MOL Ferry Sunflower Sapporo (商船三井フェリーさんふらわあ さっぽろ) is Japan’s overnight ferry that operate from Oarai to Tomakomai, Hokkaido (大洗→苫小牧). It has various class seats from the cheap rooms like capsule hotel to the luxury suite rooms (カプセルホテルルームからスイートルームまで). It takes about 18 hours from Oarai to Tomakomai (大洗から苫小牧).
You can also chose a package tour called the Pacific Story (パシフィックストーリー) that includes the bus transportations from Tokyo Station to Sapporo Station (東京駅から札幌駅). In that case, it takes about 24 hours in total.
This cruise is highly recommended for those who want to travel with their car or who like voyages.
If you want to book at the cheapest price, I recommend you to book on the official website. Also, they sometimes offer special discount campaigns.
☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
—Tokyo to Hokkaido on the MOL Ferry Sunflower—
* There was Free WiFi, but no connection.
* It was so nice the ferry had a free public bath and sauna with a great view.
* I didn’t hear anyone snoring.
* It was too cold on the deck.
* There were various guests such as families, truck drivers, members of the Japan Self-Defense Forces, etc.
* It was always shaking a little.
* There was nothing to do.
A challenge to visit every country in the world… « Japan » is the « 1st » country that I visited out of all the 196 counties in the world.
