I’m taking the Shin Nihonkai Ferry from Maizuru (Kyoto) to Otaru (Hokkaido). The navigation speed of this ferry is 30.5 knots.

Hey there, my wonderful friend! Stay safe and have a fantastic time—you truly deserve it. I hope that one day I can explore the world like you do. Sending you lots of love!
Oh great, a video before bedtime ❤❤❤
Ghost ferry ⛴️…lovely though
"Babe, wake up! Solo Travel Japan just posted!!"
While we just had the Sunflower Ferry, when we see a ferry we all Sing the SUNFLOWER song….. SUNFLOWER… SUNFLOWER….
Solo-sensei, thank you for the ferry ride. You are spoiling us. 😊
Happy to watch a new video just when I wake up in the morning 😂
The beef salad looks delicious
A couple of 80s Shin Nikon Kai ferries, entered Greek / Italian service after Japanese retirement, under ANEK lines and renamed Kriti I and Kriti II. Incredibly one is still in service. I actually travelled on Kriti I on Venice to Patras route more than 10 years ago and have fond memories. Maybe the ferry in this video may follow in the coming years.
(Adding: when in SNK service these ferries were named New Suzuran and New Yukari respectively. I just checked Greek news and realised that the last surviving one had also been scrapped in May 25. RIP 🙏🛳️)
Why Hello there Mr.Solo Travel. I just watched your other video, the 11 day Luxury Cruise that was amazing. Now we are going on another Boat Adventure. Love it. I really enjoy all your videos they are exciting to say the least. So Thank You for taking me along. But can I make an request how about a luxury Train adventure. How Awesome would that be? God Bless always.🙏🙏🌹🌹
Thank you for saying. I was thinking it looked like a hospital room but didn't want to be rude.
Do any of the ferries you travel on have elevators for handicapped folks?
beautiful ship but i don't like that cabin, i need my own cabin with bathroom and locking door thank you.
Very enjoyable video. I love the energy form being on the water, I like to end my evening with a lime or lemon sparkling water especially when I travel. It's nice to have by your bed side chilled. The food looked pretty good especially the beef salad. Thank you for bringing us along
Enjoyed this! But I’d like to see your feet, sporting your sushi socks, relaxing in a suite instead!
I hope you missed the Kamchatka earthquake and Tsunami evacuations during your travels.
Back-Rooms vibes are intensifying in this one (except for the sunset part)
Always a pleasure to travel with you, thanks
私もお寿司靴下があります！！
I'm going to be in Otaru in September 2026. On an entirely different ship, hehe.
Well, the "hospital room" was typical, HOT AND STUFFY!! LOL I guessed right when you showed that Highball, Crowds in the restaurant. It will be interesting to see what the new ferry offers, not usless it's like the Azalea ferry. I was wondering if you would be able to go outside at any time during the voyage, glad you good to see the sunset. It was stunning! So of to the next place!
It looks so beautiful how does sun trying to come through the cloud the ship is moving too fast?
9:14: Wait, what? You had dinner in Osaka and didn't show us?
Ok, thanks for the video, STJ-san. Your ferry videos are my favorites!
I'm too old for an overnight trip without a private bathroom but it's good you show all classes.
I might have been inclined to snooze in that forward lounge instead of the too-hot little room.
I was surprised by the speed of that ferry. It's not very fuel efficient, presumably why it's being retired. Please DO ride the sister ship!
6:19 ish, my cat thought my phone was hissing at it. He hissed back😂 but he didn't mean it
The room looks so small but it's clean they still keep the ship really good before retiring in 6 months
Hurrah, a ferry trip! These are my favorite videos. Thanks for bringing us along, Solo-san. 🙂
This looks like fun. Well, when I was younger it'd have been fun. Less so as I've gotten older and appreciate having an en suite bathroom.
🤗🙏DOMO SOLO 🧐💚💚💚
The roast beef salad and onion sauce is something I haven't seen before. Looks amazing.
I love to save these for suppertime. Not a fan of the cabin but the au gratin looked awesome! And yeah, if you're scooting along at over 30 knots it's gonna get a little jiggly.
30 minutes well spent!
The lonely yet utilitarian hook.
I am in awe of your pro-level "air" hockey skills.
