Trying a Luxurious Overnight Ferry in Japan | Kyushu to Kobe
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- I took a luxurious overnight ferry from Kyushu to Kobe in Japan. I tried first class deluxe single, which was the best option for solo travelers. It was great value for the price.
Hankyu Ferry offers more rooms onboard, such as royal, suite and Japanese style. But solo travelers have to pay extra fees to book bigger rooms. I definitely recommend first class deluxe single (no extra fee) if you are traveling alone.
There are lots of options to travel Japan by overnight ferry. For example,
Japan’s most unique overnight capsule hotel ferry with vending machine paradise
• Japan’s Most Unique Ov...
$58 overnight capsule hotel ferry in Japan is beyond imagination
• Japan’s Overnight Caps...
Thanks for watching!
Your choice of no voice and no appearance makes the videos very relaxing. Too many UA-camrs make the channel only about themselves. Thank you!
Exactly what I always say. There's nothing worse than when you get someone who changes up their style and goes into presenting every video 🤢
It’s very refreshing to see these videos. Due to pandemic I cannot travel, but when I watch these videos, it feels like I’m right there traveling
Thanks for saying that. Hope everything gets back normal soon.
Same here. These videos keep me entertained. Thank you 😊
@@ayoitzgrant8120 Watching these videos made me feel i am actually travelling as well LOL!
These Japan overnight ferries look like a fantastic way to travel. Especially the fact there aren't that many passengers. I hope they can survive.
Main income of these ferries are from cars and lorries they're taking
@@SamHero_ Yeah, from what I gather, driving long distances in Japan often involves lots of tolls. So I'd guess, for big shipping trucks especially, it might just be cheaper to use the ferry.
Also, probably heavily funded by the government as part of the national defense.
@@SamHero_ Yes, also cargo.
@@codywarhawk7099 you’re completely right.
Your videos are comfy and very well edited.
I hope for the best to you and the growth of your channel!
I appreciate your kind words! Thank you!
Agreed on that,keep up the great work
The ferry looked really cool, at first I also thought it was a cruising ship. The lobby was astonishing
Yeah, the lobby was a big surprise!
@@SoloTravelJapan the Japanese ferry is more better than uk ferry
@@louisbeerreviews8964 I completely agree! So much better.
It’s very interesting to me to see just how different our breakfast choices are.
Remarkable!
You have many items for your traditional Japanese breakfast that to most Americans would be considered dinner items 😀
The fish, veggies and rice specifically.
The foods you eat in most of your posts seem to be, in general, much healthier than the American diet.
Smaller portions, more variety on a plate and healthier food 🍽👍🏼
My friend lived in Japan since World War II. He has passed on. I never had to chance to visit him. Thru your videos, I feel like he, my friend Harry, is showing me some lovely ferries, and ports of call. Thank you for your work.
I'm sick today, so I decided to spend the day on the couch, binge watching your videos
Feel better!
I've just found your travel videos and am hooked. Some day I'd love to visit Japan. It seems all their modes of travel - ferry, bus, train - are comfortable, clean and punctual. Attention to details and making travellers comfortable make all the difference!
Wow, these ferries look like cruise liners on the inside but without the crowd! Very nice way to travel. I would just sit by the window or outside with tea or coffee all day!! Well, unless it is singing "SUNFLOWER" all day.. then I would take the life raft.
This is my favorite travel/Japan channel.
At those prices, just spend every night on a ferry and tour all over the place. No need for hotels.
Agree. And everything is clean and shining. In Italy ferries are terrible
Yeah, we call that cruise ship
Totally agree to that .
I’m down with that! 😃😁
Very unique way to present travel videos, love the humour. It is very interesting way to travel. The vending machines and food is helpful for western eyes considering traveling this way. I am sure once covid goes away your channel will make these ferries very popular. Your videos will become very important in later years as archival footage of these ferries to future generations. Your about information should provide a little more background information as to why you decided to do them, it almost like train spotting in the UK. Congrats keep posting very enjoyable to watch, thank you.
You've quickly become one of my top favorite channels to watch and unwind from the day. 💝
My son was working in Japan last year when the pandemic struck. My husband and I were to meet him there and travel around with him. Unfortunately my son had to come back to Australia and the travelling didn’t happen but your videos make me want to travel in Japan so badly! You do a great job. Thank you.
I really enjoy your videos! I love the peaceful style, the informational subtitles, and the seamless editing! I am sad that I’ve almost watched all of them but I think I can watch them over and over. Thank you for your effort! 🙏🌹👍
So beautiful! Wonderful to watch! Enjoy no voice commentary. It is perfect!
I'm convinced watching your videos when I go back to Japan i need to take a ferry journey out of tokyo...All of these ferries you've been on seem pretty awesome experience for not so much and you get to see a different part of Japan.
Yamato, what a perfect name for a boat. Even the ferry building is beautiful. great video!
We dont talk about the battleship though 👀
What does Yamato mean?
@@prinzezze it was a province in japan
@@prinzezze Yamato was a province, but it was also an ancient name for Japan. It's still used as such in some senses, such as "Yamato nadeshiko" which is basically "ideal Japanese woman".
It's also a joke though, referring to both the "Hotel Yamato" in Manchuko during the era between ww1 and ww2, as well as Battleship Yamato's reputation(too expensive and important to lose, so it just sits in port and acts like a hotel for higherups)
10:20 me hoping you brought home the free slippers and green tea sachets haha
I do that everywhere I go 😂😂
Yeah! He didn't snag the tea packets! [I usually leave the slippers, because they're always too small for my big feet]
No shampoo and then no sun rise!!!!! I'm glad you found the sun and the sea looked beautiful. Another great video
The architecture of that ferry terminal is gorgeous!!!
Yeah it is!
The dinner menus lookedR fresh and delicious; “how can they make you ruin them whit self-microwave ugh!!!” So, I was happy to hear it was still really delicious.
The ferry looks liike a convenient idea, travelling while sleeping. My late mother found she got seasick on boats and laying down really helped her with that, so it would have worked for her to travel while sleeping. Your videos are very nice, showing all the different travel options and so on.
Thanks Pal, going to take this overnight ferry once I finished my Nagasaki Kaido Walk. My head home flight always KIX.
I am subscribed and really like your videos; they are very relaxing to watch without distracting chatter. And I like how you show everything I would like to see: tour of ferry, restaurant and room. It’s almost like being right by your side enjoying everything too!
Thank you for sharing with us! 🤗
My favourite part of this video is you trying to get that face towel out of the bag one handed 😁😁
I am a new subscriber and I LOVE your videos. I have watched many of your ferry videos so far. Most enjoyable, thank you
Bro, I love your videos. I'd love to travel, but even long-distance domestic travel gives me all sorts of anxiety. I can't even imaging what international travel would do. With these, I get a small taste of what's to offer and it's provided free of charge. Keep up the great work with these wonderful videos! :D
I am always amazed at how quiet the overall atmosphere on these ships are. If this were a ferry here in America, it would be loud with people all the time.
your videos are so cozy love watching them as i go to bed.
The ferry terminal looks real authentic 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
This boat is so big and luxurious. Some parts looks like a shopping mall!
Seriously jealous. That room was better than some of the more spendy hotels I've stayed it. Enjoyed the vid.
Not a bad price for the room and what a nice looking ship, deserving of its name, yamato.
I’m always amazed at how clean everything seems to be in Japan. I’ve been on a few ferries here in Sweden and other European countries and they were all quite run down and dirty.
These ferries are works of art in themselves. I will definitely try them when I can. The food looks amazing!
Thank you very much, Solo Travel Japan. This channel helps me to take away my stress.
Find the whole series of video's really reflecting your travels ,excellent
This is a beautiful ship! Wow! 🛳♥️
Traveling in Japan is so new to me since I have never been there but it is certainly rewarding watching these videos. I learn a lot and enjoy the varied cities visited and the food. Japan is more becoming a country to visit on my ‘bucket list’ and hope I can make it there someday.
I think the overnight ferry looks nice. I think it would also be nice to have a longer ferry trip where you can travel for a whole day and have all three meals on the ferry.
I really enjoy watching your videos, It's part of my routine before sleep
Really enjoy watching your video... please keep making this type of video....entertaining and informative at the same time
That is the most enchanting ferry terminal I will probably ever see in my life! The ship is also absolutely beautiful. You were so lucky to get to travel on it!
I enjoy watching your overnight ferry videos, each ship is a different experience! I also do enjoy your interactions with the vending machines and you relaxing at viewing decks, a comfortable thing to watch. Can't wait for your other videos as well, good journey friend~
He says, "I can't stop eating!" I say, "I can't stop WATCHING!" WTH is wrong with me?!?!? 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you @solotravel! The ferrys are a great way to travel, and affordable! Can't wait to visit Japan!
These are very enjoyable and relaxing videos. Thank you for making them!
Its amazing I would take the trip every weekend! Like a mini vacation!
Breakfast with a view...so lovely.
地元が神戸で、フェリーで神戸から宮崎に行く旅行を検討していたので、とても参考になりました。
「やまと」は未だ新しくて綺麗ですね。
神戸から宮崎に行く阪急フェリー「せっつ」はとても古くて、
「せっつ」で神戸から宮崎行きのフェリーの動画を見て少し躊躇してしまいそうでしたが、こちらは2022年4月から新しいフェリーに代わるという事なので、とても良い情報を頂けて良かったです‼️
ありがとうございました、とても参考になりました♪
Fantastic! Japan just does everything better 👍❤️🇯🇵
Not having vaccinations for Covid really surprised me. Put hitch in their step. That shocked me for such a organized country.
I would travel by these ferries just for the great food.
Now this is really really classy
A wild Ray Mak spotted.
Always get hungry when looking at your videos!👌🌹
Very relaxed. Sleep, eat and eat.
I´m really enjoying your videos, they are really relaxing and interesting, specially for people that can´t understand Japanese. Thank you and I hope you keep up uploading videos :)
I love watching reviews for hotel and rooms and apartment in japan, seeing the reveal of a large closet and the person being like "it's a spacious room :) ". I think a lot of north americans would feel trapped in this ferry room (and this is not a weight joke). It's interesting to see cultural differences like that.
Us North Americans do enjoy our personal space =)
Definitely taking this in Autumn!
Wow!!! The ferry is absolutely beautiful! Loving your videos
Thanks for your words! Yeah it was beautiful. More videos coming!
Japan ferries are the best. Here in indonesia we also have second-hand japanese ferry most of them used previously on aomori-hakodate route.
There are Ex-Silver Ferry's VEGA (now Dharma Rucitra) and Ex-Tsugaru Kaikyo Ferry's VIRGO (Now Jemla VIRGO-18). As i can observe these ferries are similar both on accommodation and facilities layout. Even though they used to be on different ferry companies.
Both ferry are now serving Bakauheni-Merak route in Indonesia. And VEGA is the best kept and maintained. They still retain most of the facilities onboard, including original tatami room now used as nursing room. Sadly bathing room are no longer accessible. But surprisingly their escalators and automatic doors are working perfectly.
Thanks for the interesting info!
Philippines also... 2 Hankyu vessels has been sold to the largest passenger ferry comapany in The Philippines this year
The former Yamato and Tsukushi are the largest passenger vessel serves in the Philippines
What a gorgeous boat! I’d like to say thank you for always including US measurements, prices and English subtitles. I’d watch your videos even if you didn’t, but enjoy them even more being able to understand the content better. ✌🏻🥰😊
The Japanese are just amazing. I may need to learn the language and go for a visit.
Thanks so much !!! Now I no what to expect
I really enjoy your videos and now want to try traveling by ferry around Japan. I was not aware of what it was like until you posted videos of your travels. We have taken a few big cruise ship tours (Princess, Celebrity and Holland America) around Japan but nothing like the ferries.
It looks like an excellent way to laze around and relax. When I can finally go Japan after COVID, I plan to experience these overnight ferries (and overnight sleeper trains).
Nice and calm video. I want to travel in Japan this way.
Thank you! I Binge-watched you taking ferries and I feel as if I've gone up and down the coast for days now. I never want to eat another microwaved vending machine meal again-- though I haven't eaten a single one yet.
When I was living in Shiga, I took a ferry on Lake Biwa, I considered visiting Hokkaido from Fukui by ship but I couldnt find the time sadly.
all you do is travel it seems! and visit all these nice places and traveling in style! thanks
This looks like a very fun and interesting way to travel, I would love to do this some day. Great video!🙂
The food looks mouth watering!
These videos fascinate me. Great work!
Love Your channel. Very satisfying to watch... Thank You... God bless..🙂
I love watching your videos! I'd love to travel on an overnight ferry! Thank you!
The old 2004 built YAMATO (195mx26m)of Hankyu Ferry now sailing in the Philippines renamed mv 2GO MALIGAYA together with her sistership TSUKUSHI now mv 2GO MASAGANA, started sailing 3 months ago the later just this month...
Hankyu Ferries have a very nice interior design settings...
So remarkable,what a beautifully organized society!
Japan is truly wonderful ❤️
I must visit this place
I think I'd love to take some travels to Japan.
Very relaxing 😊 thank you for sharing
Thank you for making such wonderful videos. Can't wait to go Japan again when we can travel
Thank you for saying that. I'm sure you will have good time here again.
Love your videos!
Thanks really good to watch, I didn’t know these were available around Japan. Similar to our Cook Straight ferry’s here in New Zealand. Laurie
Love your videos, we can't stop watching them! We would love to plan some ferry trips in Japan for the future.
Thumbs up. What a refreshing video.
That is one amazing looking ferry terminal!! I keep looking back at the titles to make sure these are ferries and not cruise ships because they are huge!! We have nothing like this in the US! I was wondering what a traditional Japanese breakfast looked like and now I know.Would love to travel by overnight ferry. Looks to be a comfortable way to travel. Although, I'd want a bathroom in my room. Not comfortable with a public bath.
Really enjoyed your videos, felt as though I was really experiencing this, loved the ferry travel and want to thankyou for sharing in this unique way just using text, perfect!
I wish I could get a breakfast like that here (US, Florida). I spent $6 this morning and all I got was a breakfast sandwich. Like, it was fine, it was good, but I was hungry again in less than two hours.
I really like how you were honest, for that I subscribed
You are amazing traveler, excellent going
Really enjoy going on trips with you 🙂
That was a really cool ferry station. Also I like your different views of the food as you're eating lol
I really , really enjoy your videos. Thank you
These vids make me so jealous (as an American) of all the cool different options for public transport in Japan. I wish we had all of this in our country. My city barely even has a functioning basic public bus system 🤦🏼♀️
I love your videos so relaxing
Beautiful trip thanks.😷💕👍
Good evening 😃. Upon arrival at Kobe, does the Hankyu Ferry sail back to Kyushu at nighttime?
Thank you so much for taking us with you in your travels 🙏🏻🙇🏻😊
the evening meal looks really good ... despite the microwave
Seems like a lot of fun
So cool! I’d like to travel this way.
