I watch several Japanese KZfaqrs whose whole channels are dedicated basically to just ferry and train travel in Japan, and it has absolutely made me put "take a ferry" on my list of things to do on a dream Japan trip. Say you spend five days in the Tokyo area, and now it's time to go down to Osaka and Kyoto, you take the ferry, decompress, do your laundry (many ferries have coin laundry), and then you're ready to roll again at your next destination. And as a bonus, you get to be on the ocean for a bit. What's not to love? Also, did you know there are ferries that are vending machine only? They everything you could want.

Amazing video, I would love to explore this when we visit! I stayed in Scotland growing up, and my father worked in Ireland, so every school holiday we would go over on the ferry for a week to visit. In the 80s and 90s, these were not fast. What now takes 2 hours at most was, at that time, a full overnight sailing (I recall a now defunct route on the old pride of rathlin, it was at least 12 hours 😅 in a tiny cabin). I LOVED it. The sea air, the buffet meals, the staff. I was often invited to visit the captain, as my father would make trips 3-4 times a week, so he was known. Had completely forgotten until I watched this video. You brought back some amazing memories of my childhood 😊 Thank you!

When I was a child, we took a ferry from Tacoma to Vashon Island. For whatever reason, my father explained to us, at that point, that because life is unpredictable, we should try and live the moment and enjoy it, and told us there that one day he would leave this world, that we all would, so best to enjoy it. Make time to build memories. We are still blessed with my father having good health and still being around. That said, I took that same ferry in 2008. I love watching videos about trips on boats like this, specially because its in Japan, and specially because it always reminds me to live and enjoy the moment, and that life is unpredictable. Next trip to Japan, I'm going to try and take a trip on a ferry like that one. I'll look up Red Lobster too lol

Love the idea of this ferry trip, but I get really bad motion sickness so I would 100% need a view and maybe able to step out as many times as possible. The last time I was on a Ferry we hit massive waves, I still had to go outside and get soaked just to calm down lol! Pro tip for motion sickness : ginger biscuits. There was something "floating" on the water when passing Kyushu? Omg I need to go to Red Lobster!!!!!!! I loved it when I went to the US 10+ years ago, I must have it especially in Japan!!!!

On my last trip to Japan, I took a ferry from Beppu to Yawatahama, Shikoku. Only 3-4 hours so not as long but I was amazed by the comfort on this boat ! There weren't many people so I had almost a whole cabin with seats for myself. They had TV screens around with games for kids, a pachinko, crane games and vending machines corner. They also had an entire tatami area split into individual spaces. It was a great experience and I have honestly never been this comfy on a ship. Highly recommend if you want to try something different.

Great video as always. As matter of fact I did ride an overnight ferry from Kagoshima to Yakushima; however it was the exact opposite of this one. Let's just say that taking that trip is for more the adventurous type. For those who are interested it is called the Hibiscus overnight freight ferry and I like how the site I got the info summed it up, comfort is the last thing they consider. And one more great memory that this video triggered was again when I had lived in Kagoshima, there is a volcano island called Sakurajima and on that island you can get curry where they shape the rice like Sakurajima volcano and then you pour the curry over it as if it was like lava erupting from the volcano.

I would *totally* spend a day on a ferry! I have good memories of the one I took from Kagoshima to Yakushima; loved it, though our rooms were *extremely* tiny and had bunkbeds. Here's a little something about balconies: I went on my one and only cruise with my sister and her three huge sons to the Honduras, the coast of Mexico and some other islands; it was great, but my nephews snored like snorkeling walruses and I couldn't stand it. We had a pretty large balcony and I figured that hey, if I can camp in tents in the desert I can sleep on a balcony; so I got the steward to bring extra blankets, sheets and a pillow, told him what I was going to do, and slept on the floor of the balcony for the entire cruise. It was wonderful! I watched herds of dolphins til I fell asleep some nights, learned that the ship had its own contingent of tiny yellow-winged birds that lived between the decks (my sister thought I was hallucinating til I woke her up around dawn to watch them flying back in to nest for the day), saw bats diving into the ship's floodlights to catch insects whenever we'd come near coastlines, and all of this for the cost of sleeping on a harder surface than usual. Big deal-- totally worth it. Balconies are wonderful.

This was actually interesting timing, I'm doing a similar overnight ferry to Hokkaido next week with some friends. We are cycling from Sapporo to the west coast and then back through the mountains with an stop off at an onsen before catching an overnight ferry back to Tokyo. Unfortunately we aren't sponsored so we got the little capsule rooms. Our ferry is more like 12 hours though so we get on just as the sun starts going down and get off just after breakfast.

I usually eat dinner, watch a movie if there is a theater or just chill with whatever is on my tablet in my cabin. These trips are usually 2 nights long with some hours on land, then going back the next night. Some food can be included in the ticket or one can eat smaller meals in a café. There are no Red Lobsters (and few sea food restaurants) at all in Norway, so I have never been.

Ferries are a fantastic way to get around Japan, and I would 100% overnight sail on one to get where I need to be. I don't get sea sick usually, have only experienced it once, and I blame it on the fried seafood I had before going out. Going to watch this one again as I've missed a lot of the in-depth detail watching on 2 hours sleep. Fun fact: I've never eaten at a Red Lobster. 👋 Hi to your Mom, and love that tradition.

The only ferries I have experienced are in Puget Sound and are an awesome way to travel. Your Japanese Ferry is more than next level! Just having so many lights and conveniences with so few travelers-wow! I would love to be able to spend some time on that Ferry!

This brings back cruising memories as a kid or that one ferry in Mexico where the entire family vomited because of how choppy the trip was. This video is so much easier to keep down! Lol

When you said ferry, I expected a much smaller vessel. They looks like a cruise ship! Def a fun adventure 😊
