Jinbei Ferry Landing |

|
The banks of the Shirinashi River were once upon a time famous
as a site ablaze with autumn leaves. According to Settsu Meishozue
Taisei (the Authoritative Guide to Places of Interest in Settsu
Province), there was a tea stall founded at this site by a man named
Jinbei. This establishment was called Hamagurigoya, and it featured
a steady stream of guests who arrived to relish the delicacies of
the famous corbicula and clams that were served here. The Jinbei
Passenger Terminal continues to thrive in this day and age and ferries
link Izuo 7-chome, Taisho-ku to Fukuzaki 1-chome, Minato-ku. Two
ferries operate during the morning rush hour. |
