There are two routes: Beppu and Usuki in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, to Yawatahama in Ehime Prefecture, Shikoku. The accommodation on the boat is simple but comfortable for the 3-hour journey. A private room is available for special occasions. The route beside the Sadamisaki Peninsula and across the Bungo Channel is scenic, and you can see many seabirds and occasionally dolphins. A short ferry trip is a good opportunity to relax and perhaps strike up a conversation with your fellow travellers. The boats all have Wi-Fi too, so you won’t be out of touch. Uwajima Unyu Ferries links the islands of Shikoku and Kyushu, with numerous sailings a day across the beautiful Seto Inland Sea. This service is ideal for independent travellers who want to experience parts of Japan that are off the beaten track. Yawatahama is a picturesque port with an illustrious history as the centre of Japan’s industrial revolution. It has attractive streets of old houses, factories and sake breweries. Japan’s first

Saw before taking this ferry there was a lack of info or reviews on it in English, apart from the company's own web site - so here's a review and some pictures I took on board. Took a morning ferry on a Saturday from Beppu to Yawatahama and had no issues and a smooth ride. The first deck is for vehicles - when I was there it was nearly all semi trucks and few passenger vehicles. The next two decks are for passengers, and the top deck is an outdoor observation deck. There weren't many people on board, and a second class ticket was more than enough - first class only gets you a private room with a bed. There is food court style seating and large shoes-off areas to lie down or sit on the floor and have a "picnic" on the carpet (first come first serve) Also a small entertainment area with slot machines etc, vending machines here and there ofcourse, and a small cafeteria that sells relatively cheap food - though didn't try it so can't comment on the quality/taste. The ride was also pretty smooth as I normally get motion sickness but was perfectly fine for the entire 2h45 trip. Free wifi on board, though it was a bit slow. Ferry took off and arrived on time. Note the company has a few ferries which might be slightly different, so pictures are of just the one I was on.
