💡 Tips for Visitors

Renting a car or bicycle is highly recommended as public transportation is limited on the island. The best time to visit is spring or autumn for pleasant weather and the olive harvest season. Most ferry services from Takamatsu accept IC cards, but carry cash for smaller shops and restaurants as credit cards are not widely accepted outside major tourist areas.
