If you want to enjoy a slightly more luxurious trip to Sendai, then the Pacific Ferry is definitely the way to go!

"I want to travel to Miyagi Prefecture!"
"I want to make my trip to Sendai an unforgettable memory!"
"I want to enjoy a slightly more grown-up trip!"

In this article, I'll suggest a slightly more luxurious trip for you.
There are various ways to get to Sendai, such as by car, Shinkansen, or plane, but my recommended method is by ferry.
There are only a limited number of ports that depart and arrive for Sendai, but if you can use the ferry, I highly recommend it!

Simply luxurious! The appeal of Pacific Ferries

The regular ferry service that takes you to Sendai is the Pacific Ferry.
The Pacific Ferry connects Tomakomai, Sendai, and Nagoya, and is one of the most affordable ways to travel to Sendai in style.
Here, we will introduce the appeal of the Pacific Ferry.

A lounge so beautiful you won't want to go back to your room

Look at how spacious it is!

Even though it's on a ship, the lounge is filled with an open feeling.
During the day, there are performances on the piano in the lounge, which liven up the voyage.
Being surrounded by music while gazing out the window at the vast ocean is the ultimate luxury.

The lounge also has a cafe serving light meals, making it the perfect place to enjoy lunch or afternoon tea

Breakfast, lunch and dinner buffet

Although there is an additional charge, one of the restaurant's attractions is that dinner, breakfast, and lunch are all served buffet style

Just because you're on a ship doesn't mean you can underestimate the food.
The menu is extensive, with meat and fish dishes and everything in between, and it surpasses even the most average hotel buffets.

An observation bath overlooking the endless ocean

The ferry also has bathing facilities

The large public bath has a large window, so you can enjoy the view of the endless ocean as you bathe.
The bath ripples in sync with the ocean waves, creating the illusion of being in the ocean.

Why not soak in the warm water and think about your destination, Sendai?

Nighttime entertainment: Theater Lounge Show

The theater lounge show is an evening treat that takes place every night from 8:00 p.m

The spectacular shows, featuring artists from a variety of genres, are a huge success, with every seat filled.
Being able to watch a full-scale concert for free is one of the perks of traveling by ferry!

There's also a game corner and souvenir shop, so you won't get bored!

It takes quite a long time to get to Sendai by ferry.
It's surprising to know that it takes 15 hours from Tomakomai and around 20 hours from Nagoya.

Some people may think that if it takes that long, they might get a little bored

If you're one of those people, we recommend killing time in the game corner or shop.
The game corner has a wide selection of games perfect for killing time, including classic cabinets for games like "Puyo Puyo" and mahjong, as well as slot machines.

The shop is filled with a wide variety of souvenirs from Hokkaido, Miyagi, and Nagoya, so just looking at them will get you excited.
Of course, they also have sweets, snacks, and alcohol, so you can enjoy a drink while waiting for your flight to arrive, which is a unique pleasure of traveling!

Gaze out at the horizon from the observation deck!

The best part of the ferry ride is the observation deck

The feeling of freedom, with nothing in front, behind, on either side, or even beyond the horizon, is an experience that cannot be replaced by anything else.
A slightly strong breeze also adds to the enjoyment of the trip.

If you happen to catch the ferry just as it is returning
, you'll be extremely lucky. Be sure to take a photo of this rare sight of a ferry cruising on the ocean!

summary

Traveling by ferry is the most affordable way for adults to experience a celebrity-like atmosphere

If you stay in a large open room, you can enjoy it for as little as 7,200 yen.
Of course, this is only possible if you don't have a car.

By the way, the most expensive room, the Royal Suite, costs 47,500 yen.
Whether you think that's cheap or expensive is up to you, but honestly, you'll end up spending more time enjoying the ship than staying in your room, so if you're traveling for the first time, it's best to stay in a cheaper room and wander around the ship rather than an expensive room.
