I am just a middle income man from India. I never even dream of visiting Japan with my income.. But I always feel that it is one of the most beautiful and interesting nation in this world. Thanks to you Sir, for providing me with the opportunity to visit the land of the rising sun through your lense.
That chicken breast ...almost killed me! That little package flip got me laughing so hard I almost fell off the chair! You really have a great sense of humor! 🤣
I would feel a bit nervous having just a curtain to secure my capsule room. I'm not sure if it would offer much protection against sea monsters or ghosts. That said, it did look like a very clean and well-maintained ferry.
What a relaxing video! Truly superb. It always strikes me how complete the meals are in Japan from what I’ve seen on this channel. When you order a meal, it’s a full meal, not a 10$ sandwich with nothing else. These meals are always colourful and full of variety! And so affordable And the snacks are adorable. Those might be for kids but I will cheerfully squish the little toe beans of that candy before eating it
I was chuckling as quietly as I could when you stated that it looked like a medical examination room - so accurate. I am pleased that it was reasonably comfortable though, and seemed very roomy for a capsule. Happy travelling!
Thank you Solo San for another relaxing video! I may never get to Japan but you offer me a pleasant gateway of sight, sound, and taste. All with a wonderful sense of quiet humor!
This could be the setting for a game in the style of _Return of the Obra Dinn._ Solo wakes up in a creepy hospital cubicle on a deserted ferry with no memory of how he got there, and has to figure out what happened to everybody and how to get the ship to Akita by himself. It could have survival mechanics. Each chicken breast chip restores 5 HP.
I had to smile at the chicken breast snack, were there six in the pack? (as in a six pack) They looked so dry, you needed that beer to rehydrate. An interesting cabin, you were right it did look like a doctors examination room! Although it was clean, the ferry itself looked good and what a beautiful/peaceful sunrise you were greeted with. Thank you.
I really thought that chicken breast snack was going to be the Japanese equivalent of Chicken in a Biscuit snack we have here in the US. Boy was I wrong!
I'd love to know more about STJ, (call me nosey 😂) *Where in Japan are you from? *Where has been your favourite place to travel to? *Would you like to travel anywhere else in the future? *What food from another country would you most like to try? Please consider a world trip with food discoveries, I think it'd be great to follow you along and experience new things with you fab witty commentary!
@@rally8391 I didn't see these comments until now. This is exactly what i thought, if STJ found my questions acceptable he could answer either here or in a video (maybe giving him a video idea😁) and he loved my comment so fingers crossed. Some like to be unnecessarily rude and will comment/reply to stuff behind a keyboard that you can almost guarantee they wouldn't say to anyone in person. Thank you for standing up for me.
I read a poem by Walt Whitman associating lilacs with death. He wrote it in 1865,after the death of Abraham Lincoln. Does seem a little spooky there on the ship!💕🍱⛴️
I was so happy to find another trip today. Chicken chips (ok I admit I giggled) the paw candy isn't just for the young but the young at heart. Thank you for another fun trip. From Phoenix, AZ USA
The Entrance Hall looks so festive. I like it! That room DOES look like an exam room. Not too sure I'd be comfortable in there! Hope the day continued to be as nice as it started out! Such a pretty sunrise!
They turn the lights off in the corridor, so you have to guess which cabin is yours, and they're only closed off by a curtain, not a door you can lock? Sounds like a great way to meet new people (if there ever were any other people on these ferries, which there never seem to be 😶)
I was curious after reading 'creepy' in the title and you are right, a bit creepy. The capsules actually resemble those cubicles of a quarantine centre in China but with a little more privacy and a personal TV. Your joke about the chicken chips made me laughed, I wish you hugh success building your abs, LOL.
I’m so sorry but that is by far the creepiest ferry trip yet! I keep waiting for the horror to happen besides the terrible snacks. I think you’re the only one on board that sterile hospital horror ship!😂
Thank you so much for the video the sun was so beautiful. Would love to hug you and say thank you your making my pain better was in a huge car accident due to old lady skipping a robot. Need to tell you that bed area looks haunted hospital lol I would not sleep there. Hope you day was good,😊
I loved onigiri when I lived in Sakai shi 1995 to 1997. I would buy one every night, and breakfast time from Lawson, along with spicey chicken. Oishii.
Great trip. Especially this trip only short hop between two cities in same island or coast to coast. That chicken breast snack is funny. When I see dark hall/corridor, I was thinking about something jumpscare/running to the camera.
HAHA you are so funny :D Shame it was only 6 hrs. The room was kind of 'emergency room' style but had all you need for a very short stay. Great sunrise in the morning.. the first smile of the day :) Take care & hope to see more soon, longer if possible :D
An interesting journey. Your capsule room was very nice . . . much nicer than a standard capsule. Super sunrise. I was surprised to see a helipad on the ferry. Looked like a good breakfast. Awaiting to see where we'll go next. Take care and be safe. 😊
As usual I prepared myself to watch video by eating curry wurst and french fries and then you tell no food served on that ferry! Fortunately you had very satisfied breakfast at the terminal. Huh. Do you know that real dog paws smell like popcorn, but I have never tasted my doggie’s paws. 😎 Thanks for the video!
I have no appetite some days thanks to a medication side-effect, so I'm actually eyeing those chips. Them having not much flavor might actually be something of a bonus, if the texture works for me.
It must vary depending on transit systems, but in North America I’ve always boarded busses from the front, as that’s usually where you pay or scan your transit card etc. Then exit out the back.
Wow, the price was certainly right, but as a woman I would be very uncomfortable about a curtain instead of a door. Examination room! Lol Yes it certainly did look like that. What I love about this channel the most is the lack of other people. I would want to travel more if I thought I could have this experience.
I lived in Japan and never experienced any harassment the entire time I was there. I'd even walk home late at night by myself. Not saying it doesn't happen because it does, a lot, but you're less likely to be targeted if you're a foreigner.
@@centuryrox Normally, I do too. But I stayed at a capsule hotel once and it wasn't bad at all. The bathroom was very clean. Just try to go to one that isn't so populated with tourists because they're the ones that make places like that not as clean.
Konichiwa Solo San. When I looked at the prelude to this video, I was sure you were going to tell me the ship was HAUNTED, When you said it was CREEPY, I though there would be ghosts abot. DAMN!!! I was disappointed. This was on short trip. I would have liked to have seen what breakfast was like on "LILAC" Have a safe trip. Sayonara!
Lol, hilarious. I guess it's creepy when you're getting used to the other first class accommodations. Chicken chips? We have chicken jerky stateside. Would have reminded me of that but chicken jerky is not crunchy. Lol.
Sometimes I really think you are the only passenger onboard. Don't get me wrong but it makes me wonder if the ships gain any income at all, looks like very few people ride ships. But I was happy to see other passengers, maybe business isnt so bad? Love your content, keep it up!
I wondered at the logic in having a ferry run between two ports on the same shoreline. It was your final remark about the ferry when I realised this was only part of its route. I'll bet you chose this route because it arrived around sunrise! 😄
Tbf these ferries are mostly used for cargo. That's why there's not a lot of people on board. I guess transporting goods are easier on sea than on roads. Probably cheaper too
@@deckarddwizardd1909 It may have been this channel, or another. It was stated the tolls for using the highways are so high, it's less expensive to fly or take a ferry to your destination and then rent a car.
The ferries are mainly for truck traffic. Japan is an island covered in mountains. Roads, bridges, and tunnels connect the entire Japanese mainland. However, highways are often narrow, winding, and steep. Most of them are tolled, so they're expensive. The Japanese conventional rail system is also too small and the rails are too narrow to handle decent amounts of cargo. That leaves ferries at the remaining cargo transport option.
@@straightpipediesel also @Patrick in Ottowa amd @Deckardd Wizardd - Thank you all for sharing that knowledge. I did not ealise it was expensive to drive goods around Japan. Good viewing to you all.
They should have added some small lights above the capsule numbers so no one accidentally walks into the wrong one. 😱 I noticed the baby crying and I was wondering if you were going to comment on it, and happily for me you mentioned it after the meal. Ha!
That baby was just hangry and those meal looks good, especially the egg. it's not as creepy as the other ferries you've taken though since this one is quite new.

Technology is so cool.

I agree 100%! 😆
He does have great comedic timing lol
Screw the comedy, I want to know what they taste like lol
Even when the lights are on, the hallways are creepy because it looks a lot like hospitals in horror movies
I agree. I guess bringing some friends would make up some joy there.
I'm sayin they should at least add some tvs and wallpapers
@@SkullHaed Didnt you see.. he had a tv!!
@@ellem2293 i ment in the hallways lol
@@ellem2293 Hospitals have TVs! lol

Sea monsters, ghosts, or other passengers, come to that. No, thank you, I'll have a room with a door, please.
I almost choked on my Cracker...
i was expecting curry and rice..
I want ABS to !!
Always enjoy your travels, food selections, and witty comments.

@@centuryrox
Do they still make Chicken in a Biscuit? As a kid I would eat a whole box.
@@georgeglass4105 Yes they still make them, although the box is smaller and the price is larger. And yes, I would eat a whole box too!
@@centuryrox
You can't put a price on nostalgia.
I'm on a mission now. Thanks
Always love traveling with you. You make them fun and entertaining. I love that you tell us the costs too.
That chicken was ripped!
I like that you try different options for different budgets, it is always nice to see what the options are!
Thank you for the new content, I really love these videos. They are my part of my evening calm.
such a beautiful morning in Akita
LMAO: I thought your capsule looked like an exam room when that popped up on the screen. You make simple things so entertaining. Thank you.
Ну а что, хороший паром, уютная и просторная капсула, интересен такой тип путешествий. Благодарю за видео!
Прикольно!!! Я был в Японии, у них эта тема развита, сам моряк, когда вдоль Японии идешь, много встречается паромов.
14:45 what a beautiful sunrise
Very cool! Love this video a lot. Always happy to see something new from you!

I feel like I’m on a little trip every time I watch these videos. ❤️❤️❤️
Finally after refreshing for 3 hours good content thank you.
The lobby was very nice. I liked the rain effect with the lights and the colorful umbrellas.
The Entrance Hall looks so festive. I like it! That room DOES look like an exam room. Not too sure I'd be comfortable in there! Hope the day continued to be as nice as it started out! Such a pretty sunrise!
So beautiful 😍 that is the color of our clouds now 😍
That chicken package got me 🤣🤣🤣🤣
That glass of water with your breakfast was vibrating as though it was on a ship.
Wow, when those abs start taking shape and the magic powers start kicking in there will be no stopping you.
They turn the lights off in the corridor, so you have to guess which cabin is yours, and they're only closed off by a curtain, not a door you can lock? Sounds like a great way to meet new people (if there ever were any other people on these ferries, which there never seem to be 😶)
That breakfast looked amazing! And what a peaceful morning!
What a sunrise....
It certainly does have a hospital feel to it. Oh, like the lights going down in the main area.
The food looks too good , it makes me hungry .
Watching this at 7am, thinking how delicious that breakfast looked!
I was curious after reading 'creepy' in the title and you are right, a bit creepy.

Wonderful thank you...You have a great sense of humor...Spooky corridor where is everyone? I always look forward to your 🎥
What a nice relaxing channel in this turbulent times.
I’m so sorry but that is by far the creepiest ferry trip yet! I keep waiting for the horror to happen besides the terrible snacks. I think you’re the only one on board that sterile hospital horror ship!😂
8 minutes ago...OK I'm very happy 😊 I have something to watch tonight ☺😊😄😌
I like the entrance hall and the cute candy. The sunrise was lovely.
One of the nicest breakfasts I’ve seen you have. Simple and tasty. We almost saw you in the window reflection at the end 😃👍
i was told there would be curry, where is the curry ? 😂we want to see you eat curry ... and desserts. btw another great clip
Excellent taste in beer there, perfect with snacks
Sunrise at 4am? Wow. Land of the Rising Sun is well earned.
Haha nice little adventure. That fried egg was like "icing on the cake"!! Thanks again for taking us (your fans) along!!
I vote for later-in-the-morning-arrival time journeys. Too early for me. 😎😊
Nice simple ferry trip. Beautiful sunrise! Thanks 🙏
That yakisoba looked so good! Perfectly made.
That food in Akita looked delicious!
I 💗 watching you on your trips! Thank you for sharing! I love your humor as well! I literally lol at least a cpl times during your videos!
Great video! Your little bedroom looks like you're having day surgery at the hospital 😂
How beautiful, wish world peace
Thank you for all the videos that you continue to make : )
I really liked the footage of the ferry leaving
Thanks for taking us along
I like the old-school look of Niigata station
Those noodles you had for breakfast looked delicious !!!!!
Yes a tad creepy room - lovely sun rise and a short journey
The dog is so cute
When I saw the video Always I need to eat something
You push me to eat thank you
cant wait to ferry around Japan!
Thanks for this nice travel.
Thank you so much for the video the sun was so beautiful. Would love to hug you and say thank you your making my pain better was in a huge car accident due to old lady skipping a robot. Need to tell you that bed area looks haunted hospital lol I would not sleep there. Hope you day was good,😊

Wow beautiful country Japan thank you
I am so jealous Beer and chicken chips lol what a life! Smooth sailing on the ferry haha wish it was me
I may be old but some of these arrival times are so early in the morning haha I am on about my second pee break of the night at 5 am 😂
Good video.. Thanks for sharing 👍
So now we know... Flavor means no abs. I will go with no abs. Thank you for taking us with you!
Love everything about your channel . Thank you.

I have no appetite some days thanks to a medication side-effect, so I'm actually eyeing those chips. Them having not much flavor might actually be something of a bonus, if the texture works for me.
I guess it feels creepy because of less people, like an unusual sight we see in a Ferry. Thanks for sharing this!
It must vary depending on transit systems, but in North America I’ve always boarded busses from the front, as that’s usually where you pay or scan your transit card etc. Then exit out the back.
Love the way you describe food and tell us how much it cost. Great video!
This guy's the best. I never miss his video's. Everyone else should just pack it up and go home!!!
You made me giggle with the chip flip 🤣
In tagalog, fired noodles is referred to as "pancit". we often eat instant pancit with fried egg.
Your videos are always great!
