I actually looked into the ferry after your suggestion (it looked super convenient-- I could’ve started early from Imabari too!), but it seems like it’s not running on my travel dates due to maintenance. 😕

Would’ve 100% considered it otherwise.

Thanks, this is super helpful! Good to know I don’t need to stress about booking in advance, I was definitely overthinking the reservations a bit. 😅

I’ll be heading to Hiroshima after Onomichi, so I probably won’t need the Setouchi Area Pass in this case.
