Tsuki Café

Hokkaidō


A surprisingly tasty cafe for a ferry terminal, Tsuki serves up coffee, cakes and curries to waiting passengers. Service is so-so, and nonsmokers may have to cough their way through the meal, but the large picture windows look over the port and it's a great way to wait for the ferry to come.

It sometimes opens earlier and closes later during busy periods.
