The journey from Yokohama is said to have been relatively uneventful, and all 944 immigrants made it to Hawaii healthy, with a minimum of illnesses or problems during the voyage, with the exception of one woman who suffered a miscarriage during the trip, but arrived herself in good health. In addition, an infant was discovered on board after the ship departed Yokohama, who does not seem to have belonged to any of the adults on board. Upon arrival, the immigrants signed labor contracts with individual plantation companies, underwent medical examinations, and spent ten days in quarantine on Sand Island in Honolulu Harbor before being able to enter Honolulu proper.
