Breakfast is free curry rice. It is 3 minutes away from the bus stop. It has high CP value. I will stay here again next time!

The location is directly opposite Tonosho Port. It is very convenient to take the ferry or the bus on the island. The service staff of the hotel are very kind. The hotel's dinner service and hot spring facilities are also great. I recommend everyone to experience this pure and relaxing Shodoshima time.

You need to select the correct vehicle length when purchasing, and go to the Takamatsu Port Ticket Office to collect the physical ticket before departure. Staff instructions are clearly arranged

If you purchase this activity, you need to go to the ticket office of Takamatsu Port to redeem the physical ticket before departure. Tickets purchased on site are more expensive than klook, and it takes about an hour to get to Shodoshima.

The pier is very convenient to use the QR code to change to the ferry to Shodoshima (you cannot use the QR code to board the ship directly), and the instructions for boarding and disembarking are clear. If you don’t live near the pier and can’t change flights early, arrive early and wait in line to get on the boat and land there so you have enough time to change flights.
