Hi there,

I haven’t taken the ferries myself, but here’s some info that might help.

There are ferries between Kyushu and Shikoku. • Shikoku-Kyushu Matsuyama-Kokura by Matsuyama Kokura Ferry A ferry runs daily from Matsuyama to the port of Kokura in Kitakyushu. Yawatahama-Beppu by Uwajima Unyu Ferry From the port of Yawatahama in western Shikoku (Ehime Prefecture), you can reach Beppu in Oita Prefecture every day. Yawatahama-Usuki by Uwajima Unyu Ferry and Orange Ferry Depart from the port of Yawatahama to Usuki, south of Oita City on Kyushu. Both companies offer 6 to 7 daily departures from each port. Misaki-Saganoseki by Kokudo Kyushi Ferry Every hour from 7:00 AM to 11:30 PM, you can take a ferry between Misaki (the western tip of Shikoku) and Saganoseki (the eastern tip of Kyushu).
