💡 Tips for Visitors

Ferry access from Takamatsu Port takes about 40 minutes; check the limited ferry schedule in advance as there are only a few departures per day. The island is best explored on foot with comfortable walking shoes due to its many steep slopes and stairs. Most facilities are cash-only and English signage is limited, so bring yen and consider downloading a translation app.
