From Major Cities to the Ports
Getting to the Islands
The Setouchi Triennale is held on 12 islands in
the Seto Inland Sea between Kagawa and Okayama prefectures.
Ferry routes and timetables have been divided
into islands located in the west part of Kagawa and the east part of Kagawa.
Islands in East Kagawa can be reached from either Takamatsu Port or from Uno Port in Okayama.
Islands in West Kagawa can be reached from local ports in western Kagawa.
These local ports can be reached by train from Takamatsu Station. In addition,
Honjima can also be reached from Kojima Kanko port in Okayama.
-
Shamijima, which participates in the spring session only,
is no longer an island and can be reached by taking the Japan Rail line from Takamatsu Station
to Sakaide Station and transferring to a bus, or by car to a parking lot just outside Shamijima. -
Please refrain from taking your car onto any of the islands except Shodoshima.
Not only are cars impractical for getting around most islands,
but they disrupt the daily lives of islanders and cause traffic congestion. -
Please note that travel times indicated on these pages are general estimates
and may vary widely depending on traffic conditions,
type of train, etc.
