Overnight Ferry Trip on the Rough Sea of Japan | Niigata to Hokkaido

[@theresaluvspims6163]

Yay! You took us on a ferry! I have discovered that I rather enjoy the ferry over any other means of travel in your videos. The first-class train was awesome but I love the ferries. I enjoy choppy seas. Everything about the sea is fascinating. Plus you have captured some beautiful sunsets and sunrises on the ships. I really liked the room this trip and of course the beef curry. Safe travels.

[@amputeeright]

It looks like you had a good trip despite the rough seas. The food looked delicious, especially the steak box. Thanks for taking us along- your videos are helping me cope with some tough family events. Stay safe!

[@sunshinethrutheice8554]

At one point in this video I was beginning to wonder if you were the only person on this ship. Did not see other passengers, nor crew. Gave a whole new meaning to Solo Traveler.

[@hansmueller3029]

You make your videos with such care. The videos are very original and pleasing to the senses. I feel as though I am experiencing the motion of the sea and the taste of every bite of food. Thank you for allowing us to be your travel companions !

[@AuntK68]

You certainly handled those rough seas like a pro! And that footage of the surf at the end was beautiful.

[@tammydodson7589]

My son and I love watching these ferry videos. Looks like you had a good trip even though the weather was bad.

[@trudatbellyfat7358]

I always love the "Here we go :)" every time you board! It makes me smile 😃

[@AndreiTupolev]

Now that looks the most luxurious ferry yet. That bedroom's worthy of a cruise ship 🚢

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I could live there. It's luxurious.

[@Mr.Travelchannel]

Traveling by ferry is very relaxing, especially in Japan 🇯🇵

[@hamdinger7145]

You have never been on the Staten island ferry

[@Mr.Travelchannel]

@@hamdinger7145 I hope to make a video there

[@BigPhilBigBike]

Love it! I couldn't imagine being on a ship in a storm like that. If you want to film out of windows at night, try wrapping a scarf or tshirt around the lense of the camera and press it up aginst the bottom of the window, so the fabric makes a seal.

[@nintendoatarikiller]

A restaurant menu tablet with pictures is like an introvert's dream come true.

[@lifeyumtravel]

I’ve been in Japan for 3 years now and I think I’ll add this to my bucket list. I enjoyed watching this video 🤗 Thank you!

[@AudioKyrios]

I used to live in a harbor town, and the only way you could get to another city was by boat or plane. These videos sure take me back, thanks for the great content!

[@FandersonUfo]

not a single grain of rice is wasted in this video

[@jennbender1553]

The man loves his rice!

[@Chellz801]

Rice is life

[@malinirajendra224]

It's like you stole my line just kidding 😂 I felt the same too

[@sammy61187]

How much Rice does this guy eat haha

[@ej3016]

🤣😂👍

[@helenel4126]

I'm glad it was only the vending machine that threw up, and not you. Your appetite was excellent, as always!

[@7passionstar]

You and Curry meet again! 😋 Thank you for the fun!

[@madmommy]

The seasick vending machine! I love all of your videos, but I’m always happiest to see a new ferry video. And curry!

[@Supernaut2000]

The food on the ferry would be what a top end Japanese restaurant here would serve, for a LOT more money too! Yummy!

[@jackiejenkins4078]

I'm a Mom, so of course I worried about wether you had your medicine with you! 🤣 glad you remembered and glad the ferry had your back just in case. All in all, looked like a pretty nice trip with good food and a nice a room! 😄

[@hobbyistcollection8780]

Just visited Niigata 2 weeks ago and I already missed Japan. As always very relaxing videos to watch.

[@madisonbleu5013]

A new ferry ⛴ trip video with beef curry 🍛! Yay!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉 I enjoy all of your videos on this channel but the ferry trips are my favorites. I love the captions and your humor 😀. Thanks so much for taking us along!

[@karldammann]

The view of the sea outside your balcony is so calming to me, so serene! I could EASILY fall asleep to that, thank you for sharing!

[@jprice8999]

Thank you for another great video. I’ve been watching for over a year. You live in best country in the world!

[@gus473]

🤢 No, I don't think I would have made this trip without some stomach difficulty. You're a better seaman than I am! 😎✌🏼

[@netrhyda8761]

Very nice! Great food and nice ocean waves, what could be better than that? Thanks for taking us along!!

[@lesbw356]

YIPPEE!!!! I have been waiting so long for a ferry trip. Thank you for this wonderful trip. I never get to go anywhere fun.

[@taniasalu2405]

No wonder you felt full, you are single-handedly keeping the rice industry of Japan profitable.

[@christinare439]

I have insomnia ❤ you're videos help me rest.❤ Thank you.

[@DavidKAnderson]

That Hokkaido beef looked fantastic!

[@Peajay007]

I’m now so invested in your videos I actually talk to my tv like I’m talking to you and you can actually hear me!! 😂 FYI the weather here in Melbourne Australia is exactly the same 100 kilometre winds and torrential rain!! My umbrella is so unhappy!!

[@burrongos]

I love it when you upload your travels on ships, it is so good…!! It makes me feel relaxed even with turbulent waters…!! Thank you my friend, hope you had an amazing trip (everything included of course)

[@lagbait3076]

I love that now having the motion sickness medicine he has just become hungry, we may have created a monster. Also for the crew to make an announcement over the speakers to reassure the passengers was a really nice touch.

[@otumba]

I really enjoy your program and your sense of humor, thank you! And I love watching what you eat.

[@RihlaChannel]

A beautiful video worth watching.... Thank you

[@alexflores7652]

Pretty swanky looking just coming aboard. Those cabins look to be the size of regular hotel rooms.

[@brucetownsend691]

It’s somehow kind of peaceful and cosy looking out at the rough sea.

[@malinirajendra224]

The room is like any beautiful hotel room 😍 just that this one's sailing ⛵ 😍

[@janesmith1008]

You certainly can pack away a lot of food! I'm impressed.

[@trishagail353]

Curry✅️ large rice✅️ motion sickness meds✅️ All bases covered for an amazing ferry experience. Thanks for another great video!

[@AnaSolVa]

I'm glad you had motion sickness medicine with you this time! And a more comfortable room than the time with the typhoon

[@mariemorgan7759]

I love eating plain white rice made the Cuban way with olive oil. Goya black bean soup and white rice is my favorite!💕😎🌴

[@charmoka]

Me too! Add some chopped jarred pimentos, some oregano and red onion and you will be in heaven!

[@gerald5344]

That Hokkaido beef steak looks so delicious.

[@paracog]

Very brave to have big meals on rough seas! Thanks for the great shared trip.

[@jameshanlon2998]

I love this channel... My father grew up in Japan and could speak fluent Japanese. Not bad for a westerner. I really enjoy your adventures and watching the different foods you choose. I would have the beef curry as well, but would pass on the cold noodles. Keep doing these videos... we love to watch them.

[@gabrielleeliseo6062]

Lmao. Love your sense of humor. Thanks for the tour! :)

[@jamieohiogal9559]

I enjoy learning recipes for many of your video dining choices. So interesting for me to try.

[@ncc1701chris]

Another great video. I love these boat videos. Very nice to watch.

[@NotesClef]

Hooray! A ferry video! I have missed your travels by ship, so it is a good day!

[@sandygrogg1203]

Thsnks for taking us along… The meals looked delicious…and your cabin was nice. I lived in Missaqa in 1954… Live in Cincinnati, Ohio noe. ❤

[@gi169]

Always look forward to your videos SJT. Thank you.

[@cherrytomato6139]

I am binge-watching your videos and learn a lot about ferry travel in Japan. It never crossed my mind it can be an alternative to shinkansen or flight. Thank you so much.

[@blankadams3120]

I didn't recognize this ferry until you stepped out onto the barbecue grill area... My first thought when you mentioned the storm was 'Bring dramamine!' and then you mentioned having sea sickness meds.

[@janiceszewczyk9630]

OMG when I see you had a video, got my snacks,drink( diet Pepsi), Christmas lights are on,, I'm ready for the trip🛳️

[@jevvvNZ]

Yay awesome curry and rice! So glad you didn't get seasick.

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

Shin Nihonkai is definitely looking like a winner to me. If I ever actually get to go on vacation in Japan, I'll definitely set up around one of their longer ferry trips....

[@shygorilla8082]

The curry looks fabulous.

[@djor316]

Solo this was interesting to say the least. Glad you got your Curry to eat. Looks so yummy.God Bless and be safe.

[@K1ZEK]

My wife and I enjoyed your video very much. We were caught twice at sea in hurricanes so we will check out your other video. Love your humor very cute. By for now. Leo

[@matsalleh07]

Watching your videos, got interested to try Japanese curry. And now I am hooked on it too :)

[@lisa-m-jennings]

This was a lovely video. I am happy to see you fared well despite the rough seas. Thank you for the links you posted to the other videos you mentioned. It is very thoughtful and saved me time to look them up.

[@johngreene5660]

Very enjoyable video and nice to get a snapshot of life in Japan. I was born near the sea so I love videos like this especially during stormy weather. Not really convinced about the beef curry though. Well done.

[@wen-tsouwong3570]

Love it when he scooped up the last grain of rice 😅😅 white rice matter, white rice matter..!

[@JapanShrineTravels]

The food on the ferry looked delicious. Especially the steak bowl! The room looks like a hotel and easy to spend time in. Thanks for the introduction.

[@morriganharker8655]

With the slow reveal at 0:08, I initially thought, "curry?" I find it amusing that that's now my first thought whenever you show food with a slow reveal. Great video once again!

[@BrianBBBB]

I definitely love the rooms with a seperate living space

[@cookiebazookie]

The soba DOES looks yummy. I don't think I can handle the rough waves. I might go into a panic attack.

[@nielsviveen]

I liked the coffee. It was introduced this summer. Iced it was great, a little less sweet than rainbow mountain from Boss.

[@ritchards]

I had a rough sea ferry recently. I was very glad I got my own cabin, with a private bathroom/toilet...

[@johnfoote1168]

Thank you, i want to visit Japan, i will travel by ship from Auckland to Yokohama, this will take some time but i dont mind because i hate flying, i wish someone like you can be my guide, thank you for your showing your country, peace and blessings to your ancestors

[@shirleyellis9708]

A great one I enjoyed so much. 👍

[@cauxzieruffhausen9547]

Always such cute socks.

[@AndreiTupolev]

Some beautiful surf there at the end 🌊

[@kill3st]

That was an absolutely gorgeous sunrise! Thanks for showing us!

[@katiebice3905]

You need 2 thick pieces of copper to fit on the inside of your wrists. Secure it with a soft leather band that you can adjust the tightness with. Keep on your wrists and you will not have sea sickness. A friend used old US pennies. The new ones are just copper coated. She used to suffer horribly with sea sickness until someone on board told her about this. It worked for her. I hope you try it and it works for you.

[@jerrysanders9101]

Excellent job subtitles and filming. Thank you. 🎥

[@eric1800es]

Great dinner!

[@gloriawatson]

Really enjoyed the journey, rough sea and all. At least you had motion sickness med with you. Your meals looked delicious, glad you were able to get more rice. Nice cabin too. Was on a ferry from Scotland to Northern Ireland . . . for every 3 feet we traveled, we were pushed back 2 feet. But like your ferry, we eventually got there. Will see you in the next one. Stay safe and take care.

[@markclayton626]

Was a memorable watch, thank you for sharing and on another note, good luck to Japan in the football World Cup, great start with the win against Germany, best from England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@Simplefng]

Tada Fridge! For someone who never speaks, you got great body language humor.

[@renesagahon4477]

Very nice video. I love the Japanese way of presentation food looked delicious

[@tobiasn.3942]

Another Great Video, made my monday morning. Good Job STJ

[@elizabethbeffert6097]

Lol I love your humor in this video, everything about motion sickness especially the pink seats!… how you’ve missed your curt and the dog park.. when it’s more like doggie jail lol

[@megankistler5238]

You are my favorite youtuber curry freak! 🍛🍛🍚🍚

[@troykm]

I think you only take these trips so you can eat 😂😂 great video as always.

[@centuryrox]

Overnight ferry?? My absolute favorite videos of yours, STJ!!

[@Sunitadash11]

Another ferry ⛴️ trip... Japan ferry are so cool and comfortable..i don't think other countries have this type of ferry facilities.. Japan means awesome 👍😎.Thank you for this video.

[@DeadBaron]

16ft swells?? Absolute madman. I've sailed rough waters before in a little sailboat, I wouldn't want to be out in that weather even in a ship that size

[@prismaticowl]

I'm not sure I could have eaten such a big meal on such a shaky boat! Not without complications, anyway...

[@andyfreer1343]

Great video liked the trip

[@gizmogal89]

Seems okay even with rough seas! A surprisingly peaceful journey. 👍

[@ej3016]

even without the view of the rough sea - I think we get the idea from your description and the menu restrictions just how rough it was - thnx for taking us on another ferry adventure 🤗🇨🇦

[@pauladavitt7554]

I felt seasick just watching the video. Glad you made it safely

[@maximlishafay9670]

Good thing, you said it was a soup in a cup, otherwise I would have thought it was tea😀

[@nearriversofficial]

I love all your videos. I usually watch them before sleep to calm down. Please take care and God bless.

[@noradanae]

I love your video! They are so interesting and relaxing 😍 Your videos help me a lot with my anxiety because my brain can unwind when I had a stressful day. Thank you so much 🙏 Lots of love from Germany 🤗❤

[@AmbientWalking]

Thanks so much for sharing this with everyone! Totally 100% enjoyed myself! Thank you!!!

[@jaimiehorton9669]

I'm so glad you didn't get seasick!

[@theskiesaltiair]

It isn’t a Solo-san video without Curry! 😂

[@happycook6737]

Just looking at those waves gets my motion sickness going. I can feel my stomach rolling too. How did you all manage to eat anything? What a miracle.

[@elliemayormaynot]

Any time I'm on a cruise, I sleep so well when the ship is rocking like that.
