Trying a First Class Royal Cabin on the Ferry in Japan | Osaka to Ehime

Aug 19 (Solo Travel Japan) - I tried the most expensive cabin, First Class Royal, on the ferry from Osaka to Ehime Japan. If you are looking for a big private cabin and a short ferry trip, this might be a good option.

There are four Royal Cabins on this ferry (two twins and two doubles).

The fare was 25,650 JPY / 233 USD.

One adult is 17,100 JPY. Two adults are 34,200 JPY. If you book a Royal Cabin alone, you need to pay extra 50% of one adult fare (8,550 JPY).

17,100+8,550=25,650

*Above fares are calculated on the B period. (There are A, B, C in a year)

*The fare changes depending on the season

The ferry is operated by Orange Ferry
