Matsumoto Kiyoshi Tsushima: Shopping Guide & Hitakatsu Port Directions 2026

When you travel to Tsushima, Value Mart is an absolute must-visit for shopping!

​

Today, I'm sharing a post about

Matsumoto Kiyoshi, which is right next door.

​

I'll cover everything in order: from how to get there from Hitakatsu Port,

store information, reviews of the items I actually bought,

and finally, a price and product comparison with Value Mart.

How to Get There from Hitakatsu Port

I traveled by rental car, but I know many of you might be looking to get there by bus, bike, or taxi from Hitakatsu Port,

so I've put together a quick guide for each option.

​

①.Bus

​

From Hitakatsu Port to Value Mart Oura Store,

there are 5 regular buses and 2 Waniura loop buses running.

​

The regular bus takes 15 minutes, while the loop bus takes 31 minutes, so if you're only going to Value Mart, the regular bus is more convenient.

​

The fare is 310 JPY one-way, and since the intervals between buses are long,

day-trippers should plan their shopping time around the return bus schedule.

​

② Electric Bicycle

​

Many people traveling in Tsushima also use bicycle rentals.

​

I didn't use an electric bicycle, so I can't recommend specific shops or pricing, but I did snap a pic of a coupon I found at Hitakatsu Port.

​

However, there's a tunnel section on the way to Value Mart, so you'll need to be careful if you're going by bike.

​

📌 If you plan to do a lot of shopping, I recommend taking the bus or a rental car over an electric bicycle.

​

③ Taxi

​

There's also Hikari Taxi, which is widely used in Tsushima.

​

You can add them as a friend on KakaoTalk and book via voice call, and the taxi fare is around 1,600 JPY one-way.

​

If you have your return time set, it's a good idea to pre-book your taxi back as well.

Shopping Haul Review

​

After grocery shopping at Value Mart,

I headed straight next door to Matsumoto Kiyoshi.

​

I'll share a comparison of the size and prices of both stores separately at the end of the post.

​

​

While Ebisu toothbrushes are famous,

I personally love Sensodyne toothbrushes.

​

​

I've tried it, and it fits perfectly, so I always stock up on these toothbrushes.

Highly recommend for those who prefer smaller brush heads!

​

TMI: I'm still too scared to get my wisdom teeth out,

but the small brush head cleans even my wisdom teeth really well.

​

​

Every time I visit Japan, I've always been curious about that subtle fabric softener scent,

and it turns out my Japanese friend uses it!

​

I asked her to send me a photo of the fabric softener, and I bought it this time.

​

​

I bought the large size.

If you've ever wondered about that unique Japanese fabric softener scent, definitely give this a try!

​

This is a powder detergent called Kaostic Zero.

The one in the photo is specifically for indoor drying,

making it an absolute must-have for laundry, especially when it's humid like now!

Being a powder, it's super lightweight, making it perfect for stocking up and bringing home!

Utamaro Laundry Soap and Shimitore

I actually tried Shimitore when it was super trendy,

but I honestly didn't feel it was exceptionally good at stain removal.

Utamaro, however, works wonders on stubborn sock and shirt stains,

making it fantastic for pre-treating!

Just a heads-up, it does contain a fluorescent whitening agent,

so I'd recommend sticking to white clothes for this one.

​

Rohto Vita 40 is an item I always make sure to grab whenever I'm in Japan.

It's fantastic for those moments when your eyes feel dry or fatigued.

Just a quick note: it's not meant to be used while wearing contact lenses,

so if you're a contact lens wearer, make sure to double-check this before you buy!

Many popular health supplements in Korea, like Yunker and Hepalyse QPCore,

are readily available here.

I already had a good supply from my previous trips, so I decided to pass on them this time.

Given the large number of Korean visitors, the pain relief patches are also prominently displayed with popular Korean favorites.

Personally, I highly recommend Loxonin over Salonpas or Coin Pas!

This is one of those items I absolutely make sure to bring back every time I visit Japan.

I really should get around to reviewing the products I've recently purchased,

but I figure I need to use them for at least half a year to give a proper assessment, so it keeps getting postponed.

I'm prone to swelling, and when I'm in Japan, with all the delicious drinks and

frequent soy-sauce based meals, I notice I swell up even more.

That's why I always make sure to stock up on Mukumi by the box!

Just a heads-up: the boxed Mukumi wasn't available at Ohura Value Mart,

but I found it at Matsumoto Kiyoshi.

Konjac jelly is one of those items you'll find virtually everywhere,

and it's fantastic for controlling cravings when you're on a diet!

While it didn't have as wide a variety of snacks as Value Mart,

it still stocked all the well-known ones, and even a great selection of Nissin Cup Noodles!

Right next to Matsumoto Kiyoshi, there's also a 100-yen shop, so I highly recommend checking both out!

Value Mart vs. Matsumoto Kiyoshi

They're right next to each other, so

many of you might want to visit both,

but if you're on a day trip, your shopping time could be quite tight!

It took me about

1 hour and 30 minutes to browse both!

Ohura Value Mart had a wider variety,

and for the same products, the prices

at Matsumoto Kiyoshi were slightly cheaper.

​

Both locations offer tax-free shopping, but

at Matsumoto Kiyoshi, you can combine tax exemption with discount coupons.

​

What's more, duty-free closes at Value Mart at 5 PM,

so if you're shopping late in the afternoon,

Matsumoto Kiyoshi will be more convenient.

​

So, I recommend buying at Matsumoto Kiyoshi first,

and then heading to Value Mart only for the items you couldn't find.

​

As for Matsumoto Kiyoshi coupons,

you get 3% off for purchases over 10,000 JPY, 5% off for over 30,000 JPY,

and 7% off for over 50,000 JPY, so make sure to grab one before you pay!
