If you have any disabilities (including handicaps) that may interfere with your ability to board the ship, or if you have a chronic illness or other medical condition, please let us know in advance so that we can determine if you can board the ship, because there is a risk that your condition may get worse.

Please note that, depending on the weather and sea conditions of the day, landing on Gunkanjima may not be possible even if conditions in the port are calm. This is because there is a great difference between the waves in Nagasaki Port and the waves around Gunkanjima. We will refund the ticket for the Gunkanjima Cruise if the ship's operation has been suspended.

In the event that the ship has departed from the port but landing on Gunkanjima is not possible due to high waves, the cruise will return to port early. We will refund the difference between the landing tour fee and the cruising tour fee.

Please note that Gunkanjima tours are highly dependent on weather conditions, and landing on the island is not always guaranteed. If the ferry is cancelled on the day due to weather, the tour will automatically be replaced with a city sightseeing itinerary, including a visit to the Gunkanjima Digital Museum. This revised 6-hour itinerary can be customized at your discretion and will include a private taxi. In this case, we will refund the ferry ticket fee; however, please understand that all other tour costs are non-refundable.
