Representative of Laguna Ten Bosch OperationsOkiharunaexplained that the Thousand Sunny was relocated here from Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki last July and is scheduled to stay at Laguna Ten Bosch until 2018. During weekdays in summer, it offers five departures from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, spaced 30–40 minutes apart. On weekends and holidays, there are six departures from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Each sailing accommodates only 25 passengers, andbefore boarding, passengers receive an original “One Piece cruise ticket” featuring different characters, which can also be kept as a souvenir.

Okiharuna noted that Laguna Ten Bosch was originally a water park centered around a swimming pool, with most visitors coming in the summer. After HIS Travel Group took over, the resort was completely revamped—the pool area was transformed into a water projection facility, surrounded by shopping streets and malls. To attract older visitors, a Flower Festival began on March 19 this year, featuring different flower varieties each month, with a new opera troupe being introduced in April.
