What Wikivoyage says about moving around

- Get in There are numerous ferries that run to Shikoku that can be taken from major cities like Kobe and Hiroshima.
- Get in Setouchi Naikai Kisen and Ishizaki Kisen run both high-speed (¥8,000, 70 minutes) and regular ferries (¥5,000, 2.5 hours) from Hiroshima to Matsuyama.
- Get in To save some money and correspondingly 20 and 45 minutes at sea, travel by Kure Line train to/from the town of Kure (this won't shorten your voyage from Hiroshima overall); both ferries make a stop there both ways, and the port is about 10-minute walk from the station.
