There was a difference in opinion between the technical advisor and the management of the saltworks.

As usual, this article is written without any consideration for others. The day before the full moon, I prayed fervently to meet a key person involved in salt production, and the next day, that person appeared at the guesthouse where I was staying. The following day, he drove me to the port to take me to the island.

Location of Ushima

There is only one port on the mainland side: Murotsumi Port. There is no bus stop nearby, so you will need to walk for about 10 minutes.

The number of buses does not match the port’s departure and arrival times, so you will need to allow plenty of time.

Also, the bus stop had no roof, only a standing sign, so I couldn’t find it at first. Google Maps often shows the location of bus stops incorrectly… I asked some male workers who were walking nearby and they told me where it was.
