By Air No matter where you are, it is not difficult to get a flight to Japan. There are flights to Japan from almost anywhere in the world. The primary disembarkation point would usually be Tokyo, but occasionally one of a number of other Japanese airports is used. There are international airports on the main island of Honshu (Nagoya, Niigata, Osaka and Tokyo), Kyushu (Fukuoka, Kagoshima, Kumamoto and Nagasaki), Okinawa (Naha) and Hokkaido (Sapporo). By Sea Pusan-Shimonoseki Pusan-Fukuoka The Camellia-line ferry service takes around 15 hours from Pusan to Fukuoka at a cost of US$85 single, US$120 return. Availability: Daily China There is another weekly ferry service called the Shanghai Ferry, which connects Osaka and Shanghai. Tickets are similarly priced. There are also ships from Nagasaki to Shanghai every Thursday. Visitors wanting to go to Tanggu (near Tianjin) from Kobe could get on the ship that leaves Kobe every Thursday at noon. The ship reaches Tanggu the following day. Economy and first class tickets cost US$200 and US$300 respectively.
