Great little ferry and of course “free” with Japan Rail Pass which is recommended for anyone travelling to Japan.

Beautiful vintage looking ferries with plenty of seating and even a ramen shop! There is a lift for people with disabilities but it is slow. Very fast and comfortable ride to the island

We took the ferry on Thur morning at 11:10. However, due to fog, it was cancelled. We had to wait for the next ferry at 1pm. We never knew that there is so much fog at the Ferry pier until we see it for ourselves. Nevertheless, it was no fault of the ferry operators as the weather here is unpredictable. Just be careful when you plan your trip and always have contingency plans. As for us, we waited for the next one at 1pm, and the fog cleared by then, and off we went...Ferry trip was enjoyable and very relaxing too. Highly recommended.

We had heard this was a good way to travel between the two countries, without the hassle of going to airports for a very short flight. This is A GREAT WAY to do the trip. Easy check-in, accessible from the port within the city of Fukuoka and takes you to Busan, with easy access to downtown. Only 3-1/2 hours, very comfortable, reasonably priced. Highly recommend this.

It might be the fastest means to cross Kanmon strait. Took us five minutes from Karato to Mojiko. The pier is in between Karato market and Kaikyokan aquarium and tickets can be purchased right next to the Family mart outside Kaikyokan.

The Kurihama - Kanaya Ferry across the entrance to Tokyo Bay is a fun round-trip and a bargain for pedestrians. (Tokyo Wan-Ferry Kurihama Port). The boarding and dis-embarking process is easy and staff very helpful for non-Japanese-speaking tourists. Huge car-ferrying vessels go back and forth pretty much all of daylight. About a 45-minute one-way trip from Kurihama to the Chiba Prefecture. About 1,450 yen each adult round trip. Their web site has a good English translation. Fascinating to watch how the Ferry boat crew expertly dock the craft in tight quarters and get all the cars and passengers off and on the ship in timely, efficient fashion. Several very nice restaurants and attractions in Kanaya. We did not ferry a car across, so cannot speak to that experience but the pedestrian experience was so enjoyable, we did it twice in a week. Highly recommend it!
