Thanks for watching.
It has been 3 years since I started this channel. Thank you for always leaving me warm comments. It is very encouraging.
Before I started this channel, I was very depressed because of many failures in my life. This channel is my first success and it is because you support my channel, share it with your friends and travel through my videos. I feel like I have more friends all over the world now.
I hope you all have a great week and please eat Japanese curry. Thanks again for always watching.
STJ
Congrats to 3 years! this channel has certainly brought me happiness and I hope you continue your adventures!
If not for this channel, I would never have tried Japanese curry. Or heard the sunflower song. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. A little disappointed you didn’t book the “Hello Kitty” cabin. Just kidding! 😂
Huzzah! Remember ..... when life hands you lemons, just ignore them and go eat some curry instead. 🍛
I really enjoy watching your videos and find them interesting and relaxing, best wishes from Scotland ❤
SUNFLOWER…….SUNFLOWER…….ahhhhhhhh the song that excites!!!!!
I was thinking the same thing!!
You can't have a Sunflower video without the Sunflower song!
It's quite annoying when you are up early to disembark and cranky!!
We have waited for a while and I am excited to see and hear this ride.
Only the og fans will ever get it
Dear STJ, don't you find it ironic that depression gave you a vocation that offers so much joy? It has been such a fun adventure joining you on many interesting journeys. You gave us the Sunflower song, which has become nostalgic for your viewers too. I still smile seeing the employees with their flashing lights greeting or wishing bon voyage to the passengers. And I always wait for your "!!" when the food is special. Keep being your pleasant self. I did finally try Japanese curry. It was !!.
I know, right? Depressed but makes a fun and educational channel that helps depressed people like me, who wants to travel but cannot anymore.
I can’t wait until STJ books the hello kitty room
I was thinking the same thing!
I want to know why we haven't seen the Hello Kitty room yet!
"I know some of you are already singing the song" This made me laugh out loud. Thank you STJ!
We had to add a trip on the Sunflower Kurenai from Osaka to Beppu thanks to you. Hearing the song in person made the trip even better and we did the glowstick goodbye to the crew upon departure as well. So fun! We were the only Americans on the ferry that trip and the crew were so surprised when we asked if they were going to play the song. Thank you for sharing your videos and experiences! It helped us curate our personalized trip to Japan and we had so much fun!
The depression was your tunnel under the mountain. This channel became the light at the end. I hope you continue to grow and bring us lovely travelling videos. Did we just hear STJ speak English????? This is a historically-significant day.
SUNFLOWER IKOU!!!! Yaaasss! That song brings me almost as much joy as your videos. Congratulations on 3 years of spreading happiness around the world! I hope there are many more years to come. Best wishes from Tennessee 💕
Thanks for the superthanks and your warm comment!
I want them to play the sunflower song at my funeral. Not any time soon, mind you...
🤣🤣🤣
You know, I might do that. What a great idea!
😆😆😆
😂😂
Started to worry that we were not going to get the song we all know and love. Phew!! Congratulations on 3yrs of your channel. You have definitely brought me much entertainment, so thank you
"Sunflowah, Sunflowah!". 🌻🌻
Congratulations on three years of your channel, STJ. You've brought me a lot of happiness since the death of my husband- your videos give me a chance to see things I would never have the chance to. Thank you so much for the entertainment and the opportunity to travel with you.
Wait... NO 'SUNFLOWER'? THE WORLD TRULY IS ENDING!
9 minutes 30 - AAAAH! THERE it is! We are truly saved!
How do we tell the company we'd like versions in different languages?
It's a very special song!
Are you kidding me?!! Sunflower has a Hello Kitty room ! Oh I’m so renting that cabin if I’m ever blessed enough to see your beautiful Japan ! And it’s on Sunflower 🌻! Thank you so much for another video and congratulations on 3 years !
3 years and almost 300,000 subscribers! Great work, and thanks for these videos - they are always a nice and relaxing thing to watch.
omg the workers waving goodbye was so cute!
Sunflower song! My life is complete!😂
Solo-san, I started watching your channel b/c of the COVID crisis around the world and was stuck at home working and afraid. But still want to see the countries around the world that I would like to visit. Thank you for sharing.
You always thank us for watching. I want to behalf all of us watching, Thank you for always sharing. ❤
The wave of nostalgia from hearing the sunflower song... Congrats for your three years of success with this channel, and cheers to many more!
your story shows that there is no failure in life as long we we don't give up. as long as we're willing to try, we can change our outcome from negative to positive. congratulations!
I sang it! Maybe you convinced them to yank it... I agree with you, 'not today' on the socks. You've got the best socks already, seems to me....I was ill in hospital just as you started this channel, and am so happy to have found you and your great, peaceful, drolly and snarkily captioned videos. Helped me so much then, and I am so much better now. Hope the same is true for you, my dear Solo Curry man.✌🤟💙💙💙
Recently I took the Shimmoji to Kobe Hankyu ferry with my small car. I did considered this Sunflower Oita to Kobe route but price-wise Hankyu beat Sunflower big time. My accommodation was Japanese room with WC.
It's been a while since you're enjoying your adventure every single time in a Sunflower ferry ship but now, you're enjoying revisiting once again. ❤❤❤❤
This is the best storytelling I have ever seen. Props to you as a director.
Hey, that's the ferry I was on when I was in Japan last year. except I went the other way, Oita-Kobe. I can confirm the buffet was !! worthy.
I like the salad to everything else ratio in the first round of the meal. At least no one can fault you for not eating your greens.
Ah yes, Sunflower, the song that will follow me into my dreams.
Your sendoff from Kobe looked like a jedi convention :) Thank you for always bringing us along with you.
on my bucket list ...singing this song on this ferry!
Aaahhhh yes the SUNFLOWER song 🎵 💛 😊. I don't know why but it makes me happy 😃😃
The crew waving really hit me! They are so lovely
I am sitting at my computer with headphones on singing the Sunflower Song - I am in my happy place!!
My boyfriend and I made a trip to Japan last year and made sure we took a sunflower ferry from Beppu -> Osaka solely because of your vlogs. It made us so happy to hear that song in person ❤ thank you for providing such relaxing yet comedic content. We love your vlogs!
Congrats on three years. I love the way you present your videos. You offer candid opinions on what is around you. You have opened a new look at Japan to me. I hope we may cross paths when I visit Japan in 2026.
Edited 23 May 2024 I guess I'll have to learn the Sunflower Song by Heart when I visit Japan in 2026.
SUUUUNFLOOOOWERRRRRR!!! 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻
Hey STJ just felt like saying this. Ive been following you from the coach bus video (the bus with cocoon type seats) and honestly u were the only way where i could relax myself. I love Japan more than anything else, Im just connected eternaly to Japan. I found your videos a way of quenching my thirst to visit Japan. Last two years I was too busy. I faced and had to take many major decisions that would decide the fate of my life, so I didnt have much time to see your videos. Lots changed since then. I found your sub channel and just subscribed to it. You started posting videos a lot more frequent. Today Ive completed everything there was to complete for me and now im here again to relax myself. Thank you a lot. btw congrats on 3 year annivesary and I hope you reach 500K soon
Gosh, STJ, I was close to being disappointed when the Sunflower anthem wasn't blaring through the hallway! I bet many of my fellow STJ enthusiasts felt the same way. I'm certainly relieved that you are no longer depressed. Your videos, to use a Marie Kondo term, spark joy. Thank you for posting them. My grocery store stocks Japanese curry in mild, medium, and hot. I'll be sure to have some this week! Domo arigato gozaimas!
🌻 🌻
Let the sun protect us
Let’s goooooooooooo
I started singing Sunflower as soon as the title of the video came on the screen! 🌻
Probably have not cleaned the filter on the air conditioner in awhile. That always smells moldy/ammonia. So sorry! Thank you for the video!
Hey solo, congrats on 3 years! You know what you should do next right...
SUUUNFLOWERRRR....SUNFLOWEEERRRRR!!
The good old SUNFLOWER song. It’s alway nice traveling along with you
Congrats to such success! Many failures lead to a success!
SUNFLOWERS SUNFLOWER! 🎵
I cannot believe they don’t have the song anymore? I was so excited to hear the song! 😢 I had to come back and edit my comment, thank goodness they ended up playing the song after all! I’m sure it does get to be a lot for the crew! 😊
"All you can eat" buffet is mouth-watering. Thank you for showing us and explaining the selections. :)
Thanks Solo San for bringing Sunflower happiness to Downunder. We have missed the music,and the glow stick farewells. Plus having the buffet is a bonus. Sorry your room was smelly. But another fantastic video. 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
I will let the sun protect us. Let's go!
6.54 "Full of history". such a friendly euphemism!
Congratulations!! you bring great joy (and laughter) to many people, all around the world!!!!
Fantastic, just as I was getting ready to go to bed this popped up, and now I’ve got sunflower dancing round my head
SUNFLOWER
Cannot get enough of watching these videos love them
It has a Hello Kitty room!!!? I hope you try that one someday.
That feels like a way of ending up on a register....
Three years already? Thank you for the many wonderful hours that encouraged me to visit Japan in the spring of this year. Unfortunately without a ferry, but with curry.
I love the Sunflower song! I even have it as a ringtone!!! It just lifts my spirits!!!
Thank you! It's amazing how a little bit of 'Sunflower' brightens the day 😄.
Dinner looked excellent ... '!!'.
I love the 'waving off' ... it's a very touching and caring gesture by the staff.
Domo arigato gozaimashita.
I took the sunflower ferry from Tomakomai to ōarai in November last year and even if I was looking forward to, in all of the 18+ h, I did not hear the sunflower-song once. 😢
Thank you for bringing it back. 😅
And the food, I miss it so much. Japanese food is simply the best.
Greetings from Germany!
Congratulations on 3 years and nearly 300k subscribers! Let's be honest: the channel really took off after your first trip on ~Sunflower ~Sunflower...
Solo Travel you have given us a glimpse Into your culture, that we would have never had, we thank you...the food, the customs you are a fabulous man...
Thank you, Solo Travel, for what you do! Every adventure you go on is a valuable look into the country I admire so dearly and your fun and whimsy (and love of curry) always make me smile.
Sunflower 🌻 Sunflower 🌻...Ahhhhh!!! Every time I see a sunflower that song just pops into my head and makes me smile! So glad to share your amazing journeys with you! Be well! If you ever come to Southern California, stay in Torrance and go to Mitsuwa Marketplace!
I was a little afraid that they got rid of the song. Glad they don’t play it over and over again, but happy they didn’t get rid of it. Thanks as always for sharing your videos.
Whoa 😮 3 years! おめでとうございます! I look forward to more videos from you.
You should have taken the "Hello Kitty" room. Everyone loves "Hello Kitty." But hearing "taiyo ni mamorarete" was like meeting an old friend! 😃
I really enjoy your videos! I think I like the ferry trips best, but the trains are great too. Please keep doing what you enjoy, and thank you for bringing us along. Keep smiling and I'm so glad you pushed through the depression to find joy in what you do!
I love these videos. Your hard work in editing the videos is much appreciated! My family will be visiting Japan soon to see relatives we haven't seen in 25 years! Keep up the great work. We'll be waiting and watching your videos. Hello from 🇨🇦 Canada!
I don’t know why… but I love watching these things! Even though I live in USA & never been to China
This is Japan.
Been following for about a year now and always your videos put me in a calm and realxed state, perfect as your videos are always the last ones i watch before going to bed for the night. Thank you for your work and giving us a quite view into beautiful travels ❤
I’m here for the sunflower banger
I love the song!!!! Sunflower! Sunflower! It’s the only song they need 😂
Congratulations on three years of success! Love your channel and always look forward to your new adventures!
My goodness!!! That food looks so delicious!!!! I would love to see the whole buffet offerings!!!! I am so hungry now!!!🥲😉😛
Sunflower, sunflower... I was laughing too hard 🤣Congratulations STJ on the 3 year anniversary!
Congratulations on 3 years of your channel its always fun to come along on your travels 😊
Congratulations, Solo San! I have enjoyed your channel and celebrate your three year anniversary! Thank you for introducing us to the Sunflower song! I was among my fellow STJ fans singing the iconic Sunflower song. 🌻. Thank you for taking us on your journeys. Looking forward to more travels! Stay safe and Cheers to you!
Huh, I can't believe you passed up the Hello Kitty room.
The sunflower song is my alarm clock 😂
Congrats on 3 years! glad to hear your mental health is better, I hope you see how many people want you to try the Hello Kitty room, would be a fun video I think!
Congratulations on the 3-year anniversary! I love watching your videos from across the world (Brazil)
Fantastic! What a joy to see you on a sun flower ferry and to hear the sunflower song again! Thank you STJ for taking us with you on this trip! Hope you had a good time! Take care :)
Thanks for the content. I will visit Oita for the first time in December 2024. We will be flying though. I think a lot of people are fine with the small, standard room to sleep in. You can always hang out outside in the spacious lounges and other areas of a ferry.
I love the sunflower song! 🎶 😂
You need to book the hello kitty room next time!!’ Love your videos! 🌻
I like the way you organized your desserts to look like a sunflower 😂
I better do my shopping now. I'ma saving you for later when I can relax😊😊
SUUNFLLOWWER!!! [They all got sunflower tattoos too.] 🌻
🌻🌻🌻😂😂😂 I love your channel! Thank you for sharing your travels with us. ☺️
Thank you for this video. I’ve been missing the Sunflower theme song for a while.
YASSSSS!!!!
SUNFLOWER SONG!!!❤
I was totally singing the song!
Congrats on 3 years! Looking forward to more adventures!
Besides the Sunflower song, I always look forward to the waving ground crew.
Congratulations for the 3 year anniversary!
Wonderful channel, content and sense of humour. Your videos bring joy to my life and I thank you!
Oh, STJ, you did again, I shall be singing Sunflower all day. Your selfless eating of all the food, to give us a view, is amazing. Thank you for another trip ❤❤👵🏴🌹🌹
Love your content. Very relaxing before bed. Thank you ❤
Happy 3 yrs of the channel, and hopefully many more to come. Thank you for always taking us on these trips. Its lovely for this broke AF American(okay I've owned horses for over 20 years that's my problem) to get to see all the cool places you go to, and since I love trains and water, Japan seems like a great place to hopefully someday visit. Its so nice of you to point out costs or travel tips, and where to find some delicious food.
I never thought I would ever watch anything like this, but I look forward to it every week now. We spent two weeks in Japan on holiday once years ago, and I regret now that we never took a single ferry. It would have been fun and also probably saved money. And if there's ever a food Olympics, I look forward to seeing you win a gold medal for Japan. 😄
thank you, I love these journeys.. so relaxing
