The boat may arrive at Shikinejima (Ashitsuki) Port instead. From Oct 9 to Oct 28, 2026, Tokai Kisen is running a substitute timetable (using the Kuroshio Maru, Ogasawara Maru and Seven Island Tairyo) because some of its vessels (Tachibana Maru, Seven Island Yui and Seven Island Tomo) are under an order suspending their use.
