Ocho to Akashi Ferry


The small ferry that connects Ocho on Osakishimojima Island with Akashi on Osakikamijima Island is only a ten minute journey and the distance is probably less than 3 kilometers.


It passes right under the Okamura Bridge, the last of the seven bridges that connect the islands along the Tobishima cycle path.


I recently published a piece on that cycle route over at JapanVisitor.....  https://www.japanvisitor.com/japan-city-guides/tobishimakaido


Like all the short ferry journeys throughout the Inland Sea area, the views are pleasant and ever changing......
