I am a depression patient.. i watch ur videos to actually help me relax and fall asleep sometimes dreaming i am also on holiday staying overnite in a ferry.. tq so much for your videos..

running for 2 whole minuets is definitely deserving of a treat

Minute 15:20 “Independent tomato 🍅 and broccoli 🥦.” 😂🤣😂

As far as i know, yes, you always start at the outside of the set of cutlery. Soup spoon is usually round.

Oh dude I'm dying of laughter at the treadmill exercise scene 😂 "Road to icecream" and then you actually get an icecream! 😂😂😂 Youre so funny Solo-san 🤣 Arigato gozaimasu 🤘🤩🤘

“Road to ice cream “ ❤❤❤

This was a lovely, smooth sailing. The ship was pleasant, the room looked comfortable, and the food was gorgeous. Thanks for letting us travel with you again.

You know, for having a room to stay, 3 full meals, AND transportation - the price for that suite is really reasonable. Ferries are a great way to travel.

The meals may have been gorgeous, but I miss the curry rice.

You made my year I laughed so hard when you started to run on machine❤

I want to thank you STJ! I will be in Japan in October. At one point I need to travel from Sendai to Hokkaido. I was going to fly but you have convinced me to take the overnight Taiheiyo Ferry. I am so looking forward to it! Thank you once again!

A soaking bathtub on a ferry sounds heavenly to me. As always, your videos make me envious of the Japanese ferry system. Things are so beautiful on the Shin Nihonkai…

The door to your suite was swankier than your actual suite! Another great voyage you took us on, STJ! Thank you!

The meals included were fabulous; my mouth was watering. The junior suite looked comfortable; the bathroom was big enough and had a bathtub, nice.I would definately try this one.

FIRST! Thank you always for the interesting videos.

Another Japanese ferry with the WOW factor! Beautiful, stylish design for all to enjoy.

You should call this video "The Road To Ice Cream". Loved it, as usual.

2 minutes on the treadmill is better than 0 minutes on the treadmill, good work.

As usual you took me on a great ferry ride with beautiful scenery. You also made this old lady laugh. I love your sense of humor. Thank you, from NC, USA. 😂❤

The food looked amazing. A feast for King Solo! 👑

Thank you for your videos, I love them all!

When they have all the utensils laid out on the table for a multicourse meal, you always use the outermost utensils for the plate of food given to you. Also, a bisque is a type of soup traditionally made with the shells of whatever type of crustacean is contained within the soup. As the bisque contained sweet prawns, the broth contains the crushed up shell of sweet prawns as well as pieces of sweet prawn.

You took us to another level! Thanks for sharing 😊

😲 That Spring-themed dinner was magnificent! Wishing I could have joined you! 😋✌️😎

Those meals looked stunning! The tempura looks just like what is served at my favorite Japanese restaurant offers, but the rest of it? Exquisite.

Wow. This was fancy, shmancy meals. I keep forgetting this is a ferry and not a cruise ship. If I ever wanted to try a dinner course that has more utensils than I have fingers on one hand and feel out of place eating, this would be it. The presentations are exquisite and almost too beautiful to eat. I can now see why meals are about quality and not quantity across the pond.

After watching your videos during the pandemic I started learning Japanese. I don't know if I'll ever need to use it, but I do make カレーライス at home and can get it at some restaurants nearby, but so far I like the Vermont Curry brand roux blocks better than the nearby Japanese restaurants. Even if I never go to Japan, it's still good to learn something difficult like another language. It keeps your brain healthy. ありがとうございます

the catered meals were absolutely beautiful!

Can't get over the standard of cuisine, absolutely amazing!

My dear friend you could have put me in your suitcase lol jk beautiful man I so appreciate your videos it makes me feel like I'm right there much love to you from USA aka Virginia please be safe have fun ❤❤

This was a lovely adventure thank you for taking us along.

I have NEVER seen the Sea of Japan that calm...excellent trip.

That Junior cabin is just PERFECT for one or two. The beds looked beautiful . Thank you for the video! I love ferries😊❤❤❤ p.s. ... that food was beautiful😍

When we lived in Japan, we took the ferry to Hokkaido for the ice festival. The seas were so rough that EVERYONE was getting sick, even the Navy sailors. Coming back wasn’t so bad, but I will never forget the trip north. The ice festival itself was worth it -absolutely spectacular creations!

This is the best ferry, junior suite gives feeling of a home, sofa, writing desk, a phone (good to have, ferry is so big if there is an emergency), dinning table, a table with beverages n fridge, bathroom with tub, n the food looks so delicious, beautiful display....i wish to go on board this ferry. Haha...the treadmill, less than 5 mins 😂😂😂😂. Thanks for this amazing video.

I'm gonna watch later, before I go sleep, I love your videos❤❤❤❤

These are the most soothing videos.

I love how the Japanese take a simple ferry excursion to the next level of comfort and luxury, all at a very affordable price. I am late watching this, but I want to thank you for your generosity and time to put this video together for us :)

You got it right with the flatware. From the outside in. Bisque is just a thick/creamy soup with goodies in it.

Sunflower 🎵

The interior decor is decades old in style, but it looks clean. Yes, with utensils, you start outside, and work your way in. The utensil above your plate is for dessert. And, bisque is a creamy French soup made with a seafood stock. It is often shrimp or lobster.

Ahhh Bisque!!! I live in Brittany in France and this is a speciality! Bisque is a method of extracting flavor from the whole shellfish carcass. In an authentic bisque, even the shells are crushed to obtain a fine paste which is added to thicken the soup. The bisque is then thickened using rice , which can either be winnowed to leave only the starch, or pureed in the final phase. Delicious! I love your videos (and your wonderful sense of humour ~ ‘Curry freak’ indeed!). I don’t just watch your videos once, I keep returning to enjoy them again and again. I’ve always been very interested in Japan, it’s culture and it’s cuisine. In my work I had the opportunity to travel to many foreign lands but, unfortunately, I never did manage to get to Japan 🥺. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy your country and discover what I missed 👍🇯🇵👍

I hope the independent tomato and broccoli can find happiness together one day.

Thank you for sharing your lovely sailing and dining experience. It looked decadent and very tasty. Looking forward to the next meal revue.👏 🍣🥢🍚🦐 🕊️⚓♥️🌊🎵

That's just enough fancy food to give you strength to make it to the buffet line😂😂

Hope we get to travel to Japan one day ❤

Bisque is a French style of soup, seafood base with cream and either finely ground shells or rice used as a thickener.

"Independent tomato and broccoli" had me giggling through most of your first meal.

Hello from VI Ladysmith. I appreciate how clean the ferries are. Your cleaners and staff do a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing

Arigato for the video! Very nice ship and room, and the food looks great. By halfway through the video I was starting to think "where the heck is ANYone?" LOL it was like you're the only passenger!

Was waiting for solo san to try playing table tennis by himself for exercise😂😂😂❤

I couldn't eat that cuisine, but everything else looked very nice.

Nice trip,delicious food

Love your sense of humour. "Road to icecream"

I don’t know why but for some reason when you said “I guess they are obsessed with this color”, I couldn’t stop laughing. 😅

Wow the sashimi bento is a work of art

These are so interesting and relaxing to watch, im obsessed

Oh my gosh! These meals kill me! Even your most inexpensive meals are a dream to me! America is so horrible compared to even the vending machine choices!! I’m so in love with Japanese everything!! Bravo!!

Oh, that dinner looked exquisite! The bisque was mouth-watering. With that much heavy exercise you probably could have gone for another 17-ice...

It's always so surreal when you get (almost) entire service to yourself! Last summer I was 2,5 day cruise here on the Baltic. On the return trip I pretty much had the entire "Premium Lounge" with all the services to myself. Staff told me that there was like only 10-15 people total in this entire "lux class" and if it was any less, they'd closed down the cafe/bar and just provided full-on room service for all of us entirely free. Even now they they asked us to "pre-order" if we wanted any heated pastries etc so nothing went stale out in the open. I was so blown away when I was allowed to use the Sauna/Spa they had freely that evening as long as I wrote the cabin number to the list on the door, booked the couple of last hours straight away! Spent like 2 hours just roasting myself in sauna and hot tub with forward facing windows and I had the server on-call if I would have wanted any drinks. ABSOLUTELY the best cruise experience I've ever had, even if they didn't have cabin type I would've preferred on that ship. And I just love these "smaller" ferry-type cruises and ships in general. They usually run with such a small front staff that they, and you, really get to know each other during those trips, no matter how long or short they are!

You had me at Tempura..mmmmmmmmmmmmm

That looked like a very pleasant trip!

I enjoy your videos. You have a good sense of humor.

I think that was the best looking ferry food yet. Must have had a culinary school grad in the kitchen showing off. Makes me wonder what the food was like in the other dining room.

Thank you for this video and all your videos. They're relaxing, I like learning about Japan so all the extra info you add is wonderful. And all your videos have made me want to explore everything about Japan. 😃

If I were in charge of designing this ship, I'd make one room blue just to mess with people. "Man, the blue decor in that room sure was a lot." "....I didn't know you were colorblind."

Fantastic content and as always entertaining and hilarious commentary,thankyou for another brilliant upload ❤

Goodness me what a fine dining experience on board a ferry. I think Japan must have the best transport system and system food in the world. And you don't have to tip. You certainly would not get such good food in the UK and no way are our transport as clean as there. We have too many rowdies who hate to see nice things. Your rivers are so clean too whereas here they are full of supermarket trollies and rubbish. Love your videos and your humour thank you so much ❤🙂👵

Awesome!

Love these vlogs, especially the ferry ones…. but the ferries always seem to be incredibly empty of people or is it just the way it’s filmed ? X

that sofa, somehow make me remember something 6:18

They are obsessed with this color 😂

This is awesome. So much fun.

Road to ice cream... You got it as a reward for doing a treadmill 😄

This trip has lots of nice food!

What an excellent trip.

Beautiful sunset

I love tempura, especially ebi and pumpkin.

Thanks!

Very fancy this time. 👏🏻

Plating looked amazing :)

Дякую за комфортну поїздку. Каюта була трохи старомодною, наче завітали до бабусі. Красивий посуд, сервіровка, дизайнерські порції. Ваш прекрасний з гумором коментар😊😊 Отрималв задовооення, від перегляду 😍😍😍😍

Real fancy I enjoy this trip

You're always very informative, Solo. Winsome photography showing everything one would want to know about the ship and the cabin. The food was so artful! I'm pleased for you that it was as delicious as it was beautiful.

I was worried you might not get any rice at all until I saw your dinner! Looks like you had a very pleasant time on board.

That was cool I really enjoyed and something that I would love to do if I get back to japan again

Beautiful sky

Very nice, but strange to be the only passenger eating in the restaurant. I think I would feel lonely. But I wouldn't be alone if I had some curry! Lol

Glad to see you were wearing your special ‘exercise jeans’ 😂

Very nice. Thank you.

Wow it almost seems like you have the whole ship to yourself!

What a great trip with you Thanks ♡

Lovely trip. The food looked wonderful!

Nice video!

Looks like a relaxing way to spend time

The evening meal looked appetiting. Thanks for the upload. Appreciated.

部屋は家族6人でも最高だよね❤ご飯はバイキングに限るよ😂

The food looks good.

It looks like you sailed passed Sado Shima where I visited in 2019 for the Taiko Festival.

Great and interesting content. I like it. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
