There are two ferry lines in Mie which connect central Mie to Chūbu International Airport, as well as one that connects Toba to the other side of the bay.

Tsu Airport Line

The Tsu Airport Line is a high-speed ferry that connects Nagisa-machi in Tsu Station and Centrair.

The ride takes 40 minutes and costs ¥2400.

To get to the ferry, there is a bus running from Tsu Station to the ferry docks that is timed to connect with each departing ferry. Taxis are an option as well, but expensive for just one person.

Ise Wan Ferry

The Ise Wan Ferry (伊勢湾フェリー) connects Toba to the Irago Peninsula across the bay on the southeastern edge of Aichi Prefecture.
