Kure to Matsuyama

2 operators run this water, from 1 h 05 to 1 h 57 — a difference of 52 min on the same crossing. Matsuyama has an airport 5 km from the quay, so this is a crossing you can make one way and fly the other.

Every way across

One row per operator and speed. Where a service is sold as fast and its average does not clear 45 km/h, the word appears in quotation marks — the boat is fast craft, the crossing is not.

Setonaikai Kisen Kure → Matsuyama 42 km fast crossing 1 h 05 "fast" 3× daily 39 km/h average
Setonaikai Kisen Car Ferry Kure → Matsuyama 42 km conventional crossing 1 h 57 8× daily 22 km/h average

Other ways to reach Matsuyama

Which months this runs

Season not heldwe can say when we looked, not which months run

Our records for the Kure–Matsuyama crossing were read on 11 August 2026 and describe the network as it ran that week. We hold no month-by-month variation, so this page cannot tell you whether a crossing runs in February.

If you are travelling well outside August 2026, confirm with the operator before you plan around it.

What we do not know

No fares. The choice between Setonaikai Kisen at 1 h 05 and Setonaikai Kisen Car Ferry at 1 h 57 is mostly a price decision, and we hold no prices for either.

No departure times. A weekly rate is a lower bound on how often the crossing runs — never a clock.
