On a boat
The boat is the natural way to travel there. There are many services, most of them over short distances; more details on the page of each destination.
By car
After spending 500 billion for its construction, the Seto Inland Sea is now crossed by no less than 3 stupendously huge bridges. From east to west:
- the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, with the longest center span in the world (1 191 m), Between Akashi (off Kobe, Honsho) and Awaji ;
- the Seto-Ohashi bridge, a set of six bridges connecting Okayama (Honshū) to Kagawa (Shikoku);
- the Shimanami Kaidō bridge, of Hiroshima (Honshō) to Ehime (Shikoku)
By train
The only rail link crossing the Inland Sea is through the Seto-Ohashi Bridge, running from Okayama To Takamatsu then continuing after that. Services are fast and frequent, although no Shinkansen trains pass there.
Do
- Shimanami Kaidō Bike Path (し ま な み 海道) – A route of 70 km in the prefectures of Hiroshima and of Ehime allowing to reach several islands of the Seto Inland Sea.
