Tonaki Island Ferry: 2026 Timetable, Fares, Booking and Day-Trip Conditions
The ferry from Tomari Port in Naha to Tonaki Port takes 1 hr 55 min. Whether a day trip from Naha is possible depends on whether the same day's afternoon Kume Island–Naha service calls at Tonaki Port.

Ferry booking
Services calling at Tonaki Island
Only services with published arrival and departure times at Tonaki Port are shown. A dated dock or special timetable takes priority over the regular and seasonal timetables. The timetable on this page has been checked through March 31, 2027. For April 2027 onward, confirm afternoon calls and same-day return options with Kume Shosen before booking.
| Service | Operating condition | Origin | Tonaki Port | Destination |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Outbound service 1 | Daily | Tomari Port 09:00 dep. | 10:55 arr. / 11:10 dep. | Kanegusuku Port, Kume Island 12:30 arr. |
| Return service 1 | Daily | Kanegusuku Port, Kume Island 09:00 dep. | 10:20 arr. / 10:35 dep. | Tomari Port 12:30 arr. |
Service 2 is a direct service when the official timetable does not list Tonaki Port times, so it cannot be used to board or disembark at Tonaki Island. Regular service 2 does not operate on Mondays.
Day trip from Naha or overnight stay
A day trip is possible on days when the 09:00 departure from Naha arrives at Tonaki at 10:55 and the same day's 15:35 Naha-bound service calls at Tonaki Port. The interval from arrival at the port to return departure is 4 hr 40 min.
Boarding must be completed 15 minutes before departure, leaving 4 hr 25 min from arrival at the port to the boarding-completion deadline. Actual sightseeing time is shorter after allowing for travel on the island and the return to the port.
From November 1 through March 31, the regular timetable has no afternoon Naha-bound service calling at Tonaki Port, so a day trip from Naha is not possible. Check the official notice for any temporary or special timetable.
On days when a same-day return is not possible under the regular timetable, travelers from Naha need to stay at least one night. Book one of the three properties listed by the tourism association in advance by calling the property directly; same-day reservations are not accepted.
