I can't hype this video (only allowed 3/week) so can you all please do it? We need to support creators!
Not the biggest room, but at least the food looked good.
A lot of us started humming the Sunflower song as soon as we read the name. At least the song was only twice, not constantly. I will admit the sunset over Beppu is one of the more pleasurable scenes. As soon as you said 'Drink first,' I knew the restaurant was busy; that's the only thing that comes between you and food! The kiddie plate for the desserts was a cute touch. Yes, the ship does show its age, particularly in the colour scheme and the compactness of some rooms. But at least the old gal is still sea-worthy.
I think the Sunflower ferries are the nicest ones in Japan, just my opinion, I enjoy watching every video you post Solo! I catch myself singing the Sunflower song to my granddaughter, since she is my beautiful sunflower. Thank you for sharing your beautiful country with us.
Okay…timestamp for the Sunflower song at… (waits…then notices someone beat me to it) Never mind then!
Still think the creators of that song play Plants vs. Zombies.
EDIT: Actually, I wonder now…do any players of Pokémon GO use the in game camera app to take pictures of their Sunflora while on board?
amazing trip delicious food
Dear friend, indulge in every moment—you’ve truly earned it! Embrace life with open arms. I aspire to follow in your footsteps and roam the world as you do. Until that day comes, I’ll be cheering you on from afar as you savor every adventure. Sending you all my love—stay safe!
I could hear the Sunflower theme song when you were standing there looking at the boat and I was all the way in the United States! Love your videos! Love it when you can show us (like you did this time) everything inside on the buffet – that’s interesting to see. Appreciate your explanation of the things you choose! Enjoy!!
SUNFLOWER SONG !!!!!!!!!!!!! How long have we waited to hear it !!!!!
Sunflower…sunflower!😊 Good evening, Mr.Solo. Greetings from São Paulo Brasil ❤
at least you got your own room i don't like sharing with other people lol
The food really does look great and it is something you seem to see less and less of as the ferries go to vending machines for food. Make sure you take advantage of that luxury. Thank you Solo-san!
Sunflower!! sunflower! Sunflower!
Find myself singing along with the Sunflower song. Love your videos!
I put on 5 pounds every time I watch one of your buffet cruises. My broccoli always has a friend. 😁😁🥦🥦
A bit odd to give ‘night ware’.
I look forward to these videos, thanks for making them.
❤❤❤
Sun Flower 🌼 song in my head 😂 all day now
Wonderful video Solo Travel!! I love your ferries no matter how many trips you take on them. The evening scene you showed of Beppu City from the ferry was so beautiful! You have so many beautiful places in Japan, I hope to visit one day and take a ferry ride.🙂 I liked your small cabin despite no bathroom and hard mattress. I am also becoming a fan of the Sunflower theme song. Thank you for taking us along on your trip. Always look forward to your downloads.
I so want a Sunflower ring tone…….
I always like to think STJ never gets his key until he waves. But then I remember how many years ago that video was
👋✌️🍻
I hope they play that Sunflower song over and over again….SAID NO ONE EVER!!!!
The love boat
Singing in my head…have snacks and settling in to watch the fun!
I live in Calgary, Canada. A few months ago I went for a swim at the community centre. A very elderly Japanese woman walked into the women’s change room in front of me. She was carrying a small sports bag. It had Sunflower written on it along with the Sunflower logo! It was amazing. We are so far away from Japan. No one else would have known the sports bag was from Sunflower Ferries. I had the Sunflower song stuck in my head for the remainder of the day. ❤❤
The Sunflower theme song has been embedded in my brain since your first video aboard the fleet.
Cozy is how I feel about the trip! Beautiful park to start with and the food was delicious looking. The cabin had most of the essentials for an inside cabin. But I love the Sunflower song and I have been singing it quite a number of times as it's sunflower season here and all the farms are having sunflower festivals! ❤
Ha! I love that you played the song 🌻🌻🌻 awesome video STJ 👍🏻🙌🏻👏🏻😉
My American friends don’t understand why when they pick me up in their car to go somewhere, on entrance I loudly sing”Ikou 🎶!” Haha! ❤.
