JR Kyushu Jet Ferry Concealed Flooding of ‘Queen Beetle’ and Continued Operations, Revealed by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Audit
Jumbo Ferry has expanded the available cabins for the ‘Funehaku’ plan starting April 9.
‘Funehaku’ is a new service launched in February, where passengers board the ferry departing from Kobe Port in the 7 PM hour, and while reaching Takamatsu, they do not disembark but return on the same ferry, arriving at Kobe Port early in the morning. By utilizing the late checkout service with no extra charge, passengers can stay onboard until 7 AM after arriving at Kobe Port.
Previously, only four ‘Family Private Rooms’ and three ‘Balcony Private Rooms’ were available, but now the ‘Spacious Loft Private Room’ is also available. The ‘Spacious Loft Private Room’ accommodates up to 3 people, and the rate starts at 4,990 yen per room for one person, with an additional 1,990 yen per person (2,490 yen on weekends and holidays).
