Tips for getting around the Seto Inland Sea

On the occasion of the major contemporary art event, the Setouchi Triennale, visitors and art enthusiasts will have to sail between the different islands of the Seto Inland Sea to visit the works. To get to the various exhibition sites, you will have to take a boat to cross the channel. Fortunately, the public transportation network between the islands is well developed and reinforced during the Triennale. A little guide to make your life easier!
