I can’t explain why your videos are literally the most calming serotonin inducing things I’ve ever seen, but they are and I’m always so happy when a new one pops up 😭
Easy..I'd say in part it's kind of an Eastern vs. Western style thing. Where a Western traveloguer would likely babble the entire video, the Eastern ones I've seen (including Solo Travel Japan, Kuga's Travels, Dancing Bacon, and others) just stick with the natural sounds of the trip. Of course, that doesn't prevent the travel company from providing their *own* theme music.. :-)
Same! I almost can’t explain it! My spouse calls this channel “one of my quiet UA-camrs” maybe that has something to do with it, it feels to my like halfway between VR and a good book!
Every week, I travel with a friend whose voice I've never heard, whose face I've never seen, to places I've never been. How fascinating it is, to feel such kinship with someone I know only through camera work and captions. And yet, you are the very best travel friend with whom I could have hoped to see Japan. Thank you for taking me on so many wonderful trips through your country. It's such a pleasure to be able to see Japan with you...even though I hardly know you. I know your manner, your gait, your kindness, your sense of humor...and these are wonderful things. What an amazing world we live in. When I was a young child, the idea of computers in our home was inconceivable. Now, I travel Japan, from my armchair, with someone whose presence in my life feels like a friendship. I would notice, if you stopped sharing videos. I would miss you, and miss "our time" traveling, even though you did all the traveling, and I simply "joined" from my laptop. You are doing something amazing, and something awesome, here. Thank you so much for traveling with all of us.
I confess, I was a little disappointed not to hear the Sunflower theme song when you boarded - but I hummed the tune to myself. I agree with the comments of others that the ship was very attractive and the room and its amenities looked very comfortable. No way a US cruise ship would have a bathtub in a single room. (Most don't even offer single rooms.) The food looked good too.
Lol was gonna say everytime I see sunflower ferry written in a UA-cam video now the theme song screams in my head 🤣🤣🤣 🎶sunflower sunflower 🎶 .. over and over again 😂😂 I hope it stops once it's departed or does it play the whole cruise ?
Laura from Atlanta here. I wonder if the Sunflower people realize how many people on the other side of the planet and who have never even stepped foot on one of their ships are singing "Sunflower, Sunflower. " I have my Google Earth pulled up and am looking around Beppu. Another extraordinary place, another extraordinary video. Keep them coming, good sir! 🌍🌎🌏💜🇯🇵☮
I love that this UA-cam channel gets it. When I want to watch videos of things I normally never see/experience in another country, it's always some person who goes "HEY WHATS UP UA-cam, TODAY I"M GOING TO TAKE A SOLO BOAT TRIP IN JAPAN" and it takes away from the experience because they feel the need to talk throughout the whole thing. Here I can just take in the experience of the sights and sounds and not be distracted by someone talking all the time. Thank you for making these.
As soon as I saw it was a Ferry Sunflower episode the theme song popped into my head, so no, it was not only you!! And we even got to hear it again when dissembarking. I wonder how a buckweath husks pillows feel like, I don't think they are very common outside Japan. At least I've never seen one before! The comforter looked very nice, I'm sure it was very cozy at night. The food looked great once again, now I'm craving some miso soup. As always, I'm looking forward to a new episode!
Here in the US, they were made available over 20 years ago. They're under the brand Sobakawa. I have two of them and I LOVE mine! I have to take mine with if I go anywhere because I can't use regular pillows anymore. Sobakawa also makes a non-buckwheat husk version, but I haven't tried that. I love my buckwheat husk ones too much! You can get them on Amazon. While they claim a natural cooling ability, that's never worked for me. They get just as hot as a regular pillow. If I get hot, I just flip to the other side.
Buckwheat hull pillows are great! They can be heavy, though, so hard to pack for a trip. The nice thing is after you've used one for a while, you can freshen it up by leaving it out in the sun for a few hours, and it will come back fluffy and fresh. And they conform to your head and neck shape for greater comfort. I use a buckwheat pillow along with one filled with little macaroni-like tubes that are similarly comfortable (though not as environmentally friendly...). I can no longer sleep on a standard down- or polyester-filled pillow--they're too soft and I feel like I'm suffocating.
I wish that in NE US we had ferries of this caliber at that price! The accommodations look very comfortable and there is enough to do on the ship that would interest me. And the food! The buffets offer a good variety at a very reasonable cost. This type of low-key sea travel would be more enjoyable for me than the frantic glamour of a cruise ship.
@Justin fenningsdorf Years ago I took several European river cruises, back when they were informal and affordable. Now they try to mimic the big cruise ships and they're horrendously expensive. These ferry trips are more like the river cruises used to be, comfortable, informal and easy on the budget. The buffet food looks quite good!
@@PeachWookiee Me too! But where would they go? Bear in mind that these ferries depend almost entirely on trucks for revenue. Trucking companies can put a truck and driver on an overnight ferry and it's still moving while he sleeps; or just the trailer and have another driver pick it up in the morning. Alaska, on the other hand, takes two or three days and would be too far for that to work.
@Justin fenningsdorf There are several you can do. In 2003 we took the Queen of the West from Portland up the Columbia and Snake rivers and back. It was an awesome trip!
@@PeachWookiee Yes! Me too. Our ferries here in Washington, have zero comfort or glamor. It would be awesome if we had some big ferries like that, that traveled to Portland Oregon, then down to San Diego California. We are so behind times when it comes to Train & ferry travel.
I only have to read the title so hear "sunflower... sunflower..." 😄 I am glad, that you did not had to hear it the whole time! Did I see a nice delicious Curry Rice with the cakes? 😉 This is the cabin I would take, but from Beppu to Osaka, if.. when.. visitng Japan is possible again! Thank you so much for sharing your trips and the food with us STJ-san! Domo arigatou goisaimas!
The Sunflower theme runs through my head all the time. See sunflower seeds in the grocery store, "Sunflower, Sunflower". I glance at my neighbor's garden and I hear it again. I saw a pattern on a piece of fabric and that tune rang out in my head. Talk about an earworm!!!
My sister and I love that every time you eat, you clean your plate! it's always impressive to us. often times you pick the food that we would pick if we were there. the food is one of our favorite parts of your videos. We're looking forward to your next video and the delicious chanpon noodles!
With so many trips you have made and posted on YT, the ferry companies should give you a discount for showing the world how nice traveling on Japanese ferries is.
After months of work, I can finally binge some Solo Travel Japan! Wifi and cellular connection has been bad, so it feels like I’ve been living in the 19th century
Your room is nicely outfitted. Great amenities and dinner choices. Nice to waved goodbye. When you walk on board alone, that is thoughtful. I enjoy traveling peacefully. Perfect experience for you.
I don't know Solo, I had some no 'life saver' regrets after seeing them waving from the gangplank. It looked like an overall nice trip, even though it rained it looked like some really calm water. Seeing more people up and travelling is a nice change. It was nice of them to wait till morning to do the karaoke so all day you can go...Sunflower....sunflower. Thanks Solo.
It seems this trip had a lot of people on it, might be the busiest trip I have seen. And thank the spirits for the sunflower song only playing as you left, I don't want to live thru the horror again..
I think your videos are great, not rushed, you also type what food you got on your plate. This time there seemed to have alot more people than ususal. You seem to be the only one on board on the other videos. Anyways I really enjoy your videos thank you from Canada.
The song!!! "Sunflower Sunflower" I swear it could be the backdrop for an amazingly creepy horror movie. The right lighting on the ship, the song playing and MURDER!
I agree I wonder if solo does like fan meet and greets would be cool to meet him one day or kuga 👍 I know some of them don't show their faces on camera bit I love them all the same 🤩🤩 there's a cool female one too that does similar trips from.a female pov
Although the ongoing music would drive me nuts if it played all night and I could not turn it off, I LOVE it that the staff ALWAYS waves goodbye. It makes EACH sailing something special… no matter how many times one sails with them.
Thank you so much for sharing your newest adventure with us. I am so sorry you didn't get to see a beautiful Sunrise. The food look amazing & your room looked very cozy. But, I was surprised you did not take a bath this trip. 😊
I'm always so delighted when you post new videos. I love your channel and consider it the best one of all this style of YT channel. Thank you for sharing your travels with me!
It's so different and wonderful that port crew members in Japan always wave goodbye to the ferries ❤ thanks for sharing these amazing adventures with us!
Another great video and surprising to see the wavers on the boarding bridge. I can't wait to go to Japan once they let tourists in because these videos of yours have really helped myself plan journeys and to keep our sanity through this pandemic - you should be awarded The Order of the Chrysanthemum for your work I like how you always point out what can and what can not be taken home because you know I'd jam anything into my bag wasn't nailed down
Lol me too I do that in motels take any unused soaps etc home but not towels . But cute how some ferries etc have their own towels you can take home like the mini logo ones (think designed for the baths or saunas) I'd prob just pack my own towel and take that as a souvineer I love the stamps you can get of the ship on a paper in shop too I don't know Japanese writing so idk what the writing says down it .. maybe date and time of journey ?
Being in the other side of the world…it so nice to see these wonderful places in Japan and ships and trains and food and everything! I especially love the natural sounds and everything the traveller shows! 👍👍
i am actually sitting on my bed at 5 pm in the morning and waving back to the guys of sunflower ferry...they are amazing . 😁🌻........and this video also ⭐
What a great experience. Good-looking food too! Thank you Mr. Solo. By the way... The 🌻song is on UA-cam (so that anytime, people can turn it up loud and re-live the trauma), I imagine it is getting an inexplicable number of views.
You always deliver a very nice and beautiful travel video, whether a ferry, train or hotel. Thank you very much for taking us along. I love the eating and food parts the best :)
I just realised something: in 2007, an all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Tokyo International Youth Hostel was JPY600. 15 years on, and prices havent changed much at all. I miss Japan...
Sun-flow-er, sun-flow-er 🎶 The jungle from hell 😂. I think it was a nice ferry and a great room for a single person. The comforter cover is smart because it can be easily washed between customers.
I thought we'd get more Sunflower theme in this episode like last time, but I'm also glad we didn't! This was another calming, wonderful video. I still think you should at least try the arcade game once if you can, but if not, that's okay :).
Enjoyable ferry trip. Love the way the comforter was encased, also nice slippers. Your dinner looked scrumptious, especially the roast beef and the desserts. At least the Sunflower song was played in the morning . . . something like reveille Will definitely see you on your next trip. 😊
I always enjoy your video ❤️ love the food part and I hope u do more culinary travels too. And I also hope the sunflower watch your last video too so they'll know what bothers the passengers on board. Also the sea in the morning are always beautiful, regardless what circumstances their in 😆
Hahhaha “cold cold cold” you are hilarious! And totally light saber regret!! They’re so friendly to wave you off! Always look forward to your videos (and the food channel too)! :)
so i have come to the conclusion, to only watch your vids when im eating something, all the meals you have look so good, so this morning i was having breakfast and watching, cant wait for the next one
Thank you again for another amazing trip. I don't live close to the sea, so this is fascinating for me. I look forward to the next video, and have watched all of your videos!!
I can’t explain why your videos are literally the most calming serotonin inducing things I’ve ever seen, but they are and I’m always so happy when a new one pops up 😭
I watch his videos before bed, and I'm out like a light. Zzzz
Easy..I'd say in part it's kind of an Eastern vs. Western style thing. Where a Western traveloguer would likely babble the entire video, the Eastern ones I've seen (including Solo Travel Japan, Kuga's Travels, Dancing Bacon, and others) just stick with the natural sounds of the trip. Of course, that doesn't prevent the travel company from providing their *own* theme music.. :-)
I completely agree! Even the announcements are calming.
Same! I almost can’t explain it! My spouse calls this channel “one of my quiet UA-camrs” maybe that has something to do with it, it feels to my like halfway between VR and a good book!

"Because all you need is passion to wave back"... I loved that! ❤

@@rachaelk7866 me too!!!
Im from sweden come visit me🥶
"great abs" caught me off guard and a laughed super hard!
I have had a very rough few weeks, when you said ‘the rice said yes’ i burst out laughing. Thank you I feel better 😘
I find the tradition of the port crew waving to be so charming and delightful.
At airports too Kyra. I love that! Take a look at some flight reports.

@@shirokumakogyo I think the rustling would drive me insane. I like that they look very supportive, though!
I love how the terminal crew wave goodbye in most of your videos. The world needs more of that right now. Just simple acts of kindness 💜

These videos are very calming; they really help after a rough day at work.
You don’t know how much I look forward to these ferry trips. Since I can’t travel right now…it feels like I’m actually there.
"Great abs" omg that made me laugh so hard. Your humor always comes through in these vids. XD
I'm glad I'm not the only one who immediately heard the Sunflower theme song in their head when they first saw the ferry!
A great opportunity to calm down before bedtime. Japanese fairy tale overnight. Very good content.
I only have to read the title so hear "sunflower... sunflower..." 😄
I am glad, that you did not had to hear it the whole time!
Did I see a nice delicious Curry Rice with the cakes? 😉

See recommendation, click thumbs up, then watch video with a contented smile on my face.

I would be so at home with that buffet.
Thought we wouldn't notice the cheeky serving of curry rice at dinner eh?
Looking forward to part 2 :D
This looks like one of the most lovely trips. Good accomodations, good cheap buffet food, even the rainy morning is nice.
With so many trips you have made and posted on YT, the ferry companies should give you a discount for showing the world how nice traveling on Japanese ferries is.
You showing how to adjust the room temperature is peak comedy. I laughed so hard at this
I love watching you eat. You seem to enjoy eating so much. I also live your ferry trips.
After months of work, I can finally binge some Solo Travel Japan!
Wifi and cellular connection has been bad, so it feels like I’ve been living in the 19th century

I haven't even watched this yet and I can already hear the echoes of that theme song repeating over and over and over and over again in my head.
I love these videos! You are very funny! The great abs and karaoke is canceled tonight made me laugh very hard. I look forward to next video. Thanks!!
I'm always so happy to see the port staff waving, it's such a little thing but always gives me a big smile!
I think your videos are great, not rushed, you also type what food you got on your plate. This time there seemed to have alot more people than ususal. You seem to be the only one on board on the other videos. Anyways I really enjoy your videos thank you from Canada.

Yes! Waving people and (finally) the sunflower song again! Great trip, the food looked really good
Your videos are the proof: No dessert is as good as Curry Rice!
The waving light crew in the corridor made me laugh out loud. Also, that bed pillow is so small. I'd need about five of those to be comfortable.
I like the goodbye waving!
As soon as I saw sunflower, the song popped in my head. Now I can’t get rid of it. 🎵🎶sunflower…sunflower…🎵🎶
The poster for the new 2023 ship looked like people dressed in street clothes, were out in the Water and waving to the ship to come rescue them. :-O
I love the way your personality comes through in these quiet little videos. You're a lot of fun to hang out with. 🥳
I agree I wonder if solo does like fan meet and greets would be cool to meet him one day or kuga 👍 I know some of them don't show their faces on camera bit I love them all the same 🤩🤩 there's a cool female one too that does similar trips from.a female pov
If I go to Japan, I definitely want to ride the ferry.
Yes! 🌻 Sunflower! Thanks for the video
Thank you for a relaxing video . The fact that the people wave the ship off is great .
I love how the crews are waving upon departure! That's so nice and really cool. 😎
Yes is their culture
I think I'd really enjoy Sunflower. They seem to be some of the nicest trips you've had.
It’s almost like they watched your videos and made little changes in response! Maybe coincidence, maybe not! 🌻🌻🌻
I followed my rule to watch while I am eating, but your food looked sooo much better. 😁
Thank you for your videos. They are so calming and high quality.
I was surprised at how much English I heard, the instructions on the speaker and the song. I enjoy all your videos, thank you.
This definitely one of your top ten entertaining videos.”Sunflower, Sunflower”…everybody sing!
Although the ongoing music would drive me nuts if it played all night and I could not turn it off, I LOVE it that the staff ALWAYS waves goodbye. It makes EACH sailing something special… no matter how many times one sails with them.

Your videos are so cool and relaxing. My family loves everything about your travels. Mostly, the food you have while traveling on the ferries.
It's so different and wonderful that port crew members in Japan always wave goodbye to the ferries ❤ thanks for sharing these amazing adventures with us!
I was just about to start singing the theme "Sunflower, sunflower..." 😂😂😂
OOOOOOOO!!!!!! SINGALONG TIME !!!!! Everyone now!!!!! 🎶SUNFLOWER🎶SUNFLOWER🎶
Thank you very much for sharing this nice travel.
Great trip. Really appreciate for the ground staff who waving the light stick at passenger bridge.
Another great video and surprising to see the wavers on the boarding bridge. I can't wait to go to Japan once they let tourists in because these videos of yours have really helped myself plan journeys and to keep our sanity through this pandemic - you should be awarded The Order of the Chrysanthemum for your work
I like how you always point out what can and what can not be taken home because you know I'd jam anything into my bag wasn't nailed down

After watching all your videos, I feel like incorporating a ferry ride in my next Japan trip just so that I can wave back at the staff waving at me!
You cracked me up when you said: “Nice abs” hahaha, nice video my brother as always..!!!
What a great experience. Good-looking food too!
Thank you Mr. Solo.
By the way...
The 🌻song is on UA-cam (so that anytime, people can turn it up loud and re-live the trauma), I imagine it is getting an inexplicable number of views.
A great trip
You always deliver a very nice and beautiful travel video, whether a ferry, train or hotel. Thank you very much for taking us along. I love the eating and food parts the best :)
I just realised something: in 2007, an all-you-can-eat breakfast at the Tokyo International Youth Hostel was JPY600. 15 years on, and prices havent changed much at all. I miss Japan...
Yay to another video!👍👏👏👏👏
Wow food looks very good indeed🙃..a pity no sunrise..
Waiting for your next video!🙃
Sun-flow-er, sun-flow-er 🎶 The jungle from hell 😂. I think it was a nice ferry and a great room for a single person. The comforter cover is smart because it can be easily washed between customers.

Sunflower sunflower. I can't get that song out of my head from the last sunflower video
Your videos have given me the daily urge to order Japanese food!
I was getting sad I thought I wasn't going to hear the Sunflower song. But there it was at the end! Totally made my day. I love that song ❤ 🌻
Awesome video as always!! You’re narration always makes me smile! Thank you for sharing your travels with us!!
Man, so long since I last went to Beppu. I remember the smell of sulphur and lots of stray cats!
Thanks for sharing your travel experiences!
😂😂 once again addicted to watching this, and laughing a lot at your sense of humour 👍. So relaxing watching you enjoy what you do 😁
I always enjoy your video ❤️ love the food part and I hope u do more culinary travels too. And I also hope the sunflower watch your last video too so they'll know what bothers the passengers on board. Also the sea in the morning are always beautiful, regardless what circumstances their in 😆
That looks like one of the loveliest trips you've taken recently
Thank you for getting the Sunflower song stuck in my head for all eternity without even playing it 😫🤣
"Cold. Hot. Cold. Cold. Cold." Wonderful!! Thank you for making me laugh out loud. I needed it.
Hahhaha “cold cold cold” you are hilarious! And totally light saber regret!! They’re so friendly to wave you off! Always look forward to your videos (and the food channel too)! :)
Happy to see they are getting more guests again too.
Fun trip..but you definitely need a glow stick for waving 🙂
I love love love the waiving port workers.
so i have come to the conclusion, to only watch your vids when im eating something, all the meals you have look so good, so this morning i was having breakfast and watching, cant wait for the next one
Thank you again for another amazing trip. I don't live close to the sea, so this is fascinating for me. I look forward to the next video, and have watched all of your videos!!
