The easiest way to get around on the Oki Islands is by car, but most major sights and attractions are accessible by bus. Though, travelers will have to rely on single tickets or a prepaid card, since no special bus passes are provided within this area.

If you decide to rent a car, it is advised to do so from one of the bigger cities on the mainland and hop on a car ferry. You can check-out our listings for car rentals, in the FAQ menu below.
