【DETAILS】

Bluemoon, a romantic white boat with a motif of the moon floating on the sea, is the only boat where you can enjoy an authentic cruise tour in Hakodate. 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 a hull structure designed to suppress rolling waves, so you may enjoy a comfortable cruise around Hakodate Bay with very modest waves.

In the main room of the boat, you can sit and enjoy conversation with your friends and family on the elegant wooden dining chairs. 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 may lounge on. On deck, you can enjoy the ocean view and the refreshing sea breeze.


This plan includes an optional, special arrangement in which you can reserve a table on the 2nd floor. 

The night cruise takes you from Hakodate Bay to Samukawa, a secluded area of Hakodate, while trying the locally-brewed beer and dry squid. Samukawa is at the back of Mt. Hakodate and cannot be found on normal maps!

You will see the bustling cityscape slowly turn into cliffs by the sea that are full of Hakodate's natural scenery. If the sky is clear on that night, you may be able to see the starry sky shining on the waters. The main attraction of the return trip is romantic nighttime scenery that includes red brick warehouses and shipyards. The finale of the luxurious trip, in which you can enjoy the nighttime view of the port town from out at sea, will surely be an unforgettable memory of your trip.
