Tarumi-ku

Tarumi-ku lies along the Akashi Strait at the Kobe end of the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge. Maiko Park has the Bridge Exhibition Center and the Maiko Marine Promenade inside the bridge, and Mitsui Outlet Park Marine Pia Kobe is nearby on the waterfront.

Pickup points and meeting tips

  • JR Maiko Station and Sanyo Maiko-koen Station are next to Maiko Park.
  • JR Tarumi Station serves central Tarumi.
  • Mitsui Outlet Park Marine Pia Kobe is near Sanyo Tarumi Station.
  • For the bridge promenade, meet at Maiko Park.

Vehicle access

Maiko Park and the outlet have parking, but space for buses should be confirmed. Residential hillsides are steep; coaches stay on main roads.

Check bridge-view attraction parking for coach groups.

Luggage

Outlet purchases add up quickly; groups planning a Marine Pia stop before an airport run should choose a vehicle with spare luggage room, as bags cannot be stored in the aisle.

Frequently asked questions

Can we cross the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge to Awaji Island?

Yes. The bridge is part of the Kobe-Awaji-Naruto Expressway, so a charter can continue to Awaji Island sights; expressway tolls are part of the trip cost.

Is there parking at Maiko Park?

The park has paid parking, but space for large buses is limited, so we confirm arrangements ahead or set down and return at an agreed time.
