Taiheiyo Ferry

This long-distance ferry connects Tomakomai (Hokkaido), Sendai, and Nagoya, operating Japan’s longest domestic ferry route at 1,330 km. Set against the vast Pacific Ocean, the voyage is more than just transportation, it lets you enjoy an elegant journey at sea.

The fleet consists of three vessels, the Ishikari, Kiso, and Kitakami, with some of the largest ferries in Japan operating on a regular schedule. While each has its own distinct concept, all offer a high level of comfort. On board, you can choose from a wide range of cabins, including the Royal Suite, to suit your needs and budget, along with spacious public areas.

In terms of facilities, the ships are equipped with observation baths, restaurants, lounges, shops, and more, creating an environment where you can spend your time on board like at a resort hotel. Programs such as shows and concerts are also held in the theater lounge, with touches throughout that turn travel time into a richer experience.

Another highlight is the observation passageway, where you can take in sweeping ocean views and enjoy scenery that changes with the seasons. The ferry combines strong cargo transport capacity with the comfort of a cruise ship.
