The glow of dawn is amazing. To me dawn represents new opportunities ahead. Rest up and enjoy your ride over to Hokkaido. I’m sure lots to reminisce upon as you cross over where the Pacific meets the Sea of Japan. Live your dream. Rooting for you all the way. Go John!
I wish you a good sleep in the boat and a happy traveling in hokkaido. I cant believe that your journey comes to the end soon. I saw all your livestreams and I am a little bit sad at the moment, but I am happy too, because you show us the beautiful of Japan. :)
Hey John. Nice Video. Enjoying watching your travels. Say, you mentioned at 5:58 about the trucks taking the ferry because it is cheaper than the tunnel. Actually, however, the tunnel is only for trains, so the ferry is their only option to get to and from Hokkaido.
With all the other ferry videos I've seen I feel more comfortable watching you do it....man at the urinal...gotta go....about that sunrise.....it is the land of the rising sun John....lol
What a great video. Not only is that a glorious sunrise, but I love getting a glimpse inside of the Ferry boat! So you showed us 2nd and 3rd class passenger accommodations... what is 1st class like?
Welcome! I think I was subscriber 174 for this channel, and somewhere in the 70,000's for the main channel. It's always neat to remember how long you've been following someone. And since UA-cam doesn't give you start following dates, this is the next best thing. :-)
Xcaliber Trekker The shinkansen John is talking about is the Hokkaido Shinkansen. It runs through an undersea tunnel called the Seikan Tunnel that links Honshu to Hokkaido. It is the world's longest undersea tunnel.
I wonder why they would schedule a boat so early if it wasn't economically practical since there's such few passengers. I know they will still run a scheduled ride but over time they should have a good expectation of the number of passengers unless this is also a car ferry. Never mind, it is a car ferry and it makes more sense now.
Brendan PW I think he intended it as a pun since he told an amusing anecdote about his hiking boots falling apart at the sole and he had to glue them back together. 👞😅
Hayabusa! That's the name of the Japanese pro wrestler. Other than that, it means " The Phoenix 3". Phoenix as in the mythical bird that burns up when it gets old then, is reborn from its ashes.
Your right my bad. It is a Japanese Peregrine Falcon. It also can be the unman spacecraft launched in 2003, but I liked Hayabusa or H the Japanese Pro wrestler. He was a really nice guy, not to mention his wrestling moves.
So this is more your personal vlogs channel whereas OIJ is your professional journalism/presentations material? u're the Only youtuber i follow anymore John, youtube has become a cesspool of garbage content.
Andy P could be :) I live stream to be spontaneous and bring a story live OR get a chance to talk with people and share an experience. Being live is much more interesting to me, to see comments and adjust to viewers feelings, share more of myself n a freer medium. The main channel is certainly more polished and story driven. Together, it’s a nice combination or free & formed stories.

Philippines is also a maritime country and seeing this is lovely.

Have fun John. You look good for someone getting up 3:30am! Shoe Goo is what I use on my hiking boots. Don't know if they sell it in Japan.
With all the other ferry videos I've seen I feel more comfortable watching you do it....man at the urinal...gotta go....about that sunrise.....it is the land of the rising sun John....lol
i love the sound of the big TURBO ENGINE used on those big ferry.....
That's one cool ship 👍🏻
What a great video. Not only is that a glorious sunrise, but I love getting a glimpse inside of the Ferry boat! So you showed us 2nd and 3rd class passenger accommodations... what is 1st class like?

The boat's name はやぶさ(hayabusa) is a type of bird, it translates to "Falco" in English
❤️❤️❤️
Great as usual John. Please elaborate on the shinkansen and tunnel I don't think many of us know much about it. Thanks
Xcaliber Trekker The shinkansen John is talking about is the Hokkaido Shinkansen. It runs through an undersea tunnel called the Seikan Tunnel that links Honshu to Hokkaido. It is the world's longest undersea tunnel.
Almost home!
Morning John, I would love to put this boat ride in my future Aomori trip itenery, but 4hours seem too long, is there other type of boat ride?
Almost there. What's for breakfast today but more important, how are the boots?
i used to love taking the ferry in northern europe. cheap too, and many have a bar. ^_^ Did yours have a bar? =D
Good Night!

why not visiting onuma quasi national park since you head to hakkodate?
0430? now thats tough!
when i first rode a Japanese ferry i was surprised with the restroom. It's a squat type. lol
oh well... hajimete desu yo ne.
😊😊🙋♂️
😊😊😊
👍😁
ONLY in JAPAN * GO episode 26: Wandering Like a Lost Sole
*soul
Brendan PW I think he intended it as a pun since he told an amusing anecdote about his hiking boots falling apart at the sole and he had to glue them back together. 👞😅
Boomer you got it!
Well I guess i missed it since i didn't watch the whole video.
Get good sleep!
Wahhh. No body on the boat. Wow 3:11
name of the boat just like the speed motorbike Hayabusa
You are travelling quite far north. Sapporo is even higher than Oslo, Norway. So, the higher up you go the longer days will be for you like here.
I thought Hayabusa was a Shinkansen but now it is a ferry
I think the tour of the SS minnow was supposed to be 4 hours.
I looked it up .The original pilot had the SS Minnow doing a 6 hour tour.
The word "tour" implies you return on the same transport, the same way you came by. So, it's not a tour.
Hayabusa! That's the name of the Japanese pro wrestler. Other than that, it means " The Phoenix 3". Phoenix as in the mythical bird that burns up when it gets old then, is reborn from its ashes.

hayabusa is a japanese Peregrine Falcon that is known for flying rediculously fast. It's also the name of a well known Motorcycle.
Your right my bad. It is a Japanese Peregrine Falcon. It also can be the unman spacecraft launched in 2003, but I liked Hayabusa or H the Japanese Pro wrestler. He was a really nice guy, not to mention his wrestling moves.
BlueHokage and a Japanese wrestler
i thought you and the captain only why are their other people?
Chris tian He meant initially, then others started to board.
Hey 👋 so can you read Japanese? I'm loving this journey 🙂
Guy Woodward jr Yes, he is very fluent in Japanese. He's lived there 20 years. 😄
Livestreaming a bathroom. LOL!!!!
