After you get off a ferry at the Miyanoura/Naoshima port, take a town bus (100 yen/adult, 50 yen/child).

When your boat/ferry arrives at Miyanoura Port, you will see a distinctive glass building (the ferry ticket center) as you get off. You will see 3 bus stops to its right - take the one in the middle (②). The last stop is us, Tsutsujiso. It will take you about 15 minutes to get here.

When your boat arrives at Naoshima port, you will again be looking for a bus stop (you will just have to walk along the sea, and it will be on your right). Note that buses going to Tsutsujiso stop on the other side of the bus stop, so make sure you are on the right side. It takes about 5 minutes.

Please get off at the last stop "Tsutsujiso" (100 yen/adult, 50 yen/child).

You will soon see the main gate of Tsutsujiso just after the last bus stop. Please go through the gate and pass a cafe to reach the reception.

Please note that the bus is quite small (maximum capacity of 28 people) and there is literally no room for suitcases and large travel bags. It is also one of the main means of transport for the local people, so we want to avoid situations where people in need cannot use the buses.

We strongly recommend that you travel light to/from Naoshima by using locker/luggage storage services in major cities such as Okayama/Takamatsu or by sending your large bags to your next destination first.
