[Features]
We promise an elegant cruise through the Seto Inland Sea, spotted with numerous islands and often reffered to as the "Mediterranean of Japan" with our large car ferry boasting a capacity of 716 passengers and 75 cars.
To prepare for the overnight cruise, the ferry is made to be a "Moving Ocean Hotel", equipped with both private and shared cabins, an oceanview restaurant, an oceanview bath, shops, game rooms and facilities for pets. The ferry is also equipped with Japan's first pet friendly standard room, where you can stay and enjoy a confortable cruise with your beloved family member.
The cruise is not only a luxurious way to spend a long journey, but also is an useful alternative to flights and land transports. We look forward serving you on this historic route opened in 1970.
