Ferry from Shimonoseki to Quindao 2010/12/3 11:45
Greetings.

I am visting Japan in March 2011 (and cannot wait!!!).

We are then traveling on to China.

We are interested in catching the ferry from Shimonoseki to Quindao.

Is this service reliable? I know it only runs on Wednesdays and Saturdays which will fit our itinery.

Will we have difficulty because we speak very little Japanese of Chinese?

Would it be cheaper to fly from Osaka to Beijing? If so where would I find cheap flights?

Is it difficult to get to Port Shimonoeski from Fukuoka?

Thanks very much for your help.

The one way fare in the cheapest class seems to be 15,000 yen:

During off seasons you can probably find airfares in a similar range:

No. It can be reached in a short walk from Shimonoseki Station, which is a 60-90 minute train ride (enter "Hakata" and "Shimonoseki"):
