Second-class priority seating on the 4th floor (Tachibana Maru)
Wheelchair-accessible restroom (Tachibana Maru)
Accessibility Information
The large passenger ship that services Miyakejima is mainly the Tachibana Maru, but sometimes the Sarubia Maru does as well. Both ships are designed to be barrier-free, with elevators from the boarding floor to the upper floors.
There is a wheelchair-accessible restroom on the fourth floor, i.e. the boarding floor. Wheelchair users are given priority seating upon request at the time of booking. The ramp at the Port of Tokyo is a sloping surface, but the ramp at Miyakejima is stairs, so wheelchair users must be assisted by staff to get on and off the ship.
Please check Tokai Kisen’s website at the address below for information on the barrier-free accessibility of the ship.
