Taking Tokyowan Ferry to a Hedden Gem of Tokyo Bay

I took Tokyowan Ferry from Kurihama Port to Kanaya Port and went to Nokogiri mountain in Chiba Prefecture. It was a breathtaking view. It's not too far from Tokyo.

The longer the videos the better..I enjoy these before I go to sleep...like a fairytale before bedtime 🌙 😴

[@carinakawaiii9843]

Since I discovered this channel, never missed a video. It's really satisfying to watch it, thank you.

[@ravenweaver6087]

Same!!!! I can't wait for his posts!!

[@Ltldrk]

Same

[@Mr.Monta77]

Watching this channel, I always get hungry 😂

[@Mew178]

Came for the trains stayed for the ferries.

[@Peajay007]

same here! i get so excited when a new video pops up! where are we going today?? what food will we eat? vending machine or restaurant! will the sea be calm??

[@De-us]

I'll be honest, I usually watch just to see you comment on the food. Idk why but I find that interesting for some reason

[@trevorgurley5632]

“Please calm down Tokyo Bay” Don’t know why I find that so funny.

[@Mr.Monta77]

I suspect North-sea fishermen would have characterised it as a barely noticeable breeze? But it did pick up a bit later tbf.

[@JMarieCAlove]

People like to talk to things and objects as if it will listen to us lol

[@tapestry6455]

Lol

[@matejhantabal235]

Please don't change :) I love your style of videos, really refreshing and nice!

[@STSGaCa]

Seeing a notification of a new video from STJ after a busy day at work really is the best feeling

[@Peajay007]

1 mackerel 2 mackerel 3 mackerel! this is how I'm going to count stairs from mow on! this is my absolute favourite video so far!! the scenery was gorgeous! i love your videos so much and get excited everytime you upload a new one!! thank you for showing me the the amazing ferry system in japan!! i can't wait for your next video!!

[@karenvidgen2312]

Love all your trips,thank-you for taking us along with you. Curious as to what you do for a job or is it just you tube that keeps you busy? Once again thanks for raising a smile every time. Regards from 🇬🇧

[@heyokasd]

That view was absolutely worth it! (says someone who got the benefit without the effort, lol) Thank you for your persistence.

[@Indrakusuma_a]

More of this please! Not the usual tourist spots, but places even the locals know little about. I'm glad you decided to push on even when you're hard pressed on time, it's windy, and cable car out of service. It's beautiful and definitely worth it. And we all know you're gonna go for the cake no matter what, lol.

[@Unan1mouz]

But he didn't say much about the cake! :(

[@annwilliams6438]

Absolutely loved that you walked to the top and got to see the view - for us too! 👍👍👍👍

[@yohannessulistyo4025]

In case people didn't know how lucky catching Mt. Fuji like that: on average, there are only 25% of days in a year when you can get a clear day like that. The only time I can see Mt. Fuji is from the arriving and departing plane. And once onboard the Togendai Pirate cruise ship on lake Ashi (only the top cone protruding from the cloud covers is visible).

[@1plaintext]

I once spent an entire day traveling to Hakone then to lake Ashi in hope to see Mt Fuji, only to find it completely shrouded in fog (it was a rainy day). I know what you mean, I should have spent that (precious) day in Tokyo instead...

[@goldrabbit]

I was just in awe when you start showing the view from the top, it is magnificent.

[@D1NonlyKoko]

13:38 so beautiful!! The climb up the mountain was definitely worth the view!!

[@Seojoonieee]

I'm in school rn, don't have anything to do nor anyone to talk to, and I'm bored. Thanks for the new video, now I have something to watch :)

[@JohnLumagui]

It's a good thing you loaded up on mackerel before hitting those stairs! Wow, what a view!

[@AnaSolVa]

You once again managed to make me hungry. You have my respect for making that hike up, thank you for showing it to us!

[@JanicasJourneys]

Yay! Always brightens up my day when I see that there’s a new video out from you!! 😍

[@qrplife]

What a nice surprise to see Mt. Fuji so clearly on this trip.

[@Maverick626]

i never knew ferry traveling could be so relaxing until i found your channel ( or at least you make it look that way)

[@OliviaCo]

I love to order those special lunch sets, oh my the view is beautiful up there, I think next time we go to Tokyo we will go to this place as one of our day trips, watching from the Philippines

[@cayleenasworldi3647]

Omg I’m early!!!!!!!! This makes me sooooo happy. Your videos are amazing please don’t ever stop. They really do bring me peace

[@kamariahzaharin4744]

What a day! You had a lovely afternoon riding a ferry on bumpy sea, a scenic work out plus delicious food. Thank you for sharing it with us. 👍🏽👍🏽😊🍬

[@j.r.s8737]

Our friend is back!!

[@darkcreatureinadarkroom1617]

I usually find your videos so charming and relaxing, but this video for some reason gave me some warm, fuzzy feelings, like I was feeling the goosebumps myself. Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I'll definitely keep this hidden gem in mind when I finally have the opportunity to visit Japan :)

[@rubaiyatu]

@2:41: I'm a fan of the bicycling-themed manga&anime, "Longriders!" Brought me back to cycling after 25 years away. A most pleasant surprise to discover a standee of the main character from the show on the upper floor deck. Cheers!

[@julianneduncan9488]

I'm pleased that you continued up despite the wind. And left just enough unexplored that I'll just have to go myself to see the rest!

[@Indrakusuma_a]

I thought he was gonna cancel the hike after finding put the cable car was out of service. Glad he pushed onward and upward. The view is definitely worth it. Too bad we didn't get to see the higher ground though.

[@monicatosi1861]

I look forward to each video, they are relaxing, interesting and beautiful. Thanks !

[@michaelplesch]

You have a voracious appetite! Enjoyed the vid

[@christopherfranklin972]

What a great adventure with so much for us to enjoy thanks to hard work and mackerel! Fujisan is always amazing. Thank you again.

[@jessicanippes1730]

Thank you very much for giving me adorable pictures from around Tokyo, i am over impressed, it is really beautiful!

[@KezFromAus]

Holy Mackerel! That was a lot of stairs! 😂 I laughed way too hard at the "One Mackerel, Two Mackerel...." 🤣 Love your videos and always look forward to the next one! I enjoy your sense of humour too! Japan is so beautiful! Thankyou for another fun excursion!

[@donnamanitu8673]

I was just thinking of you today and hoping to see a new video from you. I retired January 2019 and was just getting into all the new traveling that I could finally do now that I was retired. For 2020 I had booked us a cruise and land tour of Alaska which has been a dream bucket location. For June 2020 we were supposed to go on a transatlantic cruise followed by a week and a half in London. For 2020 we also had another cruise booked which would of taken us to Russia but everything was cancelled. With your videos I can sit back and learn about travel in Japan so when everything opens up I am ready. Also, since you love the Curry so much you should get it every time and don't worry about showing us new foods. I loved it on the other video where your finger "slipped" and you ordered it :)

[@bobbyduckjoe516]

Loved watching this, looks like a beautiful location. I'm using your videos to help me try and manage my anxiety, so thank you.

[@GraphicDesignerStephen]

I love watching you travel on ferries and trains, but I also really enjoy when you take the time to explore an area and share it with us. Thank you for making such a wonderful videos. They always brighten my day!

[@ashamar]

Holy cow! I've been there! In the early 90's, we were in Yokosuka for about a week, and a group of us when to Nokogiri mountain while on liberty. I remember that climb and the utterly incredible view. I don't think they had the sign up then, as I didn't know that it was a quarry from the Edo Period. Thanks for bringing back a really fun memory for me.

[@Murasaki.]

Thanks for sharing this video!

[@GregCurtin45]

Thank you Solo. I think the highlight (for me) was seeing Mount Fuji. I've seen it in pictures and online but it is different when you show us as I feel like I am with you. I'm not big on mackerel but anything made terriyaki style would be delicious. Thanks for the close ups of the food and the German cake. Please stay safe and can't wait for our next trip together. Thank you for the time you put into filming, editing, and adding subtitles.

[@SideShowAli]

Lol I had a feeling you wouldn't leave without stopping at baumkuchen 🤭 what a beautiful Mountain! Your trips are always so nice to watch! 🤗

[@tek87]

This is right near where i live. Right next to that port is Perry's landing where Commodore Perry landed his Black ship fleet and opened Japan to trade. I was actually planning on going out Kanaya that very day but canceled due to the wind. Last time, i got stranded in a typhoon and was worried. Glad to see you in my neighborhood. Try the Oshima ferry next.

[@petegregory517]

Ever since I was stationed in Oki in ‘72 I’ve wanted to come back and see as much Japan as I could. Not only the country I wanted to see but also the cutest ladies on the planet.

[@gus473]

👍🏼So glad you didn't have to climb all those stairs on an empty stomach! 😉✌🏼

[@simontipeneadlam3881]

Very satisfying viewing of your travels - I gain much knowledge through your generosity.

[@sharonolsen6579]

9:30 !! That meal looks delicious !!!

[@TXMEDRGR]

A little chop in the sea adds to the fun of a boat trip.

[@Wonhobaby]

I lost it when you start counting by Mackerels while going up the stairs XD

[@neenmach]

Beautifully. I like this trip a lot. That was some shaky seas coming across. Great video

[@yokaidokena3659]

I envy you. I wish that I could be with you on these trips and leave the world behind. These videos are bitter sweet to me. I get to see the sights and hear the sounds, but I can't be there in person. I am just having a bad time in life now, please do not take this as negative I am just saying count your blessings and be humble about them. Please make more, at least I can pretend I am there!

[@tomdchi12]

I didn't know that you could see Mt. Fuji as large as that from the area around Tokyo. I think I understand a lot better why the mountain has as much cultural importance as it does. This was a really interesting location that I knew nothing about and seems like a fantastic trip away from Tokyo for a day.

[@triarb5790]

We went travelling Japan for a month in 2019. Flying into Tokyo I saw this massive triangular thing sticking out above the clouds. It took several seconds to register, then I got so excited realising I was seeing Fujisan. I'd heard so many people say you are lucky to see it at all, so assumed this was it,my one viewing. Our Tokyo hotel room had a clear view of it, we stayed in Hakone and saw it closer up from Owakudani. We saw it on the train to and from Kyoto and many other spots we visited including in Tokyo Bay. Leaving Japan, we saw Fujisan saying a majestic goodbye to us, with the setting sun burning it red on its snow cap. In all I counted that we got fantastic views of this mighty mountain more than 20 times. 😊 I am seriously hooked on Fujisan its "my" mountain .🗻⛩

[@katie19988991]

My boyfriend and I get SO excited when you post. Your videos have become part of our bedtime routine! I hope you keep making them :)

[@gretchengraham6266]

Perfection! I loved every minute! Your videos inspire and motivate me to get out of my rut.

[@youngraines851]

So happy to see that in the more touristy places, there's English language alongside the Japanese language. It just helps outsiders to understand the menu, the places, the instructions that come on the intercoms @ the ferries, trains etc. You're lucky to be young & strong - we couldn't have made it up the staircase. But the view of Tokyo Bay is SPECTACULAR. Thank you for sharing your trip with us on youtube - we ENJOYED it very much. Thumbs up!

[@dlewis9760]

I'm in my 60s. Getting UP the hills is fairly easy. Goin DOWN the hills really takes a toll on my legs.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

Thank you for taking us along with you! I really enjoyed this, and I hope that there are other hidden gems close to home for you to share with us.

[@edquier40]

A wonderful adventure! Thanks for taking time to get some good closeup on the FOOD! You are my brother when it comes to trying food! I love it! Keep up the good eating!

[@krystaaaalkay]

Thank you for taking us along on this little daytrip. Your camera captured the view from the lookout spot in beautiful detail!

[@AmbientWalking]

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go travel across Japan together! Love this video! Amazing! : )

[@JustinCarpenter]

I don't know your name, your voice, or your face, but I have traveled with you dozens of times, and you are the very best company, Solo. Thank you, so much, for being half the world's gentle, silent "travel ghost." You may never show your face or speak, but your "voice" and your presence are unmistakable, and traveling with you, through your videos, is wonderful. Thank you so much for the opportunity to travel with you.

[@johnnychopsocky]

That fried mackerel looked like it needed a splash of hot sauce. Thanks for allowing us to spectate your day trip. What a gorgeous area.

[@RumMonkeyable]

This was FUN!! More trips like this, please! 👍😎🤗💕

[@kennyj604]

Makes my day when you upload a video. Your videos are simple yet so engaging and informative. One day I hope to visit places you have highlighted. Thank you. Cheers from 🇨🇦

[@ej3016]

seeing Mt Fuji reminded me of the first time I saw / went to the Rockie Mountains in 🇨🇦 beyond words beyond words

[@drewcorry5056]

Outstanding To See Mount Fuji. Lunch Looked Very Yummy. I Would Have Had A Kiren Beer To Wash It Down. Congrats You Made It & Still Went. Some Of The Best Views I Have Ever Seen.

[@silly_potato_goose7396]

I always get so happy when you upload a new video!

more trips like this please :) love it

[@michalislamprinos38]

What a view from the top...Wow 🤩🤩🤩

[@darolodhiga]

I have made the trek around Tokyo bay many times as a visitor and when I lived there. I would start in Tokyo, go to Kurihama, take the Tokyowan Ferry, get off at Hamakanaya, eat at The Fish, buy Baumkuchen and Milk Manju then take the train back to Tokyo. I was always a little afraid of going into the mountain, but I will budget extra time and do it next time! Thank you!

[@samsanimationcorner3820]

This is definitely one of your best videos yet! I love it!

[@thebittenmac]

Very interesting short adventure. The places look very beautiful 👍

[@ajblell]

I appreciate your minimalism

Thank you for taking us along to such a beautiful place! As always, an enjoyable and relaxing time.

[@josephshawler1901]

Like many of the other's have already said, I don't miss any of your videos. I really enjoy them and appreciate you sharing your adventures with us. I especially enjoy the longer one's where you share more of the scenery, as well of more of the Ferry too. Thank you for allowing us a to share the adventures!

[@anzo75]

Fun fact: in my city there is a very famous mountain called Resegone, who means "Big saw" in italian dialect. I live in Lecco, Lombardy, Italy. Can't wait to return travel in Japan :)

[@meidianmedia4469]

Because the mountain looks like saw? 😆 Let me tell you about one from my country. There's a mount called "Tangkuban Parahu", which means "Flipped Boat". Local legend tells a story about a man who kicked a boat out of anger until it flipped. And the boat became the mount. And yes, the mount does look like a flipped boat 😄

[@samsanimationcorner3820]

@@meidianmedia4469 Are you Filipino? One of my best friends is Filipino and that looks like Tagalog.

[@imsbvs]

Great to watch another of your videos, to see similarities in Japan as here (UK) and differences too, for instance the food, as a person who can't just eat anything I think food would be a challange for me.

[@Aurriel]

What a nice get away! And I love Baumkuchen!

[@slkriderchick]

What an amazing experience!! You didn't meet many people along the way except on the ferry, the restaurant/cafe and the ferry back so that made the experience on the top of the mountain so beautiful without a crowd of people around. This would be the best time to visit Japan without dealing with tourists, but it does make it seem eerie everywhere you've gone to film with no people around. You definitely earned your mackeral that day. I knew you'd go back for that bakery treat!! LOL.. Love videos and keep them coming.

[@HappyComfort]

It’s interesting how water can hit hard like a rock 😯 Thank you for the interesting travel video 😁👍🥳🌷

Thank you for another golden video.

[@janaded.894]

This video is quite different from your other videos, still I love it. Sometimes, at the weekend, before the pandemic, I would hop on a bus and do a little trip just like this. Thank you for sharing your experience. I enjoy this video a lot.

Thank you for sharing, shame about the wind spoiling your trip somewhat. Kudos for walking up all them steps!!

[@4071816]

Been there before too, local cuisine is great, the view is excellent. Also for Top Gear fans (the British car show), the mountain is the goal for one of the epic races between Clarkson (in a R35 GTR) vs May and Hammond (public transport)... Definitely worth visiting again

[@rezaalan3991]

What a great day trip, not far from metropolitan area, great place to escape from busy weekdays. When i see the map, actually you can drive around bay or crossing the bridge, but with ferry crossing you can save some energy for hiking the mountain.

[@imaramblins]

Beautiful view from the mountain, and that fish looked delicious. All I could think when you showed the two big cities is a Kawasaki motorcycle with Yokohama tires on it...

[@blankadams3120]

Hurray! Good to hear you survived the choppy waters on the return trip!

Enjoyed the view. Thank you, as always, for taking us along and up those many steps. Perhaps you can visit again, when it’s calmer, and take the ride to the top!
