10-Hour Overnight Ferry Escape to a Tokyo Island for Supermarket Sushi

I’m traveling from Takeshiba to Hachijojima on the Tachibana Maru, operated by Tokai Kisen. I really wanted to try the local sushi on this remote Tokyo island.

  1. Iโ€™d like to watch your videos because I can hear your respect for these sites that you see. I enjoy them very much as for your hair loss comment is it not a sign of respect, thatโ€™s what I tell my husband.

  2. Thank you Solo-San, for another enlightened journey!! Konnichiwa!! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆโœŒ๏ธ

  3. That departure video was really beautiful! Hard to tell that was taken in your room ๐Ÿ˜Š! The food looked great! Nice video! Hyped ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Š

  4. So, baldness will come, if you are like me, you will be very happy, it is much easier to tend a bald head. I ride motorcycles, hair was always a mess, I can say I wished going bald happened much sooner. Kanpai!

  5. Funny, this is what fancy ferries used to look like before they turned into mini cruise ships. Now back to them because the price is again reasonable!

  6. Let me get that straight:
    – you take a 10 hours ferry journey over some rough looking sea
    – risk not being able to get off the ferry at your destination because of bad weather
    – eat ramen that looks quite horrific

    And that only to eat sashimi and sushi, and fly back to Tokyo just 2-3 hours after arriving on the island ? Wow, that sure is dedication !

    P.S. Does anybody know why the ship is sailing under the flag of Norway ?

  7. What a gorgeous night time view of Tokyo Tower!

    Oooooh, blue fin! Such a rare treat where I live. I've never seen mustard used before, but it sounds good, because it has a similar pleasing burn as wasabi.

    Hachijojima seems so peaceful and it's beautiful from the air!

  8. Your videos bring me much joy.
    Ten years ago, I began to plan my retirement and so wanted to travel to Japan. Even learned passable Japanese.
    Sadly, three years later, I was diagnosed with a rare and debilitating disease which closed my circle of travel to where I can walk.
    You show me what I missed.
    Thanks.

  9. Yesterday, I told myself 'It's been a while since STJ posted', so I checked and I was right. Thanks for posting a new video. I really like the quality of yrour videos, it gives me something to work towards.

  10. A somewhat unique experience but very enjoyable overnight trip. This journey is what makes travel fun. You don't have to go to the big city to enjoy a wonderful excursion. Thank you STJ. Looking forward to seeing your next video.

  11. I just cannot like sushi ๐Ÿ˜‚. I've tried it many times made different ways, it's just nope lol.

  12. I like the Higher dose red light hat therapy, very portable and easy, but you have to be patient It takes 4 weeks to stabilize your follicles and 16 weeks to see real results, worth it though.

  13. Has anyone traveled so far at such expense for supermarket sushi — WITH the distinct possibility that he may not be able to disembark once getting there? And the really strange thing is that all seems to have been worth it.๐Ÿ˜€

  14. Really excited for a new STJ video! That entire shot of your departure from Tokyo was really awesome, absolutely gorgeous filming and I'm happy you got to try the sushi. Really great video as always.

  16. The Tokyo Tower had so much charm when I went to see it. There are taller buildings but it remains iconic.

  17. Yay! I love seeing the !! when you are eating a meal. It makes me feel like the whole trip was worth it for you and I always perk up while watching. Great video as always!
