Hello guys,
Have any of you guys been in the cat island before? Im planning to visit the cat island on november, so I was doing my research about the directions, if going on train, ferry, or by car or mixed, but i cant belive the ferry hours which is the one that takes you to the island on on this website
Can anybody confirm this? So the ferry visit the island twice a day? What are you suppose to do in 7 hours in the island? I will be good with just at least 3 hours on it, Or does the ferry conducts multiple rounds during the day?
As far of the weather, hopefully it doesnt rain on november.
I live in hiroshima by the way, it should be a ~6 hour trip. I just dont wanna get stuck the whole day with feral cats 😅.

That is correct — there are 2 ferries/day/direction. Most people just go on the second ferry and spend 1.15 hour on the island.
Note that the ferries doesn’t even connect properly with the train at Iyo-Nagahama station.
That’s why not a lot of people visit there. It’s a full-day commitment.
The 1hr option is sufficient I think. The habited area (humans and cats) is pretty small.
We arrived in time, but then we just saw a sign that said there is no ferry today. So be careful, because that 6 hour trip could end up being wasted like ours.
What are you suppose to do in 7 hours in the island?

Was your visit a success? I just found out about this place and am doing all the research I can.
