Useless expensive for a very small and ordinary room dude ...

@bastorbap Жыл бұрын

Most of your video's are all about the journey, not the destination. It's relaxing and joyful to watch. But it would be nice if you sometimes can focus a bit more on the destination as well. I bet there are several "hidden gems" as you called it, out there. Like small mountain villages or a remote island to explore. Maybe also include cheapest option to your destination, not everyone is swimming in "Kuga dollars" :P Anyways, keep up what your doing I bet soon you will know every traintrack, ferry or bus-stop in Japan ;)

Interesting how the ferry is so new but seems much more simple compared to some of the other ferries you have been on. I like how they expected you to survive on one tea-bag for the whole journey and speed-eat in 30 minutes! Great vid though, thank you!

As a fast eater, that part would be fine for me. But, as tea lover, I would definitely need more than one bag. 😂

Great trip, finally you visiting Okinawa. Something interesting about Ferry from Japan's main islands to Okinawa is the vehicle deck which usually loaded with vehicle, but on this route it's loaded by containers. I don't know the size of those containers, but looks like it's about 20 ft or even less, only for Japan Domestic Usage. Nice room by the way, and yeah you met jet foil ship.

Kuga-San, does a passenger ferry travel from Tokyo to Okinawa? One time when I lived in Japan, I stayed several days in Kumejima (an island near Okinawa). It was beautiful, with white sand beaches. Some of the food was more like Taiwanese cuisine than Japanese cuisine. You may want to visit there sometime!

What provision is there on these ferries for passengers who don't read Japanese? I probably wouldn't be able to complete the boarding pass unaided, so is there someone to help? Also, I like washlet toilets, but can't read all the kanji. Are instructions for washer, AC, TV remote available in English?
