That cabin looked comfortable, but that carpet made me dizzy. The food looked good, and the ship peaceful. I am looking forward to part 2.

You know it will be a pleasant morning when you turn on your phone and receive a STJ video notification. Can't wait to see the on onsen episode 🙏

Time to relax and dream of another trip to Japan.

I'm glad your large rice was actually large this time. I'm looking forward to the onsen episode!

You already have over 200 views within 6 minutes of posting! We really like your content!! 😁 Thank you for sharing your travels with us 17:47 was the Porter bowing to the bus? Very respectful of the customers.

I miss the old videos where 120% satisified is followed up by a second helping or dessert. :)

Love it my friend amazing Absolutely amazing ❤❤ much love

One of my favorite little cabins so far. Big enough, really nice window, has a sink, clean. Very nice, much better than a capsule. Dinner looked great, *big* pieces of chicken karaage, but I haven’t seen hamburger steak in a while. I’m sure that salad filled you up, too. Nice trip so far, I’m looking forward to part 2!

@ 5:04 "What is this...?? Curry...Curry..!!!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Man, you don't loose the touch..!!😂👍🏻 Is always a pleasure watching your channel...even the past videos... Cheers from México..! 🙏🏻🐺

I felt your disappointment when curry turned out to be just a bath towel 😮😅 Thankyou for taking us with you 🤘🤩🤘

That was a very nice shot of the cars driving into the hold. It's a great perspective on the size of these ships. Love your channel, STJ. Thanks for always posting:)

These videos are relaxing and require no thinking. Good work.

These videos always bring me joy. Thank you for part 1, I will look forward to part 2.

Thank you for this. It brings back memories: Summer of 1972 I was with my parents on a Japan trip. We took an Inland Sea side trip and stayed at the Okudogo hotel and onsen. It was beautiful! I remember seeing fireflies for the first time there.

Your dinner looked delicious. Your cabin was quite cozy. Thank you. Looking forward to The Onsen. 🕊️♥️🎵🌟

Great way to start the weekend 🙂

The window makes it so pleasant - I always feel so cut off from the world in an interior cabin! I'm looking forward to the onsen part of the trip. Being up to my neck in metaphorical hot water isn't an uncommon occurrence for me, so it would be nice to experience the much more soothing real thing for a change!

When you shook the bag and chanted curry I laughed a lot, thank you for that, it was needed.

What a lovely voyage. Small detail but that whimsical curtain in your cabin really made it feel like home. I could have just laid there and watched the sea sail by 🏝

Your videos are so relaxing! I feel like I get to go on a short vacation every time I watch them! :) Can't wait for the next episode!

Another GREAT video! 🙂

The crunch from the chicken karaage was impressive!

15:24 the sound of the engines and the calm water is so soothing here.

A DELUXE cabin without a toilet!? Wow.

Great trip, even though the island is connected by bridge, but there's overnight ferry between two islands for someone who needs it, especially driver who too tired driving but must be at destination on next day. Overall nice small room but not cramped like capsule room. And lastly, What a generous portions of dinner.

Because tourism has returned, there are fewer hotel deals. Overnight ferries are still a bargain. Thanks, STJ!

Hey, I could live in that room! What a nice setup, and a window too! And what's that, a private onsen? Ohoho, can't wait!

Can't wait for next episode. This looked like a very nice cabin and trip overall

A wonderful ferry trip. I also loved your cabin, including the pretty curtain covering the window. Your dinner looked good. The beef reminded me of Yoshinoya , I would have added Soy Sauce. All in all, a very pleasant journey. See you in the next one. Take care, stay safe.

That looked like an excellent cabin, Solo (although imho red is not a restful color for sleep)! I liked that the ferry hallways were wide. When you wondered if you'd gotten too much food for dinner, I laughed. I knew you'd be able to eat it all! I'm looking forward to your ryokan video.

In Japan, you have a lot of variety of coaches and ferries! It's incredible. For every taste. 😄

love the shot of the 'tv lounge'...quite a small tv for a lounge ^_^. I love your video's, I always enjoy watching :)

Ahhh im not going to be caught off guard this time my friend! My rice and tofu are almost done. 😋😋 love your videos. They do get me hungry without fail. Ready this time. 😄🍽🍱

You are really funny ... and incredible, that you finished the hole meal !

Oh, good, an STJ video. The ferry ones are my favorites. The little room served it's purpose, although I would require a private toilet. Because I'm an older man and must use it a couple of times each night. I thought "That looks like too much rice!". But then I remembered I was watching STJ. There's no such thing as too much rice!

I love when a new video pops up..thank you 😊

I love your videos. A friend and I planned part of our trip around one of the ferries because of your video. It was a great experience.

Excellent as always! 👏👏👌

Thanks STJ. You have beautiful country 💕

Another awesome video. Looking forward to part 2

japan tourism needs to hire you its that simple

14:39 That's a brilliant idea!

Thank you for always posting your adventures! I look forward to seeing more!

Been playing lots of Zelda to relax, new game has me hooked. As a result have some catching up to do with my other relaxing before bed endeavor, your videos

Nice trip, good food and a comfy cabin, just perfect. Looking forward to part 2. Take care 😊

I love your journeys. I would love to do that. Water was beautiful. Loved the grandeur of the lobby and how your room was decorated. Thank-you for taking us along.

I really do enjoy these trips - that was a lot to eat but looked tasty. Thank you 😊

10:35 I think I ordered too much….in my head “no, don’t be silly, I have every faith that you can conquer this trial 😂

It was great. I love it as always.👍👍👍😍😍😍

Cute cabin, great view. Such a tranquil video. Can't wait for what's next.

Watching this the night before going on a trip, getting pretty excited hehe Wish we had overnight ferries here though

Хороший паром, уютная каюта, вкусная еда, чистота - что еще нужно для комфортного путешествия? Спасибо за видео!

I hope you'll be able to ride the Pikachu train! I'd love to see it on this channel! :)

You could hear the karaage! Must have been good. :)

Thank you for making this excellent video.

That cabin looked very comfortable! Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip!

"modern ryokan" sounds like a contradiction at first, I'm looking forward to seeing the inn and the onsen. :)

I always dream of travelling to Japan someday , but then remember I havent even visited the popular tourist spots in my country . Then I remember that I am at least 5 years away from getting a job and earning my own money. 😅

Looking forward to seeing the Ryokan!

As always, you're making me feel hungry! Good things I have rotisserie chicken on the way! Aaah I wish I knew a place that made gyudon... maybe I should try to make some?

👌👍from Kerala God's own country. India

Beautiful video! Thank you!

That was a cool cabin 😎

Nice trip,delicious food

I heard the Karaage! Nice!

The curtains are pretty in your room.

Exciting ❤

I LOVE these videos!

Thank you for the video

Thank you for your content !!

You must eat your lemon, it's good for you. Such fruit is traditional for seafarers.

Your photographic composition and texture were especially nice in this one. Keep up the good work! I like the amount of time spent on food so we can experience what you experience. More of how you use the ship would be nice too. I imagined you falling over the table and onto the chair in a food coma, Lol! Jarvis: "Power reserves at 120% capacity."

جميل ❤ أحب هذه القناة ❤

I love how you check out the beds😊 Solo San, I have watched other solo travelers but I truly enjoy yours the most. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us.

Pretty good and affordable ferry and the food is good too, I like it.

I was starting to wonder where you were! Nice trip and yummy food. Looking forward to Part 2.

What a pleasant trip! It was especially nice to see a room that I was actually confident could be used by someone who needs a mobility aid (I need a rollator to get around).

„I can’t eat anymore“ - wait where is the ice cream after dinner? 😊

chicken and beef looked good.

Very nice❤😊

こんにちわ。船に乗るときはいつも甲板で一番暗い場所を見つけて座って星を見上げていました!!今のところ、カメラの前でそんなことをしている人を見たことがありません。それは常に、乗車、キャビン、食事、ツアー、そして睡眠です。うわー!!

How about a crispy curry? I'm asking the curry connoisseur...✌🤟🍜

Goodness me, the cabin is all colored in red! One will have a difficult time relaxing in the cabin.

..Anyone else initially misread this as 'Doggo Onsen'? :-)

Solo Travel Japan..Thanks Much !.......

I am really looking forward to your stay at Toyo. My old bones would love to have an onsen as I am sure the volcanic waters would be good for you. Really enjoy your travel shows, not sure I could handle a ferry trip though 😅 . Thank you 😊😊

I look forward to watching the onsen video. I think I visited there in 1996.

Saw the Gyudon and the extra rice for the Karage, got scared for you.

I would like to visit Japan one day the team I support Celtic has top Japanese footballers .

I'd imagine that sink being in the room beside the desk is in case the person is uhh not used to boats if you get my meaning lol Otherwise, I do enjoy these ferry videos as you don't get many who do them on youtube

❤❤❤❤

I like oshinko pickles

Just booked my hotel in Dogo Onsen the other day. Mostly travelling by bike to get there though, which is probably going to be considerably less comfortable... ;-;

👏🤩💕 But no curry, bad luck 🥺

👍👍

You love those ferries and they are the best ferries in the world so why wouldn't you?

Dang there were no people waving on departure

👍🍻

I actually notice that by comparison to similar ferry trips at Mediterranean / Aegean Europe, the fares in domestic Japan is expensive. Also, while one can book Aegean ferries many months in advance, the Japanese ones are apparently only open to bookings 3 months in advance and nearly all require foreigners to enquire by email (not able to book on line) with the observed exception of Sunflower Ferry.

Nice trip! But no Curry! 😭
