I’m taking Shin Nihonkai Ferry from Kyoto to Hokkaido Japan. I’m staying in a capsule cabin this time. It takes 21 hours.

  1. A weirdly good arcade room for such an otherwise poor ferry, weird rusty things, strange food, murky pillows, but I spy air hockey, two possibly NeoGeo cabinets, a racing seat machine, and I think two cabinets the other side too.

  2. I will tell you straight no history in that pillow just plain filth. Dirtiest place I have ever seen and I lived in India for 5 years.

  3. I don't know how to say it, but aging ship with plenty of rust, historical pillow, not as usual lunch quality. There's something happens in this company, but overall you depart and arrive safely.

  4. Wonderful sunset, but I feel like they have taken the best thing away which was the curry beef as normally that amount of rice isn't enough, thank you for sharing your journey

  5. A nice quiet ferry trip. BYO pillow and blanket. Oh, and something to do. Just like I like it! ❤

  6. The quality of some of the food looked a bit suspect. Especially the meat looked pretty bad. Maybe they are trying to up their margins by using low cost ingredients?

  7. I wonder how a breakfast curry would taste? With plenty of scrambled eggs, sausage, and vegetables. Shame the food on the trip was sub-par!

  8. We could all learn a lesson in diplomacy from you, STJ-san. I’ve never seen so much disappointment expressed in such a pleasant way.

    Maybe they were trying to encourage you to book a more expensive room. Saving the good food and clean pillows for the high paying customers.

  9. "let me put it this way" is the nicest way of saying you don't like something. I do admire your graciousness in conveying your thoughts in a positive light. Thanks for the very interesting video! ^_^

  10. I could see the operator needing to cut costs somewhere to maintain margins. The fuel costs to push large commercial vessels at 30+ knots are astronomical.

  11. This ferry was a most dishonourable taishi for Japan.

    It was so dishonourable that instead of staff waving to everyone when it goes out to sea, the staff all run out onto the port and begin throwing everything they can at it when it comes back.

  12. STJ-san, I just want to take a moment to thank you for being an inspiration for me. I just completed a 10-day trip across Japan using multiple modes of transportations. I rode ferry, trains, and even tried out Japan domestic flights! I had a great time traveling in Japan, and I hope to get a chance to do another trip. I hope STJ-san would continue to provide us with inspiring Japan travel videos for years to come.

  13. Can you make multilingual subtitles? I like your video, but it's hard to read English subtitles. Thank you.

  14. This is the worst food quality I have ever seen amongst all of the other ferry journey you have taken so far….this is not Japanese quality that I have known …I just hope they will improve it in the future.

  15. Hi solo…I have a question …is the beef curry real spicy…oh yeah by the way u have a very nice butt in ur jeans…😊😊😊

  16. I enjoy your humor and positive attitude. Love an ocean voyage and beautiful sunset. Thank you!
