I wanted to eat fresh fish, so I took the Shin Nihonkai Ferry from Kyoto to Hokkaido.
It takes 21 hours. I chose the cheapest room “Tourist A”
If you fly from Osaka to Hokkaido, you can get there in two hours, but if you take a ferry, it takes more than 21 hours. What is the significance of doing that?

Hello all travel addicts! I’m Hiro, wearing a sweater with lots of lint balls I’m so hungry now I want to eat something fresh fish First, I’m going to Kyoto from Osaka by bus Bus leaves from the OCAT bus terminal right next to JR Namba Station

The bus terminal is on the second floor of the building, but before that I’m going to Daiso for get some snacks! The snacks sold on the ferry are little pricey, so I always buy them before boarding the ferry Oh! This is just what I need right now, isn’t it? I’ll take it

Bus tickets to the ferry terminal must be booked online in advance. Our bus to Maizuru, Kyoto departs at 20:30 p.m. The bus does not go directly to the ferry terminal, but stops at several stations in Maizuru City Scheduled to arrive at the ferry terminal at 22:50 About 10 people got on board

Bus is spacious with 3 rows of seats Each seat has a USB port Reading light And this bus has a bathroom That’s a relief The bus will soon take the highway to Maizuru City, Kyoto. Good-bye, Osaka. 2 hours and 20 minutes to the ferry terminal There’s a little snow on the road

It rarely snows in Osaka, but it does here in Kyoto! This is the ferry “Akashia” that I am boarding today It is very large at 224.8 meters in length! I have the QR code printed out so I can go straight to the waiting room on the second floor.

There were already about 20 people in the waiting room. Show the QR code and head on board Oh, I’m getting excited… I’m heading to the cheapest room I’ve booked It’s a very long hallway! Here it is 10 beds in one room The bed at the far end is my secret base Thick mattress

Electrical outlet hanger With the curtains closed, it looks like this The beds are bunk beds, with upper and lower entrances on opposite sides We, the common people, have to put down our own sheets This is the work I hate the most Perfect bed making, just like at the Ritz-Carlton

Now let’s explore the ferry! Passengers can use floors 4 through 6 There is a shining staircase in the center Nice view from the 6th floor Kiosk where you can buy original goods and souvenirs You can buy snacks, alcohol and soft drinks. 24-hour vending machines You can buy cigarettes if you need them

If your shoulders are stiff, you can come to this room Toilet with electric bidet If you have stinky underwear, just come here You can get boiled water for cup noodles here Locker Unfortunately, the wind was too strong to go out on the deck This room is a grade higher than mine

Let’s go out on the deck at the rear of the ferry Before I knew it, the ferry had departed Sailing on time Good-bye Kyoto, until we meet again Here is the venue for tonight’s solo party Cheers to the ferry trip Sour cream and onion flavor is the best

After all, this is the most enjoyable time of the ferry trip for me! I wish this time could last forever Of all nuts, cashews are my favorite This is a great combination! He is savoring this happy time now Solo party is over Everyone is asleep and it is quiet on board

I want to wake up tomorrow with the sun shining through this window Wow, what a wonderful morning glow! I was right to book a bed at this place There is only one bed with this window in the room, so everyone should keep this in mind when making reservations

You can choose your own bed position when booking online This is where I had my solo party last night Ahhhh very pleasant morning. It’s very cold, though. It’s so windy I feel like I’m going to be blown away. Look at that! Collaboration of rusty iron and sunrise are beautiful

I came to the very front of the ferry Unfortunately, the wind is too strong and the protective shutters remain down Captain “Due to strong winds, doors are closed.” It is what it is Now I will take a morning bath with a magnificent view!

I felt so good I was soaking in the tub for 30 minutes I wonder if this boy is cleaning this big ship all by himself without a break It’s noon, so I’ll have lunch. Passengers order using a tablet I ordered the Pork bowl with miso soup pickles and miso soup

Dining with a view of the ocean To be honest, I didn’t expect much from the food on the ferry, but this is crazy good! As you can see, the engines cause the ferry to constantly vibrate finely And it’s swaying slowly from side to side This is not an exaggeration…

Bags for vomit are provided Diet starts tomorrow Why is after-dinner ice cream so delicious? Oops! It’s time to go see that thing! Minions! There was already one Minions fan Game arcade I need a buddy to travel with Why are the arms of the CLAW MACHINE so unmuscled?

Work your biceps more at the gym! The ferry I’ve been on so far arrives at its destination in the morning But this time, it’s a 21-hour ride I’ve never been on a ferry for so long I’m getting bored with nothing to do…

The internet is not connected at all as we are quite far from the land! But I have made great discoveries because of it This dinosaur moves! It’s the biggest find of the century I forgot I have a big job to do First man in the world to remove lint balls on a ferry

It’s a great way to kill time it looks brand new! It’s nice to have a window in my bed Just seeing the ship in the distance makes me happy Of course, if you stay in a suite or deluxe room, you will have a terrace as well as a window!

There is an elevator in the ferry Collecting stamps is my hobby An island came into view in the distance. Is that the main island of Hokkaido? Cell phone signal is now available I see, that is Okushiri Island. It’s an island famous for its rich nature I promise I’ll go there someday

Now that the internet is connected, I’ll check out the YouTube comments Oh! I got one comment! I’m so Happy! I replied very very politely When I get comments on my videos, dopamine erupts from my brain So I’m waiting for your comments. I’m happy to just “Hello” in your language

Also, this “Cheese Arare” snack from Kirara company is super super tasty! What the hell is this? Can’t stop eating Why do sunsets attract people? Soon we will arrive at the port of Otaru, Hokkaido

They say that if you need a bus to the station, you have to tell the ferry staff at the reception desk, otherwise the bus won’t come. The town of Otaru comes into clear view As expected of Hokkaido, the amount of snow is different We arrived at Otaru Port on time

Thank you, Ferry Akashia You made my day! Boarding bridge too long to see the end point… Many people were waiting for the bus or taxi The bus was to come in 45 minutes, so I decided to walk 20 minutes to the nearest station That my decision was wrong…

The road was icy and dangerous, and above all, no one was walking on it on this cold night I’m getting kind of scared… eeeeeeeeeek! eeeeek! Collecting IC cards is also my hobby It’s so cute! Take this train to Otaru Station, two stops away

I may appear calm, but I am actually very excited about my first time in Hokkaido! And taking a local train is a lot of fun Above all, I am overwhelmed by the amount of snow! The capsule hotel where I will stay tonight is Dormy Inn, located in front of Otaru Station

This hotel has a very nice spa. I took two baths, night and morning A very simple type of capsule This Hotel offers free ramen Free Coffee Free ice pop And Free Yakult in the morning This is the first time I’ve experienced this amount of snow in the city! I’m pretty excited.

Waterproof and oilproof gloves I brought because I wanted to touch the snow It’s ice… I use these gloves when I ride my motorcycle in winter because they keep the wind out! THE MAX There are at least three people in the world who have problems with cold hand

Finally, I came to the place where I would eat the freshest fish, the goal of my trip! What should I eat… Too many options to choose from… Tuna, salmon, sweet shrimp, scallops, flying fish roe, and something… I cannot eat this in a very elegant way Shove it into your mouth with gusto

That is the way to eat Seafood Bowl Ahhhh, Super delicious!! It was a good decision to come all the way to Hokkaido He raises his pinky finger and drinks tea Then he rinses his mouth with tea I got a lollipop The trip to Otaru by ferry was great!

Well, I am heading to Sapporo next Thanks for watching for so long
