Useless expensive for a very small and ordinary room dude ...

[@bastorbap]

Most of your video's are all about the journey, not the destination. It's relaxing and joyful to watch. But it would be nice if you sometimes can focus a bit more on the destination as well. I bet there are several "hidden gems" as you called it, out there. Like small mountain villages or a remote island to explore. Maybe also include cheapest option to your destination, not everyone is swimming in "Kuga dollars" :P Anyways, keep up what your doing I bet soon you will know every traintrack, ferry or bus-stop in Japan ;)

[@iatsd]

Seems really expensive for the room they provided.

[@jamhay1000]

I am a disabled American in Western North Carolina, I am in a hospital bed most of the time because of an artificial heart valve etcetera. Your wonderful channel allows me to travel around the world from my room. Thank you and God bless you for your friendly videos and light hearted humorous commentary.😊😊😊

Thanks, Jon!🤝

[@joannedelaney3866]

Thank you for sharing your journey’s with us. One of my greatest wishes was to be able to travel more once my children grew up and left home. Unfortunately my plans will never be fulfilled due to ill health, but I am able to travel through your eyes. Your videos bring so much comfort 🙂

[@englishatheart]

Please don't hate me, but it's "journeys." No apostrophe in plurals. 😛 And I am sorry for your ill heallth. 😟 I am in the same boat, travel-wise. No funds or travel companions, and severe depression and anxiety definitely makes even just existing very difficult at times.

[@joannedelaney3866]

@@englishatheart Oops!…Thank you for pointing out my mistake , I could never hate someone for such a small thing as helping me by pointing out my mistakes. I wish you well 🙂

[@JW20236]

​@@englishatheartHello, I came across your comment but I wholeheartedly recommend solo traveling once you get your funds issue behind you. Once you do it just once you will open up the whole world and your anxiety will be vastly reduced! Go for it!

>packed with emptiness I never thought I would have something in common with a mini-fridge, but here we are.

[@shashank_sinha]

You are amazing! I love your videos so much, especially the ones with the cool Japanese trains. They make me want to go to Japan and see them for myself. You are the best Shinkansen fan ever, and I am one too! 🚅🇯🇵😍

[@kugastravel5180]

Thanks, Shashank!🤝

[@timsmith1894]

The more I watch yours and others, travel videos make me want to visit Japan soon. 😊

[@JoshuaMatos-f3w]

Truly awesome mr kuga san. I can't physically be in nihon but your videos are the way for me to understand what nihon is like in terms of public transit services on the shinkansen🚅🚆, the ⛴️ ferries etc.... , the different towns and villages and the awesome foods. If i was walking in nihon, i wouldn't have to worry about being thirsty or hungry because there are vending machines everywhere. Absolutely superb. Safe travels mr kuga san and blessings to all the people of nihon🙏📿✝️⛪️🤲🇯🇵

[@ohnoflicks]

Wonderful little room, but!!!! One Tea Bag???? Oh my, I would need a couple more!

[@あか-k6f]

とても癒されました🎵ありがとうございます☺️

[@THEJake829]

"THE SHIP IS FLOATING!" Yes, Kuga, boats and ships tend to do that. lol

[@sverdad640]

Thanks for another informative, beautifully produced video. I love that you are never the subject of the travelogue, the journey and the eventual destination are what counts. You deserve many more viewers and I hope that will eventually be what happens as more people discover your fine work.

[@englishatheart]

"The ship is floating." Well, yeah, I sure hope it is. Otherwise it would be sinking. 😝

[@cphilips502]

Interesting how the ferry is so new but seems much more simple compared to some of the other ferries you have been on. I like how they expected you to survive on one tea-bag for the whole journey and speed-eat in 30 minutes! Great vid though, thank you!

[@englishatheart]

As a fast eater, that part would be fine for me. But, as tea lover, I would definitely need more than one bag. 😂

[@ewengillies9826]

My thoughts .. Diet Tea you only get one. I did not feel this ferry was up to the same standard as all your other journies. Water was definitely blue tho. Bushyboy Oz.

[@jenniferdabovich7629]

You also had to find the tea to begin with!

[@helenel4126]

Thank you for posting this. What beautiful ocean water in southern Japan! Your cabin looked very comfortable. The wooden container that held the teacup, saucer, and tea reminded me of wooden boxes used to hold sewing and embroidery in the US.

[@dalanamajor]

I’m from Miami, FL and I currently live in Okinawa. I love the Aquarium there it’s so big!!!

[@GenjiG]

Visiting Okinawa in November, can’t wait! ❤

[@Dawn-he1rx]

Thank you for sharing!!!!! Your contacts list should be ENDLESS! ❤ 💙 💜

[@TheUluxian]

The best part of your videos is your sense of humor. You never fail to make me smile...😄

[@kamewawong]

Love the floating Jetfoil

What a beautiful video! Thank you for this! Love the atmosphere!

[@vitaliik5596]

My cat will feel claustrophobic in such "delux" :D

[@andrewjones-productions]

Kuga: The ship is floating. The ship is floating. Me: I should bloody hope so!

[@RoulinBrooks]

If that's the second nicest room on the ferry, then I'd hate to see the other rooms. A real broom closet.

[@petek5523]

And so expensive 😬

[@andrewmastrandonas5123]

I don't consder that a deluxe room. Quite small.

[@Lucian-h2j]

Your comments are the funniest, a fridge packed with emptiness...haaha Aloha from Hawaii.

[@dskadd32]

Love the Kagoshima trams to start. You had a cosy room. Such blue clear water. Thankyou Kuga San

[@patrickswick9475]

"Packed with emptiness" You make me laugh 🤣😆 Very good video, I learned a lotted am interested in learning more about Amami Oshima Island. Thank You

[@jeffharper6259]

Kuga when you said you had never before travelled to Okinawa I was surprised :)

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I like the shredded seaweed on the rice.

[@MrLaprius]

Clickbait on a face-reveal Kuga-san?! 😆 Thanks as always! It's weird to think of you having an empty contacts list when you have 300,000 people who think you're pretty cool 😎

[@cynram355]

You are too hilarious!..."A great homage to what my contacts list looks like"! :) Just remember, it isn't the number of contacts you have, it's the quality of those contacts!

[@lialiolkristi]

I've watched almost your videos. And I'm always impressed with everything in your videos. Even I paused and rewatched them. Feeling thankfully for your videos because I have virtual trip to many breathtaking places around the world. SUPER THANKS!

[@wintersunshine-kb9tq]

KTJ! Your narration is the best! Always makes me smile

[@MsSleepness]

Thank you for sharing!! I love the route but I have completed all the stops in several parts because I don't have a looooong holidays. The new Marix Line ferry looks great! I want to travel with it again.

[@bmolitor615]

seigaiha on the floor, so appropriate!

[@ditto2265]

That hydrofoil boat you spotted seemed really fun. Would be cool to see your perspective going for a ride on it!

[@christianerousseau511]

I took it once from Zeebrugge (Belgium) to Dover and never felt so nauseous which never happenend on regular boat or any other means of transportation for that matter. And the sea was calm, I add. Never understood the reason but never took it again !😊

[@TCLink]

At 16:05, very nice composition.

[@cara9648]

I read JAL as jail and thought, "fair comparison to a ferry ride." 😅 I really need to sleep 😂

[@gregorymiller7828]

love your subtitles!

[@paulfelsman]

Omg Kuga, that water was so blue and clear, thank you for taking me all over Japan, it's so beautiful! 👀👍👌🤩😎😍🥰

[@elainefarr3155]

Love the channel! This was a wonderful trip, I love seeing a glimpse of the other islands visited by the ferry. Thanks!

[@rebeccareese73]

thanks so much for taking us to the aquarium!!!! it was amazing!!!

Even though I can barely string together four or five words in Japanese, reading katakana always makes me feel like a language genius!! At 2:02 … ku-ii-n koo-ra-ru ku-ro-su (クイーンコーラルクロス) = Queen Coral Cross!!

At 9:03, re-su-to-ra-n (レストラン) = restaurant!!

Ha ha, 9:27 is いただきます! I’ve been studying!!

And at 13:49, o-re-n-ji juu-su (オレンジジュース) = orange juice!

Wow, thanks Hakim!🤝

[@extendedrange9755]

That "floating ship" looks like Boeing 929 Jetfoil, I do heard Japan has quite a lot of these

[@SoulOfJustice1994]

This is the kind of room I thought was standard for a solo passenger, if there were no fridge. Since watching Kuga's Travel and Solo Travel Japan, I know better.

[@WaiferThyme]

22:46 Beetlejuice!😂

[@Floortile]

The exterior signage at the embarkation terminal seemed very poor (?). What a fun trip, though!

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip, finally you visiting Okinawa. Something interesting about Ferry from Japan's main islands to Okinawa is the vehicle deck which usually loaded with vehicle, but on this route it's loaded by containers. I don't know the size of those containers, but looks like it's about 20 ft or even less, only for Japan Domestic Usage. Nice room by the way, and yeah you met jet foil ship.

[@ceritadesy3755]

Great ferry and great trip...I love it

“The Holy Trinity”. 😂😂😂😂

[@debbiecurtis4021]

The cabin is disappointing, but at least it's private, and for only one night. I've had worse, but not much worse. I'd love to take a ferry to Okinawa next time I visit Japan.

[@strokerecovery3879]

Thanks for sharing... My dream of coming to your country 🥰

9:35 OOH! HYDROFOIL!

[@auroraa656]

I'm new to your channel. Thanks for sharing your travel vlogs with us. I liked and subscribed 😐

[@fuddyduddy]

@9:55 I would be worried if the ship is sinking (草)

[@danahess1974]

Really small room for $208...would think the bed would be a little more than a thin mattress too, for that price.

[@fliegendespferd17]

I realy want to visit Okinawa one day!!! It looks so stunning 🥰😍

[@gingerschatshow]

Glad you had fun... The Ferry ride looks really comfortable and spacious. :D

[@matthewharty6531]

great commentary to a nice journey, thanks Kuga

[@ljosephdumas3113]

The floating ship is a hydrofoil, though you probably know that.

[@RowanRJ73]

Boy I hope they didn’t go to overboard with the tea. 😂

[@wilfredpeter3059]

Please more travelling in and around Okinawa ,not just the city but small village too....

[@bryanlorang417]

Hey Kuga! The color of the ocean was amazing! Where did your flight take you? Thanks for another great vid bro.

[@donn7261]

I was hoping you would go to the southern islands sometime. Thanks for the ride.

[@catenthusiast3421]

The "flying ship" is a type of hydrofoil ship so the ship is pushed off the water to move faster. 😃

[@Kusam369]

Very beautiful 😍

[@purplestripes4076]

Such a beautiful video! Also, maybe dumb question, but could you also comment on whether foreigner and local prices are different?

[@moogmike1]

Kuga San, there is no denying that Japan is a beautiful country.

[@walkhereindonesia]

I'm so inspired to vlog on a ship like you, but I don't have enough money. ha ha ha finally I made a vlog inside a ship-shaped hotel. quite similar. ha ha.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I want to visit Naha

[@debbiecurtis4021]

What provision is there on these ferries for passengers who don't read Japanese? I probably wouldn't be able to complete the boarding pass unaided, so is there someone to help? Also, I like washlet toilets, but can't read all the kanji. Are instructions for washer, AC, TV remote available in English?

[@eyenpersu5248]

04:58 I thought this was a huge tank of some kind hahaha, then realized it was not on the floor but the desk and was actually a quite normal sized kettle.

[@bethduffey247]

Kuga-San, does a passenger ferry travel from Tokyo to Okinawa? One time when I lived in Japan, I stayed several days in Kumejima (an island near Okinawa). It was beautiful, with white sand beaches. Some of the food was more like Taiwanese cuisine than Japanese cuisine. You may want to visit there sometime!

[@winerek9695]

DONE.

[@tinyt9189]

Will visit Okinawa in June but didn’t know about the ferry. Already booked flights. Ferry experience would have been an adventure to itself.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I like the whale shark at Okinawa Aquarium. There was a whale shark in Osaka Kaiyukan in 1995 to 1997 which I visited a few times. I'd love to dive with a whale shark.

[@MrMax89]

this was awesome!! I am forecasting a video on the flying ferry!?!?

[@christianerousseau511]

Just one question, is there a reason for travelers having to do their own bed so often ?

[@bryan3dguitar]

Was there a mattress? Really? If so, I'd recommend bringing an inflatable air mattress and perhaps a sleeping bag. To keep real cozy...

[@marybumpass1374]

Thank you. I didn't know there were ferries to Okinawa. I was born on Okinawa.
