The Hitakatsu loop departs from Hitakatsu Port Terminal and runs three times a day, stopping at Miuda Beach, the Korea Observatory, and Oura Value Mart. It makes it easy for Korean visitors to hop between Hitakatsu\u2019s top sights and shopping spots.<\/p>\n
The Hitakatsu \u2192 Izuhara and Izuhara \u2192 Hitakatsu routes each operate three times daily and connect North and South Tsushima.<\/p>\n
Stops include Izuhara\u2019s Chosun Tongsinsa Street, Manzekibashi (Manzeki Bridge), the Eboshidake (Mount Eboshi) viewpoint, Oura Value Mart, the Korea Observatory, and Hitakatsu Port Terminal.<\/p>\n
Panstar Group also launched a mobile boarding system called the Miracle Link Pass that uses QR codes, so travelers can board and get on or off mid-route using only their phones.<\/p>\n
Ticket options let travelers pick what fits their plans: a one-day unlimited Hitakatsu loop pass (15,000 KRW, about $11.25), a one-way direct Hitakatsu \u2192 Izuhara or Izuhara \u2192 Hitakatsu single-ride ticket (15,000 KRW, about $11.25), or a pass that covers the Hitakatsu loop plus one direct ride (25,000 KRW, about $18.75).<\/p>\n
Schedules are timed to ship arrivals to minimize transfer waits, and the routes are laid out efficiently so you can hit the island\u2019s major northern and southern sights in a single day.<\/p>\n
Panstar Group\u2019s Japanese unit, Sanstar Line, will operate the Tsushima loop buses, while ticket sales in Korea will be handled by Miracle Tour and Lizzot.<\/p>\n
Passengers select and pay for tickets on the reservation page, receive a QR code by SMS, and scan it on the reader installed on the bus to board. If you prefer a paper ticket, one can be issued at the Panstar counter inside the Busan International Passenger Terminal.<\/p>\n
Paying in Korean won ahead of time and getting Korean-language support throughout the purchase process reduces the stress of language barriers and payment issues visitors sometimes face on Tsushima.<\/p>\n
Panstar Group will also offer charter buses for group tours booked through travel agencies.<\/p>\n
Sanstar Line currently operates a fleet of 30 charter buses in Japan and has earned positive local reviews.<\/p>\n
A Panstar Group representative said, \u201cBy encouraging Korean visitors to use public transport instead of private cars and by connecting a variety of attractions across the island, we hope to help boost the local economy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Panstar Group has acquired the Kamiso (KAMISO) ryokan in Hitakatsu and plans to reopen it this summer after a full remodel.<\/p>\n
Kamiso is one of the government-built \u201cnational guesthouses\u201d established across Japan to promote domestic leisure\u2014renowned for stunning scenery and traditional charm.<\/p>\n
A Panstar spokesperson said, \u201cAfter remodeling, Kamiso will reopen as a luxury ryokan with premium features\u2014hinoki (cypress) baths, a Japanese-style restaurant, and ocean-view rooms\u2014offering true relaxation amid beautiful nature.\u201d<\/p>\n
When Kamiso reopens, Panstar Group will pair its high-speed ferry service, the Tsushima Link, with scheduled loop buses and a hotel to create a seamless, in-house travel experience that lets them offer a wider range of services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
