Kumamoto Ferry Ocean Arrow
Mt. Aso to the east, Mt. Unzen to the west. This is a luxurious night cruise in the Ariake Sea between these two World Geoparks. Made in Japan, the Ocean Arrow is one of the world's finest high-speed car ferries in operation. The Ocean Arrow was built by JMU, which has a million-ton dock in Kumamoto on the Ariake Sea, and is proof that Japan is both a manufacturing nation and has world-class shipbuilding technology. The ship offers an impressive cruise experience with a two-floor cabin, an open deck, and a variety of unique spaces.
