[2025 Wakayama Attraction] Travel Guide for Tomogashima Island (Updated Apr)

We will introduce you to a remote island in Kada City, Wakayama Prefecture. First of all, you can enjoy hot springs and gourmet food in Kada City, so we recommend a plan to enjoy a day trip or an overnight stay, and then go to Tomogashima on the second day. Nearest station: Nankai Line Kada (It is far from the station, so we recommend a car) Ferry to use: Tomogashima Kisen Fee: 2,200 yen round trip (half price for children) Basically 4 flights per day. About 20 minutes one way ✔︎This is recommended! You can do sightseeing with just the ferry fare. There are several template courses (there are free guide maps on the island) so you can sightsee at your own pace You can enjoy the extraordinary scenery! It's a bit of a trek♡ The view from the observation deck is also good👍 If you're lucky, you can see wild squirrels🐿 I don't think the boat is strong enough to make you seasick, but if you're worried, don't forget to bring medicine for seasickness. There are also vending machines and a small cafe on the island, but there is also a shop just before boarding the boat, so you can rest assured. The wild squirrels are apparently being fed by the caretaker, so you can see them up close. The roads are well maintained, so it's a recommended spot for families with children. Kada City is in Wakayama City, even in Wakayama Prefecture, so it's easy to access from Osaka. Why not take a casual "island trip" this weekend? ♡ #trip2022 #Tomogashima #WakayamaTrip #WakayamaPrefecture #RemoteIslandTrip #RemoteIslandTrip #WeekendTrip #WakayamaTourism #WakayamaDrive #TripWithChildren #RecommendedOutingSpotsForChildren #Hiking #Trekking #AutumnTrip #AmazingView #TripWithChildren #Laputa

I went on a day trip to Tomogashima Island in Wakayama Prefecture. Boats depart from the port about every hour, making it easy to access. On the way back, be careful not to miss the last boat. There is a parking lot near the port, so you can park there and it's no problem. The parking fee was only 500 yen, so it wasn't that expensive. The island itself is easy enough to walk around once, so it was perfect for me. There are remains of former Japanese military facilities on the island, so it's a fun place for history lovers. There were also cute squirrels near the island's port.

Tomogashima, an uninhabited island in Wakayama City, is a mysterious spot where nature and history blend together. The remains of former fortresses are scattered around, and the unique atmosphere has led people to say it looks like Laputa. Hiking trails are maintained on the island, so you can explore while enjoying the rich nature and beautiful sea. You can access it by boat, where you can enjoy an extraordinary experience that can only be had on an uninhabited island. This is a highly recommended place for those who want to have a special adventure while sightseeing in Wakayama! #0yentravelNovember #Wakayama

Tomogashima is a war heritage island located between Wakayama Prefecture and Awaji Island. This small island, which can be explored in a day, is home to the former Japanese military's 1st to 5th artillery batteries, ammunition depot, barracks, lighthouse, and other remains, some of which can be visited. It has become a popular spot in recent years because of its Laputa-like ruins, but it seems to have been attracting attention recently as a sacred place for the anime "Summertime Render." Anyway, as a war heritage island, the remains are in fairly good condition, and in a sense, it even feels raw. Of course, the cannons and weapons were dismantled after the war and sunk to the bottom of the sea under the guidance of the US military, and there is no trace of them now... In the past, many young people were sent to this place to fight in the war. It's a sobering thought to think they were fighting on the front lines... (It seems that the cannons were not used in actual battles.) The Tomogashima ferry takes about 20 minutes from Kada Port on the western edge of Wakayama to Nonaura Port on Tomogashima. When you arrive at the port, there is a cafe terrace, a plaza, and an information center. At the information center, you can get a map, advice on how to get around efficiently, and if you want to go to the "Akai Monument" located almost at the eastern end of the island, you must apply for a pass here. The "Akai Monument" is a remnant of the time when mountaineering and asceticism flourished, and there is only a small stone there. So, if you are not interested in such things, it's not fun to go, it's just hot! I was told that. It takes about an hour and a half just one way, so it is recommended for those who have a lot of energy, time, and curiosity. #tripdomestictravel #wakayamaprefecture #spectacularview #warrelics

Tomogashima is a group of uninhabited islands located exactly halfway between Kada in Wakayama City and Awaji Island. It is dotted with ruins that are said to be "like an anime world," and is highly popular among ruin lovers and anime fans. It takes about 20 minutes to arrive from the ferry terminal at Kada Port. By the way, the number of ferries operating is about 6 times a day at peak times. Kada is about 90 minutes by train from the center of Osaka, making it a tourist destination with excellent access. It takes about 20 minutes from Kada to Tomogashima, so you can arrive from Osaka to Tomogashima in about 2 hours. It is also famous as a filming location for the popular anime Summertime Render!! Let's go and check it out ^ ^ #trip #solotravel #wakayamatrip #japan #japan

Tomogashima is an uninhabited island located in Wakayama Prefecture, a mysterious spot with untouched nature and historical heritage. In particular, the remains of artillery batteries used during World War II are scattered here and there, creating an atmosphere as if you have wandered into the world of the Ghibli movie "Castle in the Sky." In autumn, you can enjoy hiking and strolling around the island while feeling the cool sea breeze, and the extraordinary scenery unfolds. This is a particularly recommended place for history lovers and photography enthusiasts. ◇Access About 20 minutes by ferry from Kada Port in Wakayama Prefecture #0 yen travel autumn #Wakayama #Tomogashima #uninhabited island #Laputa's island #autumn scenery #historical heritage #photo spot

This is "Tomogashima", one of the remote islands in Wakayama Prefecture. It's a mysterious tourist destination that looks like a place from a movie. Access is not as difficult as other remote islands, and it takes about an hour from Osaka city. It is a 20-minute boat ride (about 2,000 yen round trip) from Kada Port in Wakayama Prefecture. There are not many shops on the island, so it's more like a hike in a beautiful landscape. It takes about 1-2 hours to go around the island, but the scenery is beautiful everywhere, so you can get around in no time. There are many places to take photos, so I think people of all ages can enjoy it. It's an island with a long history, so I think it will be even more enjoyable if you study it before visiting. #WakayamaPrefecture #Tomogashima #RecommendedForDates #Kansai

Tomogashima Kisen is a ferry that you take to Tomogashima, famous for Laputa Island. A round trip ticket costs 2,200 yen for adults. The shop sells disposable cameras, which I think a lot of people will want to buy. The boarding area has a slightly retro feel and is very photogenic. By the way, the ship that appears in the anime "Summertime Render," which is set in Tomogashima, looks just like this one, so be sure to check it out when you watch the anime. #domestictrip #wakayama #wakayamatourism #wakayamatrip

Tomogashima is a group of uninhabited islands located exactly halfway between Kada in Wakayama City and Awaji Island! Fortresses and cannons used in war remain on this island, making it feel like a world straight out of an anime or movie. ✨ It has been in use since the Meiji era, and was off-limits to the public until the end of World War II. It really has been left as it is, so you can really feel the passage of time...! The sea was really beautiful, probably because it hadn't been touched by humans for so many years. It seems you can also camp on the beach. 🏕️ Camping here sounds like a good idea! I'd like to try it someday!! Many parts of the island have no transportation, let alone stairs, and some roads are not well-maintained, so elderly people and those who are not confident in their physical strength may want to be careful. 🗺️ Tomogashima 📍 〒640-0102 Miyama, Wakayama City, Wakayama Prefecture 🚃Nankai Railway Kada Line Kada Station →🚢Kada Port Tomogashima Line, about 20 minutes 💰 Adult round trip 2200 yen Thank you for reading to the end🙆♀️ I plan to post travel information and recommended spots both in Japan and abroad, so please follow and like if you like! #Kinki Tourism #Travel with Me #Tomogashima #Kansai Trip #Wakayama Trip

Tomogashima is a group of uninhabited islands off the coast of Wakayama, consisting of Jinoshima, Torashima, and Okinoshima. It is part of the Seto Inland Sea National Park. The main island, Okinoshima, is a popular spot for local excursions, picnics, and camping. However, the reason that attracts tourists to make a special trip here lies hidden in the forests: the red-brick military ruins. During World War II, Tomogashima served as a defensive fortress for Osaka Bay. After the war, as the military withdrew, it gradually became an uninhabited island ruin. To this day, it still retains abandoned military relics, including the remains of five gun batteries, ammunition warehouses, and soldiers' barracks. Some of the structures that are safe can be freely visited, naturally attracting military enthusiasts from home and abroad to make a pilgrimage. However, because the facilities are covered by forests, the red-brick structures are dilapidated, and overgrown with weeds, the photos taken are strikingly similar to Laputa from the anime master Hayao Miyazaki's 'Castle in the Sky', thus gradually becoming the most famous check-in hotspot in Wakayama City. To go to Tomogashima, one can take a ferry from Kada for about 20 minutes to reach the island. On the island, there are campsites at Minamitarui Square, Kitatarui Square, and Ikejiri Square. However, those who are not camping should pay attention to the ferry schedule. The last ferry from Tomogashima usually departs at 4:30 p.m. If you miss it, you will have to stay on the island all night. Be sure to check the ferry schedule before boarding the island.

Tomoshima is located in Wakayama City, Kansai. You need to take a boat to get there. There are three boats a day, and the journey takes about 30 minutes. When you arrive, you will see that there are almost no man-made buildings. It takes 30 minutes to walk to the ruins of the third turret group. The first time you see it, it feels like you have arrived at the scene of the city in the sky. In addition to the buildings on the surface, there are many tunnels underground, which is very exciting, and there will be gusts of cool breeze blowing in the distance. #友島
