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

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!

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.

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.
