What Wikivoyage says about moving around
  • Get inIf you're coming from Nagasaki, the ferry may be preferable.
  • Get inOne ferry route involves travelling via Shimabara.
  • Get inTwo ferries depart towards Kumamoto from different ports along this line but the most convenient is likely the one from Shimabara Port direct to Kumamoto Port.
  • Get inIncidentally, the final Kumamoto-bound ferries depart daily at 20:00, but one of the trains to Shimabara arrives a few minutes after that so don't get caught out.
  • Go nextAmakusa, a chain of islands off the west coast of Kumamoto, and not far from the south coast of Nagasaki (to which ferries run regularly).
