Thank you for the time stamps and for explaining in English what your meal contains…looks absolutely delectable Your English is spot on!

[@off-to-japan]

The meal was amazing! they never lets me down! I always do my best for English subtitles.

[@LotusDolly]

That early Sunrise made me so peaceful. Grateful. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@off-to-japan]

Glad you enjoyed it! Me too I was so happy to watch the sunrise even I woke up really early. It was worth it!

[@huberina2968]

Love the video. And I think this terminal is amazing. It is open and the ship is near by the check point, very nice!😊

[@off-to-japan]

I think so too!! Thanks.

[@raquelsinternationalauthen7343]

Beautiful Japan thank you for all the beauty such nice country and people congratulations to you all members

[@off-to-japan]

Japan, where even the scenery is polite and welcoming!

[@cmeride79]

こんにちは、ありがとうございます！ I am so enjoying your travels - your eccentric passion for vending machines is singular and very cool. ; ) The videography is wonderful; this morning - at sea, the squalls and sunrise were so serene. It is also so restoring to see how respectful and kind the Japanese public appear where you go - something which does not seem to have changed much over the decades. Best wishes to you, and thanks again for your great videos. 💜⭐💯🎸🔮✨🌛

[@off-to-japan]

こんにちは。Thanks for your warm comment. Yes I realize people in Japan are respectful and kind. I'm so proud of it!

[@Heatherbob201]

Am I the only one who noticed the couple in the forward salon get up and storm out when they saw you go in? You even got a nasty glare from him! 😂

You Sir making up that bunk was like watching you wrestle with an alligator. Lol haha. I appreciate your using a HD camera 📸. I just subscribed to your channel. 👍

Your analogy is very unique. Thank you for subscribing to our channel.

16hrs seems like a long time for a ferry within the same country. I wish I was young and fit enough to do the same thing. I’d probably spend more time confused by the language and in tears :) I’m so impressed by the cleanliness of all stages of the trip, the uk is shameful to somebody brought up to respect other citizens. Capsule hotels is SE Asia worry me as I’m 175cm tall. Do they cater for tall people? Lots of the videos show slippers or clothing, I imagine none of them cater for bigger westerners.

[@off-to-japan]

16 hours ferry trip is pretty good for me because I can sleep enough time, enjoy meals and chill out. It's enough big for 175cm to stay at capsule hotels in Asia because I am also 176 cm tall. Don't worry, they cater tall people. Actually many European travel to Asian countries!

[@sheilagarcia2907]

O mágico foi muito divertido. O oceano é deslumbrante. Hoje você não comeu salmão no café da manhã seu prato favorito hahaha 😅 Amo seus vídeos. Sou de Pérola no Paraná - Brasil.

[@off-to-japan]

Os mágicos são divertidos. Não tivemos um espetáculo todos os dias, mas por acaso tivemos um. Hoje apetecia-me comer comida ocidental em vez de salmão ao pequeno-almoço. Obrigado por nos verem do Brasil.

[@Adrianassal]

maravilhoso, muito obrigada

[@VerasakSahachaisaree]

Very interresting. I have been to Otaru but don't know about this ferry. From Thailand.

[@off-to-japan]

Sawadee kap! It would be amazing to travel by ferry in Japan if you have enough time. You should come back to Japan soon! We have lots of good ferries! You would like them!

[@angelastumbaugh2870]

Good question for you. Does this ferry and the bullet train gold seats offer a wheelchair accomodations? Asking for myself. Japan is my ultimate bucket list trip and I want to maximize the first class treatment just one trip before I die. Looks like the doctors gave me a 10 year life span from January 2024 if I do not get on the liver donation list. So, even though I still can maintain some standing and walking function, the doctors still want me to be 95% confined to wheelchair to maximize less stress on heart so I can go into surgery no problem. Any info would help very much. Wakari mas ka.fimo arigato in advance.

[@off-to-japan]

Hi thanks for your comment. First, they offer for wheelchair. And I hope you’ll come to Japan one day!

@@off-to-japan OI!! Sugoi.wakari mas. I am even learning how to speak, Japanese as well as how to read and write in common kani. I am even learning a lot of the social graces for both public and at home idioscycancies. All thanks to a butt load of slice of life anime, KZbin what not to do/ what to do videos including how to dine, giving and receiving papers, the whole nine yards. My husband is likewise doing the same things. We even have 8 foreign language apps to help the process. Not to appropriate the culture, but to show the proper respect to the country that is gracious enough to host us. My great-grandmother taught me to be grateful enough to the foreign lands by learning the customs and languages in return to show respect. Domo arigato for the information. I will indeed look into them ( the train company and the ferry company). I really look forward to visit Studio IG, Studio Ghibli, and Toei Animation. Maybe a little trip to Sanrio for all that kawaii merchandise. I am also eager to know what tayaki is and to actually try one. And do they come in a bread shell shaped like a fish? My deepest apologies for this long reply. Just exited about going.

Привет дорогой друг твои видио мне очень нравится ❤

[@cgjeffery]

Is there any space for a big suitcase on the sleeper train and or over night ferry? I enjoy your video very much. Thank you.

[@off-to-japan]

Yeah there are some space for luggage on the sleeper trains and overnight ferries. Thank you for watching our videos!

[@LaineyMcD31]

Well I was running out of STJ vids to watch so thought I'd try OTJ too lol n surprise surprise guess who? lol I remember this vid very well but the STJ one must have got edited by the wee fairy/elf folk lol (the cobbler and the elves story) but they must not do beds tho such a pity cos you still can't make a bed 😂 Love you to bits you make me laugh you've got a sense of humour like me. Oh btw was talking about you telling pals about your videos now they're following you. We were sitting on the Dunoon hotel balcony watching big cruise liner on the Firth of Clyde, you see them all the time from the hotel even my room window we go there a lot every month it's cheap lol anyway watching a big cruise ship going past at the time cos hotel right on the promenade and I was nosy so googled that one omg you'd have had a flakey £2029 for a cruise boarding at Southampton then round the British Isles but you could actually do the Mediterranean, Aegean or Caribbean cruises for cheaper. Told you before if I could stay on one of your ferries for a week or the longest 40 hour ones to and back I'd be a happy bunny. Lots of your ferries are like luxury cruise liners and actually better than some of the Japanese cruises especially the MSC Bellissima lol. As for Azalea aye I like that one, still think it's better having a private cabin tho cos far too busy and a capsule bunk right at the entrance door no so good. I don't like busy noisy either. I went on the Waverley again and half full this time but still too busy for me maximum capacity 700 peeps I think far too many tho like sardines in a can. Anyway, I look forward to your next video take care xx

[@off-to-japan]

Thanks for watching our channel after STJ's. I appreciate it very much. I'm not good at making bank beds. Thanks for talking about our channel. Our channel has a lot of longer videos than the other channels, don't you get bored? I bet it would be fun to spend a week on a ferry going around Japan...is the 40-hour ferry the one between Nagoya and Hokkaido? I've never been on the one, and I'm hoping to get on one soon. I'd love to stay in a private room, but I'm on a budget, so I usually stay in a capsule room. I'd like to get enough subscribers to stay in a private cabin. I do get fed up with too many passengers on the ferry during major holidays. The following is a video of the overnight ferry from Korea to Osaka, so please check it out!

[@richardaird3636]

how much was it?

[@off-to-japan]

Total cost: 11,350JPY($84.0) 　[Train 750JPY($5.5), Ferry Ticket Tourist A Class 10,600JPY ($78.5) ]

Quite a difficult task to make a bed in such an enclosed space! No easy way to tuck in the sheets under the mattress 😅😢

[@off-to-japan]

I hate to do it on the ferry. But that's the fate of cheap rooms.

Please give us more time to read your captions. Thanks

I’ll change in that way!

Very interesting sightseeing films, I invite you to Polish, you will take a train from the seaside to the mountains :)

Maybe one day! I'll be there.

I like hearing your voice ,you should ture it up, us Americans, who are over 66 don't Enjoy having to READ our videos WE are Watching ❤❤

[@off-to-japan]

Thank you for watching my video. Yes I know that Americans don't read subtitles in videos. My English Skill is not enough to explain all in my videos. But I will try my best.

[@plumdutchess]

Funny. People who are older tend to have to use hearing impaired subtitles to watch tv and such. So it's something that's more common among older people.

[@Dawnella66]

Im older and I dont mind reading subtitles. However hearing your voice describe things on a menu is helpful too. I love watching videos of Japan. So many beautiful places. Ty ;)

[@redheadmomma7176]

Im in my 50s. 15 years ago i had a medical incident and lost a portion of my hearing. I use subtitles daily. Even younger people use them.

[@LeeLeeCRN]

How entitled do u have to be that u expect the whole world to speak English bc u "don't like to read subtitles" 🙄
