      I'm envisioning a scenario now where there's an influx of Westerners taking trips to Japan just so they can use Sunflower ferries for the express purpose of hearing that theme song. You just know there's going to be some weirdo who has enough money for it. 😆

      The only thing I hate is that they can't film inside the baths because Sunflower has an absolutely amazing bathroom layout with windows that face out to sea. It's a shame that most people on TH-cam will never see it.

    Electric kettles in England are using around 230 volts. You can buy them for the USA but here they use 120 volts so the current is high and may go near the limits on the electric circuit. In Japan the voltage can be 100, so presumably the water takes longer to boil in an electric kettle than elsewhere!
