Has anyone got any information about the ferry that runs from Pusan, South Korea to Nita, Tsushima (southern Japan)?
I'm visiting Korea in February. I'm interested in finding out more about the Pusan to Nita ferry. What do you know about it? Cost, sailing times, where to catch it in Pusan? I don't speak the language, so will it be difficult buying tickets? Do they take credit cards for tickets? Will I need a visa for a 3 hour visit?!
I have seen the very helpful info at

Thanks.
Reply to this first, no problem about english. all of the people at the ticket office will speak english. not well, but certainly enough to get you the right ticket. yes they will take your credit card. the trip takes about 24 hours. A storm might slow you down or get the trip cancelled. The cost is about 75 USD. The schedule changes from fall-winter-spring-summer. I don't know the winter schedule. Check the web. Take a blanket, pillow, food. lots of food. a book. the onboat "restaurant" will charge you 7 bucks for a sandwich that might feed a small squirrel. change some money into yen BEFORE you leave. you will need it to move away from the docks.
