The lobby was open and spacious, with an atrium running from the center of the fifth floor to the top seven floors.
There is also a large TV.
Free Wi-Fi on board is available in the lobby. If you need internet access, please head to the lobby.

There is an elevator in the center of each floor.
Barrier-free ramps are available so that people in wheelchairs can easily move to each floor.

A wide range of souvenirs and snacks from Kansai and Kyushu were available, as well as beverages and daily necessities.
Many amenity goods such as towels, slippers, shampoo, and razors are also available for purchase, so don’t worry if you couldn’t prepare shower goods in advance.
Be sure to check out the original goods available only on board.

The promenade is located on the 6th floor next to the restaurant.
There are many windows so you can see the view outside during the voyage!

There are chairs and desks on the promenade, so there were many people eating their lunch or other food they brought.

The game corner had several crane game machines and slot machines.
It is nice to have a little place to play even on a ship that tends to be boring.

The game corner can be accessed at any time from the time of embarkation until the ship enters port.

There was also a place for children to play.
The kids’ room has a slide and a TV showing cartoons.

It is located in front of the lobby, so parents can sit in the lobby and watch their children.
The kids’ corner can be accessed at any time from the time of embarkation until the ship arrives in port.

There are two men’s and two women’s restrooms on the 5th and 6th floors, respectively, and one on the 7th floor.
The restrooms were very clean and neat.

There was a large diaper changing table for babies in the multipurpose restroom on the 5th floor.
It is spacious enough to move around in a wheelchair.

There are two smoking areas, one each on the 5th and 6th floors, and one on the 7th floor.

There were two curved poles to sit on for a bit.

The maximum temperature of the water heater available in the hot water room was 90 degrees.
There was also a water dispenser.
There are also paper cups provided, so if you get thirsty, you can come to the hot water room to quench your thirst!

In addition to beverages, vending machines offered cup noodles and ice cream.
The vending machine corner was also equipped with a machine for charging smartphones and a microwave oven for heating food.

This is a great way to heat up lunch boxes, bread, and other food.

Incidentally, there was also a vending machine exclusively for alcohol! (mostly beer).

There were three massage chairs in the relaxation room.
The massage chairs can be used for 15 minutes for 200 yen per time.

The relaxation room can be used at any time from the time of embarkation to before the ship enters port!

There were two karaoke rooms, A and B, on the fifth floor near the ship’s parking lot.

The rooms cost 3,000 yen per room and are available from boarding until lights out.

The view from the observation room built in the bow section of the ship was very nice.
Also, during the voyage, a calm space with down lights was created, giving a resort-like atmosphere.

There was a totally different calm atmosphere from the public spaces on the ship.

The men’s and women’s bathing areas are located in different areas, with the blue curtain for men and the red curtain for women.
The blue curtain is for men, and the red curtain is for women. The bathtubs overlook the ocean during the voyage.

The shower rooms are located in the main bathroom.
The blue curtain is for men and the red curtain is for women.

The shower rooms are equipped with rinse-in shampoo and body soap.

The shower rooms are designed to conserve water, and the time it takes for the hot water to come out varies depending on how hard you press the faucet.
When I used the shower, I measured the maximum time that the hot water kept coming out, and it was about 20 seconds.

The shower room can be used at any time from the time of embarkation until before the ship enters port.

You can see various views of the Seto Inland Sea, including a star-filled starry night sky, illuminated bridges and cityscapes, and the open sea in the early morning.

There were little chairs and tables on the observation deck.
Sometimes the ship is crowded with passengers when it passes through the three bridges or when it leaves port.

The restaurant is very spacious with plenty of seating!

There are also tables for four by the windows, so even groups can enjoy their meal while taking in the outside scenery.

One of the highlights of being on a ship is dining while gazing at the sea. When boarding the ship, I recommend the window seats (^-^).

The Hankyu Ferry restaurant operates on a cafeteria-style basis, with prices set for each dish. You simply place the items you want on a tray and take them to the cashier to pay.

Drinks such as water, hot water, and tea are complimentary and refillable.
