Our ferries have various types of rooms from the inexpensive “Tourist Class” type to “Suites” like the room of luxury hotel, which we can manage requirements of the passengers.
We operate 2 sailings from both ports every day. The 1st sailing departs in early evening and arrives in very early morning next day and the 2nd sailing departs in night and arrives in the next morning.
You can choose the sailing considering your travel plan.
Of course, the public facilities in the ferry like a restaurant, a viewing lounge and wi-fi are available, these will be your good company for your trip.
Travels in Japan are not only by rail and bus, we strongly recommend you to enjoy Country of Sea – Japan by the comfortable large-sized luxury ferry.
The ferry departing from Shin-Moji Port at 17:00 will be canceled due to statutory inspection.
