In 2026, morning ferries departing from Motobu Port were extremely crowded from May 2 to May 5, so capacity was managed using numbered tickets.

Numbered tickets are distributed at Motobu Port from around 7:30 a.m., and notices indicate that passengers may be unable to board if the relevant ferry is full.

If your travel to the island falls during this period, check in advance which outbound and return ferries are affected and where numbered tickets are distributed.
