Congrats on 1 year!!🎉 This was the best anniversary trip!! The room was really nice and that sunrise was amazing!! Your humor cracks me up!! Thanks 'curry freak' (lol) for a wonderful trip!❤️
Thank you for starting this channel. You’re wickedly funny - you have a brilliant self-deprecating sense of humour, sir. Happy 1st anniversary! Many more to come! 🎌🇯🇵🎌🇯🇵
Is it only a year? It seems so much more than that - so many trips, adventures, curries. Thank you once again for sharing it with us. The suite looked fantastic and so much room! The bathroom was enormous and the bath looked wonderful. I do hope they provided enough food, although I was a little disappointed you couldn't change anything on that menu. Good to know that you have your priorities right about getting some curry once you arrived in Niigata! The curtain will be lonely without you
That was a fancy suite. The bath was huge, especially by Japanese standards. First time I've ever watched someone on TH-cam carry a conversation with a curtain! 😁 Like most cruise meals, the menu in the dining room is set, although at a higher standard than the buffet. I thought it was odd that they served the miso soup at the end of the meal. Thanks for sharing these trips. I've watched from the start and enjoy your videos.
Your suite looked very comfortable and to have a tub is just frosting on the cake! That dinner looked sumptuous! Now I really want to visit Japan and ferry from top to bottom and back again.
Thank you very much for a year of amazing videos! The suite looked amazing, I've been in hotel rooms that aren't half as nice as that one. I liked the bathtub in particular! I do wonder how they handle food allergies on the grill. If the meal is included, I would expect to be able to eat it, and other than the first and the last dish served at dinner, the rest of them would kill me dead.
I was thinking the same thing - all the money for that suite and yet no flexibility with meals - someone else described them as underwhelming - I could do without the attempt at a high end restaurant all together - don’t include meals in price of ticket and everyone eat when / where and what they want (or can) - as someone with food allergies I would have had to pay additional cost to eat at the cafe - customer service as far as meals concerned two really big thumbs down👎👎
@@ej3016 Or do include the meals in the price, but make it an option between the fancy meal and a meal ticket that you can use at the main restaurant, so people who like the fancy dish can go there and people who aren't really fussed / have allergies can get some free food at the other place so they haven't lost anything.
Yes, I have realized watching these that if my husband and i ever travel to Japan we will probably have to do self-catered or at a minimum check out our accommodations very carefully because of food allergies. Until then I am so glad to take it all in through STJ.
The eating arrangement is very strange, because usually when you book the most expensive accommodation, you'd expect to be given the maximum number of choices, not be locked into a set menu that you might not be able, or just might not want, to eat. Surely they could give you the choice of booking the room with or without the set meals so you could use the regular restaurant for dinner and/or breakfast if you wanted to. They must be getting complaints about this forced set-meal thing.
Thank you so much for making and sharing your travel videos. I have seen almost all of them, and they helped me dream of travel to Japan during the worst part of the pandemic. I know it takes extra effort to make the English sub-titles and I appreciate that you do them very much. I hope your travels always have good weather, and a good kurry is always available onboard!
What spectacular photography! So, a truly gourmet meal and a cabin so luxurious I'd be embarrassed to take it as a solo traveler, but you deserve every bit of it for your anniversary. Great celebration!
SEAGULLS 🤣😂🤣 maybe if that really was a dog park rather than a helipad there wouldn’t be such a seagull problem 🤣😂🤣 many thnx for all you’ve done over this past year - many thnx for taking us along on your travel adventures and now your new food adventures - I lift my glass to the next year 🍺🍺🍺
Even though you don't show your person, you manage quite well with your gestures and sense of humor, they always make me laugh~thanks for your effort! Oh...almost forgot to say Happy Anniversary!
Sometimes I've wondered if STJ has a girlfriend. No worries! He has gull-friends! I had a really bad day yesterday. But today was much better, then I found a new STJ video and it became VERY much better. And I didn't even watch all of it yet.
Ok, watched it all now. It's a shame about the food. The usual buffet food looks better to me than this did. I'd probably want to get the cheapest cabin with a private toilet. Because I'm old and have to go several times a night.
18:08 - I'm not a fun of plum juice, either. Now prune juice... THAT'S some fun! Especially at 3 in the morning when the effect truly hits. 20:10 - looks like a matzoh ball 23:00 - the entire dinner looks wonderful. Sadly, my own tastes are so poor as to make even my fellow Americans look like gourmands, but it's nice to see someone who can appreciate the meal like yourself. 30:00 - That goes double for the breakfast, Thanks for all the great vids.
Oooooo. Fancy dining and accommodations this time around That dinner was completely worth it, although didn't seem very filling for you. Not surprised you went for the ice cream afterwards. LOL! I'm surprised you don't have another option for breakfast. The room, however, was spacious and I would even say luxurious by comparison to other ferries you've stayed on. Still, it was an experience with the visiting seagulls and fly away curtains. Happy anniversary!! Didn't realize it until you mentioned it. :)
I like that you show us your route on a map. I also like your humor. Imagine how you would have felt if one of the food items at the grill was roast bird...
Congratulations on your first year-Solo! My daughter and I have been watching from the beginning. We enjoy every trip and the new channel too! Your humor filled videos made this year brighter. Thank you!
Hello SOLO SAN! Congrats on your first anniversary mate. That toilet in your cabin is something else. The Toilet pan and seat looks more like the EJECTOR SEAT in James Bond's Aston Martin. Pull the wrong lever or press the wrong button and it is 'GOOD NIGHT NURSE"! Another BRILLIANT video and presentation!
1. Love seagulls! Thanks for spending some time on them. They are beautiful birds. 2. That dinner looked so fancy! I'm not a fancy person so I think that would be too fancy for me. But it did look amazing!
Thank you for sharing your adventures! I lived in Japan and watching your videos is like returning home. I love your sense of humour 😂 Wishing you many safe and happy travels 🛳🚅🚎
Congratulation on your 1 year celebration. Thought the whole thing with the seagull was so funny, also your comment about the drawers and moving in. I really enjoy your adventures and always look forward to the next one. Also enjoy your food channel as well. Thank you. ❤️. Oh and I almost forgot, what an amazing sunrise, as if the sun was rising right out of the water. Beautiful!
This video made my day, I love seeing all the adventures you go on and I really like your sense of humour with the seagulls and the curtain. Thank you for making this video. Keep up the amazing videos :)
Big thank you for all the wonderful videos over the past year! Not only did it inspire me to work ferries into my future trip, the videos got me through the roughest days of the pandemic (working as a nurse). Your humour is so great, and I just love the way you do the videos. Happy anniversary!
I hope it covers the beer and ice cream you had. :-) Thank you for entertaining videos in your channel! かもめへの脅しとかカーテンの部分などクスッと笑えるユーモアも楽しかったです。これからも頑張ってください！
I really like your videos. They are so well made. Very informative. And you are funny (much funnier than most viewers realize, I’m sure). Keep this up! 👌🏿
I think this is my favorite cabin you’ve shown and the meal looked amazing!!! I wanna goooooo. I grew up in Okinawa, hoping to travel to Japan with my daughter one day💕
The pillow with the abs and the curtain conversation was hilarious. What a great view from the bath tub. The food was presented beautifully. Really liked this ferry suite.
Superb video. Loved it to the core. The interior of the ferry and suite resembled like a five star hotel. The sunrise capture was absolutely incredible.
Congrats on one year! After finding this channel, I now dream of spending a month or so in Japan just riding the trains and ferries as I travel the country.
Every time I watch one of your videos I’m amazed at the food selections! Your dinner was really amazing! But now I’m really hungry for what you had! Looked both beautiful and so yummy!
Happy first anniversary of your channel! The cabin looked really luxurious and that dinner went on for ages. Sorry you couldn't change what they serve, but perhaps in the future they will be able to be more flexible. Thanks for all the trips. It's wonderful to see so much of Japan through your eyes and with your humour. I wish you many good curry meals and more excellent trips.
Wow, your ferry suite was ...SWEET! And you even get pajamas and pillows with abs. How thoughtful. :-) Your dinner looked impressive, in fact everything on the ferry was impressive! Thanks for taking us on the trip with you!
I haven't been with you a year, but I enjoy and look forward to all your travels. Congratulations and I pray your channel continues to grow. This suite was spacious huge! The sunrise was amazing with the island blocking a bit of it. I thought I saw Godzilla waving through the blaze of the sun! You could probably order off the other menu but you would probably have to pay for it. I can't wait to see what you are eating next! I want to try so many different Japenese style dishes now. Thank you! ✌😎❤🇺🇸🤘🎸
Congratulations on the 1 year anniversary! A very nice, luxury trip to celebrate makes sense for the occasion. The dinner was really beautiful, and thank you for your courage to sample another ice cream to inform us, the viewers! We appreciate your bravery and dedication!
I was worried that we weren’t going anywhere this weekend. My bags are packed and I’m ready!!!!! LET’S GO!!!,
l thing it is a lie
Si
But Does he talk Japanese?
-6 j and
I love travelling in Japan,but I travelled more miles by Shinkansen than Japanese ferry. I only did shorter voyages.
Japanese citizen: hmm, basic toilet.
U.S. citizen: a spaceship toilet! 😲
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for all of the sunrises we've shared!
Right?!? It has a control panel!!
@@daxtonfleming Exactly!!! Welcome to Star Trek!
I thought the same lol
😂
Those things can give one a complete enema. Be careful with the "high-pressure wash" settings.
Congrats on 1 year!!🎉 This was the best anniversary trip!! The room was really nice and that sunrise was amazing!! Your humor cracks me up!! Thanks 'curry freak' (lol) for a wonderful trip!❤️
You can put the man in First Class but you can't take the Curry Rice out of the man!🍚🥢 Happy Anniversary Solo! CONGRATULATIONS!!!😁🦐🦞🦀🍦🍺
You comment appears to imply curry rice is something low class.
Thank you for starting this channel. You’re wickedly funny - you have a brilliant self-deprecating sense of humour, sir. Happy 1st anniversary! Many more to come! 🎌🇯🇵🎌🇯🇵
Thanks for saying that! I appreciate it
@@SoloTravelJapan For those curtains, get a potato chip bag clip from a 3 coin store. Works every time 😆
@@SoloTravelJapan I’m watching this with chips 🍟
Agreed!
These trips are really fun to watch. I like that you show the meals, gift shops and vending machines and not just the view outside.
Oh my. It's been more than 30 years since I've seen a sunrise at sea (I was in the U.S. Navy in the 80's). You captured it perfectly.
Is it only a year? It seems so much more than that - so many trips, adventures, curries. Thank you once again for sharing it with us. The suite looked fantastic and so much room!

As someone who enjoys classical music, the best part of this video was the beautiful piano played in the background.

you're my kind of guy, after an hour and a half dinner with an ice-cream dessert you topped it off with more ice-cream!
The music in the grill is very relaxing dinner music. The meal was presented very nicely, too!
Thank you very much for a year of amazing videos!
The suite looked amazing, I've been in hotel rooms that aren't half as nice as that one. I liked the bathtub in particular!

I'm glad you recognize the curry problem
Congratulations on your first anniversary.
Happy One Year Anniversary 💫🌏⭐️ I loved your conversation with the curtain! “I’ve got you! 🤣
The dinner looked much better than the breakfast. The suite was just beautiful. I liked the carpet in the hall.
If only Australian toilets were that basic, we would all be very happy down under!
Sometimes I've wondered if STJ has a girlfriend. No worries! He has gull-friends!
I had a really bad day yesterday. But today was much better, then I found a new STJ video and it became VERY much better.

Prune juice . . . . a warrior's drink.
I like how they took the time to put a call box outside, instead of adding a handle
Congratulations on your first year. Hope there's many more to come!

Very nice! One of your best voyages yet. I must also agree about the meals. Stay well and keep them coming.
One year to 218k subs....must be doing something right!! I enjoy these travel/food vlogs! Keep on making them and I'll keep watching!
Well, I felt bad for the gull but felt good how beautiful your room was.
I like that you show us your route on a map. I also like your humor. Imagine how you would have felt if one of the food items at the grill was roast bird...
*sees new upload*
*sees that it’s 30min long*
DAY MADE.
Congratulations on your first year-Solo! My daughter and I have been watching from the beginning. We enjoy every trip and the new channel too! Your humor filled videos made this year brighter. Thank you!
Fantastic introduction and beautiful video 😊💕
That 25 minute walk to the ferry was long but worth it 😊
hell yes!!
was bored 😴
POW!!! Solo Travel Japan drops a video?
Let's rock
Happy one year anniversary! A great trip and a great channel, thank you.
Thanks! And cheers to a full year!
Thanks for the super thanks!
I really like this ferry. And I don't mind the limited food choices. The amazing cabin and views make up for it.
Now that's the way to celebrate the one year anniversary of the channel. Congratulations, Solo-sama. More great years to come.
Great video and beautiful trip. Congrats on the one year and here’s to many more. Kanpai 🍻
Beautiful video so fun
Yes!! New video!!!!
Another great video!

I'm a big fan of seagulls too! The one actually sounded like he was laughing at him! Lol
In my part of the world, we're not too fond of seagulls. We call them thieving little poo Stukas!
@@locutus155 The only thieves where I live are badgers and coyotes. We call them much worse names, lol.
Lovely cabin.
Congratulations on your one year anniversary!
Thank you for sharing your adventures! I lived in Japan and watching your videos is like returning home. I love your sense of humour 😂 Wishing you many safe and happy travels 🛳🚅🚎

Amazing video, thank you for the insight :D I hope to take a ferry like this one day!
One year anniversary.
Thank you for a year of wonderfully positive content. 😎

The sunrise was amazing with the island blocking a bit of it. I thought I saw Godzilla waving through the blaze of the sun!
You could probably order off the other menu but you would probably have to pay for it.
I can't wait to see what you are eating next!
I want to try so many different Japenese style dishes now.
Thank you!

this is the best i've seen of all the cabins for overnight travel...or even staying in a city
