You’ll only be able to access the Floating Empire after you’re asked to visit it in the story. During the main storyline in Rune Factory 4 you’ll be able to head to the Floating Empire boarding the airship parked along Selphia: Airship Way.

To get to the airship, you’ll need to head north from the Castle. This means going through the path to the north from your farm.

You’ll find the airship right next to the telecommunicator stationed along Selphia: Airship Way.

This is in between Porcoline’s Kitchen and the Bell Hotel.

Once you board the ship, interact with the helm by Arthur and select the option to visit the Floating Empire.

Once you’ve made it to the Floating Empire for the first time, use the journal in the upper left corner of the first area: the Floating Empire – Front.

Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to teleport to this location using any of the telecommunicators scattered around the world. One of these telecommunicators is right above your farm!
