The easiest way to get around in Naruto is either by car or public transportation, since the major sights and attractions are easily accessible. Though, travelers will have to rely on single tickets or a prepaid card, since no special train or bus passes are provided within this area.

 

Travelers who come by public transportation can choose between bus and train options from Osaka, which is the closest major city to Naruto.

• By bus: multiple companies operate hourly highway buses between Osaka Station and Tokushima Station. These buses stop at Naruto Park and the Kosoku Naruto bus stop. The bus journey takes about 2 hours. From the Kosoku Naruto bus stop, it's a short walk and a subsequent local bus ride to Naruto Park, taking about 20 minutes​​.

• By train: travelers can take a train from Shin-Osaka Station, first boarding a Sakura train on the JR Sanyo Shinkansen to Okayama (about 45 minutes), then transferring to the JR Marine Liner to Takamatsu (1 hour). From Takamatsu, the JR "Uzushio" limited express takes them to Ikenotani (1 hour), followed by a change to the JR Naruto Line to Naruto Station (20 minutes). From Naruto Station, there's a regular city bus service to Naruto Park, taking approximately 20 minutes​​.
