直島と、高松港や宇野港とをフェリーの行き来する際に重要となるフェリーターミナルです。フェリーへの乗船チケットの購入と、目的のフェリーに乗るまでの待合スペースのみがあるだけでなく、カフェや土産物店も併設しています。待合スペースは屋外にもありますが、屋内にもあるため、日差しが強かったり悪天候の日等は屋内でのんびり過ごすのもいいでしょう。直島を周遊するためのバス停やタクシー乗り場は勿論、道路を挟んで向かい側にはレンタサイクルの店舗があるため、直島観光の拠点としてうってつけの場所と言えます。
様々な施設が一つの建物内にありますが、それぞれの施設が分かりやすく仕切られているわけではありません。また複数箇所の外との出入口があります。建物は決して広いわけではありませんが、通路の造りなどが少し複雑なところがあり、小さな子供は迷子になりやすい可能性があることに注意が必要です。
フェリーの乗船券（特に往復券）を、高松港や宇野港で購入していればほとんど気になることはありませんが、このターミナルでチケットを購入する場合、スタッフの対応が素っ気ないように感じるかもしれません。基本的に自分たちから積極的に関わろう・案内しようという雰囲気ではなく、終始事務的な対応です。それはそれと割り切って、直島の詳細な情報を得るには、観光案内所を利用した方がいいかもしれません。
This ferry terminal is important for ferry traffic between Naoshima and the ports of Takamatsu and Uno. Not only is there a waiting area where you can purchase tickets and wait to board your desired ferry, there is also a cafe and souvenir store. There is an outdoor waiting area as well as an indoor waiting area, so on days when the sun is shining or the weather is bad, it is a good idea to relax indoors. With a bus stop and cab stand for getting around Naoshima, as well as a bicycle rental store across the street, this is a good base for sightseeing on Naoshima.
Various facilities are located in one building, but they are not clearly separated from each other. There are multiple entrances and exits. The building is not large, but some of the passageways are a bit complicated, and small children may easily get lost.
If you have purchased your ferry tickets (especially round-trip tickets) at Takamatsu or Uno ports, you should have little trouble finding your way around, but if you purchase your tickets at this terminal, you may find the staff to be unfriendly and unhelpful. Basically, the staff is not in an atmosphere of actively trying to get involved or guide you, but is rather clerical from start to finish. If you want to get detailed information about Naoshima, you may want to use the Tourist Information Center.

This is the ferry terminal at Miyanoura Port on the west coast of Naoshima. It serves the mainland and a couple of other islands.The bus station is also here where you can catch buses to various parts of the island and the different Art Museums.

This is a large ferry that takes you to Naoshima, an amazing island. The ferry has a large deck where you can see the coming of Contemporary art. If you love art, you will love gong to Naoshima.

This was an exceptional visit. It takes some time to get there, but once there, it is just a magical island of art and expression. Take your time between the different activities: bath house, ocean, museums, and Art House Project. Give yourself at least 2 days to see it.

The contrast between the national park surrounding Benesse House's museum and hotel sites, the quiet timelessness of the narrow streets and traditional houses of Honmura, the startling juxtaposition of the glass staircase - viewed both above ground and in the narrow underground rock chamber beneath Go'o Shrine - these and other factors allow one to centre oneself away from the busy life we lead.
