There are two routes to the island, one is from Kumamoto to the island's original outer port passenger ship, and the other is from the Sapporo land bus or train. We chose to transfer from Nagasaki JR to Sapporo and then transfer to the private rail. The station is about one kilometer from the original city of the island. The thick city wall is surrounded by the moat. There is only a bridge that can lead to the city. You need to buy tickets to visit the Tianshou Pavilion. There is a Samurai staff at the door to take a photo with us. There is a shop selling souvenirs and light meals opposite the Tianshou Pavilion.
