Q&A About the Ship

What is the difference between Hankyu Ferry 'Settsu' and 'Yamato'? toggle icon


The difference between ‘Settsu’ and ‘Yamato’ is the design of the interior.
The concept is the same: “A healing journey overlooking the starry sky and the sea.”
Settsu is apricot-toned, while Yamato is wine-red-toned.

It is common for two ships to be built simultaneously during the launch of a ferry, and these ships are called sister ships.
The only difference between Hankyu Ferry’s ‘Settsu’ and ‘Yamato’ is the color scheme inside; all other facilities and room arrangements are exactly the same.

Experience and Feedback from the Ferry Ride

Hankyu Ferry Settsu - Eating Breakfast at the Restaurant

I boarded the Hankyu Ferry “Settsu” from Shin-Moji Port to Kobe Port.

Since the Hankyu Ferry sails through the Seto Inland Sea, the waters are calm, and I had no worries about seasickness, allowing me to enjoy the meal peacefully.

It was such a pleasant moment enjoying the meal while gazing at the calm sea.

Hankyu Ferry's Original Wine

I stopped by the shop on board and found that Hankyu Ferry’s original wine was being sold.

This wine is produced by Eigasima Shuzo, and I bought two bottles as souvenirs.

If you’re a fan of alcohol, definitely visit the shop. Highly recommended!

Advantages and Disadvantages

メリット
Delicious meals at the onboard restaurant
Good access from urban areas thanks to the shuttle bus
Cheap fares if you use web discounts
Free Wi-Fi available
Affordable considering the combined cost of accommodation and travel
デメリット
Takes longer than traveling by plane
Shuttle bus to the port from Kokura Station is free, but the buses to Kobe and Izumi-Otsu are paid
In winter, it gets dark early and the sunrise is late, so if you take an evening ferry, you can't enjoy the view from the ship
Fares are on the higher side because they include accommodation
