Unlock Japan by Overnight Ferry: $87 Hokkaido to Hachinohe

I'm taking Silver Ferry from Hokkaido to Hachinohe this time. If you take overnight ferry, you can travel as you sleep.

I had a minor heart attack when I saw the price lol...

[@drakelangham4412]

Solo, I just want to say that even if this is all very ordinary for you, I really appreciate these videos. Overnight / long distance ferries are just not a mode of transportation in this part of the world. Every one of your trips is absolutely fascinating. And it's always fun to guess when you'll get your next curry hit! 😅

STJ-San: “I’ll just eat 2.” Viewers: I don’t think so. 😄

[@JaeEleutheria]

At this point, it was inevitable.

[@yvan2563]

Maybe he meant "I'll only eat two.... of each kind."

[@captainjaneway999]

Ja, wer kennt das nicht?! Ich esse auch immer nur zwei 😂

[@AndreiTupolev]

There's nothing nicer than waking up early on an overnight ferry as you approach somewhere new and going out on deck and watching the sunrise. Who needs vast cruise ships?

[@lynnferry291]

Even if you ordered the large portion, I don't think the rice topped with starchy sauce cost you US $87!

[@Iluthra]

That is awfully high!

[@susandolan9543]

@lynnferry291...the $87.00 was for the boat ticket & room.

[@ericlloyd4329]

It is so rare for Mr. Solo Travel to make an error like this. But I am happy to havre him return to my “algorithm”.

[@Iluthra]

@@ericlloyd4329 LOL I know prices have gone up all over but yes, it did seem a bit too high. I enjoy watching the videos too.

[@sakurapablo671]

I think made an error on the food. It was supposed to be like 8.70 for the food. But the 87 dollars, I totally understand to get for the boat travel and room. But it might be an error he accidentally did on just the food that he ate.

87$ us for the trip but Gomoku costing the same is probably where they make their money. 🙃 Menu said 1000 yin so that's roughly 6.22 for those who were wondering.

However, he got a large which was a ¥110 up charge it seems, bringing it close to $7 in all.

8:20 Was legit not prepared for the wave of disappointment that greeted me when you opened that box.....

[@thany3]

I hate it when they give guests paper cups. They're awful to drink from, and they are wasteful, as they are not recyclable as paper. The towel padding in the box suggests that they used to provide earthenware cups or glasses at some point.

[@marilynturcotte5304]

Two only? Yeah, right!! At least you didn't finish off the box. It's a nice ferry, but arriving at Zero ugly hours is not great.

For the price, it looked reasonably comfortable. Thanks for taking us along

[@RT-qd8yl]

A new STJ video is a perfect way to spend my evening 😊 After seeing all these videos I decided I definitely want to stay on an overnight ferry when I visit Japan! That's an experience I just can't pass up. Also those lamps on either side of the TV in your room were so cool!

[@sailcat662]

Hello! I'm so happy to see your content on my stream again. The algorithm is such pain... Love you work!

[@lilacscentedfushias1852]

12:25 you said “I’ll just eat 2” my mind laughed and thought nah, you have at least half 😁 you didn’t let me down 😂 I like that it’s a variety pack, nice as a souvenir/gift. In case anyone didn’t know, if you work in Japan & have a holiday/vacation it’s customary to buy some small souvenirs for workmates 😁 lots of places have small snack souvenirs like that shop had & in this biscuit and chocolate pack 😁 I watch a lot of Japanese based channels. Anyone who doesn’t live in the UK, sometimes if we go somewhere, say to Spain you might pick up a bag of Spanish sweets for workmates it Turkish delight in turkey

[@FoxyfloofJumps]

This is a very affordable deal, and the combination of a boat ride AND room with shower/bath is a killer. I hope to travel Japan someday, and South Korea too. And overnight ferries sound like such a cost-effective way to see as much as possible within a reasonable span of time.

[@munirahbakar4123]

Just wanted to offer some info. There's a ferry that goes between Busan (South Korea) to Fukuoka (Japan). The ride is about 3 hours 40 minutes.

[@donreynolds1229]

STJ, this video tour was a great one. I do want to tell you that I miss your distinctive chirping noise at the beginning of the video - hope it returns.

[@littlemiss_76]

Thanks for taking us. I'm surprised that if the ship arrives in the wee hours of the morning you have to disembark, could wait until 8 at least.

[@munirahbakar4123]

They need to clean & re-set the ferry for the next batch of passengers which will be boarding at 7.15am.

When you opened the fridge I remembered this from last week, one of the children in my family (we all share child care) opened our fridge and with a big dramatic sign said “cold air, condiments, jam & milk” 😂 Half hour later the supermarket delivery came 😂 A couple of years ago there was only 2 apples or something left, none of his favourite avocado or berries, he said to his mum “are we poor?” They’d been doing a topic at school about helping poor people, their school even give out food parcels & sometimes rewards are sometimes like pizza and drinks for the family with a dessert.

[@Ms.HarmonyJ]

My dear friend, I really enjoy it when you go on these amazing trips. Japan is definitely a place I want to visit someday. I send you lots of love and hope you stay safe. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy yourself, and do it for me too! 🤘

[@AmbientWalking]

Thank you so very much for this! Never stop traveling!

[@fionaspencer9559]

I have stayed in a business hotel in Shinjuku, and that 1st Class Cabin is twice the size of my room! You know what I really loved about this video is that my phone was vibrating differently during each different mode of transportation. 😊 I am headed to Japan this fall. I may have to make a pointless trip just for the experience.

[@user-qg2md9fl3h]

Thank you for your amazing videos. I will never get to travel in Japan, but thanks to you I can have a small taste of it. I love your videos and find them so fun and relaxing I watch your channel to help me destress after a long day. Thank you for sharing your adventures and helping me find a little bit of peace in my crazy life. Safe Journeys.

[@katiepeterson2306]

Only 2 😂. Your entire fanbase giggled at that.

[@rezaalan3991]

Great trip. If the ship depart later, maybe you arrived at civilized time. The room is huge, but since the trip duration below 12 hours, it isn't enough to enjoyed the room.

[@DinnerForkTongue]

Nice ferry, but the route is so quick that I'd probably go to sleep immediately and only wake up to shower and disembark. Getting barely 3 hours of sleep is not an ordeal my body can take anymore.

[@noctumdraco]

Hokkaido is definitely on my list of places to visit when I do eventually go to Japan. Can't wait to try all the good food there.

How full are most ferries? 10%? 50%? 90% We don't see people on them very often, which I know is because you try to avoid showing other people, but it would be interesting to know how full they really are usually.
