Welcome to Sado Island!

So please be careful of the traffic and enjoy the spectacular ride!

Stay: There are hotels, ryokan, and hostels. Especially it's easy to find inns in these areas; Ryotsu, Matsugasaki, Akadomari, Ogi, Mano, Sawata, Aikawa.

Camping: There are good camp grounds along the way but most of them are operating only in summer season.

Camp grounds are in; Matsugasaki, Sobama beach, Kubota, Nyuzaki, Futatsugame.

Food: There are supermarkets and restaurants in the larger towns such as Ryotsu,Ogi, Hamochi, Mano, Sawata, Aikawa. But in other small villages along the coast, there are less options and the shops close quite earlier. Please be prepared for it.
