- Third Floor Rooftop: "Shine Deck"
- A prime location on the sea where you can view the islands and horizon of the Seto Inland Sea.
As a feature to fully enjoy the "Park on the SETONAIKAI," we have installed gazebos (arbors) to block the sun and a green terrace with artificial turf.
- Design
- "SEA PASEO"'s concept and design were highly praised, winning several awards, including the "Good Design Award 2019 Best 100" and the "Ship of the Year 2019 Small Passenger Ship Division Award."
- Scenery from the Ship
- Along the route, you can see vessels and submarines of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Kure Base, and the ship passes through "Ondo no Seto," one of the famous sights of the Seto Inland Sea (approx. 90m at its narrowest point).
