This entry is part of a series, Planning Japan»
So the time came, I refreshed and refreshed across 1:29 to 1:30AM, (9:30AM Tokyo Time), waiting for the tickets to fly out to Amami Oshima to become available; refresh, still not available, refresh again, and, sold out. I was expecting a rush, but not to be gutted in a single instant. The question remains what to do now? Ferry’s are cheaper, but take 11 hours either direction, and we could be stranded on Amami for days before being able to get back to the mainland. To make matters worse, I’m away on holiday when the ferry tickets become available, and the process isn’t in English either. This is gonna be a tough one, but if it really comes to it, I’m sure we’ll be able to bribe a fisherman to take us out to a visible location.
