Johannes Knudsen was a danish machinist / engine engineer on the MAERSK ship Ellen, who duing a storm off of the coast of Wakayama, saw a japanese ship in distress. He tried to save the people on board but unfortunately drowned duing so. He was posthumously awarded the Order of the Rising Sun.

[@Motherhubbard170]

Thank you for this great info, well deserved respect for Johannes

I came down to the comments to see if someone found out who Johannes was. Thank you so much for posting this. The mystery would have driven me insane.

Solo-san picked a wonderful travel companion! Johannes Knudsen was a heroic sailor who died trying to help a Japanese that was struggling in a storm. I can't imagine a more honorable and deserving recipient of this auspicious award 🫡👏

[@shunqi-br4xu]

I like how Johannes suddenly became your traveling companion. Also new info aquired : Pandas creep solo-san out

😂 @ 3:55 “Look at them with their scenery-capturing technology”. You never fail to make me smile and giggle a bit to myself when watching your lovely, relaxing videos. And the quality of your content is always staggeringly breathtaking. So, as always….thank you for sharing your adventures in food and travel with those of us who cannot get out and experience it first hand. You’re a blessing young man. ✌🏻💕😃 *I have three favorite KZbin channels and your’s is one of the “big three”. I would be so sad if you stopped producing such lovely content* My other fav. channels are Best Ever Food Review Show and Solo Travel Japan/Solo Travel Food. As far as I’m concerned, the content you produce is on par with my other top favs. You always put out beautifully rendered videos. The best part is that you’re also interesting, humorous and kind. Plz… keep up the good work! And congrats on your sponsorship!!! 😊😅

[@gizmogal89]

Congrats on getting ad sponsored, Solo-san! This ride looks quite nice, with so many sightseeing stops along the way and food. I wish more train stations in the USA had regional food for sale 🤔👍

[@lovelyxpsycho]

Solo Solo Travel has been one of my favorite channels to watch when I want to relax or wind down before bed, but holy HECKO, the subtitles! A channel that once was a source of calm has now transitioned to a complete comedy. If the creator is subtitling these themselves, BRAVO. Their wit is absolutely hilarious and I’m thankful for it. Having a laugh during down time is relaxing in a way. 😂

[@aolanikunisan]

My boyfriend and I are hooked on your videos and watch it every dinner. I didn’t know you were from Madagascar! I’m also a Japanese who grew up in South Africa (oddly feel a connection)Great video as always and waiting to see more.

[@theactualdarthvader]

that 75min stop area looks like the perfect place to just simply relax. no crazy noises going on except the waves and wind

[@sarahstrong7174]

I like the way it is possible to visit small stations & thay there may be a little art or music there. In the U.K. there is rarely anything playful & if you stop at a small station you will probably be stuck there for more than an hour, with no food & drink & probably not even a warm waiting room, even if the weather is cold.

[@heyokasd]

I cackled at "that cat almost got isekai'd". 😆 Fancy chickens! Congratulations on the sponsorship! And good job incorporating it in a very on-brand way. :D

[@MaximSm777]

Japan is a very beautiful country. The trains are all beautiful, of any class. I noticed that all the trains have large windows, it's beautiful. The food is also served very beautifully, like a ritual for a beautiful meal. I really like the respect for each person, it's very nice to see when people respect each other.👍❤️❤️

[@_marylya]

На ютьюбе много каналов о путешествиях, в том числе от японских блогеров, но ни один из них нельзя сравнивать с вашим. Спасибо за то, что берёте нас с собой.

[@finfan83]

Like how this train set has headlights outlined in white line that runs whole side long. Seaside trip is also lovely ! And there is food in there too ! Even deer stuff ! It's very surprising how every station has that greeting commitee with banners, welcoming everyone. They hire special people to do that or it's additional burden for rail workers ? Congrats on meeting Johannes :) 16:19 - that's cute !

[@naomimoore9533]

I'm shocked at how much you got to experience and see and also eat with $80 on the train ride. What an awesome experience. Congrats on your sponsor! Your videos are very relaxing to watch.

[@BillCameronWC]

What a lovely trip and the beautiful seascapes and sunny weather along the way made it even more delightful 😂. By the way near the end in your very nice looking dinner box you mentioned there were some pickles, which immediately triggered late-evening hunger pangs in me, so as I don’t have any German/French sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) in the house at present, I immediately went along to my store cupboard and opened a jar of Korean kimchi (similar to sauerkraut, but with added garlic 🧄) which easily satisfied my ‘munchies’ 🤣😋. The gentle humour in your videos is so nice - greetings from the UK 🇬🇧.

[@gyro5anchez]

Thanks again for a lovely trip! I can't get over how beautiful those bento-boxes are composed. Looks delightful! And to think that in my own country of sea-farers, there are lots of people who don't like fish. Unbelievable...

I'm Danish and i had to look Johannes Knudsen up. I had no idea who he was. Apparently he was an engineer on a Mærsk ship in 1957 who tried to save a Japanese ship in trouble. He lost his life. Not sure if he managed to save the Japanese sailors before he died. Anyway. While we have forgotten him, it seems you guys has not.

[@clo-electra]

Bonjour👋Solo-solo, merci pour cette sortie très agréable. Avec une magnifique vue sur la mer calme et bleue🏖. Ce que j'ai aimé dans ces chapitres se sont les salutations des représentants de chaque gare quand le train reprend son chemin pour moi c'est très sympathique👍. La nourriture locale à chaque arrêt donne vraiment envie d'y goûter😋. Être accueilli par des pandas ou des grenouilles c'est mignons et génial😃. Merci pour cette belle journée et à bientôt pour une nouvelle excursion🤗.

It is so good that there is the possibility to lay down on the train. In the U.K it is virtually impossible to travel if you have a bad back. It is very restrictive. Offering the chance to lay down would make it possible to travel, for many who can not.

[@AmbientWalking]

Fun! Enjoyed this a lot! Always so good to look at your videos and experience them!

Thank you from all the way from Canada. 🇨🇦
