Just like everyone, I enjoy watching your videos. No annoying music, just the noise of the background. That’s more than enough.

[@michelleharrell8452]

The capsule sleeping quarters. No privacy plus noisy due to snorers. No thanks. But your private room with a window very nice.

[@experience_japan]

I understand, the private room with a window was definitely a better choice!

[@dra6o0n]

It would make sense that people who do snore can't apply for capsule beds, or something will be needed to silence the snore.

[@andreelindevall1203]

nothing some earplugs wouldnt solve

[@dra6o0n]

Acoustic damper does the trick extremely well if you layer it all over the room to prevent sounds from bouncing around.

[@melissakennedy5897]

If you don’t have a lot of money, you deal with it

[@LannyBenny]

I’m an American military veteran that was stationed in Okinawa in the 1990s. I loved Japanese vending machines! I especially loved the beer vending machine outside of my apartment. I love that vending machine has the Okinawan beer, Orion 8:34 I also loved the Asahi Super Dry commercials in Japan. I loved how the Japanese announcer pronounced those words.

[@billhoward351]

What a great relaxing video. Quiet time is really needed these days. Thank you.

[@experience_japan]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! Quiet time is so important these days.

[@PREPFORIT]

[@experience_japan]

Your words mean so much to me. Thank you for your support!

[@jrobson100]

I always have a bunch of books downloaded to my phone and tablet in case I don't have wi-fi, so I'd just spend the whole trip reading. (and trying vending machine treats) Very nice video, thank you for making it.

[@madedgar]

I really enjoy your filming style. I played the video with my morning coffee, and it was a really peaceful way to start the day. Thanks!

[@Tradewindsvintagehi]

Hermes, Sponge Bob 🤣❤ This was fun. Thank you for taking us along❤

[@romanianpatriot2095]

A ferry with vending machines is something you wouldn't find anywhere else.Japan really knows how to use things to the max.Great video as usual.😊

[@is_c]

I liked the room, it was small, nice and tidy 🥹🩷

You keep saying "bad weather" but I love cloudy days 💛

[@whoizcaitlin_375]

Ah yes very soothing indeed

[@plnkfloydian7814]

Everything is so well presented and pleasing to the eye. Felt very welcoming. ✌️

[@queenofhell1665]

Can't wait to get older and visit Japan. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲 ❤️

[@experience_japan]

Can't wait to welcome you to Japan! Love from Japan!

[@SungtaeBookLover]

I don't need Wi-Fi. All I need is a good book to read. LOL

[@experience_japan]

I totally agree! Sometimes a good book is all you need.

[@perhapsme988]

Excellent experience. Certainly something to do one day. Thanks.👍

[@experience_japan]

Glad you liked it! Hope you get to try it someday.

[@kgrubb9398]

[@diannecassity4967]

[@livingdeadgirla]

[@experience_japan]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! That ice cream sandwich was delicious.

[@AmericanBacon.]

Amazing video! I love watching all the fun stuff that can be done in your country! I cannot wait to visit your beautiful land and experience it for myself! Great content!! Much love from America!! 👍😎👍 🇯🇵🇺🇲🇯🇵🇺🇲

[@FZUMMZUMM]

This was fun! Always great watching your videos! I like watching your choice of foods. Thanks for sharing your trip ! 😊

[@kenweidemoyer2221]

Looks like you had a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing. I cannot believe these Vending machines the food looks great!

[@Jaminsongunner]

If u don't have to share a room with strangers this woul be epic

[@experience_japan]

Totally agree! It would be amazing to have the room to yourself.

[@Troyboy2411]

Awesome video and hello from Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺

[@experience_japan]

Thank you! Hello to Brisbane, Australia!

[@Shidohari]

The clouds were lovely, I think i would read my kindle or preload some songs onto my phone for the trip since i wouldn't have internet for spotify or anything like that. Very nice variety of foods on that trip. Thanks for sharing.

[@experience_japan]

Great idea! Glad you enjoyed the video and the variety of foods.

[@trishmason6672]

No way would I do the capsule rooms. Without Internet I would knit or crochet, do crossword or word search or play video games on a handheld console. I grew up before we had internet, moved across country in our station wagon and we found things to entertain us. I love these videos. I'll never get to Japan and you forget there are lots of islands there. Thanks for taking me along!

[@giraffesinc.2193]

I grew up before the internet as well, and would probably have the time of my life knitting, reading, etc. The only downside would be no music.

[@chronicallycassandra8907]

A capsule room is quite small for 3 days but if I was traveling alone I think I could manage. If I was traveling with my son we would need more space however

[@experience_japan]

I understand! Traveling solo in a capsule can be fun, but more space is definitely needed with family.

[@saithewriter5219]

Thank you for the ferry trip! I used to be in the Navy, I miss those big seas bad or good weather!

[@experience_japan]

Thank you for your service! Glad the video brought back memories.

[@TimothyCHenderson]

What's more universal than the hot meal coming out of the microwave and trying not to burn your hand.

[@experience_japan]

So true! Everyone knows the struggle of not burning your hand with a hot microwave meal.

[@slayer_isdead3954]

The outside view of the ferry is really fabulous 😊 as long as u don't see a giant Ice berg waiting for you to take on ! 🤸🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♂️

[@gandalfstormcrow8439]

I love our local ferry. $7 gets you a 45 minute sea cruise!🤣

[@kevincaldwell4707]

Two days no internet...most would find that terrifying. I would find time to enjoy the sea weather.

[@hhs31]

I'm just wondering how roads are so clean and amazing even during rainy times!! here in my country they will lay roads like for months and it wont last even for a small rain!!! Japan is a promising country!! hope I will visit sooner!!!!!!

[@experience_japan]

Japan takes great care of its infrastructure. Hope you can visit soon!

[@afizi1213]

27:27 hmm nice number eahh ,ehemm this is the favourite food and easy to make and find cause this is one of the most famous japan food ,very oishiii

[@Nohaters-y3d]

Cooking is so convenient in Japan. No wonder everyone works so hard so that’s why clever peeps came up with all these yummy convenient meals. So Kool looking after Their peeps ❤❤❤

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

Sensational my friend lives life to the fullest much love be safe most importantly have fun cheers

[@TommyPhoenix13]

You made me laugh and smile. I really needed that today😭. Thank you!

[@experience_japan]

🤗

[@donnabursey1457]

I would read, eat, sleep, and walk/exercise/practice my tai chi. All very relaxing! Thank you for another interesting video (I feel like I've seen this ferry before)! Until next time, be safe and well and stay dry! 😃

[@BurnCityBeats]

thank you we love your videos . Hello from Australia

[@experience_japan]

Thank you! Hello to Australia!

[@sharonleong7120]

Great sharing. I love it once again. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍

[@experience_japan]

Thank you! I'm glad you loved it again!

[@tabithacraig9329]

You are hilarious. The food looked delicious. I would have been trying alot of different foods. I see your getting what we are getting rain rain and did I say rain. Love the video as always. Did you get a Souvenir? ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much! Yes, I got a little souvenir. Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@highnoon9333]

It's so kind and thoughtful of them to include Antarctic cuisine

[@bc4yt]

I can believe the vending machine foods are delicious and high quality. Frozen and dehydrated/freeze dried foods have come a long way in recent years, and it seems the Japanese always value innovation and high quality, so no doubt they are good. Hope I can get there to try them one day! 🇯🇵🍱

[@andyfreer8463]

Great video love your channel I must say vending machine foods in your country is superb

[@fiolele506]

yayyyyy thanks for the new vedio ❤❤

[@ovarb12]

Very cool. Thanks for sharing!

[@reneerichburg8023]

Oh I loved it thanks 👍👍👏😍 keep up the good work 💯

[@mahartma]

No porkchop sandwich would be safe from me if we had vending machines like that in Germany We only have drinks and 5 months old chocolate bars.

[@experience_japan]

I feel you! We need to get some of those vending machines to Germany.

[@ravenroc1784]

I would love to travel that ferry and try all the vending machines! So clever the matching microwaves!

[@sheilaathay2034]

Very nice trip!😍thank you!❤🎉

[@Vicki_Benji]

You have so many options available in vending machines!

[@experience_japan]

Thank you! We love offering a variety of options!

[@valerieselau7384]

Awesome video. Looks like you're enjoying ❤

[@lizschexnayder1976]

I really am enjoying your videos, showing us different places in Japan is nice. I know I will never get to go there but it’s nice to see and experience Japan as you take us along. I love the different Capsule hotels & amenities they offer. Also I like the different food & vending machines you show us. Japan is really a advanced country! On the Capsule pods, I can’t figure how they clean them in a fast & efficient way… Thanks again for your videos!

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm glad you enjoy the videos and the glimpses of Japan I share. The cleaning process of capsule pods is indeed fascinating. Stay tuned for more!

[@giraffesinc.2193]

That was fascinating! Since I am a vegetarian, I guess I'd be eating spaghetti, bread, dessert, potatoes ... and drinking beer to pass the time! Since I knit and love to read, I'd be endlessly entertained.

[@Squirel]

I very much enjoy travelling by ship and luckily for me, I have never been sea sick even if the sea is very rough. But I don't like to be near people who are sick so that is why I would prefer a private cabin. I can imagine that vending machine food would be very good because if it wasn't, people would not trust it, and the owners would loose a lot of money. You are right though, there is less human interaction and of course, less jobs for people. Thank you for another intriguing video.

[@michelleharrell8452]

Sorry about the fries. They have to first out of a fryer to be like that picture on the machine. But the rest of your meals were delicious & enjoyable.

[@experience_japan]

Yes, fresh fries are the best. Glad you enjoyed the rest of your meals!

[@jaehaspels9607]

That looked like fun. I think I would spend all day reading and watching the water go by. I live in the desert. There's not much use for ferries here ha ha ha.

[@juniperblueness]

Yay! Excited for this video. Thank you.

[@experience_japan]

Glad to hear that! Enjoy the video!

[@normandea]

These are very good videos. Very interesting ans well made.

[@Nohaters-y3d]

Can’t get over the size of. I luv it I’m so visual so I appreciate the squishy pillows or metal haha so Kool no sine unturned thank u so much my fave U tuber 🎉❤❤❤❤

[@Northernmike100]

Very informative video. My mouth was watering with the “Omelet” you had. It honestly looked good!

[@freakhazerd9290]

Vending machines. Yes please😂😂 i envy japan with all the cool vending machines.

[@is_c]

13:32 I really loved how you were grateful and prayed to the Lord after you finished. We do this too 🙏🏻🤍✨

[@skyknighteman7022]

That was an amazing experience and your witty commentary made it even better. If I went, I'd probably get severe choice paralysis with all the delicious looking food on offer and definitely leave a few pounds heavier in my stomach but several pounds lighter in my wallet. I'd probably pass the time playing on my Switch in the lounge or watching the ocean from the deck, or even just taking a nap and enjoying the feeling of being out at sea.

[@daviddpg]

I really enjoy your videos. 😀

[@agerothn]

I would love to see vending machines even half this good in Canada. The most we ever get, that I know of, is just basic junk food and drinks.

[@jamiemosstube]

Hi, I just got done watching your video! The whole capsule sleeping area is a no for me, I love privacy. Two days without internet, would be weird. However during the summer of 2009, I went on a trip and had no access to the internet for like 6-7 days it was hard. So two days without WiFi wouldn’t hurt. Thank you for sharing! 😁

[@wendykornfein3337]

I enjoyed your video.

[@Emw0123]

Wow! This is one of the most unique journeys you've ever shared with us! Hmmm...what would I do without internet for two days? 🤔🤔. I would hope for a book I couldn't put down!! I wonder if the same person with the wrapped vending machine items in Akihabara chose the prizes for the ferry game!! 😂😂😂😅😅😅

[@experience_japan]

So glad you enjoyed the journey! A good book sounds perfect for that situation.

[@kntonks]

😊

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. Sadly no sunrise and sunset along the trip, since the weather is cloudy. Also for additional in your subtitle, Vending Machine making you spend more money than Onboard Restaurant, because the selection of food and drinks is plenty.

[@DuckyAdvtrs]

Lovely!

[@agustintorres9900]

Excelent video thanks so much

[@user-ek6nc5vt4u]

D 47 is much better 😃Japan really takes good care of their surroundings and people . Really enjoyed this trip, the vending machines were the best 🌸🌺🥰😘

[@Nohaters-y3d]

Digital detox that’s Kool, playing games to work up n appetite to eat yummy convenient top quality vending machine. Walk around the huge Hermes’ massive like the gods ferry then nap and do it all again 😂😂😂😂 awesome thank u so much as u can tell I thoroughly enjoyed. I wonder if there is a cap on comments coz damn apologies n respect I bow mwah ❤❤❤🎉

[@marianenetten3067]

I think the capsule rooms are fine if it's just an overnight trip but for 3 days I would go with the private room like you did. Great video!

[@22seanmurphy]

Hi from the UK i really enjoyed that it was very interesting 😊🍻

[@experience_japan]

Hi from Japan! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@EBalagot007]

Looks like the Vending machine foods that they put in there are really good quality meals

[@helending7809]

Wow! I can't believe I watched this video from beginning to end. I usually don't with most channels, however this video was top-notch ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@experience_japan]

Thank you so much! I'm thrilled you enjoyed it from start to finish. More great content coming your way!

[@zibbyzubb]

Looks like so much fun. Wish I had been on that trip with you except I would not like the public restrooms and showers! LOL!

[@experience_japan]

It was a blast! I totally understand about the restrooms and showers. LOL!

[@rdmeenach]

I like it when you buy food and eat it. Comforting, and usually looks tasty. Nothing like that in the USA.

[@thefirebird3574]

How about Kyo-Train next ?

[@Iluthra]

Three DAY trip? No, I'd need a room and private bath over bunks. Overnight it would be fine. The room you got was ok but if money were no object, I'd need a small suite. Cloudy but at least the sea is calm.Thank you for sharing your trip.

[@experience_japan]

I understand, a private bath and room would be much better for a longer trip. Thanks for watching!

[@user-mh6bd5xl7j]

all of the food looked great

[@arcane438]

Open the sesame 😆 this looks like a fun little trip. I’d need my own room since I’m claustrophobic. The food looks yummy except for the fries. Soggy potatoes are never good lol. Thanks for sharing!

[@Marunchak]

3:38 The reference to multiculturalism; a variety of international cuisines or musical genres is all the multiculturalism Japan needs. I am a foreigner (American), but I love Japan, and I wish to caution my Japanese friends that if you value the polite, orderly, disciplined, and largely non-violent society you have created since WW2, please do not make the mistake the Europeans have made in importing hostile, culturally incompatible people who would aim to impose their societal, legal, and religious requirements upon Japan.

[@chinoyhealingfoodstravels8888]

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Nice ferry adventure video🌷🌷

[@user-lk2qf4rt3m]

Ahhh! I can safely say this one is not for me EJ! I have a memory of being placed in child's play area on an overnight ferry going to Ireland from Wales when I was young. One of the roughest stretches of ocean in the world. I bounced from one padded wall to another the whole way as the ship rocked. So I think I'll give this sort of trip a pass. However I can say this... Totally accurate about the English being represented by chips... It's the one thing we do WELL! Here's the mistake tourists make when they visit England... They just have fish and chips. You HAVE to have either MUSHY peas, curry sauce or gravy on them, and each region has its different preference!! 😁

[@experience_japan]

Thanks for sharing your story! I'll remember to try those toppings when I visit England.

[@Nohaters-y3d]

Omg I’ve never seen a ferry that big looks like a boat made for the gods it’s huge

[@Trey12392]

Would you ever come to the uk and do vlogs there honestly you will like the uk

[@experience_japan]

I'd love to visit the UK and do some vlogs there someday!

[@RockstarSweet94]

I would go there to digital detox, eating without stress, having good sleep (plane and ferry's white sound relaxes me a lot) and especially reading a lot of books 😂 I would have my bag full of books ahahah An holiday basically

[@Northernmike100]

What has surprised me the most. Is that the vending machines in Japan, do not seem to accept Card payments. I honestly was expecting more advanced machines!

[@Nohaters-y3d]

Safety first= grab your chopsticks and slide it out from the microwave. We need those hands in tip top shape to film 🎥 hehe omg no way there’s prawns as well. Wow we so happy for u too and plump, sometimes u can’t even see the prawns in the fried rice here let alone plump ones hahaha ❤❤❤
