Operators expect the service to be used for a wide range of purposes, including commuting, shopping and sightseeing. On the first day of operations, April 26, many passengers and tourists gathered to use the new route. One passenger said the trip was more comfortable than taking the bus, which can often be crowded and difficult to board with a stroller. The passenger added that being able to step outside during the journey made the ride especially pleasant. The electric ferry is scheduled to operate almost every day. Through May 31, the one-way adult fare is 900 yen, with 9 round trips planned daily.
