Solo Travel Japan, despite their name, seems like just the sort of travel companion one would want. Low-maintenance, easy-going, knows all the best spots to eat, won't shame you if you order more rice and food, tells you what's cool to take home and what isn't, and will wake you up to see sunrises.

I love the “Hold on, I have to do something first.” and you proceed to mute the never ending announcements.. brilliant. 👍🏼

Gets best cabin on ship, instantly turns TV volume down, avoids the restaurant when crowded, yes I have found my introvert travel channel. Thank you for showing me it is possible :)

Finally lots of pillows!! I cry every time you show a bed with only one pillow…I sleep with three of them every night, lol.

After you turned down the never-ending announcements in the room, I realized one thing I like about your videos is that they are quiet, or just the natural sounds. An excellent, relaxing video. Thanks!

Wow, I think this is the first time I have actually seen more than 5 people on the same ferry with you LOL

From all of us who have silently joined you on your travels...thank you so much for being our amazing, silent "travel companion," sharing Japan with us.

You know it's going to be an experience when your door is different from everyone elses

One of the times he gets a really nice room, it’s only for a short trip… This one would’ve been nice for a 20+ trip.

The cookies with the ferry mascot on them is like one of the cutest thing ever.

Got my husband watching these and now we have officially added ferry ride to our bucket list!

I really liked the clothes they've provided. Imagine you're a somewhat rich business man who had to leave in a hurry and all you have is the uncomfortable suit on your body. So you can take a relaxing bath and put on that lounge wear for the while. Very thoughtful.

I like how he shakes his hand to indicate don’t take home

Solo Travel Japan is my top 3 KZfaq Channel to watch everytime I go home after work. Everything about your vlog is so neat, calming, yet so entertaining and refreshing. My favorite part is whenever Solo Travel Japan have a room tour and explore every spot of the ship; and I bet all of you agree with this: it's whenever he ate at the ship's restaurant. Also, the TMI in this vlog is what makes it so refreshing and entertaining. It's so low-key funny and informative at the same time. If you said "thank you for always watching", let me say this too: thank you for always be there traveling, be healthy always and be happy.

I must confess that Japan has never been particularly high on my list of places to see, but after watching your videos now I want to go and ride the ferries! You should be rewarded by Japan tourism!

My visits to Japan impressed me with the culture, courtesy, cleanliness and efficiency of the people. Your videos remind me of why I liked Japan and its people so much.

Next time take the comforter off the other bed and sleep on top of it to help add a softer layer to the hard mattress. 🙂 Looks like a fun trip! Thanks for sharing!

More people are traveling again! It makes the trip seem a little less lonely. Thanks for the video!

Royal Class is just wonderful - private bath/toilet, balcony, spacious room with all the amenities. The food always make us hungry. And it is nice to take a break from living in busy, crowded, metropolitan Tokyo. Thank you for taking us on with you on this new ferry, Settsu. We enjoyed your experience. Thumbs up, as always.

I love cats so I thought Funeko was adorable. I definitely would have brought that face towel home and checked the shops for other souvenirs with him/her on them.

9:17Has anyone watched the Studio Ghibli film “My Neighbor Totoro” and saw the Catbus? Well, let me introduce you to the *Catboat*

Solo: Maybe I ate too much? Greg: Waaaaa!!!!! No dessert??? **sad** Amazing trip - thank you Solo. Love catching all those little things like telephone booths, park benches, electronic advertising signs. Good to see you in a luxury suite as you deserve the best. Thank you for creating another great video, showing us the food in detail and giving us great English subtitles. You always make weekends better. Thank you my friend.

The way the room is stocked, it really seems like you only need to pack clothes for the next day since they provide everything else. That is lovely.

Finally a cabin in Japan with enough pillows, haha

So happy to see another adventure! Wonderful to watch on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon. Thank you for sharing!

I’ve only traveled by ferry once, in Greece, it wasn’t as luxurious as this one, quite simple to be honest but I just loved it. At first I was really scared, you see I have really bad anxiety and so as I was watching the ferry driving away from land I was in total panick, it was also 9pm so all I could see was darkness, couldn’t tell the sky from the sea, total panick. As I got to my cabin, simple cabin but cozy, I felt better, I sat on the floor and just appreciate the movement of the boat, swinging back and forth, I meditate to it, then I showered and it was one hell of a fun, the boat was swinging a lot so I couldn’t stop laughing at how hard it was to shower my thick long hair, also the curtains kept touching me and then swinging away then touching them swinging away, I see that that could be a bummer to some people but I saw joy with it, I then went to bed and slept like a baby, honestly I slept better than in these last 3 years, the swinging of the boat, the sound of the sea and the engine, best experience ever. When living with anxiety some simple things can be scary but there’s always simple things to light up the days, embrace what makes you happy and safe no matter how simple or stupid it might be to other people! Love you all ❤️

Anyone else watch these videos before bed? These are so relaxing!

As neat as the accommodations are on these ferries, my favorite part of these videos is the restaurants.

Thank you for taking us along with you on another ferry trip! I think in such a luxurious cabin you could go on an around the world cruise 😉 I really hope that we can visit each of our countries soon again.

Beautifully filmed. Every time when I watch your videos, it feels like I am being on that ferry myself, thank you

the '!!!' and how he just wave his hand to show tht it can't be brought back home is so cute please 😭🥺

You needed another day of travel to enjoy that cabin more, it just needed room service from the restaurant to make it perfect.

Always amazed at how clean and aesthetically pleasing everything is!! Also the way you capture everything and give us all details is wonderful!! Wish you would do a Q&A video/post someday and tell us more about how it feels traveling alone :)

Love watching! I grew up in Washington State and took the ferries there all the time. Now I live in another state and I miss riding. I can watch your travels to satisfy my longing!

That ferry is beautiful. It's like a cruise ship.

More like a luxury cruise ship than a run of the mill ferry😊

Absolutely gorgeous sunrise from the balcony and a luxury room! Great video to start my week thank you

Thank you for sharing more of your travels! I love to see the delicious ferry food! If the mattress is too hard, sleep on top of the quilt (comforter) and use the other from the second bed.

Hello from Afghanistan 🇦🇫 , I love all your video's and mostly the channel's who creates video's about Japan we Afghan people love Japanese more than any other country because they are good in manners which that includes in everything like the way of talking the way of respecting eachother and the clean environment, which this is the most important thing in our country too and i would love to visit Japan one day Inshallah. If it was in my hands i would sent most of our students for higher studies to Japan which could learn alot of thing's both in Education and extra from Japanese people, Thank you for being a good friend in every situation with Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Aw those cookies are the cutest!Thankyou for sharing another nice journey with us all 🤗

I was surprised you didn’t get more food for dinner and no dessert!! 😂 I absolutely love your videos.

The most stunning thing is the arrival terminal in traditional style. WOnderful! (Not to mention the rainbow :) )

Thank you always for showing the sunrise, the rainbow is a bonus. I think this is the best room you ever had except for the hard mattress. Looking forward for your next video soon.😊

I love seeing the world through your eyes. I can feel that you really love your everyday journeys. Thanks for sharing your life with everyone! : )

I don't know why, but the way you waved your hand in front of the camera for all the stuff you couldn't take home made me laugh - another great travel!

It's nice they had a volume control for the announcements! That is a very nice room and the ship seemed a lot quieter and had less vibration then others you have taken. I hope it was a relaxing a journey as it looked. 😊

I like the way all the ships have names and that the names are used! Makes it all seem more friendly somehow 😊

A room so luxurious that the fridge has it's own bedroom. That's pretty swell.

WOW, what a great cabin! A short trip, but so worth the expense! 💕👍 Another great adventure, STJ! Thanks! 👍

The little remark before boarding about the never ending announcements, and then turning down the volume of them in the room, that really made me laugh out loud 🤣 Then I completely lost it a few more times when hearing more announcements later in the video 😂 I just might be overtired, it’s about 5:20am here in Sweden as I’m watching this and I haven’t slept yet

Fond memories of Kobe, the park next to the Shin Kobe tower was awesome with its white dragon waterfall.

Japan has so many ferries because of all those islands. So this looks like it will be a fun and relaxing channel.

It always brightens up my day when I see there´s a new video from Solo travel Japan 😀 !!

Wow what a cabin! 😍 you should get one for a longer trip sometime.

The fridge behind a glass door to dampen sounds just really shows how well designed the cabin is.

Love the laid-back vibe to your videos!

So beautiful! Thank you for another fabulous ferry ride! 💖

Hankyu Ferry much for this video. Had to do it, I'll let myself out. ➡️

Even tho I travel almost exclusively via automobile and plane due to work and the fact that I live in the US I immensely appreciate your videos and especially in the sincere manner in which you present them, most travel youtubers who push similar content I find unbearable, pretentious and relish in showing off their exclusive privileged experiences which many will never be able to experience **cough cough, Sam Chui**’ …while you seem more interested in showing what the experience is like in a sincere and respectful manner for those who may or may not be interested in these modes of travel. so you earned a much deserved sub. Thanks for your great content and bonus it’s incredibly relaxing and soothing to watch.

On the ferry from Oslo, Norway to Germany they actually have real tvchannels on the tv :) And the trip over is taking 20 hours, and we are in Germany in 4 hours before we go back to norway :) So total is the trip about 40 hours, but it so much to do onboard. A lot of restaurants, showroom, casino, playroom, cinema for the kids, spa, fitness, pool area inside and so on.. that trip is the highlight of the year, but havent been travel since 2019

Can we talk about the Maetel and Tetsuro from GE999 🤓😍

What a luxurious and expensive way to spend some hours waiting to arrive at your destination xD

Wow. You can eat. I love watching to see what kind of food you eat. I love Japanese food.

The room is like being suite in a hotel except you're at sea. Amazing.

This guy made a life out of riding ferries, eating fancy food, travelling all around Japan.

Wow, that’s really beautiful stateroom. Too bad journey is so short! 🌊 ⛴

Thx for sharing and showing the beautiful Japan. This is an amazing country with very high standard.

Well, you hit the jackpot with this one .. What a NICE TRIP !

I'm a shipping and ferry enthusiast in the UK and have done many English channel, Scandinavian and Mediterranean crossings. I've only just found your channel! This is wonderful! I have been to Japan before and plan on revisiting and taking one of these ferries. I did one of the Okinawa crossings about 3 years ago out of Naha, but I haven't done a long distance trip yet. Thank you for such wonderful videos. ❤️ 🇯🇵

I'm a small eater, sometimes I envy those who can eat a lot and it does looks tempting! Still it's fun to see other people eating. 🤤

I have to keep reminding myself, this is a ferry not a cruise. It’s nice and comfy... almost like a cruise.

I really want to love these videos more, but they always make me so hungry...

It's been most informative viewing a number of your videos these past few days. I hadn't realised how extensive the ferry services are in Japan. Unless you film the shipboard scenes in the middle of the night, they must be subsidised by the government because there seem to be very few passengers. Of course, their main trade may be the carriage of lorry freight. Another noticeable point is just how much food is consumed by a growing young man, even during a typhoon.

Most definitely one of the more luxurious trips you’ve taken! I kind of wish it were longer (the trip).

Added to my bucket list when I visit Japan. Kobe to Fukuka in a Ferry.

“Maybe I had a little too much” biggest understatement ever 🤣 I thought it was cool at the end they had those statues from the galaxy express 999 anime.

I'm curious if you travel so much due to business need, or it's simply leisure ride. Anyway love your videos a lot! They are very soothing.

On one of these trips, could you please show the inside of the smoking area/room? I've only seen them in airports and am curious to see how large they are on the ferry, as well as if they have exhaust fans to keep the air 'clean'. Thank you! I love your videos and am Always happy to see a new one arrive!

I enjoy watching your quiet ferry travels around Japan. Living in Taramizu in the 80's, a young boy was eager to take the ferry to Kagoshima city every time. There were lot of good memories. Such a peaceful country. Love to get back sometimes. Regards from Norway.

I enjoy getting to see you traveling and critiquing places. Thanks so much for sharing your video. From NY State by the Original Woodstock NY 🎶

So, what happens if you do take those clothes home? Can they somehow track you and charge you? Or is it a blacklist thing?

Ha, feels so wasteful to have it for only 12 hours and most of it was sleeping! I'd want it for at least 2 days!

I love the cookies that such a beautiful special touch 😻

Thank you for keeping the video BS-free.

Are “Solo Travel” and “Solo Solo Travel” the same person?

2:04 "The sister ship of _Yamato_ " Me: I thought that was _Musashi_ and _Shinano_

Love videos with no commentary like this. Perfect to unwind to

Beautiful suite! Wow. A little pricey for 12hrs though. Thanks for sharing.

I believe, I could live on that ferry. I loved how the shower and tub, was made.

helow friend this is good my friend. love it ! keep update. see you in bali

That is nice!! "Your Highness requires longer than 6 minute showers..." Sweet! 😃😃

I absolutely enjoy your videos! There is always at least one laugh out loud moment 🤭 "There's something I have to do first" *turns off announcements* 🤣 sending lots of support from Canada 🇨🇦

Absolutely beautiful room and view thank you for taking me along on another adventure

Food on Japanese ferries look great and especially on this one. I wish we had smell-O-vision.

Haha so I was high key thinking I'd take that cat towel and bag home with me. Both of them ! Lol and I'd be buying up some of those cookies! He is SO CUTE that little cat. I prefer a bit of a firmer mattress but not to hard but no super soft either.

Great videos. Love them. Keep it up please

japan is always at another level in technology n everything....love from pakistan🇵🇰❣

beautiful sunrise. what a nice view to wake up to.

Outstanding results! Thank you for posting!

Not only did you get a private balcony sunrise on this trip, but you got a rainbow at arrival; what a great way to start the morning, even if the cafe was sold out of bread!
