As an island country, the history of Japan is also the history of shipping.
Since the dawn of history, we have continued to exchange people, goods, and culture through the sea.
Living with the sea and developing with ships, Nippon Yusen operates the NYK Maritime Museum and the NYK Hikawa Maru, hoping that through this history of Japanese shipping, many people will become more familiar with the sea and ships.
Please enjoy the track with various episodes in both facilities.
