It feels like almost every train line in Japan has those “Otoku” or discount passes, but since Keikyu is my home line, I am a bit biased toward theirs. They have a ton of options like the Hayama Excursion Ticket or the Yokosuka Enjoy Ticket, but today we are talking about the heavyweight: the Misaki Maguro Pass.
If you want to see the Miura Kaigan Cherry Blossom Festival (which I wrote about here!), this pass is basically a requirement because it turns a potentially expensive day into a flat-rate adventure. It is the perfect solution when you want to get out of the house but don’t want to spend the whole day doing “math” on train fares and lunch prices. I am not a fan of complicated planning, so having a ticket that says “here is your ride, your lunch, and your fun” is a lifesaver when I am feeling a bit clueless about what to do with my weekend.
What Exactly Is The Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket?
Keikyu makes this pretty easy to follow. When you buy the Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket, you get three separate vouchers. Ticket A is your transportation. It covers your round trip from wherever you start all the way to Misakiguchi Station. Once you are down there, you can hop on and off the Keikyu buses as much as you want within the designated area. This is huge because the bus rides to the port or Jogashima can really add up if you are paying per ride.
Ticket B is the Maguro Selection Meal Ticket. This is the part I usually get the most excited about. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, and each one has a special menu specifically for ticket holders. You just walk in, show your ticket, and they bring out a tuna specialty so wouldn’t believe it’s what you get for the price you paid. It is usually a tuna bowl or a sashimi set, and honestly, the quality is incredible for a discount deal.
The variety is great too. If you decide to start your day at Miura Kaigan Station, you have some great sushi options right there. Iroha Sushi is practically next to the station and they serve a set with seven pieces of sushi including their special daikon radish sushi which uses sweet vinegared local radish. They also include small side dishes and miso soup. If you are not in the mood for sushi, Cafe134 has a massive negitoro tower bowl that comes with a soft boiled egg and miso soup. They also have an option for a Miura beef roast beef bowl if you want a break from fish.
Klook.comFor a more sit down restaurant experience near Miura Kaigan, you can head to Maholova Minds Miura. Their restaurant offers two sophisticated choices. You can pick the tuna rare cutlet which is crispy on the outside and tender inside, or the tuna rare steak served with a Miura vegetable caponata. B
If you travel further down toward the tip of the peninsula, the options at Misaki Port are even more numerous. Many of the shops there focus on traditional bowls. For example, Kairaku offers a tuna bowl with both lean and medium fatty cuts plus small side dishes. If you want something a bit different, some shops like Bayside Cafe offer a tuna and avocado tartar bowl which comes with a specialty coffee or a soft drink.
One thing to keep in mind is that each restaurant has its own operating hours and some are closed on certain weekdays like Tuesdays or Wednesdays. Most of them stop serving the ticket menus between 2:00 PM and 3:00 PM for lunch, though a few stay open into the evening. It is a good idea to check the specific closing time for the place you want to visit so you do not miss out.
Ticket C is the Leisure Facility or Souvenir Selection Ticket, which is also known as the Miura Misaki Omohide Ticket. You get one choice from a list of activities or gifts. For example, you can for the area’s signature Misaki Donuts option, the ticket gets you a set of any two donuts and a drink of your choice from their specified menu.
If you want a different snack, you could go to Coffee House Poem near Miura Kaigan Station. They offer a choice of their daily pound cake or chiffon cake along with a drink. They also have an option to exchange the ticket for five coffee drip packs instead if you want something to take home. Another choice is Rita Cafe, where you can get two scoops of gelato served in a monaka wafer shell along with a drink.
For those who want to do something active without paying extra, you can ride the Keikyu Open Top Bus Miura for a tour of the area. You can also use it for the Nijiiro Sakana Go underwater sightseeing boat at Misaki Port. If you want to relax, you can use the ticket for day trip entry to the onsen at Hotel Maholova Minds Miura, though you should keep in mind that the open air bath is only for women during the daytime hours when the ticket is valid.
Note that some of the options require an additional payment. For example, if you want to use the Bayside Share co-working space for three hours, you give them your voucher plus 500 yen. Renting a cross bike from Umikaze Cycle for three hours costs the voucher plus 1,500 yen. If you want to try a SUP lesson at S-Ride, you have to pay an extra 3,500 yen and book it a day in advance. Even the pottery class at Pottery Studio Tamadoro requires an extra 2,000 yen on top of your ticket.
For souvenirs, you can head to Urari Marche at the port. You can trade your ticket for a set of tuna meat or a selection of local Miura vegetables. There is also an option at a shop called Shonan Create where you can get a set of tuna related snacks or local sweets. Just remember to check the closing times because many of these shops and activities stop accepting tickets between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM.
Buying The Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket
Getting your hands on this pass is pretty straightforward, but you have to choose between a physical ticket or a digital one. If you prefer a physical ticket, you can buy it at the ticket machines at almost any Keikyu station. You just look for the discount ticket or special ticket button on the screen and it will print out your three separate vouchers. The only catch is that you cannot buy it at Sengakuji or Misakiguchi stations.
If you are like me and want to save a little money, going digital is the way to go. You can purchase the digital version through the Miura newcal site or through apps like Klook. I personally find the apps easier because the interface is in English. Once you buy it, you do not have to worry about paper. You just show the screen on your phone to the station staff and the bus drivers.
The pricing for 2026 is actually quite interesting because the digital version uses dynamic pricing. This means the cost changes depending on which day you go. Keikyu has three tiers for the digital tickets. Digital Ticket A is the cheapest and is usually for quieter weekdays. Digital Ticket B is for standard weekends. Digital Ticket C is the most expensive and covers high season dates like long holiday weekends or the peak of the cherry blossom festival.
To give you an idea of the cost, a physical ticket from Shinagawa is a flat 4,250 yen. If you go digital from Shinagawa, the price ranges from 3,750 yen for those quiet weekdays up to 4,250 yen for the busiest days. From Yokohama, the physical ticket is 4,100 yen, while the digital version ranges from 3,650 yen to 4,100 yen. If you are starting at Haneda Airport, the physical ticket is 4,400 yen and the digital tiers go from 3,900 yen to 4,400 yen. Essentially, going digital during the week gives you a nice discount, but on the busiest holidays, it costs the same as the paper version.
Klook.comMy Sample Misaki Maguro Day Trip Ticket No-Stress Itinerary
10:45 AM: The Quick to Misakiguchi
We hop on the Keikyu Line from Kanazawa-bunko Station. Since we’re already halfway there, it’s a quick 25-minute ride down to Misakiguchi Station. If you are coming from Tokyo, remember your ticket is valid the second you pass through the gates at Shinagawa, but for us, the ride is a breeze. I usually use this time to check the real-time congestion on the Keikyu site to see which restaurants are already packing out.
11:30 AM: Beat The Lunch Rush At Misaki Harbor
As soon as we hit Misakiguchi, we jump on the #2 bus to Misaki Harbor. My rule is to use the Manpuku Ticket before 12:00 PM. If you wait, you’ll be standing in a line of 50 people at spots like Senmiraku. I usually go for their “Tuna and Local Fish Chirashi” because it’s fast and the quality of the chutoro is incredible. Getting lunch over with early means my five-year-old doesn’t have a “hanger” meltdown while we’re waiting for a table.
1:00 PM: Enjoying the View On Jogashima Island
After lunch, we take the bus across the bridge to Jogashima Island. This is the best place to let the kid run wild. We walk the trail to the Umanose Cave to see the massive rock arch. On a clear day, you can see Mt. Fuji perfectly from here. It’s also much quieter than the harbor, so I can actually breathe and enjoy the ocean breeze for a minute.
2:30 PM: The Underwater Sightseeing Boat
We head back to the harbor pier to use the Omoide Ticket for the Nijiiro Fish. It is a bright yellow glass-bottom boat that takes you out into the bay. The highlight is the “underwater station” where you go below deck to see the schools of fish through the windows. It lasts about 40 minutes, which is exactly the amount of time I need to sit down and rest my feet.
3:45 PM: Walk Along The Miura Coast
On the way home, we take the train one stop back to Miura Kaigan Station). Even when the flowers aren’t in bloom, the beach here is huge and great for a quick walk to let the kid dig in the sand for a bit. There are also a few local cafes right by the station if you need one last caffeine hit before the ride back.
4:45 PM: Souvenirs and Heading Home
Before getting back on the train to Kanazawa-bunko, I use any remaining vouchers for a “Memory Gift” like a bag of local tuna jerky or some Misaki Donuts. We’re back in our neighborhood by 5:30 PM, just in time for a low-key dinner at home. It’s a full day of “vacation” vibes without the exhaustion of a cross-country trip.
So, Is The Misaki Maguro Ticket Worth It?
The bottom line is that if you’re planning to eat a decent lunch in Misaki anyway, the pass is a no-brainer. Between the train fare, the bus rides, and a tuna bowl that would normally cost you over ¥2,000, you’re already in the green before you even use your activity voucher. It basically turns a ¥5,000+ day into a flat ¥3,650 fee, which is a massive win for the budget.
But honestly, the real “worth” for me isn’t even the cash savings; it’s the fact that I don’t have to think. Having my lunch and entertainment already “paid for” means I can actually focus on the trip instead of doing mental math every time my kid wants to hop on a boat or grab a souvenir.
