welcomes a new ferry, "Aoi" is connect to beautiful island, Shodoshima, in Seto Inland Sea. The largest ferry serving Shodoshima. Designed with expansive passenger spaces, the ferry incorporates four motifs emblematic of the island—olives, soy sauce, stones, and terraced rice fields—creating an elegant and playful resort atmosphere. As you step onboard, an open and welcoming entrance inspired by terraced rice fields, accompanied by piano music, sets the tone for your journey.
For seating, choose from the stretch-out seats, where each passenger can recline fully, or cozy box seats.
At the gourmet counter, you’ll find delights such as original udon made with local ingredients like Olive Beef, collaborative creations with Shodoshima’s renowned gelato shops and sake breweries, and more, showcasing the island’s culinary appeal.
The rooftop deck, accessible via the central staircase, features a grassy plaza and the Smile Stage, offering breathtaking views as you pass under the Akashi Kaikyo Bridge.
