Access

The Oki Islands can be reached by ferry from Shichirui Port or Sakaiminato Port, which are close to Matsue City centre. Shichirui and Sakaiminato are 45 min from JR Matsue Station by bus (schedule and fare in Japanese here). Slow ferries take around two and a half hours to reach the islands, but the fast ferry (Rainbow) takes just one hour. You can also access Oki Airport on Dogo Island from Osaka Itami Airport or Izumo Airport.
