I love travelling in Japan,but I travelled more miles by Shinkansen than Japanese ferry. I only did shorter voyages.

Congrats on 1 year!!🎉 This was the best anniversary trip!! The room was really nice and that sunrise was amazing!! Your humor cracks me up!! Thanks 'curry freak' (lol) for a wonderful trip!❤️

As someone who enjoys classical music, the best part of this video was the beautiful piano played in the background.

[@ronjohnson5070]

These trips are really fun to watch. I like that you show the meals, gift shops and vending machines and not just the view outside.

[@kathleenevans1201]

The music in the grill is very relaxing dinner music. The meal was presented very nicely, too!

[@jevvvNZ]

Is it only a year? It seems so much more than that - so many trips, adventures, curries. Thank you once again for sharing it with us. The suite looked fantastic and so much room! The bathroom was enormous and the bath looked wonderful. I do hope they provided enough food, although I was a little disappointed you couldn't change anything on that menu. Good to know that you have your priorities right about getting some curry once you arrived in Niigata! The curtain will be lonely without you

[@AaronSpielman]

Oh my. It's been more than 30 years since I've seen a sunrise at sea (I was in the U.S. Navy in the 80's). You captured it perfectly.

[@edquier40]

Your suite looked very comfortable and to have a tub is just frosting on the cake! That dinner looked sumptuous! Now I really want to visit Japan and ferry from top to bottom and back again.

[@dryroasted5599]

That was a fancy suite. The bath was huge, especially by Japanese standards. First time I've ever watched someone on KZbin carry a conversation with a curtain! 😁 Like most cruise meals, the menu in the dining room is set, although at a higher standard than the buffet. I thought it was odd that they served the miso soup at the end of the meal. Thanks for sharing these trips. I've watched from the start and enjoy your videos.

[@wardvos7925]

I'm glad you recognize the curry problem

[@cj4607]

you're my kind of guy, after an hour and a half dinner with an ice-cream dessert you topped it off with more ice-cream!

[@Bashman1981]

Thank you so much for making and sharing your travel videos. I have seen almost all of them, and they helped me dream of travel to Japan during the worst part of the pandemic. I know it takes extra effort to make the English sub-titles and I appreciate that you do them very much. I hope your travels always have good weather, and a good kurry is always available onboard!

[@AnaSolVa]

Thank you very much for a year of amazing videos! The suite looked amazing, I've been in hotel rooms that aren't half as nice as that one. I liked the bathtub in particular! I do wonder how they handle food allergies on the grill. If the meal is included, I would expect to be able to eat it, and other than the first and the last dish served at dinner, the rest of them would kill me dead.

[@ej3016]

I was thinking the same thing - all the money for that suite and yet no flexibility with meals - someone else described them as underwhelming - I could do without the attempt at a high end restaurant all together - don’t include meals in price of ticket and everyone eat when / where and what they want (or can) - as someone with food allergies I would have had to pay additional cost to eat at the cafe - customer service as far as meals concerned two really big thumbs down👎👎

[@tmntleo]

@@ej3016 Or do include the meals in the price, but make it an option between the fancy meal and a meal ticket that you can use at the main restaurant, so people who like the fancy dish can go there and people who aren't really fussed / have allergies can get some free food at the other place so they haven't lost anything.

[@ej3016]

@@tmntleo sounds fair

[@PwnageFury]

Yes, I have realized watching these that if my husband and i ever travel to Japan we will probably have to do self-catered or at a minimum check out our accommodations very carefully because of food allergies. Until then I am so glad to take it all in through STJ.

[@yvonnestrong3856]

The eating arrangement is very strange, because usually when you book the most expensive accommodation, you'd expect to be given the maximum number of choices, not be locked into a set menu that you might not be able, or just might not want, to eat. Surely they could give you the choice of booking the room with or without the set meals so you could use the regular restaurant for dinner and/or breakfast if you wanted to. They must be getting complaints about this forced set-meal thing.

[@imclok]

Even though you don't show your person, you manage quite well with your gestures and sense of humor, they always make me laugh~thanks for your effort! Oh...almost forgot to say Happy Anniversary!

[@freddidavis7102]

Happy One Year Anniversary 💫🌏⭐️ I loved your conversation with the curtain! “I’ve got you! 🤣

[@timcurry192]

Fantastic introduction and beautiful video 😊💕 That 25 minute walk to the ferry was long but worth it 😊

[@mysticarchfire]

I like how they took the time to put a call box outside, instead of adding a handle

[@ej3016]

SEAGULLS 🤣😂🤣 maybe if that really was a dog park rather than a helipad there wouldn’t be such a seagull problem 🤣😂🤣 many thnx for all you’ve done over this past year - many thnx for taking us along on your travel adventures and now your new food adventures - I lift my glass to the next year 🍺🍺🍺

[@TuckerSP2011]

The dinner looked much better than the breakfast. The suite was just beautiful. I liked the carpet in the hall.

[@Trebuchet48]

Sometimes I've wondered if STJ has a girlfriend. No worries! He has gull-friends! I had a really bad day yesterday. But today was much better, then I found a new STJ video and it became VERY much better. And I didn't even watch all of it yet.

[@Trebuchet48]

Ok, watched it all now. It's a shame about the food. The usual buffet food looks better to me than this did. I'd probably want to get the cheapest cabin with a private toilet. Because I'm old and have to go several times a night.

[@Tailsnpaws]

Very nice! One of your best voyages yet. I must also agree about the meals. Stay well and keep them coming.

Oooooo. Fancy dining and accommodations this time around That dinner was completely worth it, although didn't seem very filling for you. Not surprised you went for the ice cream afterwards. LOL! I'm surprised you don't have another option for breakfast. The room, however, was spacious and I would even say luxurious by comparison to other ferries you've stayed on. Still, it was an experience with the visiting seagulls and fly away curtains. Happy anniversary!! Didn't realize it until you mentioned it. :)

18:08 - I'm not a fun of plum juice, either. Now prune juice... THAT'S some fun! Especially at 3 in the morning when the effect truly hits. 20:10 - looks like a matzoh ball 23:00 - the entire dinner looks wonderful. Sadly, my own tastes are so poor as to make even my fellow Americans look like gourmands, but it's nice to see someone who can appreciate the meal like yourself. 30:00 - That goes double for the breakfast, Thanks for all the great vids.
