we recommend renting a car It is said that you may not be able to make a reservation during the high season🥲 ※4 It is only 49km from Busan Port in Korea‼ ︎If the weather is good, you can see it from the observation deck🔎 ※5 When I was looking at the view from the observation deck, I saw a wild deer🦌! It was so cute🤍 #Amazing view #Remote island trip #Seaside view #Summer resort I want to keep secret #Fukuoka #Nagasaki #Tsushima #Amazing view

🔸Japan's Tsushima Island Izuhara Toshimi Island is a place you can take a boat from Busan :) The ticket is cheap and since it's a big boat, I didn't get any seasickness~~ Izuhara and Hitakatsu are popular, but I went on a day trip, so I looked around Izuhara ㅎㅎ I went shopping at Tiara Mall, ate ice cream from the ice cream vending machine, and walked around the temple once, so it's just the right amount of time, so it's okay to go on a day trip ㅎㅎ When you feel burdened by a long schedule and miss traveling to Japan, I recommend Tsumi Island as a semi-Japanese experience✨ #Toshimi Island Travel #Overseas Travel Destination Recommendation #Izuhara #Toshimi Island #Japan Travel #Toshimi Island Travel Recommendation

#March Travel Support Event The Konbira Ebisu Shrine Torii in Hitakatsu, Tsushima Island is a traditional Japanese shrine entrance torii, and is characterized by a quiet and peaceful atmosphere. The area around the shrine is a great place to feel Japanese culture and history. If you want to experience a sacred space along with traditional Japanese architectural beauty, visit.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent There is a cute panda picture on the road of Daema Island that says 'Tomare' to stop and look out. It is a must-have certification shot when traveling to Daema Island. It is a small fishing village, so there are not many cars. Choose your preferred means of transportation such as taxi, bicycle, walking, bus, or rental car.😊

#March Travel Support Event The cozy Daema Island accommodation Miuda Pension is filled with the scent of trees, giving the feeling of being in a resort forest. Miuda Beach is located right in front, making it a great accommodation with easy access to Hitakatsu's tourist attractions. It's a great place to have a barbecue and rest with your friends and family.

#MarchTravelSupportEvent Daemado Hitakatsu Port is an important port on Japan's Daemado Island, boasting beautiful scenery along the sea. This is the main entrance to Daemado Island, and is a lively place with various ships coming and going. In particular, the scenery around the port is quiet and somehow gives a peaceful feeling. A certification shot with the ship I will be riding and the ship I came on is a must.

✔️Address: 1369-1 Izuharamachi Kokubu, Japan (Izuhara) ✔️Atmosphere/Facilities: It's a new building, so it's clean. Since it's a new building, the outside of the building is clean, and the inside is shiny because the hotel owner keeps cleaning the floor! The air conditioning was also cool, so I was able to stay comfortably in the hotel even though I visited in August, which is the middle of summer! As is the case everywhere in Japan, the rooms here were small, so even though it was a double room, it was a small room where I could barely open two suitcases. (It's no secret that I put one suitcase on the desk...) Although it was small, there was a bathtub in the bathroom, so it was nice to be able to relieve some of the fatigue from traveling by taking a half-body bath, and there was a vending machine in the hotel, so if you need something to drink in the early morning, you can use the vending machine conveniently, which is a small advantage! There are shopping malls, convenience stores, ramen shops, and other amenities around the hotel, so it was a very satisfying place in terms of location. The room is small, but it is a cost-effective hotel that is very satisfying in terms of location and facilities for the price. ✔️Key points: The surrounding amenities and commercial areas are all within walking distance, so it is the best place in terms of location! There is a shrine nearby, and if you go with a package, you cannot enter as a group, but you can look around once early in the morning, which was also good. ✔️Average price per person: 80,000 won during peak season ✔️Rating: ★★★★ (because it is narrow)

Kyubei Dining is a popular izakaya located in the Hitakatsu area of ​​Tsushima Island, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and a variety of Japanese dishes. It is especially open late, making it a great place for dinner or a drink.😊 Location: 955 Hitakatsu-machi, Tsushima City, Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan If you are visiting Tsushima Island, look for Kyubei Dining where you can enjoy fresh seafood and a variety of dishes. #MarchTravelSupportEvent

Friendya is a restaurant and convenience store located a 7-minute walk from Tsushima Island Hitakatsu Port. Here, you can rent an electric bicycle for 1,000 yen for 2 hours, making it convenient to tour the surrounding tourist attractions. Kukudas ice cream and soft serve ice cream are also popular menu items. In particular, there are always Korean-speaking staff members, so you can use the service without a language barrier. (Did you know that Tsushima Island calls friends "friends" instead of "tomodachi"?😊) #March Travel Support Grant Event

Sushidokoro Shinichi is a famous restaurant that serves authentic sushi made with fresh ingredients. You can taste various kinds of sushi and nigiri, and the freshness of each ingredient is outstanding. You can enjoy sushi prepared with care in a clean atmosphere. I highly recommend it to those who love sushi! But I couldn't eat sashimi, so I ate tonkatsu alone here.. The waiting line is long, so be prepared for the heat and cold when waiting in summer or winter.. #March travel support event

Tsushima Hitakatsu Sanya Confectionery is a famous confectionery located in Tsushima Hitakatsu area, and is especially famous for its bread called Kasumaki. Kasumaki has a crispy exterior and soft interior, and the taste is similar to dorayaki. It is a snack that you must try when visiting Tsushima, and you can taste its unique taste. Be sure to stop by when you visit Tsushima! #MarchTravelSupportEvent

Poem Bakery is a popular bakery for both locals and tourists located near Hitakatsu Port in Tsushima, Japan. It is famous for its Yakisoba bread and Egg Mayo bread, but these breads are hard to get unless they open for business.ㅠ It opens at 8am, so we recommend visiting early. It is closed on Sundays, and only accepts cash payments, so please note! #MarchTravelSupportEvent

#Overseas travel Meshiya ☑️Business hours 17:00 - 23:30 📍Address 〒817-0024 Nagasaki Prefecture Toma-shi Otemabashi 1046 The place I'm introducing this time is Izakaya Mesiya located in Tsushima Island. It's an Izakaya located near the city center, so I was lucky enough to visit without waiting. There might be a bit of a wait on weekends. I recommend visiting at opening time. :) There's a Korean menu. I ordered assorted sashimi, assorted fried food, and yakisoba, and they were all really delicious. Go to Tsushima Island and enjoy a short but fulfilling trip to Japan!

#Emotional Accommodation #DaemadoTravel #Daemado #DaemadoAccommodation This time, I will introduce you to a place located in nearby Japan's Daemado Temple Stay Seizanji. I made a reservation through Trip.com in a hurry a week before my trip! Fortunately, the room I wanted was empty, so I made a reservation. I made a reservation for an upper-floor ocean view twin room, and I recommend that breakfast be included. Because the breakfast here is really neat and delicious :) I went on a really cold day, but the blanket was warmer than I thought, so I slept well and woke up! The ocean is visible from the window, and the view is really spectacular. ☑️Check-in 15:00 Check-out 10:00 ☑️Upper-floor ocean view twin room (maximum 3 people) 🧡Additional breakfast is required

I was wondering where to stay when I traveled to Tsushima Island, but I remembered Seizanji, where I had been before, so I made a reservation again. I made the reservation on Trip.com. The accommodation was very cozy and warm. I recommend that you make a reservation with breakfast included :) There aren't many restaurants in Tsushima Island that serve breakfast. I think it would be good to have a hearty breakfast and start your trip.

#Overseas travel ☑️Business hours 11:00 - 19:00 📍Address Japan 〒817-0021 Nagasaki, Tsushima, Izuharamachi Imayashiki, 661-3 交流センタ Tiara Mall 1st floor This time, I'm going to introduce you to a restaurant where you can have lunch, Daishuan Udon, located in Izuhara, Tsushima. Situated in Tiara Mall, this place doesn't have a break time, so you can visit comfortably. When I moved from Hitakatsu to Izuhara, lunch time was over. I highly recommend it because it's great for a leisurely meal. There's no Korean menu, but you can check it using a translator. ☑️Food ordered: Kake udon, katsu curry, egg rice bowl All the food is delicious and clean:)

Daema Island ‘Okabe Restaurant’, open only 4 hours from 11:00 to 15:00 When traveling to Daema Island, be sure to have lunch at Okabe Restaurant with omelet rice!!! Daema Island ‘Okabe Restaurant’ 📍835 Kamitsushimamachi Hitakatsu, Tsushima, Nagasaki 817-1701 Japan #JapanTravel #TravelPlan #DaemaIslandTravel

✨Hotel features: It's a little far from the terminal, but it's quiet and if you like walking, you can walk a distance that you can feel the emotion. ♨️Facility introduction: If you apply for breakfast, you can taste Japanese home cooking. 🛁Room introduction: Two or three people can sleep comfortably, the bed is clean, and the sea view is very nice. The only regret is that the soundproofing is not very good! 🍽️Breakfast: It's a little bland home cooking, so if you only eat salty food, this kind of food tastes healthy. 🛎️Hotel service: The owner's grandfather only speaks Japanese, so it's good to use a translator. However, the owner's grandfather was really kind and explained things well. 💗Accommodation review: If I go to Daema Island again, I'll rent a car and stay here again. #Travel plan #Daema Island #Japan travel

#Travel itinerary I'll share some great tips on a 2-day, 1-night trip to Daema Island that you can take on the weekend!! I have another trip planned in a few weeks, so a long trip that requires a lot of annual leave is burdensome, and a 2-day, 1-night trip in Korea is too boring. There is no better alternative than Daema Island. You can enjoy Japanese food and culture with a small-town feel even in a short period of time. And the natural scenery is so beautifully preserved. Daema Island 2-day, 1-night trip was truly the best memory given to us during our short vacation!! Daema Island is largely divided into Hitakatsu and Izuhara, but we decided to focus on Hitakatsu because it was too tight to only see Hitakatsu in a 2-day, 1-night trip. This is the first day's itinerary. Day 1: MADO - Cafe Tsushima - Miuda Beach - Nagasanoyu Onsen - Shimamesiya Hoguto - Value Mart Hitakatsu - Toyoko inn Tsushima Hitakatsu MADO _ As soon as you arrive at Hitakatsu Port by boat, there are many waiting lines at many stores. We chose the nearby Mado, which was clean and somewhat suited to Korean tastes. The staff was friendly and spoke simple Korean. CAFE TSUSHIMA _ This is a cafe located right near Mado. The interior is clean and has a nice feel to it. The coffee tastes great because it is crowded with people. Since it is connected to Mado, you can get a discount on coffee if you have a receipt. MIUDA BEACH _ This is the best highlight tourist spot in Hitakatsu. As soon as I got there, I was amazed by the beautiful color of the ocean. The emerald sea is beautifully spread out and the water is so clear. There are free shower facilities and restrooms on the beach, and they are very clean. If you spread a mat in a pavilion, you can avoid the sunlight. Also, there are several cute food trucks near the entrance. Since it was a food truck, I didn't expect much, so I ordered draft beer, but it was so delicious. I definitely recommend you try it when you go. Nagasanoyu Onsen _ If you go up the hill from Miuda Beach, you will find Nagasanoyu Onsen. If you pay the same-day fee and go in, you can enjoy the hot spring while looking at the beautiful scenery of Hitakatsu. It's so nice that you can wash up right after playing in the sea. If you visit Miuda Beach, be sure to try it. Shimameshiya Hoguto _ After the sun set, I took the hotel shuttle back to Hitakatsu Port in the evening. Since Japan is famous for izakayas, I was really looking forward to it. I visited on Sunday and didn't make a reservation in advance, so I couldn't go to many places... After looking around hard, I found a gem of an izakaya. Fortunately, I was able to wait. The staff were also very friendly. The food was all delicious, so I ordered several times and the price was reasonable. Be sure to visit when you have a drink in the evening. Value Mart Hitakatsu Branch _ Actually, I went to the shuttle and did some shopping first. I had to buy snacks to eat at the hotel, but since it closes early, I recommend buying them in advance. Since I went late, most of the delicious food was sold out. Toyoko Inn Tsushima Hitakatsu Branch _ After finishing the first round at Shima Meshiya Hoguto, I went to the pick-up location at the appointed time and the hotel shuttle came. I took it and went back to the hotel and started the second round. There were tables and comfortable chairs in the lobby, so I was able to enjoy the food I bought at the mart in a pleasant atmosphere. There was also a vending machine selling alcohol in the lobby, so I was able to eat as much as I wanted without any worries. The interior of the hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly. The view of Tsushima from the hotel was so pretty. It seems to be the best accommodation in Hitakatsu. Plus, it is close enough to walk to Miuda Beach. Day 2: Okabe Restaurant - Ice Cream Vending Machine - Konbira Ebisu Shrine Okabe Restaurant _ A restaurant run by an old couple, it feels like a country grandmother's house. The omelet rice was so delicious, and the grandmother took good care of me with her tsundere charm. The interior of the restaurant is also decorated with an old-fashioned restaurant interior. The warmer atmosphere than Mado was my taste. Ice Cream Vending Machine _ There are many vending machines in Japan, but the ice cream vending machine was especially amazing. I was very satisfied because the ice cream was cheap and the quality was good. Konbira Ebisu Shrine _ Konbira Ebisu Shrine overlooking Hitakatsu has traditional Japanese shrine gates all the way up, so I could really feel the Japanese sentiment. When I got to the top, I could see Hitakatsu at a glance in the clear air. I visited on Sunday, so I couldn't eat many delicious restaurants. I highly recommend Saturday over Sunday! And since there are many delicious restaurants, if you mix and match your preferences and make reservations, you will be able to complete a fulfilling 1 night 2 day trip itinerary!!

Dinner is Yakiniku Course available only for 1 night and 2 days

A 2-day, 1-night trip is better than a day trip to Daema Island.
