I'm taking Taiheiyo Ferry from Hokkaido to Nagoya, which is the longest distance ferry in Japan.
The Tomakomai-Sendai route operates daily.
The Sendai-Nagoya route operates every other day.
Ishikari's Semi-Suite Episode 1
• Unexpected Semi Suite ...
Ishikari's Semi-Suite Episode 2 (when a typhoon is nearby)
• Taking a Ferry in Japa...
Thanks for watching

My husband and I were interviewed for Japanese TV on the Sunflower ferry last night headed to Beppu. When asked how we knew about the ferry, I mentioned this KZfaq page. It was our inspiration! We are Americans here on vacation. Thank you for all of your videos! 🇺🇸🇯🇵

I loved the Suite, which has two windows. Have you ever considered standing behind the curtains at night with no light on the camera to see what you can see in the Ocean? I guess you preferred the European Curry. The Keema Curry looked like a "chilli" or meat stew. Glad the sea wasn't too rough since you forgot the Meds, but the waves were "Baby" ones. LOL 😂😂
