Ferry Service from Busan to Tsushima Reopens After Three Year Hiatus
It is good to see ferry service between Japan and South Korea is back to normal:
Ferry services between South Korea’s Busan and Japan’s Tsushima Island resumed Saturday after a three-year suspension due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Busan Port Authority said two ferry vessels departed from a port in the southeastern city at 8:30 a.m. and 10:10 a.m., and arrived at Hitakatsu Port on the southwestern Japanese island 1 1/2 hours later.
Tsushima is the closest Japanese island to the Korean Peninsula.
With the resumption, Busan has now reopened all four sea routes with Japan that were halted in April 2020 due to the coronavirus.

What happened to Tsushima Island’s governor who made election speeches that he will ensure there will be no Koreans to be allowed to set afoot on the island ever again?
CCP nose-picking commissars and their so sad chinabots hate for South Koreans to enjoy tourism or have good business with Japan. They want South Koreans to hate all foreigners, fear everything, and live squalid, pointless lives like the people in mu h of China.
Fortunately, most South Koreans are too wise for those worn-out scams.
Considering that Setnaffa has little or no understanding about Korean issue he doesn’t seem to understand that during 2019 Tsushima once pulled out the welcome mat against Korean tourists.
These media outlets pointed out that one of the reasons Japanese merchants rejected Korean customers seemed to be disputes over menus and prices.
A bar owner said, “Koreans say there is no ramen or udon in the store, but they sit still and don’t go out.” Another merchant claimed, “After 10 (Koreans) came and ate a bottle of alcohol and some snacks and went home, empty beer cans and food brought from other stores were in a mess.” A taxi driver pointed out, “Koreans will not be convinced unless they drop even 1 yen.”
In addition, graffiti written in Korean was reported throughout Ozakiyama Nature Park, a tourist attraction, and men who appeared to be Korean tourists openly smoked in public places, and cigarette butts piled up on the riverside nearby.
A local resident expressed dissatisfaction with some Korean tourists ignoring the basic order, saying, “Even if a notice is posted saying not to throw away, leftover juice cans or lunch boxes are thrown away next to trash cans or between stone walls.”
