Shin Nihonkai Ferry operates long-distance ferries on the Sea of Japan side. It takes 21 hours from Otaru in Hokkaido to Maizuru in Kyoto.
The cheapest fare is 11,000 JPY = 85 USD for tourist class. Japan’s long-distance ferries are all clean, well-equipped, and very comfortable. So you can enjoy casual cruising comfortably even in tourist class.
I think it is a very convenient ferry for those who want to enjoy Hokkaido and Kyoto at the same time.
Unfortunately, I was hit by a bad weather this time, resulting in a significant delay. Although this does not happen often, it is recommended that you allow plenty of time to board the cruise, as cruises are subject to cancellations and delays.
I hope this video helps you plan your trip.
Have a nice voyage 😊
