The Cheapest Way to Travel to Japan from Korea! ๐ฏ๐ต Busan to Tsushima Ferry Trip
#japan #tsushima #cycling
Hello everyone! We were feeling a trip to Japan, and found the cheapest way to do so by taking the ferry from Busan, Korea to Hitakatsu on Tsushima Island, Japan. We had quite low expectations to be honest, as whenever we searched online we only found information about the game Ghosts of Tsushima and we had a hard time finding anything we were particularly interested in. However, we were absolutely blown away by just how beautiful it is, the great variety of restaurants around, and also how we didnโt feel like we were missing out by not going to a place like Osaka or Tokyo. Trekking and biking around the island is also amazing, and by the end of the trip we were left wanting more. Enjoy!

I had no idea that there was a Japanese island this close to Busan. What a great way to experience Japanese food and culture! ๐ I putting this on my growing list of places to visit when I come to Korea. Thank you for sharing it with us. ๐
Take care and have a wonderful week! ๐ฐ๐ท๐๐จ๐ฆ
Love the ๐คฏ emoji translation ๐
I was so confused when Yujin would eat something by her expression on her face I thought she hated the food like the pudding it look like it tasted really bad.
What a lovely trip!!! The island looks to be an tranquil, unassuming gem, perfect to randomly 'get lost on purpose' and appreciate quiet beauty and enjoy just being there. Perfect! Thanks a mill for sharing…as always โค๐

Very nice content. Finding hidden gems etc. Awesome
Thanks! It's always nice to follow your peaceful trip , i really enjoy the slow tourism and i didn't know this island … to do list ๐
I had no idea you could just ferry to part of Japan from Busan. That Road of Maple Trees was so magical!
Very nice video.
Thanks again for a great adventure. You really add a lot of history and information about the places you visit. I love all the small details. I am in California and watch your videos every Sunday morning while I am having coffee. Be safe and enjoy ! See you next week.
my burkit list ๋๋ง๋ by ferry from busan…
The biggest takeaway from this video: Japan's convenience store pudding is out-of-this world by the wife's reaction ๐
Really feeling the nerdy video game references, the hidden (less well known) scenic trips, and keeping everything in the perspective of the common folk on a budget. It's almost like you're my twin brother (from a Canadian mother) lol
Incredible shots biking through the forest. Also a great point putting emphasis on the journey as opposed to the destination.
Toyoko Inn looks great! Laughed at your request for sponsorship. Seems like a chill spot to wander.
What a gorgeous vid. Thanks for sharing your experience!
This is absolutely amazing, I can take the ferry from South Korea to Japan, another adventure to add to my list๐ Hitakatsu , Tsushima is absolutely beautiful and so serene ๐ As always your narration and brief history of each town you visit is truly top notch! Thank you for sharing another amazing video. Sending love to you and your beautiful wife from NYC ๐ฝ๐บ๐ธ to beautiful South Korea ๐ฐ๐ท๐
Nice, come back soon!
amazing place! couldnt believe how cheap it was to get there, glad you got on your bikes again! Those forests you rode through looked like something out of a dream. Beautiful!
I remembered going to Tsushima for a visa run in 2018 because it was way cheaper than going to Osaka by plane, I stayed 2 hours at the port to comeback to Busan immediatly. If i go back there one day, i'll make sure to visit more than the port building ahah
Love your videos! Always so informative…..I am interested in traveling here but never found much information (at least in English) before your video. Thanks to your efforts!! Much appreciation!
Such a beautiful, peaceful place! The way you two share it with us all makes us feel like we are right there with you! Thank you for another lovely adventure!๐ทโ๏ธ
