The boat has two floors with a total length of 31 meters and a weight of 199 tons. Though it is small, the boat has the hull structure designed to suppress rolling. You can enjoy a comfortable cruise around the Hakodate Bay with modest waves.
In the main room of the boat, you can enjoy conversation sitting on the dining chair while feeling the warms of the wood. On the open deck on the second floor, there are chairs lined up facing the same way the boat is heading and a white round sofa you can sit on comfortably. Enjoy the ocean view while feeling a refreshing sea breeze.
The 30-minute cruising is full of attractions such as red brick warehouses, shipyards, and Mt. Hakodate. You may feel the time passes by in a blink of an eye.

After leaving the boat, go to the Kaisen Ichiba seafood market in about 2 minutes on foot. The market has over 2000 kinds of local specialties, best for souvenirs from Hakodate and Hokkaido. Then you will enjoy the Grilled Seafood on the day, such as scallops, shrimps, turban shells, oysters, squid, etc., all fresh from the sea. The ingredients may vary depending on the catch of the day.
