From Hiroshima, Kure and Hatsukaichi Cities in Hiroshima Prefecture to Matsuyama in Ehime Prefecture. Step into four different destinations steeped in history and local food delights across the Seto Inland Sea with two vessels, the Cruise Ferry and Super Jet, connecting Hiroshima and Matsuyama Ports.

Both ships have stops at Kure Port, making it easy to include sightseeing in Kure in your plans. For wallet-friendly travel, don’t miss the special pricing deals for overseas travelers to Japan, available to purchase between April 1st 2024 and March 31, 2025.
