We took the ferry from this port to Cat Island, which costs 2,500 yen for a round trip.
The ferry ride lasted about 50 minutes, and there were some waves, so if you’re prone to seasickness, consider taking anti-nausea medication beforehand. The ferry offers a viewing deck with seating, regular seats, and even a space to lie down for added comfort.
For those driving, there’s a large parking lot available. If you’re traveling by public transportation, you can also easily access the ferry from this port.
