Trying the First Class Royal Cabin on the Japanese Ferry from Osaka

I'm going to take Hankyu Ferry from Osaka to Fukuoka and try First Class Royal, which is the biggest cabin on the ship.
I tried Royal on other Hankyu Ferry from Kobe to Fukuoka before.

I love to watch these video before bed. Its like a comfortable bedtime story....

[@rauleli]

One of the most satisfying things of this videos is when announcement volume inside the room is turned off!

[@chimpinaneckbrace]

That sound would drive me mad very quickly.

Seriously, why does she never stop talking?

[@deirdregarcia2762]

At least they're not singing.

I think the talking and singing is intentional to get people to move out of public spaces quickly and into their rooms

Every time I see Solo on a ship "My Heart Will Go On" starts playing in my head. 🚢

[@graf_f1067]

Dear Solo, thank you for your entertaining videos! We love watching them.

[@christophdeelmann6970]

With every new video, I'm totally excited: What's up for dinner? Will there be curry? I can't wait to find out!

Yay! A new video! Gorgeous sunset!

[@janiceee7345]

Amazing sunset!! I could have watched that scene while drinking tea for a half hour if they had an outdoor chair n table! Pleasant journey, Thanks for sharing your trip 🙂 and your honest review!

[@darwinism8181]

I've always wondered about the top-tier accommodations when you're doing these trips, I'm glad you got this experience to share with us!

This might be the first time I've ever wanted to say that those beds look soooo comfortable! Beautiful blue/green colors, too. Ready for nap!

I have been addicted to this channel for while . I love your camera work and you really film like we are all experience it for the first time,, also love the money conversion . I now have my Marine BF hooked on your videos' they are so relaxing yet informative, you have the best job in the world . I wish you a lifetime of success

[@boyo2012]

Yesss!! Just wrapping up my work day and another STJ video to help me relax! :D Thank you!

[@donnamanitu8673]

I enjoy your videos so much as they helped fulfill my need to be on the water these last few years. We finally got to go on 2 cruises last month and I feel at peace once again. I like all the room tours but it makes me happy when you eat a satisfying meal, with plenty of rice, and then spend the night in a really nice room.

[@AnaSolVa]

Thanks for always taking us with you! I could tell it was an older ship as soon as I saw the couch in your room, and I agree that the Kobe - Fukuoka one is nicer!

[@seachelles7]

Thanks for posting! I still haven’t been able to travel since the pandemic began so I am living through your videos 😊

[@ricksipes2026]

Thanks, Solo for another pleasant after-dinner cruise. I have MY desert watching you eat dinner. I knew those two cookies weren't going to be enough. ha.

[@cyexlceltan3446]

I knew it too. 😆 This is Solo-san we r talking abt. Expected the Monaka ice cream to appear either way.

I think I saw some "stew" in the rice bowl! Haha. Great camera work. Thank you.

[@valsquyres]

Hello, sure.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

The name Funeko is funny, because it's a portmanteau word. It's half "fune", which is Japanese for ferry, and half "neko", which is Japanese for cat, so the name is perfect, it's "Ferrycat".

[@sekhmetsaes]

Oh goodness!! I read it wrong, then! I thought Fu=end/final and neko=cat, so "Destination Cat"

[@lainiwakura1776]

@@sekhmetsaes Maybe it's both?

[@mariblue72]

I got the "neko" part but couldn't figure out what sort of cat. Best I could do was "fun" as in "fun cat" which seemed suitable for a cute mascot but not really Japanese. 😂

[@debbiecurtis4021]

@@sekhmetsaes Clever, maybe it's that too. Smart marketing.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

@@mariblue72 So, it's literally "fun destination ferry cat", that's brilliant marketing.

I love your video's. They're so calming! It's like I'm travelling with you. Thanks

[@uncaringbear]

Even the older ferries seem to be in immaculate condition. The price of the meal also seemed quite reasonable. Perhaps not as fancy as other ships, but it looked very filling and tasty.

[@michellemeentemeyer7047]

I loved it when the volume was turned down in your cabin.

I can't always tell one ferry line from another, but when I see something distinctive like the Sunflower emblem (and song), or in this case the little cookies with the cat mascot on them, I immediately remember which is which!

Great vid as always!

I don't know Solo, that was an awful lot of salad on this trip, you might want to double up on the curry next time just to even things out. 😁

[@jessicanippes1730]

Your videos calm me down, i really like them. Thanks for your hard work ❤ you made me into curry, i found a great restaurant here in Cologne Germany with a lovely tofu curry, yumm😊

[@netrhyda8761]

Very nice! And the cuisine looked delicious as always. I agree there were a lot of announcements.......safe travels, always!!

I want a Funeko pillow!😁🐈

[@elchinator]

4:26 - "Shoehorn", of course... We all have seen enough Japanese movies to know that this actually is a Ninja sword! And the blade comes out by pressing a secret button! You know, to fend off pirates, cleaners, and people singing the Sunflower song!

[@debbiecurtis4021]

That is a huge meal. It would be 3 meals for me. I love Japanese food.

[@scottydoggymama]

The yellowtail does look particularly delicious

[@lisanassy-harrison8670]

Funeko always reminds me of the cat in the Captain Harlock series that hung around Dr. Zero. RIP Leiji Matsumoto

I laughed when he said Funeko cookies for desert…uh huh…right…I’ve seen your appetite and that simply won’t suffice! Ahhh Ice cream, there you go!

[@drxym]

Pretty shabby looking

[@HorWangZaaa]

Can't wait for you to finally go on giant cruise line like Royal Caribbean or Princess.

[@gisleyalves7757]

🇧🇷🇧🇷 Personally, my favorite videos from this channel, are the ones about ferries. Not the fancy ones, but the popular ( down to earth) ones. The things I like the most are: the food, the bathroom ( when its is shown) and the bed. I have the impression that , to take a shower inside these vessels may be something quite expensive because, quite rarely, we see the showers. Am I right? Taking a hot and warm bath; sleeping clean and comfortable on the sea.... must be something quite good. Why do I think in this way? Because you are sleeping with the waves'balance. I have traveled a lot by airplane, but ships...I don't know how to explain this but, the ocean causes fear... a lot of it.🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@susanlee298]

I love these videos. Just can't understand why anybody would need a cabin for a 12 hour trip. Heck, I'd be sleeping on the floor.

[@adamdsjz]

STOP! Video control: Check-in - checked Here we go :) - checked Tour around the room/ship - checked Sunset/sunrise - checked Great meal - checked Extra points for curry/ !! reaction - checked Enjoy and happiness - checked If You found most of those points, You're watching another STJ video :)

Much love to you. It's okay that you are not having Curry, but I understand why you would think we would think you were having curry. :D Dinner looked good.

[@amputeeright]

It looks like the accommodations were comfortable, at least, but the bathroom seemed out of place. The food didn't seem as good as some of your other excursions. Do you have a favorite ice cream? Thanks for taking us along.

[@dancekeb1308]

Call me odd, but when at 2:13 STJ goes to check in and there are only about six people ahead of him in line and he says, "Oops! It's busy today," I had to laugh!

[@cyexlceltan3446]

Still eyeing that "beef stew" with suspicion. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing Solo-san!

[@debbiecurtis4021]

I like daikon radish sauce, especially with tempura ebi.

what a nice and well maintained ferry. I would’ve expected bare minimum since Osaka to Fukuoka isnt that far from each other

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip, agree with your statement, this room isn't great as Kobe - Fukuoka route, but still acceptable.

Hola saludos desde 🇻🇪 tus vídeos son muy relajantes... Ojalá y algún día pueda visitar Japón 😃

[@CameronHuff]

I'd love to visit Japan just to ride the ferries, trains and such.

[@debbiecurtis4021]

Huge ferry

[@gloriawatson]

The cabin was very nice, just a little pricey. But if you have extra to spend, why not? I was surprised about the food. Neither the chicken or soy pulp salad looked appetizing to me, but they were your favorite. We all have our likes and dislikes, that's what makes the world go around. Will catch you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.

[@groermaik]

No orange juice for dinner?

[@groovyroses]

Gorgeous sunset and lovely first class royal. Question, does it take cars?

[@marilynturcotte5304]

For a Royal suite, it was very plain! A balcony without any chairs, and a buffet (pick and zap) style, definitely the newer ones are more welcoming. But I guess for the money, it's not that bad if you want to get there really early in the morning.

[@PowerhouseOriginal]

Let's get this man a tripod already
