◯Sapporo Sunflower (Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ferry) is a regular ferry connecting Oarai Port in Ibaraki Prefecture and Tomakomai Port in Hokkaido. Going by ferry is a relaxing and enjoyable way to travel when you’re driving your car, riding your bike.
Especially in summer, it gets crowded as many people use it for driving and touring. We recommend booking the ticket early when you have decided your schedule.

– Comfort room is good enough to accommodate
– Comfort room does not come with towels, so bring your own or buy them at the store!
– The room is very quiet.
– There is no Wi-Fi, and the signal is very weak, so I recommend downloading movies and books in advance.
