Trying an Upgraded Capsule Cabin on the Overnight Ferry in Japan | Hokkaido to Niigata

[@aldonjohngo1212]

i absolutely love these videos, feels like i’m actually traveling. no loud music, no commentary, very straightforward and enjoyable. very nice!!!!!

[@TeriUktena]

Yes, exactly. And the way he narrates things makes it feel like I'm traveling with a friend. It increases the fun. But I'm often hungry after watching. Hmmmm....

[@douglasw.7864]

New subscriber here. Really enjoying the format here. No obnoxious music, or unnecessary narration. More channels could learn from your example.

[@flywan]

I just discovered this channel and literally just finished binge all previous videos and suddenly there's a new video

[@madmommy]

Same!

[@SoloTravelJapan]

Thanks for watching all my videos!

[@johncrwarner]

Definitely a step up from a "standard capsule bed" For one night on a ferry it seems ideal for a budget traveller.

[@DerekArmsden]

I'm loving all these ferries and the options for rooms or capsules… or variations on those themes. These seem like the perfect compromise. Enough privacy to feel safe and cheap enough (I presume) to allow for the fact that you're only going to sleep in it. I'd be exploring everything else while I was awake anyway. I wish we had these in Australia.

[@scambroselauntrellus3681]

This is so enriching. I'm too ill to travel so this is the closest I'm going to get to traveling Japan for a while.

I'm recovering from cancer treatment and find these videos so entertaining while I'm pretty much an invalid for awhile.

[@crocodile1313]

[@Michelenergy]

Oh I also wish you a speedy recovery. I am caring for my elderly mother so I can't travel either -- I feel as if I know almost everything about Japan now from watching these. In the meantime, one of my best friends lives in Japan since 1986, and I hope to visit her some day!

I think it’s brilliant, I was shocked at the quality of videos from the length of time they have had videos on here. I LOVE the calm, restful and peaceful style too. Most music is just noise to me, so this is perfect for me 😀

Have never visited Japan, but like your videos as the country seems to be so organized and structured which I like very much. I have travel with the ferries between Sweden and Finland many times, but have a dream to go to Japan, not just to travel with your ferries but to see everything else that fascinates me about the country.

[@CanYouRememberWhen]

One of your videos just appeared. I watched it, and got hooked. I have been enjoying watching them, now I wish I could travel around Japan, after covid of course. When you were traveling by bus, it felt nice to see a part of the city. You might try to take more bus rides so we can see more of cities, shops or sites. This has been fun, enjoyable and calming, thank you.

[@lass-inangeles7564]

The most beautiful thing about your videos is the complete silence. What a joy! No music, no talking, just as if we were ourselves walking down this boat with a camera. You have mastered the zen form of filming. It is so soothing and peaceful to take a trip with you. And I like the comments and humor too! Superbly done. Master level.

[@patricialegge2482]

Now this capsule cabin wasn't my cup of tea, so to speak, I preferred an actual capsule or the one with the accordion door, it appeared more comfortable. The ferry facilities looked good but the capsule bed let it down for me. I will give you praise though because your videos are expertly done & I really like the idea of captions, no loud music etc. I really enjoy the idea of thinking of doing these journeys. Thank you & well done.

[@aprilbox3766]

i like my fried eggs over sauteed greens or potatoes of any kind. I'll try some mayo next time. i've always wanted to go to Hokkaido (and Beppu) and now I want to go more. i'd go with a local person. i went to indonesia to visit friends who lived there. it was the best way for someone who doesn't speak the local language.

[@elnabjelland-hughes8172]

The capsule room looks very comfortable- I would love to try one someday 😊

[@krisrose219]

I like that you told us the weather. Dry and comfortable. It always sounds cold because of the wind. So glad it was nice 😊

[@jukesd1597]

Very cool! Definitely better than a standard capsule!

[@LoneCanadianPoet]

Great videos! And this is the way I, a Canadian, eat fried eggs with yolk... you have to get a toasted slice of bread and put it under each fried egg. That way you soak up the yolk and you do not waste any. Try Sciracha or ketchup as a simple sauce with a little salt and pepper on top the fried egg and toast. THAT is how I eat fried eggs.👍

[@kakumah]

Otaru is a beautiful city 😍, next time show us more of the cities. God bless you.

[@-Bellana-]

I have fallen in LOVE with this channel. Absolutely adore it. It thoroughly takes me away from where I am and throws me into Japan tourism that I cannot afford as if yet. Thank you!!!!

to sleep inside it is a really nice tiny room. I like all the overnight ferries, busses, trains you have in Japan. If I ever have the chance to visit 'Japan i would like to travel around by ferries and busses and trains, so i would be able to watch the cities during the day and instead of a hotel it is possible to travel to the next destination while sleeping and the next day is time for another city. Thats absolute genious. Thank you for sharing this experiences

Just love all your videos, traveling with you virtually and enjoying the scenery and experiences on trains, buses, ferries and planes are so. I have fun and interesting and even the walking/hiking tours are great. Furthermore I like your sense of humor; it makes the videos more fun to look at. Keep up the excellent work in entertaining us ‘wannabe travelers’ and stay safe.😀

[@NanaLaEnana]

I love placing a fried egg on rice and mixing it together. Mayo in my country is not very good, but I hear Japanese mayo is delicious. I wanna try it one day. Watching the food eat is one of my favorite part of your videos. :)

[@juneallisonramos4120]

First of all, LOVE this channel. Thank you for sharing your travels. Second of all, this might be my most favorite video so far. Although you have a shared room or capsule room, the ferry itself seems to have more amenities than was I’ve seen in the other videos!

[@PB-bn9bq]

That’s looks so nice. I always wondered what the bath looks like on these ships.

[@nemo7782]

Privacy issues with filming. Might be prohibited.

I loved that room! The locking door and extra space is worth it. Just enough room! I am loving the ferry travel! I wonder if anyone has ever had a big wedding on the ferry? They sure have the space for it! Although, the noise would be out of control! Weddings can be rowdy! LOL

Wow! Indeed. That entrance wouldn’t look out of place on a cruise ship.

[@neonplain]

I feel like they could've just added the last few inches to the bottom of the door lmao

[@animes25]

it seems that they do that on purpose to make people pay for the normal room

[@ThyPandora]

The room wasn't intended to be private to begin with - hence the option to pay for better, and more private rooms. ;)

[@kingedwin]

IIRC, Japan has "simple lodging" with shared rooms and regular hotel rooms, and they're regulated differently. The door gap is a way to get around the regulations, so it qualifies as simple lodging, and still have a somewhat private room.

[@trailerparksupervisor7046]

It’s at least $3 of wood per door that they have saved, allowing them to keep the ticket price affordable. Who is going to pay for the extra wood sir? You?

[@SpacePopeIII]

It's probably also a ventilation thing
