Hi. We love travelling by ferry especially in Japan. We have just over 2 weeks from Tokyo in September and would like to ferry down to Shikoku (anyone know how to contact the ferry co. in English?) and hire a car and drive around there, Iya Valley etc.
Any info on great (but cheap under $100 couple) places to stay, eat and visit most welcome.

Tommmo,
The Ocean Tokyu Ferry would be the one to catch

Thanks and Aloha
I'm having a hard time trying to email to Ocean Tokyu Ferry - no english spoken on the phone no.Any advice welcome (or, we can take our chances on arrival I guess )
We've been to Japan 3 times and found Toyoko Inns great and used Tocoo cars twice too - good advice!
The plan is to ferry to Shikoku and hire a car to explore Iya Valley etc. Last visit we ferried to Kyushu from Osaka and enjoyed that hugely.
Ok, I rang Tokyo Ocean Ferry and made a booking by email. Thank you.
