Hakone, Kanagawa Pref., July 14 (Jiji Press)–Odakyu Hakone Co.’s Royal II “pirate ship” sightseeing boat with a renovated first-class cabin will go into operation on Lake Ashi in the popular tourist town of Hakone in eastern Japan on Saturday. The company expects to receive at least 2 million visitors a year following the Royal II’s first renovation since its launch in 2013. It operates three pirate ship-themed sightseeing vessels on the lake, located in Kanagawa Prefecture, south of Tokyo. The renovated first-class cabin features characteristics of an 18th-century French warship, with the furniture and decoration in white and deep red. The cabin interior was unveiled to media organizations on Tuesday. A one-way ticket for the boat costs 1,700 yen. Passengers need to pay an additional 800 yen to access the first-class cabin. An Odakyu Hakone official expressed hope that all visitors to Hakone will enjoy excellent rides aboard the ship. END [Copyright The Jiji Press, Ltd.]
