💡 Tips for Visitors

Ferries run regularly from Takamatsu Port, but check the schedule in advance as frequency decreases in the evening. The island has limited dining options with mostly cash-only establishments, so bring yen and consider packing snacks or lunch. Rent a bicycle at the port to explore more comfortably, as the island has some hilly terrain and attractions are spread out across the 3km-long island.
