The rooms of Hankyu Ferry are on the fifth, sixth and seventh floors respectively, ranging from rooms with bathrooms to economical ordinary rooms, and there are rooms only for women to share.
Double room: Royal Suite ()
There are only two of the most luxurious "Royal Suites" on the Hankyung Ferry, covering an area of 36.5 square meters, suitable for one or two people. There is a comfortable little living room and a bathtub with sea view in the bathroom! The bed area is also quite large, with a big TV, refrigerator and tea-making facilities, so comfortable that I don't want to go out at all!
double room: suite ()
a suite with a private bathroom is suitable for one or two people. Recommended for people who are used to enjoying private space. As comfortable as a normal hotel room. Considering the price, privacy and comfort comprehensively, it is an ideal choice!
Room for 3 or 4 people: Deluxe Japanese and Western cabins (|1
"Deluxe Japanese and Western Cabin" has a Western-style bed and a room with tatami. When two people use it, it can be used as a sofa, or it can be laid flat to increase the space for three or four people. Family and friends are highly recommended to travel together.
4 rooms: luxury western-style cabin (124
"luxury western-style cabin" has a dining area, a desk and four compartments, which is suitable for four people. It is very suitable for a family of four with children, or for four friends to travel, so that they can completely reserve their own space.
Triple room: Deluxe Japanese-style cabin ()
Another recommended choice for triple room is "Deluxe Japanese-style cabin", which is dominated by tatami space. Suitable for small families with children.
Deluxe single room ()
If you are traveling alone, this "Deluxe single room" with private space will be highly recommended. You are not afraid of being disturbed by people with different life schedules. The room is equipped with a sink, and the bathroom can use a large bath and a public toilet.
Western-style cabin ()
The thoughtfulness of the Hankyu ferry is reflected in the details. Even the "standard western-style cabin" to share with others has been designed as bunk beds that are not easy to meet. There are curtains and comfortable stairs instead of traditional hanging stairs. Under the stairs, there is luggage storage space! This room type also provides a female-only room, with magnetic cards to control access, which is quite reassuring.
Japanese standard cabin ()
Datong's "standard Japanese cabin" room type has a partition between each bed, a charging plug, and a locker at the top where you can put things and lock them.
you can also enjoy a sizzling meal on the ferry.
In the restaurant on the sixth floor of Hankyu Ferry, buffet is provided in the cafeteria. The dinner menu includes fried tempura, grilled fish, ming prince and other Japanese side dishes, as well as sashimi made with fresh catches from Seto Inland Sea and Kyushu, and hot Guandong cooking. I especially recommend "iron plate steak". After ordering with the staff, I served a hot steak!
you can choose Japanese breakfast, such as grilled salmon, miso soup and rice, or western breakfast, such as toast, salad, black coffee, porridge and curry, which is quite rich.

large baths and open-air hot springs
seascape open-air hot springs
After eating in the restaurant, the most comfortable thing is to take a bath in the bathhouse! There are open-air hot springs on both sides of the big bathhouse on the seventh floor, which are divided into boys and girls.
