The Sado Island local government in cooperation with Niigata Kotsu Sado and the Sado Tourist Association have expanded bus routes to reach many of the island's tourist spots. These new routes will go through a trial phase between July 1 & November 30 on weekends and national holidays. We hope you'll use this service to visit the Sado Island Taiko Centre, and take advantage of the additional routes during Earth Celebration as well.
Bus Fare: (Ogi Port – Sado Island Taiko Centre) One-way 290 yen, not included in workshop fee
Times may be slightly earlier or later than listed.
The route from Ogi Port to the Sado Island Taiko Centre goes through Kotoura and Shukunegi to Sawasaki and then returns back along the same route.
For visitors using the ferry between Niigata and Ryotsu, please take a bus to Ogi Port and transfer there.
