we do not have good public transportation system in Sado . So, I recommend you to charter a Taxi or a jumbo Taxi to save time .
If you have an international driver's license, rental car is another option. That will save the budget.
My wife and I spent an enjoyable day on Sado Island with Kei. The weather was great and the Cherry trees were in full bloom. The island was beautiful. The tour was not limited to facts, figures and dates. Being from the island, Kei’s familiarity with the plants, animals and historical sites gave us an insider’s perspective. We took the Jet Foil from Niigata to Ryotsu. Stayed overnight on Sado Island and began our tour in the morning. Our tour began about 8AM and we finished at the ferry terminal in Ryotsu. Kei speaks excellent English and is very flexible and likeable. We did not feel rushed. If you are looking for a guide for Sado Island, we highly recommend Kei.
