How to get to Aharen Beach
Aharen Beach is a 15-minute drive away from Tokashiki Port. In the case of a day trip, the stay time is short, so using a local bus is common.
[memo title=”MEMO”]It takes about an hour on foot, but we are concerned wild boars sometimes have been seen from 2017. You may think going by a bicycle is speedy than walking, but we don’t recommended it because there is steep slopes on the way.
As of August 2023, there is no taxi in the island . If you miss a return bus to Tokashiki Port, there is no way to go back to the port anymore. That’s why please don’t miss the bus.
There are no local bus between Aharen Beach and Tokashiku Beach. If you want to go both, please rent a car or a motorbike.[/memo]
