Are there any ferry tickets /passes in Japan that cover multiple ferries between multiple islands?
I know you can buy JR Rail passes for travel by train all over Japan.
But Japan also has many islands and I assume quite a few of them are serviced by ferries.
What I'm wondering is whether there is anything resembling a "ferry network" where you can buy a single ticket or pass that covers a range of ferries between different islands.
If not for the entire country, then at least for particular areas with many islands, such as Okinawa. Or even for any group of three, four, or five islands.
(If there are several such passes each serving small groups of islands this may be changed to a Community Wiki question.)

How do you travel between Japanese islands?
Japan's transportation infrastructure is excellent and transport between Japan's many islands is quite easy. Between trains, buses, ferries, and airplanes, you have access to all of the nooks and crannies of Japan's many islands.How much does a ferry cost in Japan?

The only existing route via ferry is by going first to Kagoshima, where a regular liner service to Okinawa is available. The Marix Line runs the regular cruise service from the New Kagoshima Port to the Naha Port in Okinawa. The trip takes about 25 hours, and the passenger fare ranges from 14,610 yen to 36,530 yen.Alternatives to the Japan Rail Pass (JR Pass): Flex Ticket, Platt Kodama, etc
