I'm taking brand new Sunflower Ferry from Beppu to Osaka. The name of the ship is Murasaki. She is the sister ship of Kurenai, which I sailed on her maiden voyage.

SuuuunfloOOooowaaaahh SunnnFLoOOOwaaaaaaah. I heard all the new ferries have massive speaker systems installed - like nightclub strong. There's rumors you can hear it, over the waters, late at night, like the sirens calling out to Odysseus, bringing madness, then death.

Not many people here in Japan get to step onboard a Sunflower ferry - especially the one from Oarai to Hokkaido. It is almost always fully booked and expensive. I've been here 32 years and am yet to successfully book a Sunflower ferry. Having heard that bloody song and seeing the fact that we are 'boading' instead of 'boarding', I feel somewhat relieved that the Gods have come to my rescue each and every time and made sure that booking the ferry is impossible.

Yay! Nothing like hearing that song again to brighten up my day! My daughter was in Japan earlier in the year for school and during her last week took the Sunflower ferry the other direction: Osaka to Beppu. She also mentioned how the buffet was heavy on the fish but not much in the way of other meats. At my request, she even bought me one of those blue/gold-braided "Sunflower Heartfelt Hospitality" hats from the gift shop I had noticed in other KZfaq videos. "Sunflower! Sunflower!"

I continue to be completely surprised at how reasonably priced such voyages in Japan are, making them accessible to everyone. I live in British Columbia, Canada and am a frequent traveler on BC Ferries where you would be lucky to find coffee and a donut for $5.70, let a lone an all-you-can-eat buffet with such variety.

Not being able to turn "Sunflower" off is a distinct disadvantage to the semi-private pods. I'd be wearing earplugs or staying outside as long as possible to avoid descending into complete madness before departure. I loved the smiley-faced potato cakes - we have those here in America, too, and like dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, they're considered a food for children. Still tasty, though 😁. The sashimi looked wonderful, as did the desserts. Thanks for sharing the trip with us!
