I traveled from Tomakomai, Hokkaido to Niigata by Shin Nihonkai Ferry. It was another relaxing ferry ride in Japan.

Shin Nihonkai Ferry operates four different routes
1. Maizuru – Otaru route
2. Tsuruga – Tomakomai route
My experience

3. Otaru – Niigata route
My experience

4. Tomakomai – Akita – Niigata – (Tsuruga) route

  1. I think you touched a warm spot in all of us with your great travel videos. Although we all have traveled alone at times in our lives, we do try to make our trips as pleasant and interesting as possible. You have mastered story telling through the lens of your camera and your writings. We become glued to our screens, wondering where will you will go next. As we virtually come along for the ride. No matter where we are in the world. Thanks for sharing.

  2. It has been since 1986 since I was in Japan. Yet your videos bring me back to being that gaijin standing at Shinjuku station smiling in joy at the adventure ahead.

    Thank you,

  3. I'm wondering about the music playing in the cafes. Its very relaxing. Is there any way someone can find it, like if there is a soundtrack? I would love to hear it at work.

  4. shin ferries are fantastic ships , spotless , clean, good food, great cabins, the crew runs like a clock, you will never find a service like shin ferries any were else in the world. they are at the top and they set the bar for all the rest. you know the saying on the pizza boxes , you tried the rest now try the best , try a shin ferry and in joy the best.

  5. shin ferries are better then a cruise ship ( barge ) with thousands of people packed in every were you turn. and you pay thousands of dollars for them . i have been on them and i say never again. even the food is no better on a cruise ship (BARGE ). being packed in to a cruise ship (BARGE ) with thousands of people is not a vacation , its a pain in the ass, dirty, noisy , mess. you can't even enjoy a quiet dinner with out a loud moth yelling at the table next to you. if you want a great vacation in a beautiful country go to japan and go to all the islands on the shin ferry lines and relax in a clean beautiful ship with beautiful clean cabins and nice quite people on an un crowded ship with great food and things to do .
