Japanese Ferry: WHY 12 HOURS? I Skipped the Bullet Train for a Solo Food Feast

I took the Hankyu Ferry from Kobe to Shinmoji (Fukuoka). While the ferry is slower than the bullet train, it’s a relaxing journey.

  1. I admit that because I like to urinate immediately before going to bed, I would probably avoid a trip to a proper toilet and urinate in the roomโ€™s sink, following that with running enough water to mostly flush the sink trap.

    Maybe thatโ€™s just a gaijin thing.

  2. A Sunflower sighting in a Funeco video is as good as a Funeco sighting in a Sunflower video.

  3. โค Thank you Solo Travel for the ferry ride. I liked the single room. You're right, it's a good deal and it looks comfortable. The sea seems a lot more calm compared some other ferry trips. Does it help that it's sailing along the Seto Inland Sea? Anyway, it looks like a wonderful trip and it's nice having a buffet on board. Japan is such a beautiful place and you have great ferries.

  5. I always look forward to your new ferry rides ๐Ÿ™‚ I get the impression that you travel light – is my assumption correct?

  6. For a budget cabin, that was excellent! TV, green tea, and a shoe horn๐Ÿ˜ฎ yes!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Great video. Thank you so much. It makes me happyโ˜บ๏ธโฃ๏ธ

  7. ๐Ÿฅฆ Bro ๐Ÿ˜‚

    A wonderful adventure as always, STJ. I'm glad you're getting your vegetable

  8. Just wondering – when that comment "just one dessert" came up, did anyone seriously NOT think "who does he think he's kidding"? – although I suppose, technically, there was just one dessert. I'm sorry the curry wasn't up to expectation, though.

  9. After watching you for so long, I started saying bro every time I see a broccoli ๐Ÿคฃ

  10. I love the tours of the ferry at night: there is nobody around, the ship seems totally empty and its quiet (also, no announcments) – its like its your private ferry ๐Ÿ™‚.

  11. Great trip. I think your room should be named Single rather than deluxe, but overall great ferry, great room, and great food.

    (Sorry…that's the vibe I get whenever I see the time thingy near the beginning of these videos.)
