A boarding experience will be offered at the Pukari Pier adjacent to Pacifico Yokohama for the sailing ship ‘Miraie’.
The sailing ship ‘Miraie’, which was active as the passenger ship ‘Akogare’, will have a viewing and paid boarding experience at the Pukari Pier adjacent to Pacifico Yokohama.
The sailing ship ‘Miraie’ is the only sailing ship in Japan that can be boarded by the general public. Originally, voyages by this ship were done for the purposes of developing human resources in natural and cross-cultural environments, but this time we will share the charms of sailing ships through a 90-minute cruise in the port, with sail training included.
