Confirm these fees before you book so your operator plan and day budget match what you will pay onsite.
No separate blanket Kushimoto or Susami destination entry charge or Ramsar admission tag was verified. Costs arise from the chosen dive/snorkel operator, managed shore entry, attraction tickets and any fishery cooperation contribution. Some guided-dive prices already include facility use or a fishery fee, so confirm before paying twice. Japan also collects a national International Tourist Tax on most international departures, which is not a local marine-park permit. Published tariffs can change and are not proof of live boat availability.
