The "AGO BAY BLUE PASS (Ago Bay Cruise)," a limited-time cruise that allows you to enjoy the spectacular scenery of Ago Bay from the sea, is operating from Monday, May 11, 2026 to Saturday, October 31, 2026.
The "AGO BAY BLUE PASS" offers a new travel experience, allowing you to explore the beautiful scenery and islands unique to the ria coast while cruising across the calm waters of Ago Bay.
Because it allows for the shortest possible travel distance across the sea, it can also be used as a means of accessing hotels and tourist facilities. It's a service that allows you to enjoy the journey itself as part of the travel experience.
The cruise allows you to stop at resorts and tourist attractions along Ago Bay, offering a highly flexible travel experience.
Ports of call include Shima Kanko Hotel, Miyako Resort Shima Bayside Terrace, Village & Hotel Shima Mediterranean Village, NEMU RESORT, and Kashikojima Hoshōen, allowing you to enjoy accommodations, gourmet dining, day trips to hot springs, and more.
Use a cruise ship to travel the shortest distance across the ocean.
This allows for smooth travel to your destination hotel and surrounding tourist attractions without having to make detours by car.
Ago Bay, where cruise ships come and go, is a spectacular sight that symbolizes Ise-Shima, with its numerous ria coastlines and islands.
Feeling the gentle waves and breeze, the travel time will be an unforgettable memory.
You can disembark your cruise ship at any pier or port of your choice.
We propose a new way to travel, where you can stop by hotels and tourist spots that interest you and enjoy gourmet food and activities.
