A ferry with spectacular views and a multifunctional cabin! Travel comfortably from Hiroshima/Kure to Matsuyama

This cruise ferry connects Hiroshima, Kure, and Matsuyama in approximately two and a half hours. A variety of seating options are available on board, including panoramic sofas with views of the scenery ahead, deep reclining seats, and areas where you can take off your shoes and relax. Highly practical, the counter seats by the windows are equipped with power outlets, allowing you to efficiently work on your PC or charge your smartphone while watching the islands pass by.
The onboard shop sells drinks made with Setouchi lemons and original snacks, which you can take out to your favorite seat or the outdoor deck to enjoy local flavors. The rooftop "Shine Deck" is an open area with artificial turf, a gazebo, and benches. From here, you can get a close-up view of the towering cranes at Kure's shipyard and the large ships under construction, offering a spectacular view unique to this route. Another great attraction is being able to enjoy the changing faces of the Seto Inland Sea depending on the time of day, such as the way the sea surface turns orange in the evening, or the night view of the harbor lights sparkling on the water's surface.
This is a comfortable space where you can fully enjoy traveling along the Seto Inland Sea while taking in the dynamic views from the water and fully equipped facilities.
