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.

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.😊😊😊

[@ohnoflicks]

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

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!

[@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!🤝

[@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.

[@THEJake829]

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

[@timsmith1894]

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

Wow, thanks Hakim!🤝

[@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.

[@TheUluxian]

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

[@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.

[@AmbientWalking]

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

[@kamewawong]

Love the floating Jetfoil

[@dskadd32]

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

[@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🙏📿✝️⛪️🤲🇯🇵

[@jeffharper6259]

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

[@wintersunshine-kb9tq]

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

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I like the shredded seaweed on the rice.

[@bmolitor615]

seigaiha on the floor, so appropriate!

[@notreyf]

Thank you for sharing an absolutely amazing journey. That aquarium. WOW!!!!!

[@GenjiG]

Visiting Okinawa in November, can’t wait! ❤

[@carolemerle9995]

That aquarium looked awesome. Thank you for bringing us along on your journey.

[@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!

[@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!

[@rebeccareese73]

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

[@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 !😊

[@tomburns7544]

Thank you so much for another wonderful video, Kuga! 👍

[@TCLink]

At 16:05, very nice composition.

[@Lucian-h2j]

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

[@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.

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

[@strokerecovery3879]

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

[@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.

[@danopticon]

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!!

[@danopticon]

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

[@danopticon]

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

[@danopticon]

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

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

[@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 😎

[@kenterdman7969]

My friend, I don't think you room was big enough. To change your mind in. Ha ha! Have a great day!

[@Trebuchet48]

Don't be scared! I wanna go to that aquarium!!

[@wilfredpeter3059]

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

[@jazzjazz5708]

Nice Trip

[@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 😬

[@MrMax89]

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

[@andrewjones-productions]

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

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

[@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.

[@andrewmastrandonas5123]

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

[@bryanlorang417]

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

[@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.

[@catenthusiast3421]

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

[@Desmaad]

9:35 OOH! HYDROFOIL!

[@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!

[@RowanRJ73]

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

[@purplestripes4076]

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

[@christianerousseau511]

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

[@winerek9695]

DONE.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I want to visit Naha

[@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.

[@ianendangan7462]

9:38 Japan still use hydrofoils? Greetings from the Philippines 😊😊😊

[@ahumanbeing812]

21:49 "This is my first time in Okinawa." Did you try Okinawa seafood? I visited Okinawa ten years ago. I loved the seafood there! 😃

[@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?

[@ljosephdumas3113]

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

[@Desmaad]

14:10 Does "getanha" translate to "clog teeth"?

[@billhunnicutt3883]

The color of the ocean was incredible. You said there was a special word for it, in Japanese I assume?

[@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.
