The Sakata City Regular Route Office will operate temporary sailings from April 20 to May 1 as an emergency measure following the suspension of the regular ferry “Tobishima” serving Tobishima Island in Japan.
Until arrangements for an alternative ferry are completed, services will be operated using a small recreational fishing boat and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Sakata Port Office harbor work vessel “Mizuho.” Fares will be free of charge, but capacity is extremely limited, so same-day use by general tourists will not be accommodated.
Reservations for sailings between April 24 and May 1 will be accepted by telephone only, starting at 10:00 a.m. on April 20. Priority will be given in the following order: island residents and people equivalent to island residents, guests with reservations at accommodations on the island, and others if seats remain available.
From May 2 onward, Sakata City will coordinate with relevant organizations to launch substitute operations using a passenger vessel capable of transporting a certain number of people, including tourists.
