Minna Port is the pier beside Minna Beach on Minna-jima, where Minna Kaiun's boat from Toguchi in Motobu lands after 15 minutes. From November to March it makes three round trips a day, and the last boat back to Motobu leaves at 16:30.
Minna Kaiun calls Minna a very small island, and its boat docks right beside Minna Beach, as the company's own photo caption shows. From 1 November to 31 March the boat leaves Minna at 9:30, 13:30 and 16:30, half an hour after each arrival from Toguchi. Between April and October the timetable grows to four or more sailings a day.

Weather and cancellations

Worth knowing
- Tarama village has its own Minna-jima with a harbour of the same Japanese name, so search for Motobu's Minna when you look up maps or weather.
