Japan's INCREDIBLE Overnight Ferry (More Like a Cruise?)
Рет қаралды 214,030
Күн бұрынWatch this Japan Travel Guide to get a sense of this Japanese Ferry Travel! You'll see what it’s like to travel from Beppu to Osaka for 12 hours on Japan’s Newest Ferry, the Sunflower Kurenai!
Join us as we travel in the lap of luxury onboard a ferry that’s more like a cruise ship!!
This is only the third time we’ve made a video highlighting a ferry and it was the best yet! This Japanese ferry truly has it all!
We splurged for a Japanese Style room, complete Tatami Mats for sleeping. We also explored the Dinner Buffet and the Breakfast Buffet to experience delicious Japanese Ferry food!
That means you get to see it all! You’ll have to be the judge of whether it’s worth the price for you. We’ll even rate the whole thing using the JebScore to give you a sense for the Ferry Terminal at Beppu, the Ferry food, the (really cool) room we booked, the onboard entertainment, and even the service!

Having seen many a video about these cruise ships from Japanese KZfaqrs, I was curious to see how non-Japanese people see it. I had hoped to factor that into my own journey in April/May, but it just didn't work out. Maybe next time. The Beppu-Osaka route is largely sheltered by the Seto Inland Sea, so it would be a lot calmer even in bad weather than the open seas, say going from Tokyo to Hokkaido which sails through the open Pacific Ocean. Did you do any sightseeing in Beppu? I day-tripped there from Fukuoka, and visited the "Seven Hells" hot springs. There are a lot worse ways to spend a day in Japan, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Some of the seven hells have very impressive gardens built around them, and one even has crocodiles (lots of crocodiles). If you haven't seen them and find your way back to Beppu some day, I recommend checking them out.

I’m from Osaka japan🇯🇵I love your channnel😊 9:09 that’s “Satsumaage” Fried fish cake. made from fish paste🐟sunflower Buffet is amazing. You can eat fresh sashimi. I recommend take the ferry from Osaka. The landscape is beautiful and sometime there are daytime cruise. 9times this year and very popular. You can see beautiful view from under the huge bridge🌉Kobe is also beautiful🌆single tiny room is very nice too. Everything new and clean✨

Japan really has every type of transportation across the entire country. The two major airlines even used to fly 747’s domestically (as everyone probably knows). I wish they had them in service longer so Jeb could’ve reviewed it. I love watching these types of videos, definitely the nicest looking ferries I’ve ever seen. Great review as always Jeb! It’s very nice Suzanne reviews as well so you two get to travel the world together on all sorts of transportation.

My favorite ferry in Japan is "Taiheiyo ferry". Their ferries go between Hokkaido to Sendai, Sendai to Nagoya. Those price is reasonable and if you want to save money, you can choose really reasonable one( but you need to sleep with people on the floor...if you pay more you can choose good rooms too) They have a concert or movie night, foods are good too. When I was living in Sendai, I sometime go to Hokkaido by the ferry.

Great video. I've seen lots of these Japanese ferry videos and am always amazed by how empty they look. I'm interested in how you write your scripts. They are so crisp and all have this same great cadence. Do you outline what you want to cover, do it on the spot, or in post production. You both make it look so easy and seemless but the behind the scenes prep must be immense.
