Wonderful Solutions Project Consortium (comprising Kokusai Ryobi Ferry, OHK, and Fairy Tale) will launch "Fune Yoga - Fune YOGA -", an unprecedented shipboard yoga event, starting April 2026. This event will take place on the rooftop observation decks of ferries navigating the Setouchi Sea.
◆The Setouchi Sea, My Own Yoga Studio.
Regular ferry routes connect Okayama/Takamatsu with Shodoshima. What used to be "travel time" to reach a destination will transform this spring into a stage for a special experience. The calm waters of the Setouchi Sea stretching 360 degrees, the "multi-island beauty" created by scattered islands, and the gentle sea breeze caressing your cheeks.

Yoga performed in the liberating location of a ferry's rooftop observation deck allows you to forget the hustle and bustle of everyday life and leads your mind and body to deep relaxation. The luxury of experiencing a sense of unity where the sky and sea merge, with the sound of waves as background music, is unique to a "moving venue" on a ship.
