Here is an explanation of the ferry,
which may sound familiar but is surprisingly new to many people.
Ferries are ocean liners used for daily transportation.
Each ferry has a specific departure and arrival point and operates at a specific time each day. In fact, they are easy to ride, just like trains and buses
In this context, the term “ferry” refers specifically to car ferries.
As the name suggests, car ferries can be used to load cars and motorcycles.
If you board with your car, you can enjoy traveling over a wide area after you disembark. Ferries departing from Hanshin Port (Osaka Port and Kobe Port) are very large and can carry a large number of vehicles!
Ferries connecting medium to long distances operate mainly at night.
Therefore, passengers can spend the night relaxing on board
and be on their way in the morning once they arrive at their destination.
Furthermore, the interior of the ferry is very well equipped, just like a hotel, to allow you to relax in the spacious cabin while traveling.
Ferries not only transport passengers to their destinations,
but also carry a large amount of cargo such as industrial products and foodstuffs every day.
They are environmentally friendly and reduce the burden on drivers as they carry and operate many trucks and cars. Ferries are very hard-working and important modes of transport that are indispensable to our daily lives!
There are many other types of boats besides ferries,
but often we mistake ferries for ferryboats and cruise ships
which are used to take passengers to and from remote islands.
There are ferries that go to remote islands, but that is not all! There are routes that connect various areas in Japan, making them a perfect means of transportation for traveling.
Ferries are different from cruise ships. A cruise ship is meant to be enjoyed for sightseeing purposes, while a ferry is a means of transportation to reach a specific destination.
However, ferries have evolved to the point where they can now be considered moving hotels, offering delicious meals and views that cannot be seen on land!
Here is an explanation of the ferry,
which may sound familiar but is surprisingly new to many people.
One of the concerns about taking a ferry
is getting seasick.
Here we will tell you the causes of seasickness and what you can do about it.
For this reason, it is possible to get seasick
even on a ferry.
However, the swaying you feel
on a ferry tends to be less severe compared to that of a smaller boat, since it is relatively gentle,
you are less likely to get seasick.
It is easier to feel the swaying if you sit still.
Until your body becomes accustomed to the ferry, please take a tour around the vessel before settling into your room or seat.
Looking down and staring at close objects will make you more susceptible to sickness. Avoid using your phone or reading for long periods of time until your body becomes accustomed to the ferry. Ferries departing from Hanshin Port (Osaka Nanko Port and Kobe Port) offer a variety of views depending on the route.
It is common for people to actually get seasick
because of the anxiety and stress from thinking, “I might get seasick….” It is important to relax on board by chatting and enjoying the music and scenery.
