Calm, clear weather provides the best conditions to ride the ferry so you can comfortably enjoy the open upper deck. It is ideal to plan your crossing on days when either Kaiyukan or Universal Studios Japan is welcoming visitors. Stormy marine conditions or high swells can cause sailings to be temporarily paused.
Travelers can select either a one-way passage or a round-trip voyage across the bay. Separate fare categories exist for standard riders and preschool children between 3 and 6 years old. Every pass grants admission onto the boat with access to both indoor lounge seating and the outdoor observation area.

Casual everyday attire is recommended, along with an extra windbreaker or light layer if you plan to sit outside.
