Tips for Visiting Ike-jima #
- If visiting for birdlife or coastal scenery, check tide tables and local ferry schedules in advance-boat access can be infrequent.
- Talk to local fishermen or port officials about landing permissions; small inhabited islands in Nagasaki Prefecture often require permission to set foot ashore.
- Bring sea-sickness remedies if approaching by small boat-the channel currents can be choppy even on calm days.
