I always like to imagine what it feels like to wander around the ship at night, the slight rocking, the quiet hush of background noises, dimmed lights. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I would just wander around the trains I was on at night, exploring the different cars, seeing what nighttime was like. So cozy.

For those wondering on where some of the previous Japanese ferry ships that this one replaced go. Here in the Philippines, a company named 2Go Ferry acquire some of these Japanese decommissioned old ships, renovated some parts and currently use them to travel to different provinces of the country. That is why when you ride these ships in the Philippines you will still see Japanese worn out written labels, stickers and signs in many places of the ship. Some Japanese toilets are still even being used today. One example is ghe current 2Go Ferry named Maligaya was a former Hankyu Ferry named Yamato for the Kobe-Kitakyushu route launched in 2003. There are also travel vlogs about those ships you can watch here in YT.

Tried this ferry on this route with my car earlier this year. Good price and great service and the journey exceeded all my expectations. Early evening departure and morning arrival is a great efficient way in saving sleeping time and accommodation cost. Onsen being a bonus. Strongly recommended.

Wow you can tell there's school kids on the ship, not used to the noisy background in a video from Japan especially during meal time. Unless it's for entertainment. But it's nice to hear people having fun and enjoying themselves. Also you caught me, yes every time I see a ferry video sunflower song in my head lol

I can’t get over how cost effective these ferries are. The cost of a night in a hotel room, plus the cost of travel across the country, all for $213! In the royal cabin no less!

@MaryAntonia-tc9rv Ай бұрын

The Royal Suite looked spacious and comfortable! The balcony was perfect for your trip. The food did appear to be downsized and a bit more pricey than before. Did they have desserts for supper or breakfast? The curry dish didn't have anything else to it like beef or veggies and I was thinking it was watered down too. But, it was a relaxing excursion ❤

Having subscribed to your channel since you first started, I got so used to you turning off the speaker volume first thing when you enter a room, so much so that I found myself feeling almost annoyed when you finally turned it off in this instance.
