Sekiheki Red Cliff: Nature's Masterpiece

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving, start from the main town of Saikai on the Oki Islands. Take Route 9 heading toward Nishinoshima. Continue on Route 9 for about 30 minutes until you reach the town of Chibu. Once in Chibu, follow the signs toward '仁夫' (Nio) and take the local roads. The Sekiheki Red Cliff is located in Nio, approximately 5 minutes from the center of Chibu. Look for parking spaces nearby, as they are available but may fill up quickly during peak tourist seasons.

• Public Transportation

  For those using public transportation, start by taking a ferry from the mainland to Oki Islands. Once you arrive at the Oki Islands, take a bus from the ferry terminal to the town of Chibu. The bus ride takes about 45 minutes. From Chibu, you can either take a local taxi or walk to Nio, which is about 2 kilometers away. If you choose to walk, follow the main road signs toward '仁夫' (Nio) and enjoy the scenic views along the way. The total cost for the bus from the ferry to Chibu is approximately 600 yen.

• Taxi

  If you prefer a more convenient option, you can take a taxi from the ferry terminal directly to Sekiheki Red Cliff. This option is quicker and will take around 30 minutes. The cost for a taxi ride from the ferry terminal in Chibu to Sekiheki Red Cliff may vary but expect to pay around 3,000 to 4,000 yen, depending on traffic and time of day.
