There is a youtuber who posts as "Solo Travel Japan" who spends a lot of time on ferries and other forms of transit. He is also VERY fond of his food and one learns as lot about Japanese food and geography watching his vids.
That looked like a fine way to travel. Much better choice than the train I think. Always nice to see menus with photos to choose from when you don't speak the language. Think the room with the balcony is the best because you can sit and enjoy the fresh salt air. Hello from beautiful Corvallis Oregon.
Great video Tim 👍this ferry brings back memories of the Royal Caribbean ship, but without the all-inclusive meals. It's such a fun and relaxing way to travel 😄There's something truly magical about a late-night cup of instant ramen 🤤
Travel by sea is so wonderful. And to be able to get up and walk around, take a sauna. That's perfect. I will keep this in mind if I'm ever in Japan again.
It is interesting to see you on this ferry. You have a room with 2 beds. The bathtub comes with a hand held shower head is super cool. It is very seldom that you can find a hand held shower head in even the expensive upscale hotels or motels. The other thing is there don’t seem to be a lot of passengers in the cafeteria or other areas of the ferry. You seemed to have ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with no one around to have a conversation with. I guess that is fine since you were doing the TH-cam video for us to watch 😃
It wasn't a full boat, but there were a few other people, but not too much. Kind of fun to travel by ferry and it was quite relaxing. I think this is one of the few days that I ended up not talking very much to people. Most of the passengers on the boat where from a tour and most don't speak much English 🙂
That looked like a fun and relaxing adventure! You're the only guy who can have a cup of instant noodles, and make it seem like a gourmet meal lol. Cheers Tim :)
Thank you for showing & sharing this 24 hour Ferry Ride with us.. it's another unique way to travel but your Food excursions and amenities is wonderful to watch.. it was interesting to see you walking around the Deck in a robe looking for Instant noodle. Show how comfortable you are when one is hungry !!! Thanks for this Video !!
It was quite fun exploring the ship.. however I do need to mention that I have noticed other people wearing the rooms around. I would normally not walk around in a robe outside 😉
@@TimLeeLetsGo I guess the ones I watch don’t show it. I love watching them. You should hook up with one of them and do a ferry ride or buffet. Some of them have buffets.
This was so grand, Tim! Your videos are so relaxing and personal. I’ve watched lots of videos about Japan and this was my first time seeing a ferry like that. What fun!😊
I discovered Japanese ferry's during the pandemic. An account called Solo Travel Japan has a channel that highlights his travels on the different ferries. I always enjoy your videos Tim and I'm glad you had a safe trip.
Fun! I am a big fan of Japanese travel videos, especially the ferries and trains. Shin Nikonhai is the ferry line, you showed the name of the ferry in the beginning. It looks like such a fun, relaxing way to travel. The room was very nice too. From what i have seen from being an armchair traveler, Wifi on Japanese ferries is almost non-existent.
It's a wonderful experience to travel overnight on a ferry. There was a ferry with lots of vending machines but no restaurant. And the last one I rode had a buffet, not a lot of choices but the food are delicious. The trip I really enjoy was riding those trains going to remote or rural areas. Fun to meet people and beautiful scenes around Japan. 👍 Now, some rural areas have Costco and fastfoods like here in the US and I had fun with their 7-11 or any convenient stores. 😁
Wow! A buffet on the ferry 😃... Definitely a nice way to travel and it's nice to explore on the train as well. I got one of those Jr passes that were kind of nice to be able to travel anywhere 😃
what a nice adventure at sea...and it looks like you ate well enough...I was just talking about breakfast curry with a friend this morning he was stocking up on his favorite Japanese curries when we took his daughters on a trip to an Asian grocery for a little shopping run and some lunch here in town...no sea view but it was good.
It was kind of fun to walk around in your room outside never got a chance to do this before. I noticed many people doing that beforehand before I ventured out 🙂
I'll be on that ferry in October. Going from Maizuru to Otaru. Can't wait. Is there any official merchandise? Like the coffee cup. Would love a souvenir.
Hi, Tim...Wow...they call that a ferry 😮🤔😂...the lobby was exquisite, looked more like a cruise ship...have a great time in Kyoto....safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s just a lot of fun to visit and connect with everyone here no matter whether it’s food or other travel aspects.
FYI Tim - In Japan, most accomodations are charged by the person. You paid $240 as a single in a room with 2 beds. If you were sharing this room, the second person would also pay $240. That is, $480 for two people in this one room. Kinda sucks.
I'm not sure about that. I watch Solo Travel Japan and he is always traveling by different ferries, and from what I have understood, he always pays the two person rate when traveling in rooms, there is no single rate on double occupancy. There also aren't any single rooms on most ferries, they're all double unless you book a pod or a space on the floor.
I used to take the Kobe to Matusyama ferry in the 80's. I don't think it's necessary anymore. That was a party ferry. The best one is the Shimonoseki to Pusan, Korea express! Party on Garth!
Hi Tim, thank you for sharing this with us! Usually when we're in Japan we travel by train but this looks like a much more relaxing and enjoyable alternative. Quick question, how rough was the sea during your trip? Did you ever get motion sick or notice others getting sick at all? My husband gets motion sickness easily and I'm just wondering if a ferry would work for us.
Tim what a great way to add to ur adventures. I love this Ferry and u on it, to show us there r other ways of travel than flying. I just loved all the food choices/options u had. Thank u so much for sharing with followers and me Hahaha. Warmly Cookie K 🤗
Hi Tim that’s a nice ferry experience you had, the package is a fair deal I believe. The food is great, it looks quite tasty. Glad you had a great experience
You certainly opened up the vid with a beautiful trip on that ferry. I put this vid in the top 3 that you have allowed me to view! Thank you for all your time and effort!❤
I love these ferries!! But I have severe motion sickness so I will never ever experience them. So thank you for letting me live vicariously through you!! 👏👏👏
Thank you for taking me on your journey on the Ferry while your in Japan It looked very relaxing! This is a trip l would love to enjoy. The views are nice. And it is nice that they have a arcade room. Glad to see you enjoying yourself! Very smart to have your Google translator.😊❤

Nice ship, looks so calm and peaceful.
the food on this ferry is a lot nicer looking than other ferry videos I have seen, looked fresh and delicious.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!!
It's a bit of a different video, and a bit of a different way to travel, but lots of fun 😃
Tim ThT dinner looked absolutely divine

Hello again. Definitely one of the more interesting ways of traveling. Very enjoyable and the balcony does help 🙂
How very interesting. Thank you Tim.
Tim!!! Definitely bucket list journey!! Congrats on getting to 100K subs, cannot think of anyone more deserving.
It's a nice way to travel. Thank you very much🙂

It was definitely a different but fun way to travel. It was a good cup of noodles 😋😃
Sooo happy you documented your trip. What a wonderful adventure!! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much! A bit of a different video but a lot of fun to capture the travel experience 🙂
Relaxing to watch. I get seasick so sailing via your channel was pleasant without the 🤢….Thanks for taking me along. 👍🏻🌹👍🏻
There wasn't too much motion on the ferry, but I did notice some Phantom motion when back on land
Never seen anything like this!!! Amazing!!! Thank goodness for google translate!!
The translation tool certainly came in handy 😃
Hello 👋, wishing you have a wonderful day and safe travels 😊

I watch Capsule Japan and several others similar. I have never seen anyone going around in their robe. You’re so precious. Love you kid.
There were other guys in robes when he was out and about!
It was kind of a unique experience to walk around outside with your robe. I noticed a lot of the other passengers were wearing robes around at night..

@@sharonm.2453 I loved it. Tim is Tim.

It was very interesting to watch a different version of the ferry. I'm pretty sure STJ has been on this ferry!
Traveling on the overnight ferry is kind of fun. We will definitely check out the channel to see how their experience was.
@@sharonm.2453 - when I saw Tim enjoying the curry rice, I kind of giggled! :D
@@Lucybell783 OMG, so did I! It was like some sort of curry rice parallel universe! I so desperately now want these two to meet and eat!
A very peaceful sleep and eat all day separated by very relaxing hot soaks. Life at its best. Cheers.
It was quite enjoyable though it was a lot of eating I noticed 😉
Thanks for this. Been watching that Solo Traveler guy do this but wondering if non-Japanese would be able to replicate
You have an incredible life with all the traveling that you do. The ferry looks terrific.
Very nice experience. It looks like a cruise ship. 👍🏻👍🏻🌹
It certainly is a lot bigger than the fairies we have around here in Vancouver 😉
Thank you for your hard work. I never ride on ferry since I living in Japan. Staying away from instant noodles my personal recommendation.
The ferries are quite nice. The noodles were tasty but agreed, only once in a while
Fun! I am a big fan of Japanese travel videos, especially the ferries and trains. Shin Nikonhai is the ferry line, you showed the name of the ferry in the beginning.

Thank you so much for clarifying! The language was a bit of a barrier on the ferry, so the translation tool really came in handy 😃
Looks relaxing, and the food looked surprisingly good!
Very relaxing Tim, thank you!❤
To the person reading this, even though I don't know you. I wish you the best of what life has to offer 🙏 🙌😊❤️
That ferry is beautiful! Looks like a cruise ship. Love that full bath!

So peaceful & calm.

You going around the Ferry in your robe gave me major "Home Alone" vibes! What a calm, cool, luxurious,and relaxed experience !! 💕
It was kind of fun to walk around in your room outside never got a chance to do this before. I noticed many people doing that beforehand before I ventured out 🙂
Every video you make is perfect
@@TimLeeLetsGo❤
Looks like great fun! Thank you for sharing!
Is there a longer video of you trying the tonkatsu at Hajime?
Nice video. What a nice ferry. Great info. Nice trip. Thanks and take care.
I liked this. It was really different but you were still your delightful self.
Definitely a very different way to travel, and it was fun
All is right with you Tim you noodle slurper!! Excellent video
LoL thank you🙂
Congratulations on hitting 100K. I enjoy watching your channel. I need to catch up been so busy.
Tim Lee .. I have only just found your channel,I really enjoyed your video.Thank you for sharing.Blessings from Australia.😊
wow! that ferry looks like a cruise ship!!! nice!
I'll be on that ferry in October. Going from Maizuru to Otaru. Can't wait. Is there any official merchandise? Like the coffee cup. Would love a souvenir.
‼️‼️ Wow what a Crazy Cool Ferry ⛴️ Trip 💯💯💯👍😀
Wish they had this in the States along the coast.
Hi, Tim...Wow...they call that a ferry 😮🤔😂...the lobby was exquisite, looked more like a cruise ship...have a great time in Kyoto....safe travels and God Bless 😘🤗❤
Thank you Jade, it was kind of like a small cruise ship indeed 🙂
Great channel, man! Merci beaucoup 🍻🍻
Wow,that ferry is awesome 🥰!
Very nice ferry ⛴️ it almost rivals a cruise ship. Never been on a ferry that long. Just ones that were about a hour max. Thanks for the video Tim.
Looks amazing Tim. Good to see you branching.out a bit. Maybe a foray into airline food or hotel reviews. Your so good at it.😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment. It’s just a lot of fun to visit and connect with everyone here no matter whether it’s food or other travel aspects.
I look everyday for your post you let me see places and food that I want to do
Thank you so much for your kind comment 🙂

There also aren't any single rooms on most ferries, they're all double unless you book a pod or a space on the floor.
I didn't realize that, I thought you were just paying for the entire room. Such that the prices are by the room and not by the passenger.
Hi Tim another beautiful video and Japan nice 👍🏻👏🆒
Thank you so much🙂
I used to take the Kobe to Matusyama ferry in the 80's. I don't think it's necessary anymore. That was a party ferry. The best one is the Shimonoseki to Pusan, Korea express! Party on Garth!
Hi Tim I think that's really cool how the phone did the translation 👍😊🇹🇹
A balcony! I mean that is pretty cool brudda and another great Vid
Lol. Just be wary of anyone with an eyepatch and a parrot on their shoulder if you're worried about walking the plank
LoL, still surprised that some of the things I say in the videos 🤦🏻♂️😉
"wait -a -minute" you can walk around in a bathrobe? lol
I was surprised too, I did notice many people doing so in the evening
Wow that's really nice
Nice vid, something different
Looks like you had the whole ship to yourself
It wasn't a full ferry with a few people there. Enough that the dining room is full at the beginning of service. Very enjoyable and lots of room 🙂

I think you should do a proper cruise as the food is good and included in the price
What a life you have... I really envy you🥂 you r the best of TH-cam. I love you. It was epic... Amazing 🚬 lots of love tim.
Yqw, Tim...a bit too fancy to call it a ferry 😂
Tim 😃
Hi👋
winging it! :)
😃
Surprised they are still using keys for your room; especially for Japan.
There's just something nostalgic about it 🙂
How long are you in JPN for ? Is it hot in the summer over there ? I've been to JPN twice but only in November.
Were there any other passengers on the Ferry?
Tim, always enjoy your videos! But just want to mention that we should not be sticking our chopsticks in the rice.
Oh, did I do that again? 🤦🏻♂️🙂
Yep, at 15:52 mark 😊
Why is the ship so empty?
10:20 -- instant noodle. They serve it four times a day in the Japanese prisons.
🤔
@@TimLeeLetsGo The Italian Job
Do you live in Japan or just passing through
He's Canadian, visiting Japan.
Just passing through and enjoying it very much 🙂
You said instant noodles makes the world right? Instant noodles gives me diarrhea and makes my blood pressure go up.
It is quite tasty... But once in a while only 😉
Nicest ferry I've ever seen. 😊
It was almost like a little cruise ship 😉
A nice 1 day cruise! And, congrats on hitting 100K, Tim!!
It was like a tiny Cruise ship. Thank you so much again! Any plans to visit vancouver?
@@TimLeeLetsGo Nothing solid, but if we do, we'll reach out for sure!
Great fun. Thank you for sharing ❤😊
Thank you🙂
Tim, love this video. You make traveling to these places seem so simple, and you're so easy-going in these. Thank you for sharing this trip with us.
Congratulations Tim, well deserved!

I love these ferries!! But I have severe motion sickness so I will never ever experience them.
So thank you for letting me live vicariously through you!! 👏👏👏
It's interesting because I don't feel the motion while on the ferry but being back on dry ground, I feel Phantom sways and movement 🤔🙂
@@TimLeeLetsGo I think that's called getting your land legs back. 🤣🤣
I hope the swaying away!! 👋👋👋
Looks like a different type of trip. I liked how you changed it up.
This was great. I like the vending machines, Japan is well known for. The food definitely looked amazing. Cheers, Tim and God Bless! 👍🏻👍🏻✌️🇨🇦
What a beautiful and gracious way to travel...Japan looks like a place I would love to visit...ty for taking us with you ❤
It was quite fun. I hope you get a chance to visit japan. It can be as busy or as quiet as you want it to be 😃
So enjoyable! Thanks for sharing!⛴🍽🍵🍜🍚🍖🍦🤗
Thanks again, it was kind of a different way to travel and lots of fun 🙂
Japan ferry at night looks interesting. However the foods always good looking and delicious I. Sapporo. Thank you for a other great video.
This was so interesting, Tim. Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much.. was kind of curious about traveling by ferry in Japan 🙂
Thank you for taking me on your journey on the Ferry while your in Japan
It looked very relaxing! This is a trip l would love to enjoy.
The views are nice. And it is nice that they have a arcade room.
Glad to see you enjoying yourself! Very smart to have your Google
translator.😊❤
Sir onetime you must visit Kerala( India) back water house boats in 24 hours
hi Tim, excellent video. Do you research and plan your trips or have an assistant to help?
