Before the Seikan tunnel opened in the late 1980s, ferries used to connect Hokkaido and Honshu, as commemorated by Seikan Ferry Memorial Ship Hakkodamaru. The self-guided tour of the ferryboat starts on the promenade deck, now a museum displaying photographs and dioramas that depict the lifestyle of the port's people. See preserved cabins, the command bridge, and the open-top deck, then descend to the lower part to check out the engine room. Highlights include the vehicle deck, displaying a historical express car, diesel locomotive, and mail car.

It was a fabulous experience to see how this ferry was used to transport people and goods around the waters of Northern Japan.

A great, well-maintained museum that displays how people and cargo moved between Honshu and Hokkaido before the Seaikan Tunnel opened. One can visit nearly all areas of the ship, including the bridge, the captain's compartment and the engine room. In one of the lower decks, there are some rare rolling stock on display too.
