The maritime route connecting Wakayama on the Kii Peninsula with Tokushima on Shikoku Island serves diverse purposes including tourism, business travel, and family visits. Overland routes require traveling through urban areas around Osaka, making traffic congestion and long-distance driving fatigue unavoidable. However, utilizing the sea route liberates travelers from these land-specific stresses while ensuring comfortable travel time.
Challenges of Overland Travel and Benefits of Maritime Routes
Challenges of Highway Travel
When traveling overland between Wakayama and Tokushima, the typical route follows the Osaka Bay coastline northward through Kobe, crossing the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge, Awaji Island, and the Onaruto Bridge. This journey spans approximately 200 to 250 kilometers with substantial expressway tolls.
Even when traveling from the Kansai region toward Shikoku, passing through the urban centers of Osaka and Kobe remains necessary. During weekday commute hours, weekends, and holiday periods, severe congestion occurs. Near exits on the Hanshin and Meishin Expressways, traffic signals on surface streets regularly cause backups extending several kilometers onto the main expressway lanes, frequently delaying arrival times significantly.
Additionally, the Akashi Kaikyo and Onaruto bridges implement traffic restrictions during strong winds, particularly during typhoon season and winter when seasonal winds intensify, potentially disrupting planned travel. Expressway tolls from the Osaka area to Tokushima commonly exceed 5,000 yen one way for standard vehicles, with round trips surpassing 10,000 yen in transportation costs.
Physical and Mental Burden on Drivers
Long-distance driving imposes substantial physical and mental burdens on drivers. Operating vehicles through unfamiliar expressways and high-traffic urban areas demands constant concentration, accumulating fatigue. Driving exhaustion affects post-arrival activities, diminishing the quality of sightseeing and business engagements.
For family trips, only the driver experiences fatigue while passengers often find themselves with idle time during transit. Concentration demands prevent drivers from enjoying roadside scenery, transforming the journey itself into merely a “burden.”
Benefits Provided by Maritime Routes
Nankai Ferry resolves these land-route challenges comprehensively. The impressive operational reliability rate exceeding 99 percent eliminates congestion concerns while ensuring reliable arrival at destinations. Travel time of approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes compares similarly to highway travel, but the quality differs dramatically.
Liberation from driving allows everyone to spend travel time freely—the greatest attraction. Watching the sea from decks, resting horizontally in cabin spaces, or enjoying conversations with family and friends transforms travel time itself into part of the journey’s memories.
For travelers from the Kansai region heading to Shikoku, reaching Wakayama Port via Nankai Electric Railway in approximately 60 minutes provides significant convenience. Direct access from Osaka Namba Station enables those without cars to enjoy Shikoku travel easily. Upon arrival, buses and trains from Tokushima City provide access throughout Shikoku, while bringing vehicles enables highly flexible travel plans.
Economic Advantages
Cost-effectiveness varies depending on group size and travel style. For solo travelers or small groups of around two people, particularly those without vehicles, Nankai Ferry proves highly economical. The adult one-way walk-on fare of 2,500 yen offers competitive pricing compared to highway buses and trains, with excellent cost performance considering comfort levels.
When bringing vehicles, the boarding fee includes one driver, with total cost comprising this plus additional passenger fares. For four-person families, round trips cost approximately 30,000 yen, which compared to expressway tolls (around 10,000 yen round trip) plus fuel makes highway travel cheaper in pure monetary terms.
However, ferry utilization offers value beyond pricing. Absence of driving fatigue enables immediate commencement of sightseeing and activities upon arrival, maximizing first-day effectiveness. Travel time itself becomes enjoyable as a sea voyage, particularly for families with children who create memories watching the sea from decks and exploring the ship interior. Considering time and energy conservation, total value proves sufficiently high.
Environmentally Conscious Ferry Utilization
CO2 Emissions Comparison
When multiple people travel together, using ferries rather than individual automobiles can reduce per-person CO2 emissions. Environmentally conscious corporations and organizations increasingly adopt ferries as transportation options.
Contribution to Congestion Mitigation
Reducing highway traffic volumes contributes to road congestion relief. During holiday periods and homecoming seasons, ferry utilization provides measurable effects on distributing highway traffic.

Former Long-Distance Ferry Routes from Wakayama Prefecture
Tokyo-Nachikatsuura-Kochi Route (Discontinued)
A long-distance ferry route once connected Nachikatsuura Port in Wakayama Prefecture with Tokyo, operated by Blue Highway Line. The “Tokyo-Nachikatsuura-Kochi Route” began operations in 1973, with vessels including “Sunflower 5,” “Sunflower 8 (later Sunflower Tosa),” and “Sunflower Kuroshio.”
During the 1990s, Japan Coastal Ferry then Blue Highway Line operated this important maritime corridor connecting Tokyo with the southern Kii Peninsula and Shikoku. However, expanded expressway networks and increased air service reduced ridership. Annual losses of 500-600 million yen continued despite support from Kochi and Wakayama prefectures, leading to route discontinuation at the end of September 2001.
This route served Tokyo-to-southern Kii Peninsula and Shikoku travelers for many years, but no replacement direct ferry route currently exists.
