This time, I will introduce the onboard training that took place when I was a third-year university student.
I will be showing many photos from inside the ship.
This is our alma mater’s training ship, the “Kōyō Maru.”
It was a fairly large ship.
You can see the sea through the porthole.
This was probably taken when we were at Shimonoseki Port.
You can drink water from the water dispenser.
By the way, the water on the ship is separated into drinking water and utility water.
This is the student room inside the ship.
There were two bunk beds, and four students lived in each room.
The beds can be separated by curtains.
There was also a sofa.
As you can see, the bed is quite small.
Each bed had a foldable desk, so we could study there.
It’s important to have the sheets neatly stretched.
Since the space is small, keeping things tidy is essential.
This is the student dining hall and lecture room.
We have three meals here and also attend lectures in this room.
It’s fairly spacious. About 50 people can sit here at a time.
It shows the name tags of everyone on board.
All the crew and students’ name tags are listed here.
Watertight doors like these are installed at various places inside the ship.
If water enters the ship, these doors are closed.
This is the front deck of the ship.
It’s covered with a green tarp, but there is a machine for tuna longline fishing underneath.
The large white cushions are called fenders.
They are placed between the ship and the quay when docking to act as a cushion.
Various machines are arranged on the deck.
This is the salon.
It’s used by the captain and other senior officers. Visitors are also received in this room.
This is the kitchen. All three meals are prepared here.
By the way, my alma mater did not charge students for the onboard training. It was quite a luxury to have three meals provided and to participate in the training, all funded by taxes.
This is the ship’s entrance, called the “Genmon.”
