  1. Good morning .John-san
    at last Hokkaido
    ( ^-^)ノ∠※。.:*:・'°☆
    Hokkaido is nice food paradise !
    Have a good day !
    and enjoy good breakfast!

  2. Morning John, I would love to put this boat ride in my future Aomori trip itenery, but 4hours seem too long, is there other type of boat ride?

  3. i used to love taking the ferry in northern europe. cheap too, and many have a bar. ^_^ Did yours have a bar? =D

  4. I wonder why they would schedule a boat so early if it wasn't economically practical since there's such few passengers. I know they will still run a scheduled ride but over time they should have a good expectation of the number of passengers unless this is also a car ferry. Never mind, it is a car ferry and it makes more sense now.

  5. Great as usual John.  Please elaborate on the shinkansen and tunnel I don't think many of us know much about it.  Thanks

  6. Hey John. Nice Video. Enjoying watching your travels. Say, you mentioned at 5:58 about the trucks taking the ferry because it is cheaper than the tunnel. Actually, however, the tunnel is only for trains, so the ferry is their only option to get to and from Hokkaido.

  7. The boat's name はやぶさ(hayabusa) is a type of bird, it translates to "Falco" in English

  8. What a great video. Not only is that a glorious sunrise, but I love getting a glimpse inside of the Ferry boat! So you showed us 2nd and 3rd class passenger accommodations… what is 1st class like?

  9. This channel is the only highlight of my writing assignment at home day

  10. when i first rode a Japanese ferry i was surprised with the restroom. It's a squat type. lol
    oh well… hajimete desu yo ne.

  11. I never knew you had this channel!! I'm so happy I found it.
    I love your videos. thank you for sharing tour travels with us

  12. So this is more your personal vlogs channel whereas OIJ is your professional journalism/presentations material? u're the Only youtuber i follow anymore John, youtube has become a cesspool of garbage content.

  13. With all the other ferry videos I've seen I feel more comfortable watching you do it….man at the urinal…gotta go….about that sunrise…..it is the land of the rising sun John….lol
