ferries fukuoka to okinawa?

Are there ferries from hakata to okinawa?

If there are how much are they?

Thank you!

No, there is no such ferry. You can see existing ferry lines here:

Found the ferries great everywhere. We went into Fukuoka first, then Oita-Shikoku-Hiroshima back.

do you think it would be worth going to kagoshima and getting the ferry from there or would that be the same cost as a flight from fukuoka?

Thanks again

Flights are generally the cheapest and easiest way to get to Okinawa. A discount flight from Fukuoka to Okinawa can be cheaper than the ferry from Kagoshima.

Skymark Airlines, in particular offers very cheap flights on the Fukuoka-Naha route. Around 10,000 yen one way if you book early in advance. Even the regular fare is a relatively low 15,800 yen!

Prices can be higher and discounts unavailable during summer holidays.
