Itinerary
1
As you step off the sleek Jetfoil after an 85-minute glide across the East China Sea, the fresh, salty breeze of the "Goto Blue" greets you. Welcome to Fukue Port, the vibrant heart and gateway of the Goto Islands.
1 hour and 30 minutes
2
Start your morning atop Mt. Onidake, a majestic cinder cone covered in a vibrant carpet of grass. This easy trek offers a stunning 360-degree view of the emerald-blue sea and the surrounding islands. Feel the island breeze and witness the unique volcanic topography that defines Goto’s natural beauty.
If you prefer the sea to the slopes, you have the option to swap the morning trekking for a SUP session! Glide across the calm, transparent bays for a peaceful yet active island experience. It is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the "Goto Blue" right from the start.
Availability: Late April to late October.
Requirement: This activity is available for guests with a height of approximately 120cm (3'11") or taller.
Flexibility: Perfect for those who want to prioritize water activities over hiking.
1 hour
3
Visit the iconic Dozaki Church, the first brick church built in the Goto Islands after the ban on Christianity was lifted. This red-brick Gothic structure stands peacefully by the sea, serving as a monument to the faith and endurance of the local community during centuries of persecution.
30 minutes
4
Explore the secluded Hantomari area, a tiny, picturesque village with a "hidden" history. Here, you’ll visit the home of GOTOJIN, a craft gin distillery that has taken the world by storm. Using local botanicals like Camellia flowers, this gin captures the very essence of the island's soul.
1 hour
5
Conclude your day at the Goto Winery. Sample unique wines produced from grapes grown in the island's rich volcanic soil. The mild climate and sea breeze give these wines a distinct character—a perfect "liquid souvenir" of your journey.
1 hour
6
As the sun begins to dip lower in the sky, we return to Fukue Port to conclude our island adventure. While it’s hard to say goodbye to the serene "Goto Blue," the journey back to Nagasaki offers a final chance to soak in the beauty of the East China Sea.
Please note the schedules for the jetfoil are subject to change.
Customizing Your Afternoon
