We chartered two ferries that departs at 9:00 and 10:30, and they are free to get onboard.There are non-chartered regular service ferries that leave Takamatsu on 8:00 and 10:00, as well, but they will be very crowded with tourists, and they cost 510 yen one-way. For those who come with the 8:00 or 10:00 non-chartered ferries and don’t go through the reception at Takamatsu port, we have another reception at the venue (school gym) to give you swags etc.
Access
Ogijima island is far and you need to think it as an extra interesting travel to get here. In this post, I’ll show you several transportation choices from Tokyo and Osaka to the ferry port, where we welcome you.
From Narita/Haneda Airport to Takamatsu Ferry Port
We have two international airports in Tokyo, Haneda and Narita. Both have the connection flight to Takamatsu airport. It might be much easier and cheaper for you to search for your flight from your city to Takamatsu, rather than buying separate tickets.
Once you arrive at the Takamatsu airport, there are buses that goes straight to JR Takamatsu station.
From KIX, Kansai International Airport in Osaka
There is no domestic flights that goes to Takamatsu. We recommend you three options to come to Takamatsu; bullet trains, bus, and ferry.
Trains
Take three different trains. It will take around 3.5 hours with the cost of around 10k yen.
The limited express Haruka: From JR Kansai Airport Station, which is just in front of the airport, the Haruka will get you to Shin Osaka Station in 50 minutes. 2,330 yen.
Shinkansen: From Shin Osaka to Okayama, it’ll take 50 to 70 minutes depending on the types of Shinkansen. The fastest one is Nozomi Shinkansen. 6,230 yen.
Marine liner: Marine liner is an express train that will take you from Okayama to Takamatsu Station. It will go across the Setouchi inland sea. 1 hour trip. 1,510 yen.

Access to Ferry port from JR Takamatsu Station
Ferry port for Ogijima is around 10minutes walk from JR Takamatsu Station. Be sure to arrive with some spare time, since the ferry will depart at the exact time (9:00 and 10:30 for charter ferry) and there will be reception at the port for WordCamp.
