That ferry looks like nothing compared to ferries between Helsinki-Stockholm. Go google silja serenade and you'll see what a proper cruise ferry looks like :D
@@oskarioskari3689 it is a ferry between cities in Japan not a cruise between countries so they are different. We need apple to apple comparison, if required.
@@elainechan9998 It's a cruise ferry, it's there for entertainment. If you wanted to be practical you'd fly or take the train. This route is 2.5 hours by Shinkansen, or 1 hour and $120 by air. Japanese famously take short vacations so they wouldn't have time to go on an international cruise: this is the substitute.
I've been on UA-cam since it basically started, and of all the phases it's gone through and trends, THIS is the best kind of content there is. Calm, informative, direct, and coy when it can be. It always brightens my day to learn about a country before a visit too. Beautiful ship as well! I love Japan :D
oh dear, you are "You Tube" since it basically started? MrBluePick, get bent...also check your VPN.....you are not anonymous, your IP is public, as well as your physical location. posting to a random website, puts you at risk....knock, knock, "who's there?".....who the fuck is there? lol....
These videos are great self therapy 👍 my wife and I love watching! Her jaw just dropped when she saw the buffets, rooms, she even loves the capsule rooms. 🤩 This Room is OUTSTANDING!!!! 😲....🤯
These videos are so cozy to watch. I'm reminded of those moments in Ghibli movies where the characters don't talk while doing mundane things and it just feels magical without being magical if that makes sense.
I saw the sunrise train video and Immediately got interested. You really go into depth about the features of hotels/boats/trains. Keep up the good work man! I know it’s hard right now but we’ll get though this, all of us!
@Mr Music Try hotels in Australia, so expensive! I just stayed at IBIS Style in Canberra a few days ago, it's like a crapy motel, cost me A$240 (approx. US$185) for a night.
Travel in Japan can be quite cheap if you're prepared to do a bit of research and avoid high price "luxury" and "optional extras". The price of that trip seems less than the cost of hotel room and the train trip.
Thank you for the videos. So refreshing to see a Japanese person doing a video on Japan. I hope a personal comment is not inappropriate, but I think you are nice looking. Be well and take care.
"Have you ever been on the ferry? What is transportation like in your country?" When & if you'll be able to come to Italy a ferry ride you could enjoy is the night ferry from Naples to the Aeolian islands, leaving at 8pm and arriving in the main island (Lipari) at 9.30am, stopping at every island before that, and in particular at Stromboli at 6am... meaning in the right season you could arrive when it's still night and full moon (like what happened to me a few days ago...), Stromboli is always erupting, and seeing the island from the ship with only the light of the moon, the stars and the red of the eruption is really worth the trip. The ferry isn't as nice or new as the ones in your videos, but it's still quite good and was built in the early '90s.
Thanks for posting, after a hard day at work I find these type of videos so relaxing, especially no annoying commentary and no nuisance muzak Also it is fascinating to see how incredibly clean and well presented everything is, I love the minimalist design
@@larapalma3744 you* And I'll only get to travel if someone else pays and goes with me. Being poor and having severe anxiety greatly limits what one can do, especially with no support system. 😞
What a beautiful video. I discovered your channel recently and I like the way you respect the privacy from others when you are filming. For me it is a great way to see what public transport and scenery in Japan is al about: awesome!! Well, public transport here (in the Netherlands) is reasonable good. Trains are running at least every hour, often more frequent, and on many lines from 5AM till 11PM-1AM. I must say: this is a small country so that makes things easier in that matter. But... Punctuality is something the Japanese are champions in: we will never come to that high level.
Not only clean and organized, but the cookies have the silhouette of the ship right on them! That is attention to detail on a level not seen anywhere else. This was lovely.
There are so many reasons to love these videos, I’ve seen three now. Learning about places I know I’ll never see, audio without voiceovers so it seems like I’m really there, such outstanding facilities, even the captions are cute and delightful. I subscribed and look forward to seeing many more.
I think this guy is way cool! His comments are hilarious. He is very appreciative of every detail, is so careful to close doors or anything, as if he respects the attention to detail. I’ve gone on a sleeper train ride and a ferry boat cruise with him. Well done dude!
My wife and I took the two-night ferry from Travemunde, Germany to Helsinki, Finland on Finnlines in 2017, which was a great experience. When we were in Japan in 2007, we took the (now-discontinued) Cassiopeia train from Sapporo to Tokyo after having taken the Seikan Tunnel tour (also now discontinued) the previous day. Thank you for these travel videos. I enjoy them very much.
nice, quiet, relaxing, informative, not pretentious. most of travel channels are full of people talking too much, trying to look as coolest as possible, and pretend to be professional critics of food and travel. you are just simple and natural.
I watched this after seeing the Sunrise train video, which was so peaceful and pleasant (both the train and your video!). I love the ferry--we have many here in Washington State of USA--but yours is very impressive and big, like a luxury hotel! When you showed the tea early in the video, I made a cup of rooibos tea myself and enjoyed it while I watched the rest of the video. When you made the same tea before bed, I raised my cup in toast to your video! Very peaceful, serene, pleasant to watch! =D
Because the ferries in Japan have to compete with the local airlines, Shinkansen, Intercity Buses and even regular Express trains, so they made the ships even bigger and more luxury for attract the passengers that not-so-hurry. Nowadays the most important passengers of ferries are long distance trucks and their drivers, for preventing the risks of night driving and help reducing the CO2 emission.
I have been on ferries in Washington State. I live in Eastern Washington State. The two ferries I rode weren't that clean and the weather was terrifying. The crew on the Spokane (name of the ferry and my city)were so incredibly rude it felt as though they didn't want you there. As I said the weather was bad. The ferry had a roll and an up and down movement that had my land lubber husband green. It slowed down a 1.5 hour trip to 3 hours! And driving off the Ferry was um... interesting to say the least! Thank God the Island was small, the people warm and inviting, the B&B spotless and the food impeccable! They understood my green husband and gave him a drink to settle his tummy (Alcohol I suspect). So after a terrible ferry ride and hurricane like weather, the B&B was a wonderful end to a rough day! While my husband slept off the ferry ride and cure I went shopping.
@@marshamoore8385 I'm sorry you had a bad experience! I've ridden the Washington State Ferries dozens of times and have never once had a bad experience, but I guess it does happen sometimes. I always feel very privileged to get to ride the ferry! I'm glad the rest of your trip went well.
@@Josh_Fredman I think the attitude on the ferry had something to do with the storms. A whole week of them and extremely rough water. Ours was the last run for them that day because of the weather. Now we have a very small open ferry here in Eastern Washington State. It crosses the Columbia river. It's also free! It can carry 4 cars or 1 truck and 2 cars. Last summer a Longhorn Barbecue was coming back to Spokane from a big catering job. The crossing can take 1.5 hour's at times. Because of the big truck and the current we were slow. Well the Longhorn people opened the back of the truck and all of the food left was shared with us and the two ferry operators!!! Oohhh my goodness!!! Yummy yummy yummy. We pigged out, turned on my car stereo(a very good one), and had a party! The ferry guy's said it was the best crossing ever! I do think so too. And we all got free food to take home!!!
I love watching your videos. They are very relaxing. We don't have ferries in the US like you have in Japan. I would love to take one for a vacation. Thanks for your videos. Susan
I think your videos are wonderful! You take your time & let us see everything. And you don't talk incessantly through the video! I love that! I can experience things better in quiet. Thank you for posting the videos. You have gained a new subscriber.
Looking my goodness when they showed the characters of Galaxy Express 999 I flipped with nostalgia. I'm 51 yrs old and I remember watching Galaxy Express when I was a kid. Kudos for sharing that bit of history Thank you😃🏯😃
I really enjoy watching your video; I found it accidentally. You have given me an experience of what is like to be on the ferry. Your style is so gracious and respectful of others and everything. My husband and I speak of traveling to Japan one day; we admire your culture. For now, I will enjoy Japan through your videos, which allow the viewer to sense the experience as if one was there. Thank you for allowing the viewer to have this unique perspective of your travels: a calm, immersive walk with you. 😊 Take care of yourself and be well and once again, thank you very much! 🙏
I like the way how you include all of us with your tour by saying "We are staying......" , I adore Japan... I really wish I get a chance to visit it. Thank you for your videos. Love from India🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
One of the first things I say every morning, while looking out my bedroom window, is "Good morning, world." It's a nice way to start the day. I wish I had the view you had, but I like my view, too. This ship, and the room you were in, are luxurious and beautiful! Thank you for once again bringing us on the journey with you!
It amazes how so polite the Japanese are. On any other cruise ship, you’d be swerving between people, screaming and yelling over each other, trying to find a place to stand
If it was not for COVID I'm sure it would have been quite crowded. My experience in Japan 50 years ago is that they are reserved and polite. They do not wear pajamas to the store and are never fat. Lol I rode on a train there once and it was very crowded. The men were sitting and the women were standing in the isle and they were all staring at us because we were twice their height, almost. Lol
I am from Canada and most people use their vehicles to get around. We do have a ferry in BC to get to Vancouver Island and a ferry in Newfoundland to get to the island. We also have trains and airplanes. Bus services have stopped because of a horrible incident a few years back. I enjoy your quiet tours!
Kuga you have a very curious and beautiful way to experience travel. Many people in world we should learn to enjoy life like this. Even it invites me to learn japanese. Thanks from Barcelona.
Wow, my eyes are so pleased after all those wonderful scenes of the sea. This video is so peaceful, it felt like I just went on a mini-vacation myself . Thank you so much for your work, especially for the length of the video!!! Looking forward to your next ones ;-) P.S. Your room is so spacious, if it weren't for the window next to the bathtub ( WOW, what a view it must be!!!), I would forget I was on a ship....
@@wernerdanler2742 the name literally translates as "red bush" it's a herbal tea native to South Africa, grown in the Western Cape.

As well as as being drunk as a tea, it's also used to flavour baked goods, and is used in soaps, creams and skincare products.
I've been on a ferry from Gourock to Dunoon in Scotland when I visited a few years back. Though I wish I've been on more, especially in Scotland. My family were ship builders for generations and it always make me proud to see a well built ship.
The room and bath accessories was a nice plot twist but the toilet and bath demo left me confused. The cookie reveal helped transition back to the original narrative.
From Canada 🇨🇦, I’m on the eastern coast, our roads half the time are no better than dirt roads, filled with people who don’t know how to drive, from here we have 1 passenger train/week (since covid) that heads out westbound. Mainly to go any distance people either drive like they are a raceway 24/7 or drive the 30km or so to the airport and fly as things are pretty spaced out. There are ferries that go to Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island from here, I’ve been on all the ferries for those but not the train
I have been on the ferry between Denmark and Faroe Islands, on a stormy night. The cabin I shared with 3 other classmates, was windowless. I loved it though. You can travel back and forth to Iceland to Denmark, with a stop at the Faroe Islands. It is great to do this in the summer months, since it is light out pretty much all the time the further north you go.
Your video's are so thoughtful, interesting, yet gives the viewer time take in everything. That is quite rare. Please don't stop making your videos they make me feel like I'm home! Thank you.
My family’s first visit to Japan took us to Osaka, Kansai. We visited Kyoto and Nara and Hiroshima and stayed at a ryokan in the mountains. That was nice. Our second trip we returned to Kansai, we travelled with our Japanese friends to Kobe, Shirahama and Nachikatsuura and couple of other places. That was also nice. Our third visit was mainly in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura. Our most recent trip before the pandemic, we spent in Sapporo, Otaru before returned to Tokyo. We went on trains, cars, Shinkansen etc but not on cruises. Your channel brought back the memories. Thank you!
I've lived in Japan for more than 20 years, but have never taken a trip by ferry (and I love boats!). Thanks to your videos, I'm beginning to think about it. Unfortunately I live on the coast in Toyama now, which doesn't have any major ferry routes, so I would have to travel to Niigata (or maybe Tsuruga) to catch one...
I made this trip when I was 14 years old (1972). My family lived in Fukuoka and I went to school in Kobe (Canadian Academy). The ship we were on was not nearly as nice as this one. We were in second class, there were 10 of us to a single room which had a tatami floor with futon provided. At least it wasn't third class, which was right above the engine room with at least 100 folks in a single "room." This video brought back great memories of my youth.
This is the second first class/luxury trip I’ve seen in Japan and I am shocked at how much cheaper it is to travel first class in Japan than in the United States.
About 20 years ago I took a ship from Dalian to Tonggu, China. It was like a prison ship. Metal floor, old metal bunkbeds rivetted to the wall and a toilet. There was a shower but it wasn't working. An interesting trip.
Yeah. The trip is the star of the show. You can just be there and enjoy all the details without someone pointing you to look at something. You can just take it all in yourself.
A breath of fresh air, love this style of informative videos. Not like al those so called travel vlogs by people who are more into exposing themselves instead of the actual topic. Please continue making these brilliant videos. One day hope to travel to Japan, so much culture, natural beauty and combined with cleanliness and politeness.
If this video was made 4 months ago and comnents are real time. The reason why people may not like this video is simply COVID and travel restrictions. I love these videos myself but long for the real thing!
This is a ferry, which carries passengers and freight between two ports, not a cruise ship that only caters for holidaymakers. The top grade cabins onboard are very good and as you point out, everything is very clean. Your videos are informative, entertaining and pleasant to watch, so please keep posting them. They are good travel promotion for Japan! :)
i'm from Indonesia, we have so many ex-Japanese ferries still in service, and i'll be honest even they are old, they still working great, from the design aspect, they are far better than Indonesian made ferries.

It amazes how so polite the Japanese are. On any other cruise ship, you’d be swerving between people, screaming and yelling over each other, trying to find a place to stand
If it was not for COVID I'm sure it would have been quite crowded.
My experience in Japan 50 years ago is that they are reserved and polite. They do not wear pajamas to the store and are never fat. Lol
I rode on a train there once and it was very crowded. The men were sitting and the women were standing in the isle and they were all staring at us because we were twice their height, almost. Lol
I am from Canada and most people use their vehicles to get around. We do have a ferry in BC to get to Vancouver Island and a ferry in Newfoundland to get to the island. We also have trains and airplanes. Bus services have stopped because of a horrible incident a few years back. I enjoy your quiet tours!
Marine Atlantic will need to step their game up. Of course then it’ll be $500 per person to get to Nova Scotia 🤪
Kuga you have a very curious and beautiful way to experience travel. Many people in world we should learn to enjoy life like this. Even it invites me to learn japanese. Thanks from Barcelona.
You're my favourite UA-cam channel ever! I always look forward to every video you post; hoping you'll upload more videos in the future!
Wow, my eyes are so pleased after all those wonderful scenes of the sea. This video is so peaceful, it felt like I just went on a mini-vacation myself . Thank you so much for your work, especially for the length of the video!!! Looking forward to your next ones ;-)
P.S. Your room is so spacious, if it weren't for the window next to the bathtub ( WOW, what a view it must be!!!), I would forget I was on a ship....
This was interesting to see the Rooibos tea, here it is indigenous and one of our proud exports
I love rooibos tea!
It surprised me too, I had no idea it was popular over there. So nice to see a great local product pop up in unexpected places.
Never heard of it and I drink a lot of tea. India tea.
What is it and where is it from?
@@wernerdanler2742 the name literally translates as "red bush" it's a herbal tea native to South Africa, grown in the Western Cape. It's hugely popular here and has many health benefits including being high in antioxidants and is a good anti-inflammatory. As well as as being drunk as a tea, it's also used to flavour baked goods, and is used in soaps, creams and skincare products.
Dang, thats a nicer room than pretty much any hotel Ive ever been in.
These are some of the most relaxing videos I have watched in a long time. :)
I love all of your videos. Makes me feel like I’m travelling along beside you!! Thanks 🙏🏽
Your comments make me 😊😏😉 a lot!! So continue to make me and us discover Japan!!!
I really enjoy your videos, they make me feel like I am actually travelling along. Beautiful views, especially near the bridge ✨
Omg! A ferry with body pillows on the beds! I have never even seen that in a hotel!!! That ferry trip looked absolutely amazing!
I've been on a ferry from Gourock to Dunoon in Scotland when I visited a few years back. Though I wish I've been on more, especially in Scotland. My family were ship builders for generations and it always make me proud to see a well built ship.
Picture and subtitles tells everything! No annoying commentary! Feel so relax to enjoy your video! Thank you for you excellent job! Subscribed
You have a great channel and seeing Japan again is wonderful. I love to go back!
As someone who loves to travel but doesn’t get to do it often due to funds & as of late, the pandemic …
I love watching these!
It's like a mini cruise ship. This made me reminisce my trip on the Quantum of the Seas back in 2019.
this ship looks nice but nothing compared to Quantum of the Seas, its like a moving island.
@@bombbomb3872 It's literally a city on the ocean. Such good memories on it. I can't wait to cruise again once all this is over.
Such a wonderful, Zen experience watching your videos. So peaceful!
The vid is so relaxing 😌
What a beautiful experience. Both the Sunrise train and this beautiful ferry . Truly a joy in these uncertain times. I hope to see more. Thank you.
The room and bath accessories was a nice plot twist but the toilet and bath demo left me confused. The cookie reveal helped transition back to the original narrative.
From Canada 🇨🇦, I’m on the eastern coast, our roads half the time are no better than dirt roads, filled with people who don’t know how to drive, from here we have 1 passenger train/week (since covid) that heads out westbound. Mainly to go any distance people either drive like they are a raceway 24/7 or drive the 30km or so to the airport and fly as things are pretty spaced out. There are ferries that go to Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island from here, I’ve been on all the ferries for those but not the train
This was done beautifully. I thoroughly enjoyed our trip ! I could almost taste the steak...
This channel is one of my favourties by far... So relaxing.
That's very cool! The rumbling of the ship as it cruises seems very soothing.
I have been on the ferry between Denmark and Faroe Islands, on a stormy night. The cabin I shared with 3 other classmates, was windowless. I loved it though. You can travel back and forth to Iceland to Denmark, with a stop at the Faroe Islands. It is great to do this in the summer months, since it is light out pretty much all the time the further north you go.
Your video's are so thoughtful, interesting, yet gives the viewer time take in everything. That is quite rare. Please don't stop making your videos they make me feel like I'm home! Thank you.
My family’s first visit to Japan took us to Osaka, Kansai. We visited Kyoto and Nara and Hiroshima and stayed at a ryokan in the mountains. That was nice. Our second trip we returned to Kansai, we travelled with our Japanese friends to Kobe, Shirahama and Nachikatsuura and couple of other places. That was also nice. Our third visit was mainly in Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kamakura. Our most recent trip before the pandemic, we spent in Sapporo, Otaru before returned to Tokyo. We went on trains, cars, Shinkansen etc but not on cruises. Your channel brought back the memories. Thank you!
I love the peacefulness of your videos and the great information you provide. These are perfect reviews of these trips. Love it! We miss Japan 😎🥰👍
Thanks for the cruise we loved it. Planning a trip there for our 80th birthday
Beautiful. I cant imagine trying to sleep after drinking tea, though. I would be up for hours.
Rooibos tea is caffeine free!
I enjoy a caffeine free herbal tea in the evening. Especially Chamomile tea which is known to impart restful sleep.
That was a very enjoyable video well done I wish I was on board the ship to smell the sea air 😊👍🇬🇧🇨🇦❤️
I've lived in Japan for more than 20 years, but have never taken a trip by ferry (and I love boats!). Thanks to your videos, I'm beginning to think about it. Unfortunately I live on the coast in Toyama now, which doesn't have any major ferry routes, so I would have to travel to Niigata (or maybe Tsuruga) to catch one...
I made this trip when I was 14 years old (1972). My family lived in Fukuoka and I went to school in Kobe (Canadian Academy). The ship we were on was not nearly as nice as this one. We were in second class, there were 10 of us to a single room which had a tatami floor with futon provided. At least it wasn't third class, which was right above the engine room with at least 100 folks in a single "room." This video brought back great memories of my youth.
This is the second first class/luxury trip I’ve seen in Japan and I am shocked at how much cheaper it is to travel first class in Japan than in the United States.
About 20 years ago I took a ship from Dalian to Tonggu, China. It was like a prison ship. Metal floor, old metal bunkbeds rivetted to the wall and a toilet. There was a shower but it wasn't working. An interesting trip.
Lovely! I enjoyed it watching from home in Texas, USA! Thank you!
Covid canceled our Japan vacation last year. Watching this makes me more excited to visit when the pandemic is over. Thank you.
It's kind of an asmr travel diary. Me like 😁
14:25 Cannot get over how beautiful that view was, w the fog/cloud cover. Amazing. Also can't get over how *clean* everything was on board
What a great treat you had there! I have never been on a cruise and hopefully one day I will experience it there in Japan. All the best!
I love watching these video’s. It’s so relaxing. The morning view was beautiful. I felt like I was there with you. Thank you for posting!
I miss Fukuoka, i went with a ferry to Iki Island when it was off season. Really loved it.
Those were some nice beds in the room. The transportation in my country is a van down by the river.
I love how there's no commentary in these videos.
Bleeding edge production concept.
Same
I also hate those people spitting in English. 'Hey guys!! today we are at XXX whoo hoo!!'
Yeah. The trip is the star of the show. You can just be there and enjoy all the details without someone pointing you to look at something. You can just take it all in yourself.
@@jbloveday9538 The funny thing is the Japanese version of this video has music. Kuga also narrates some of those as well.
A breath of fresh air, love this style of informative videos. Not like al those so called travel vlogs by people who are more into exposing themselves instead of the actual topic. Please continue making these brilliant videos.
One day hope to travel to Japan, so much culture, natural beauty and combined with cleanliness and politeness.
If this video was made 4 months ago and comnents are real time. The reason why people may not like this video is simply COVID and travel restrictions. I love these videos myself but long for the real thing!
Awesome country with awesome people!! Viva Japan!!🇯🇵🎌🇮🇪👍😀
11:09 INDIA we love TEA. Nice video.
I love your videos! I love the silence! Just enjoying the experience along with you! I can’t wait to come to Japan and travel on this! YAAAAAY!!!
Your videos are so wonderful. Beautifully shot and edited. I love cookies too :)
💖 Love from America
This is a ferry, which carries passengers and freight between two ports, not a cruise ship that only caters for holidaymakers. The top grade cabins onboard are very good and as you point out, everything is very clean. Your videos are informative, entertaining and pleasant to watch, so please keep posting them. They are good travel promotion for Japan! :)
Muy buenos tus videos, son muy tranquilos y se puede respirar la calma, buen trabajo 👏👏👍
I like this channel... There no irritating talk.... No over music.... Very nice... All the best... Only visuals more important...🌹🌹
Hi, I love it how relaxed and easy you do everything!
I love your travel videos 😊
love from Bangladesh
i'm from Indonesia, we have so many ex-Japanese ferries still in service, and i'll be honest even they are old, they still working great, from the design aspect, they are far better than Indonesian made ferries.
