Tourist Information Site
The local tourist association has a multilingual guide site.

Get in
Kintetsu Railway's Toba Line links Shima to Ise via Toba. Local trains and Limited Express trains are available (stopping at every station). Buses from Ugata Station (鵜方駅) provide access to other areas of Shima. The last station on the line is Kashikojima (賢島).

Get around
The best way to get around Shima is by bus or by taxi. Both can add up in the end, but there is also a car rental right next to Ugata Station. But depending on what you want to do the bus is probably the easiest and cheapest.
