"Excellent"

Excellent ferry company. The staff was very responsive and helpful whenever we add any question. Trip went exactly as planned. We were asked to arrive 1H early at the ferry terminal and this was correct in terms of border crossing, security and boarding.

"Wonderful experience"

So glad I chose to travel over by Beetle to Korea. Although quicker to fly to Seoul the journey I had was amazing experience and quite unexpected. Staff were lovely and having hot coffee and a sandwich was an added bonus. Depending on the weather the wifi doesn't always work although I did manage to connect with friends on Facebook while we were travelling. I travelled in November and was not at all seasick. In fact I was astonished at how smooth the sea was. A really great experience that i would advise any visitor to Japan or Korea to embark upon at least once in their lifetime.

Hakata Guide

Hakata Ferry Port

The marina terminal at Hakata Port is one of Japan’s biggest and busiest ports, with both domestic and international cruise ships entering the harbour. The port is located in an area that’s renowned for the rich comfortable lives of its inhabitants, making it one of the most sought-after areas of Japan. The port offers luxury ferries to both Shanghai in China and Busan in Korea, creating a diverse mix of people in and around the hub making it a relaxing and safe place for visitors. Hakata Port is found on Fukuoka, Kyushu’s largest city, and it’s still growing. Some confusion surrounds the area after two towns formed in 1889, creating a debate around the name of the place – some people still refer to the port as Fukuoka, though it is widely accepted as Hakata Port. The ferry terminal is located very close to the city centre and is within walking distance for those who are partial to a stroll. There are also bus services that run to the terminal; the city provides free Wi-fi making it easy to research bus timetables or book a taxi for quick and stress free transport.
