Free ferries in Osaka
The city runs 8 ferry crossings over the rivers and harbour on the west side, all of them free. They are short crossings (75 to 400 m) that people living there take to work and school. Times below leave from the landing with the ferry's office; from the other side the boat goes back as soon as people are on, 1 to 5 minutes later.
Service can change for operational reasons. Red-letter times in the city's table run on Saturdays only (marked Sat below).
