Launched in 1930 as a luxurious passenger liner, the Hikawa Maru quickly became a symbol of elegance. During World War II, it was converted into a hospital ship, providing medical services to those in need.

Now retired and anchored in Yokohama’s port, the ship stands as a museum, offering visitors a deep dive into its storied past.
