JNTO Blog Post - Check!
My first blog post for JNTO. I decided to talk about using the overnight ferry service Orange Ferry in December 2022. My posts are split up into two parts as I wanted to retain the essence of “Part 1 - To Catch a Ferry” and also “Part 2 - Riding Aboard the Orange Ferry”.
To catch a ferry . . .
What if I told you that there is a non-traditional way of traveling around Japan using an overnight ferry service, would you try it?
That is exactly what I did on this trip. My next stop was Kyoto and although there are many ways to go there, the most interesting option was to take an overnight ferry service from Ehime to Osaka.
Next stop, Matsuyama
Matsuyama was the next stop on this trip in 2022. It is one of the four Prefectures in Shikoku which is the smallest of the four main islands of Japan. I wanted to go Matsuyama because I wanted to see Dogo Onsen and also Matsuyama Castle. Later, I found out that there is an overnight passenger ferry service to Osaka which sounded intriguing and thought it would be a fun experience.
