Le Soléal in Uno: the day sheet

Sat, 8 May 2027, 06:00–22:00 (16 h in port), at First Pier (expected; not yet on the prefecture list). Off the ship from 06:30, back at the gangway by 20:30. Print it or save it before you lose the ship's Wi-Fi.

At the pier, before you set off

The terminalNone. The prefecture's spec sheet lists no terminal building, no rain shelter, no kiosk and no gangway building; there are toilets on the quay. Immigration is done on board.
Cash and ATMsNo exchange or ATM is listed at the berth. Carry yen for the ferry (¥370) and the Naoshima town bus, which takes coins only. Korakuen takes cards, IC cards and QR payments.
Wi-Fi and dataOkayama Free Wi-Fi covers the Chikko waterfront outdoors; it needs an e-mail or SNS log-in. An eSIM bought before sailing is simpler.
Steps and slopesThe walk from the berth to the station and the ferry piers is flat, along the quay. On Naoshima, the museum area has hills; the town bus and the free shuttle cover it.
