I'm taking the MOL Sunflower ferry from Oarai (Tokyo area) to Tomakomai (Hokkaido). I wanted to try the ferry's only suite.

Does anyone else watch these simply because they're so relaxing?

yep!! i even answer his questions out loud. i also encourage the consumption of curry

Just by chance I made curry tonight for my family. ❤️. I could watch videos like this for days and be a happy camper.

Sometimes, yeah. I mostly watch out of legit interest.

@lindseyrea9237 6 ай бұрын

They are certainly relaxing. They are also a real insight into Japan today - so different to when I was there in 1998! And the food is interesting - has improved my knowledge of Japanese food - and provided some amusement with some of the takes on European food!

@lindseyrea9237 6 ай бұрын

It has convinced me to actually try those blocks of Japanese curry paste you get in the Asian section of the supermarket. Very tasty and useful.

I was half-expecting to hear the theme song blasted from the very moment your got onboard, but I guess the old MOL ferry hasn't received that update yet. That suite is luxurious, hands down. Love your videos, your camera work is PERFECT.

I traveled on Sunflower Sapporo in late September thanks to your deluxe room video. I can never thank you enough for making your ferry videos- I would have never known the joy of taking that ferry and the memories I made with friends.

That room was HUGE! Certainly a better option if you're traveling with others. I will say, I was rather pleased to NOT have to hear the Sunflower song! 😂 I also got a bit of a chuckle from the "sitting in every corner" section. Too funny!

A fine Suite, the biggest "unfortunately" is that the balcony doesn't go to the side of the ship. With the deck walkway right there, Privacy is noticeably absent.

Body butter is a fancy word for lotion or cream. It's body moisturizer. Oh, I'm sorry your room was so noisy!! It was such an expensive room it's awful that you were unable to sleep well. When you were on the Balcony all I could think of was an older one of your videos and I said Oh No STJ-san, please do not worry me like Grandfather Outside did! HAHAHA there's the curry!!

Aaah I miss Japanese food ;_; your videos make me so hungry all the time the tempura looked SO GOOD... On my last trip I went to Cafe Tamon in Kanazawa because of your videos! Ate TWO orders of soufle pancakes! The seasonal chestnut set and the basic one with red beam paste and matcha ice cream. I stayed at Uematsuya Ryokan in Bessho-Onsen and took the dinner+breakfast meal plan and they had a huge spread of local food for both. Ate salmon, beef, tons of veggies and pickles and egg custard and mushrooms and even clear soy sauce and horse meat... Quite the spread. The hot spring bath smelled of sulfur :p and one of the outdoor bath was a giant clay pot.
