Japan for the 10th time (Finally!) - October and November 2023 - Page 3 - 237

The ride over is about 10 minutes, with a lot of smoke to look at. Also you do now have to pay the 100 yen ($1) tourist tax to go here. This adds a lot of confusion for everyone, locals included, as you have to get that ticket from a different machine, and present it to the person at the entrance to the ferry. This fee is part of the governments half arsed program to limit tourism, seriously, that is what it is called. Miyajima exists only as a tourist place, so limiting tourists from going there via a $1 fee seems well thought through.
