At the entrance hall of the NYK Hikawamaru. The interior of the ship is decorated in the Art Deco style. In the entrance hall's handrail is a carving of the 'Yakumo' crest of the Ōmiya Hikawa Shrine in Saitama, from which the ship's name derives, but it is upside down.

I found the ' #Yakumo ' crest of the #ŌmiyaHikawaShrine, which is the origin of the ship's name!
