💡 Tips for Visitors

Access is by ferry only from Kada Port (round-trip around ¥2,000); ferries run limited schedules so check times in advance and don't miss the last boat back. Bring cash, food, and water as there are minimal facilities on the islands—only basic restrooms and a small seasonal cafe. Wear comfortable hiking shoes for exploring the ruins and trails, and visit during spring or autumn for the best weather and fewer crowds.
