Staying 24 Hours On An Overnight Ferry in Japan



It’s time to travel to another city in Japan, from Hokkaido to Kyoto and this time I thought it would be fun to travel by sea onboard an overnight Japanese Ferry. I’ll be spending the night on the ferry catching the sights, exploring the amenities onboard, and of course, enjoying a meal or two!

A slightly different video from the other videos on the channel and hope you’ll find it enjoyable and informative.

    That looked like a fun and relaxing adventure! You're the only guy who can have a cup of instant noodles, and make it seem like a gourmet meal lol. Cheers Tim 🙂

    Fun! I am a big fan of Japanese travel videos, especially the ferries and trains. Shin Nikonhai is the ferry line, you showed the name of the ferry in the beginning. It looks like such a fun, relaxing way to travel. The room was very nice too. From what i have seen from being an armchair traveler, Wifi on Japanese ferries is almost non-existent.

    I discovered Japanese ferry's during the pandemic. An account called Solo Travel Japan has a channel that highlights his travels on the different ferries. I always enjoy your videos Tim and I'm glad you had a safe trip.

    FYI Tim –
    In Japan, most accomodations are charged by the person. You paid $240 as a single in a room with 2 beds. If you were sharing this room, the second person would also pay $240. That is, $480 for two people in this one room.
    Kinda sucks.

    It is interesting to see you on this ferry. You have a room with 2 beds. The bathtub comes with a hand held shower head is super cool. It is very seldom that you can find a hand held shower head in even the expensive upscale hotels or motels. The other thing is there don’t seem to be a lot of passengers in the cafeteria or other areas of the ferry. You seemed to have ate breakfast, lunch and dinner with no one around to have a conversation with. I guess that is fine since you were doing the YouTube video for us to watch 😃

    I watch Capsule Japan and several others similar. I have never seen anyone going around in their robe. You’re so precious. Love you kid.

    That looked like a fine way to travel. Much better choice than the train I think. Always nice to see menus with photos to choose from when you don't speak the language. Think the room with the balcony is the best because you can sit and enjoy the fresh salt air. Hello from beautiful Corvallis Oregon.

    Thank you for sharing this with us This would be a nice break to relax and decompress. I like that it didn't seem crowded at all.

    Hi Tim…My goodness that's a pretty fancy ferry….I took the ferry from Bellingham Washington to Sitka Alaska and back….not as fancy though….Take care God bless

    It's a wonderful experience to travel overnight on a ferry. There was a ferry with lots of vending machines but no restaurant. And the last one I rode had a buffet, not a lot of choices but the food are delicious. The trip I really enjoy was riding those trains going to remote or rural areas. Fun to meet people and beautiful scenes around Japan. 👍
    Now, some rural areas have Costco and fastfoods like here in the US and I had fun with their 7-11 or any convenient stores. 😁

    Tim: very good idea to take this ferry! Pricewise it's not a bad deal for a single room without balcony. The food prices & quality were decent. It seemed quite relaxing with plenty of space & few passengers! No rush, no fuss! I've taken several Japanese ferries and always had a pleasant experience! And they're all so, so clean!

Show how comfortable you are when one is hungry !!! Thanks for this Video !!

    You said instant noodles makes the world right? Instant noodles gives me diarrhea and makes my blood pressure go up.

    Tim, always enjoy your videos! But just want to mention that we should not be sticking our chopsticks in the rice.
