rains about 1.5 times as much.<br \/>\nEspecially during the rainy season, squalls like overturned buckets will fall almost every day.<br \/>\nSqualls are possible even outside of the rainy season, so

large number of pick-up and drop-off tourists.<br \/>\nTherefore, it is recommended to make reservations in advance.<br \/>\nTickets are only sold on the day of boarding, so it is recommended to buy tickets as early in the day as possible.<br \/>\nThere are three shipping companies, and ticket offices differ depending on the company.<br \/>\nYou can board the boat about 15 minutes in advance, so it is safe to line up at the pier on the same day after you buy your ticket.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
