Check the operator’s timetable for your day of the week to choose a return bus.
Visiting tips
Walk from the Visitor Centre to the beach
Even if you take a city bus from Miyako Station via the Visitor Centre, you still need to walk to the beach after getting off. The free park shuttle is seasonal and separate from the city buses serving the station. Check whether it runs on your date, along with your return city bus.
