Your list 
Hassle-free even with a rent-a-car! Travel from Kansai to Miyazaki by Miyazaki Car Ferry.
In 2022, a new ferry connecting the port of Miyazaki, Kyushu with the port of Kobe, Kansai, was put into service.
[Ferry Takachiho] and [Ferry Rokko] offer a relaxing journey on a comfortable ferry.
You can travel with your rent-a-car and take a break on the way. This journey by boat that connects Kyushu, Miyazaki to the Kansai area is highly recommended. You can take the time to plan your exciting trip ahead while resting your tired body at sea after a long day of driving.
Whether you are traveling alone or with friends or family, the new ship will welcome you with a wide range of rooms to suit your travel style. Even from the viewpoint of sustainability, traveling by ship has attracted significant attention in recent years. Please try this as a new means of transportation from Kobe to Miyazaki.
A recommendation from the Miyazaki Car Ferry Trip: The Daiyokujyo (Large Public Bath)
The ferry has a large public bath where you can stretch your legs and relax after a long day of traveling. Enjoy the night view and relax, followed by a good night's sleep. However, would also recommend a morning bath! Take a relaxing soak in the hot water before the ship enters the port and start your trip in good spirits.
*Please confirm the opening hours. The public bath may not be available during stormy weather.

The ferry’s warm colors are inspired by Miyazaki's rich nature and tropical fruits, and the design of the ferry centers around erimono cutouts used in the traditional Shinto ritual called Kagura.
The new ship has a significantly increased number of private rooms, allowing passengers to enjoy a more private and relaxing cruise.
This ferry is a popular choice for a comfortable cruise, with new cabins that can accommodate a wide variety of travel plans, including barrier-free, with-pet, and affordable and simple single rooms.
Recommendation: pet-friendly rooms!
The new "Ferry Takachiho" has With-pet Rooms available. Enjoy the boat trip with all your precious family members♪
[October 4. 2022 First Voyage] The new “Ferry Rokko”
![[October 4. 2022 First Voyage] The new “Ferry Rokko”-0](https://www.miyazaki-city.tourism.or.jp/storage/special_feature_paragraphs/1005/responsive_images/d9NfGadIRXreJNWZW0i5cQA4REVvC49eBJHOBhnV__1581_1119.jpeg)
From 2022, two new vessels, "Takachiho" and "Rokko," entered into service.
Unlike Ferry Takachiho, the interior of Ferry Rokko has a toned-down design.
The wallpaper of the escalators leading to the lobby after boarding the ship is blue representing the sea of Minato Kobe, white representing the chalk buildings and pearls found in the city, red representing the Port Tower and Kobe Bridge, and green representing Mt. Rokko in the background. The essence of these elements are expressed in the checkered pattern of the Kobe Tartan design.
Like Ferry Takachiho, Ferry Rokko can accommodate a variety of travel styles. We recommend using this ferry for both travel and business.
Onboard events *Help irregularly*
Onboard events are held irregularly. If there is an event when you board the ferry, lucky you! The event calendar (only available in Japanese) is updated, so please check to see if there are any events when you board the ship.
Free Wi-Fi is available on board, but please note that because we are at sea, there are some areas on our route where Wi-Fi is not available! We also recommend that you relax and have a digital detox during the trip.
The Miyazaki Car Ferry connects Kyushu to Kansai by sea, so take the leisurely route and enjoy "being transported” as a form of entertainment!
