All Reviews of Cruise Ferry / Linear Jet

This time, I chose to take the SEA PASEO cruise ferry from Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture to Kure in Hiroshima Prefecture for sightseeing. Compared with regular transportation, traveling by boat felt more leisurely and relaxing, and I could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Seto Inland Sea along the way.

The SEA PASEO is quite new, with an overall calm color scheme and very comfortable seats. There is also a small shop on board where you can buy drinks and snacks. The counter seats even have power outlets, making them convenient whether you want to relax, enjoy the scenery, or get some work done.

The boat was very steady throughout the trip, with hardly any noticeable rocking. Even people who usually worry about seasickness can enjoy the journey without concern.

I’ve eaten oysters before, but I’d never seen how they’re harvested...

This time, we headed out before dawn to join Shimada Suisan’s tour, and it was truly eye-opening! Besides seeing Itsukushima Shrine from the water, we also got to watch the oyster harvesting and cleaning process. To top it off, we had a warm, comforting breakfast of fresh oyster porridge and plump grilled oysters.

Huge respect to all the hardworking staff! Thanks to them, we get to enjoy delicious oysters!

Super convenient for getting to the Seto Inland Sea islands like Shodoshima and Naoshima!

It’s not just easy transportation—there’s also installation art on board to enjoy.

The artistic vibe of a Seto Inland Sea art trip starts from the very beginning.
