Aomori | See a ship with a carriage deck, a rare sight in the world

The Hakkoda Maru, a memorial ship for the Seikan Ferry, is located in Aomori City, Aomori Prefecture. This ship formerly connected Honshu and Hokkaido. Now that it's retired, it's open to the public as a museum ship. Inside the ship, actual passenger rooms, dining rooms, and cockpits have been recreated, and explanations of what maritime travel was like at the time are easy to understand. You can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Aomori Bay from the ship's deck. You can even enter the cockpit, which you would never be able to enter if the ship was still in operation, so ship enthusiasts will love it! Another unique thing about the Hakkoda Maru is that it has a "car deck" where cargo cars are loaded onto it. There are train tracks running through the ship! This is apparently extremely rare even around the world. Of course, you can also see the cargo cars on board the ship. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Hakkoda Maru, the memorial ship of the Aomori-Hakodate Ferry 📍 112-15 Yanagawa 1-chome, Aomori City 🕐 9:00-19:00 (17:00 in winter) ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ #Domestic travel trip #Hakkoda Maru #Aomori tourism #Aomori trip
