Orange Ferry is a ferry that connects Kyushu, Shikoku, and Osaka.
There are Kyushu and Kansai routes, and the Kyushu route runs between Yawatahama Port in Shikoku and Usuki Port in Kyushu, with round trips taking 2 hours 15 to 25 minutes.
The Kansai route runs from Toyo Port to Osaka Nanko Port, and from Niihama Higashi Port to Kobe Rokko.
There is also a Dream Shuttle Bus, which is convenient for trips to Universal Studios Japan.
Reservations are required, but it connects the Osaka Nanko Ferry Terminal and the Hotel Kintetsu Universal City next to USJ in about 25 minutes.
There is a "1-Day Osaka Stay Plan" that is perfect for a trip to USJ, and there is a set plan that includes the Orange Ferry, Studio Pass (1-day ticket), Dream Shuttle Bus, and breakfast on board the ship.
There are limited departure dates for the "1-Day Osaka Stay Plan," so please check in advance.
The Orange Ferry departs from Toyo Port in Ehime at night, and while you sleep in like you're in a hotel, you'll arrive at Osaka Nanko Port in the morning.
After a full day of fun at USJ, the ferry departs from Osaka Nanko Port at night and arrives at Toyo Port in the morning, so it's a cheap and economical way to get around the park and enjoy it at your leisure.
Parking is free at Toyo Port if you leave your car there, so it looks like a reasonable trip to USJ.
