Semi Private Stylish Capsule on the Ferry | Kagoshima to Osaka Japan

[@aslamnurfikri7640]

Idk why but watching his videos while eating is satisfying

[@ozarkeusful]

Ikr?! I do this all the time.

[@twobirdsflipping3217]

I learned to make bonita and kombu dashi for my soya ramen so I can eat with him. He just got off that ferry in Osaka, some of the best food in the world is in Osaka from what I understand. He is sooo lucky;)

[@linguafranca88]

I save his videos for breakfast or lunchtime when I know I'm eating at my desk!

[@imjaesi]

Doing that right now!

[@jamesk370]

I always wait until bedtime to watch his videos. They are so relaxing.

[@KingPK]

The TV swinging out over the bed is a super neat idea for space savings.

[@Skalatsosse]

I was confused what it was at first because of the handle, wondering if they actually put a microwave or mini-fridge in the cabin, but nope, it's a swinging TV. Pretty cool.

[@psikopatte1]

@@Skalatsosse i thought the same 😂😂

[@simoneblue3982]

It was the employees waving goodbye upon departure that did it for me. 👋🏻 👍🏻👍🏻

[@immakatlady8243]

One of my favorite parts of this video! 😄

[@oklahomaisok]

Japanese are very thoughtful people, the customs go beyond formal politeness.

[@rahmatshazi883]

Agreed. Light stick next time! :D

[@bradleykelley2539]

Not all the companies do this, I think this is truly special that they show this respect and reverence to the ship and the passengers. There was time when going to sea might mean not coming back ... and even now there is never a guarantee for any ship! One of my favorite customs from Japan is the showing of respect to all portions of a journey (among other things that they show respect to), such as the ship, the sea, and the passengers. Love the idea of a light stick to show some appreciation back!

[@drakelangham4412]

Absolutely love the Japanese aesthetic of making tiny spaces not only efficient and functional, but also inviting--They don't forget that humans need to live in these spaces.

[@Rtechmobile]

You may want to try a few AirBnB's out first , they look so good online and so frigging tiny and not designed for human habitation in the flesh.

[@maqywhaq]

@@Rtechmobile There are also huge Airbnb that fail to provide a living environment... It tends to come down to having a good eye for spotting the potential problem listings, and having the good sense to know when something sounds too good to be true... As for the "aesthetic" I think you've got it slightly off... It's more of a practical application without losing sight of what they're designing the space for(the need to be space optimized, but not forget that people need to use the space), and commercial undertakings tend to have a bit more budget to the project, so provided a decent company is undertaking the designing/layout process, even if one department misses an important detail, another should hopefully send it back to the sketching out level to fix things before they go to final production...

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

One of the games I like to play is that I pause the video before he tells us everything on his plate and try to guess what it is beforehand. I'm getting pretty good at identifying Japanese cuisine now thanks to this guy's videos, lol

[@marykennedy6347]

I was half-expecting you to come back with curry rice after your main meal at the buffet. :P It's a night and day difference between this ferry and the last one, so interesting to see the wide variations from ship to ship.

[@jasmin0930]

Mary I sort of was sad to see no curry rice because I know how much he loves it 😢

[@Undrave]

Really liking this company's ferries, they look really inviting.

[@oklahomaisok]

It would be a very comfortable way to travel (unless the waves are big then seasickness) and you can walk around and find things to do.

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

I think this video does a really good job of selling it, tbh. Lots of wide shots and warm lighting. Solo Travel Japan is getting pretty good at this

[@vanvorst1999]

Suggestion: Take the ferry with a car so we can see what the process and interior is like. Thanks for the consideration!

[@JMarieCAlove]

Look up the video channel, “That’s travel”, under the title, “Japanese Ferry use Sunflower alone Osaka Kagoshima” It shows the guy driving his car inside the ferry boat, it’s pretty interesting and kind of funny too how deep down he has to go to park his car.

I agree, the perfect room for solo travel. That ferry has great ambiance.

[@CheapCharlieChronicles]

I’m amazed how much different travel options Japan has, never heard of this ferry. Thx 👍

[@hoptoit5910]

It makes me want to visit Japan even more so I can take a trip on one of these amazing ferries!

[@jamesdond614]

It's a big place So I'm not surprised by the range of travel.

[@mortechrome]

I love how neat, tidy and quiet the ferries are. I associate overnight ferry trips with bars, noise, loud music and anything but neatness and quiet.

[@sharonolsen6579]

Another very relaxing and enjoyable video. After watching so many of these, one of my thoughts is this.. Good food can make up for a smaller room.. but even the best room can't make up for bad food.. I thought this little semi-private capsule seemed quite cozy.. I hope it was an enjoyable trip for you.. as it was very nice for me to feel like I was traveling along with you.

[@WaiferThyme]

I so love your videos. The ASMR is amazing and so soothing and it's wonderful being able to just enjoy a travel vlog without useless non stop chatter

[@elnabjelland-hughes8172]

I loved taking this trip with you “in spirit” 😊 The food looked delicious and sunrise and sunset are my two favorite times of the day 😊💕💕

[@StacyL.]

I love watching these videos in the evening when I want to unwind and relax! Thank you for taking us along! ⛴ 🍚 🍜🥢

[@JohnFiala]

I love how this capsule is a teeny tiny room. I also love how they give you slippers when you have maybe two or three square feet of floor in there.

[@TheHawaiianc]

Love the humor in the videos it's very light and makes things more understanding why they do it or shows it's not serious video but also makes you loosen up to enjoy the journey.

[@simvrod]

I like that as you are filming a setting sun you also film a ship in dock called the rising sun.😀😀

[@goksi5883]

Each time I watch your video I feel like I am travelling. It’s so fun!

[@z0tw]

That's gotta be the most packed waiting room yet! Also carrying over 250 vehicles is amazing.

[@kingofalldoughboys]

250 is the capacity. They likely had nowhere near that number aboard from the look of the loading ramp.

[@realstage1925]

The maximum number of vehicles on this ferry is 261. The ferry has helped improve working conditions for many transport companies. Drivers can sleep while on board, so they can drive and earn money as soon as they disembark. Drivers don't have to run in the middle of the night, so the transport company's fleet manager doesn't have to stay awake and can sleep peacefully.

[@notmyname327]

I liked the room! It felt more private than I was expecting, definitely a good option

[@STSGaCa]

Seeing a notification on my phone saying that you've uploaded a video honestly makes my day.

[@NatalieG1981]

I love these videos, they’re so relaxing. I’m watching in bed now and feeling sleepy. Thank you for sharing and I’m looking forward to the next one. 😊 ☺️

[@PeachWookiee]

As I’ve said before, I wish the ferries where I live were this good! Your travel videos are so soothing, especially after work!

[@jasmin0930]

You took the words right out of my mouth PeachWookiee. I find it so relaxing after a long stressful day at work to travel with him all over Japan.

[@brinicole2999]

Me too! We just get a cramped public space with vending machine food. And not Japan quality vending machine food either lol or you just stay in your car.

[@jasmin0930]

@@brinicole2999 so true. We need to upgrade in the USA to Japan style vending machines 😁

[@PeachWookiee]

@@brinicole2999 Or the ferry doesn't have vending machines that work. I'm in Washington state and I'd love to at least see our ferries have good quality vending machine food and drinks.

[@ethanliu4342]

Great video, very relaxing! Just a reminder: Don't forget to bring a light stick next time to wave back to the cute staff! They are so warm :D

[@mikkj1]

You should write a letter to the government that they should have more ferry's - you've already taken them all. ;) The room looked good for a capsule, but I would still need my own bathroom. Just the idea that, if I had to go during the night, that I'd have to get up and wander the ship would bother me. Another great video, thanks.

[@kingofalldoughboys]

That huge ferry only had thirty passengers waiting to board. Japan has no need for more ferries.

[@mikkj1]

@@kingofalldoughboys Next time I joke about them needing more ferry's I'll take that into consideration.

[@laurelbrennan6295]

I was wondering with only 30 passengers how the ferry makes money until you showed all the trucks. It's easy to forget that these beautiful ships are ferries and not cruise ships. Thanks for another great video.

Ooh i like this type of capsule the most so far, nice middle ground between the usual smaller capsule beds and actual room. Cozy enough with some leg space, tv is nice touch.

[@BillCameronWC]

I thought the food offerings, specially for dinner, looked really nice - and extremely reasonably priced. On similar or somewhat longer ferry trips I’ve taken, mostly in Europe, the food offerings were good too, although rather more expensive. Thanks for an interesting and informative video.

[@23majesticblue]

I actually find your videos relaxing and interesting about the ferry's and the Japanese culture in general, they helped me get through my time dealing with Covid. My dad was in Japan during the late 60s and early 70s when he was in the military, the videos kind of bring back memories of the stories my dad would tell me about Japan.

[@BuzzinsPetRock78]

To really surprise the waving staff, get one of those giant foam hands....you should be able to fold it up for transportation :) Also, I love the fact that you are trying to see the sunset, with a ship in the foreground called Rising Sun :D

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

It’s so lovely the staff wave goodbye 💚 I bet children love that. Where I am in the uk it’s still common for children to wave at train drivers & the passengers, it’s also common for children on the train to wave as they pass people. 75% of the time if there are toddlers to young children on the bus they will wave and say bye as they or you get off, including blowing kisses. I used to teach so I don’t care if weird passengers think I’m being silly 😂
