how to visit the camphor tree in Kamitsushima
check the ferry schedule ahead since runs are limited off season & the shrine office sells a small goshuin
Early morning is definitely better, the light through the canopy is lovely and you'll have the place mostly to yourself.
One thing worth adding is that the first boat often leaves before the shrine office opens, so bring your own stamp book if you want the goshuin.
Worth noting the walk from the port is unlit before dawn, so bring a torch if you're heading out that early.
I've only been to Kamitsushima once, but the tree sits right by the shrine so it's a short walk from the ferry port. Coming from Umeda, the train to Tottori plus a ferry eats most of a day, so an overnight stay nearby makes more sense than a day trip.
Agreed on the overnight, though the Sakaiminato ferry route often works better than doubling back through Tottori city.
sakaiminato route also puts you near mizuki shigeru road if you need to kill time before the ferry
the ferry from sakaiminato only runs a few times a day fyi
Overnight makes sense, just book the minshuku early.
Yonago station works better than Umeda for a day trip
Osaka residence certificate 2026: where to get juminhyo
Ward offices generally have a walk-in counter for juminhyo, though the wait can run 40 minutes at busy ones like Kita or Naniwa. The booking page issue with katakana is common; skip it and just go in person with your residence card.
yeah walk-in is fine, but go before 10am or right after lunch, the chōritsu counter queues spike around midday. bring your zairyū card and nothing else really matters. also april is transfer season so expect it busier than usual.
agree on skipping the booking. one thing to add: juminhyo is free but the konin copy (certified version) costs 300 yen per copy, so know which one your employer actually asked for. they'll print both at the same counter.
Same-day works, but bring a hanko if u have one.
One thing worth knowing: the counter you want is the koseki/jūmin section, not the sōgō madoguchi that greets you first. If you're in Nishi or Tennōji-ku the queues move quicker than the big central ones.
good call on skipping sōgō madoguchi, that desk just routes u anyway. if u end up in fukushima or konohana the counters are tiny & nearly empty, 5 min job. only catch is some smaller offices close the jūmin window at 4:30 not 5
honestly the katakana thing is likely a full-width vs half-width issue on teh form. try switching your input mode if u bother with the site at all. otherwise just show up, they can't turn you away.
The full-width thing is real but it's often the name field demanding exactly what's printed on your zairyū card, spaces included. If your card shows a middle name the form may be splitting it wrong. Worth trying once, but walking in still works.
half-width is the usual culprit but the site also chokes if ur name has a space where the zairyu card has none. either way u still need the counter for the first one since they verify the card in person
Input mode fixer, or just print your card details as-is.
