Woooooooo...that last shot of that ship going and up and down and smacking the water was something!

I love your trips. Like I am travelling in without leaving my house.

That "semi suite" looks nicer and seems to have more amenities than some of the full suites or royal cabins we've seen you have. The food seemed to be high quality as well. Looking forward to part two. I served 8 years in the Navy and never got seasick, but, from what I saw of others who did, it's nasty. Good luck with that.

I know it's more expensive for you but I especially enjoy when you take higher-class accommodations. Thank you!

Oooh cliff hanger, for a long journey like this it makes sense. That wave at the end though! 🌊

I just found your channel this morning, and you do this to me? A cliff hanger? How dare you!

Laughed when I saw the motion sickness meds, after seeing the end I really hope they worked for you. Man, that ship despite the typhoon looks awesome. Hard to discern from ferry and cruise ship.

Most tourists going to Japan only think of taking shinkansen or renting a car. Thanks for showing us another option, the ferry journey. You are doing great. Keep it up! I hope Japan reopens soon and tourism blooms again.

Can’t wait for part two! Looks like it will be a bit rough!

I am so glad you remembered to take your motion sickness medicine with you!!!!!! at least now this will be exciting for you instead of sleeping all the time poor guy! What a cliffhanger!!!

I love these ferry videos. So relaxing. I'm working on learning some Japanese, but I'm not great with languages. How English-friendly are these ferry trips? I would love to go someday when all this viral madness is over.

"It was more exciting than relaxing..." 🤣🤣🤣 well would like to experience that one day: sitting in a bathtub in a ferry in the middle of a typhoon. That being said, really love this ferry the best so far!!! Goals for when I visit Japan!!! 😍😍😍

"A volume control for announcement" AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING

What I truly love about you videos, the fact that it is long enough so you can feel the trip :) plus no music which makes it more exciting I guess :) Arigato

Since you uploaded this, you're still alive. Thank god. Can't wait for part two, that's so exciting!!

The video had so much personality in it. Your videos are getting more and more entertaining to watch! Especially enjoyed your bath review, "that was more exciting than relaxing." Lol

I live in Hawaii and am looking forward to when travel opens up between here and Japan. The Japanese tourists are missed here as they spend more money than people from the States. More importantly, I think, is that the Japanese tourists are more respectful of cultural values held by the people of Hawaii than any other group of visitors. Then there is always a bad apple. I have relatives in Japan and am thinking once quarantine restrictions are lifted, I'll make my first international travel to visit them. Been a long time since I've seen them. I like your videos and have subscribed.

A cliffhanger from solo travel, well that was unexpected. I really like how the food is the most important on your travels oh and the beds 😁

These ferry rides seem like such a fun and affordable getaway. I'm surprised such travel is not more of a fad.

I found this channel by accident, appeared in my list in KZfaq and it's really one of the nicest channels I've subscribed to. It's very relaxed and pleasant, the lack of a voiceover just adds to that. Good work - keep it up :-)

We've been to Japan on several occasions. We love everything about Japan, the people, the food and especially the culture. We've never taken a ferry trip. Watching these videos is inspiring us to do exactly that on our future travels to Japan. Oh, by the way, people appreciate foreigners at least trying to speak the language. Just be humble and you'll be fine.

I am always happy when you treat yourself to such a nice room. Thank you so much for filming so we could travel with you.

I’ve noticed how much cleaner Japanese people are and how they treat hotel rooms and suites like this. It must make the job of the staff much more bearable and not so overwhelming. And makes turn around time much quicker!

I love that this video is in multiple parts! I would love to see more of what’s in the shops, the massage chairs, cafes, and other on site amenities in longer videos!

"There is a problem. A typhoon is on the way. Anyways lets go!" 🤣 I move to Japan in a couple days, and my flight is about 36 hours away. I've never flew this long in my life, so I hope this typhoon isn't a big deal 🤣

WOW that wave at the end is massive. The creaking in the washroom is kinda terrifying, seems like an adventure.

I'm virtually travelling with you in the comfort of my soft bed at home while it's raining outside. 😅

To be continued Ahhh that's how it is haha, I was wondering how would you put 30ish hours trip into 16 minute video. Brilliant as always, can't wait for part 2

TFW When you get to the end of a good movie & realise it's only part one, meaning there's more! 😆 The crash of the ferry against the big wave 🌊😳

The room looks lovely. The seas not so much. For the future, I find ginger ale really helps. The combination of ginger and fizzy water helps calm my stomach.

When the ship was going up and down at the end it made my tummy turn!! I'm so excited for part two!!:))

Top class cliffhanger ending. Unexpected, but tantalizingly enjoyable.

“It’s not a cruise ship, it’s a ferry”😂 that room is bigger (and nicer) than most cabins on cruise ships, especially if you add that bath.

waiting for the second part, your journey was intriguing !

I cannot wait to see part two . I really liked this ship. 30 years ago on a ship I was was seasick I have never forgotten!!!!!

I really enjoy your trips, I really really like the food parts!!! Thank you for sharing your experiences as I will never be able to do it myself.!!

Japanese ferries truly reminds me more of a cruise ship than a ferry! Just so many amenities for the passengers, on a ferry which a lot of the time is just pure transportation! The only other ferry I can think of that comes even close to Japanese ferries, would be Hurtigruten in Norway between Bergen and Kirkenes, it’s a several day long trip if going all the way, and of course, longer if going back with the ferry again to do a full cruise. Hurtigruten is really a ferry, but because of the amazing scenery in Norway, it became popular to just go for the sake of enjoying the view so it’s now also a popular cruise and the ships are generally like small cruise ships with more amenities than you’d find on for example the ferries between Sweden and Germany. I’d love to visit Japan one day, and if I do, I’d make sure to travel around by ferry a lot because it just looks absolutely amazing! Taking the longest ferry route would definitely be on my list of ferries to travel with. Just remind me to not visit Japan during typhoon season 🤣 I’m already terrified of open sea and deep waters as is, without bad weather added to the mix lol

I'm about 11 minutes in now and your accommodations look amazing! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit jealous. Other posters below me are talking about a part 2, so I'm pretty hyped about finishing this video and getting to see more.

Awesome video STJ, thanks a lot. And as usual your sense of humor. A little request for next time, a quick shoot of the shops in the boarding area, and a some close ups on the ship's vending machines. I know many of us here love vending machines.

Another video YAY! 🤩 And it was so exciting! I can't wait to see part 2! Thank you Solo Travel. Your videos make me so happy! 💖

I hadn’t watched a video from this channel for a while. But I was pleased to see it recommended. I’m just in the mood for something interesting, but calm & I find a lot of things from Japan soothes me, all is well in the world, everything is in good order. I do have Aspergers though 😀

Thank you Solo, you make every day better when you post a video. You were lucky to get a Jacuzzi bathtub at no extra charge ;) Dinner looked great, especially the teriyaki mackerel. (We do teriyaki pork tenderloin cubes on the grill here). This is the nicest room you've ever captured on video. Thank you again for your time put in to filming, editing, addying chyrons... ps: You need to consumer real ginger to combat sea sickness. Stay safe and healthy my friend. You are the best!

Oh man! I sure hope you're okay! Leaving me hanging like this! Beautiful room, not so beautiful seas! Prayers and blessings for luck to be on your side, from NE Washington USA. 🍀💚✌🏽👍🏽🖖🏽

That cliff hanger! Hope those honey ginger drops worked for you and the sea sick pills! Really have been enjoying your videos, thank you for making them

👍🏼 This video, like the bath, is more exciting than relaxing! Hope it ends well! 😬✌🏼

I watch a bunch of japan/asia travel vloggers but honestly this guy is the funniest (also, least obtrusive camera work)

Those last parting shots ! OOOHHH my GOOODNESS !!

I could comfortably live in that suite with a kitchen, and that dinner looked so good

This is a comfortable layout. The tub and shower are the sell point for me, having them separated from the toilet is a stroke of genius. The fact that it is clean and without clutter is also very important since i can get claustrophobic in smaller spaces. This is a winner for me.

I am absolutely fascinated by this means of travel had no idea this actually existed but it makes perfect sense given Japan is an island I would love to travel on one of these just to experience it

This is hands down the best room I have seen on your channel so far. Spacious, beautiful and A BATHROOM INSIDE THE ROOM!!! Yes!! 😃 I love it. 👍👍

I've been binge watching your videos. So excited a new one was posted 😊 love these! I want to go on a ferry ride when I visit Japan one day.

Another relaxing video, thank you!

Can’t wait to see the rest😁

Wow! Can’t wait for part two!

I so love your videos!

Waiting Part II! Thank you!

Amazing! The swells !

I think you definitely got a room that feels every wave, right at the front of the ship

The lack of spoken commentary makes these videos so unique. The ambient sounds add a layer of immersion for the viewer I never realized was missing from other videos.

Yay!!! Just what I need right now!!!

looking forward to part 2!

After I took a long trip on a train in the US last week, it's nice to get a look at what overnight public transit looks like in another country!

I love your Videos. Nice Job Bro.

Looks like the ride is going to be great fun!

How exciting.. can't wait for part 2. 😊

Omg so glad I caught this early. Made my day. Thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taking a bath in heavy seas would be very interesting. Lovely vids.

Can't wait for your 2nd half of video!

Semi suite looks great!

Your suite had an awesome view!

the ferry vids are very relaxing !! fantastic ! I love it !!

Absolutely love watching these videos cannot wait for part 2

I like this channel a lot. Thank you for all of the great videos.

Thank you for posting these peaceful videos.

Your videos always amuse me. Be brave, Traveler!

👍👍👍👍👍.....anticipating the Part 2.....

You’ve such a good view in this room!!

Brave journey! 💨🌊 Really excited to see the second part

I am impressed at how reasonable the prices are. I try to compare it to Canada where I'm from. To travel a similar distance by train (no water option here of course :D) it would cost more, take a similar amount of time with far less in the way of comfort and convenience. I am envious, that's for sure.

Exciting... I can't wait for the next episode. 👍🤓👍

Very interesting! One of the better ferries you have been on!! Trying to find part 2...

Very relaxing videos, thank you for sharing.

Your content is just amazing! Informative, simple and relaxing.

Oh my! Another adventure! I can’t wait for part 2!

Looking forward to Pt 2. Love the suite and dinner looked yummy.

I love your videos! They're soo relaxing and interesting. Im from Argentina and im hoping to visit Japan when this whole pandemic is over. Keep up the good work!

I enjoy your videos very much.

have a safe trip!

omg - I was just binging your vids and you release a new one - TY - 🛸👽💚

So glad I came across your channel 😃👍 Love it.

A cliffhanger? Oh no! Can't wait for part two. I like the Greek theming of this ship. Thanks for another great video!

So peaceful video, l like it.

It's the nicest cabin yet!

That room is fantastic. Just found your channel. Loving the videos. Can’t wait to see more.

OMG you can't end it like that. Can't wait for part 2!

I’ll try it this year!

Have a safe trip!

Whoaaaa it is awsome 😳🤗😁

It’s great to see that you prepared early for any possible motion sickness. In the past, I’ve had friends, family (and sometimes myself) become completely knocked out during a trip because their stomach is at war with the winding and bumpy roads or rough seas. And when your stomach is losing that war, it makes any trip not as enjoyable as it could be, so taking proper precautions and being prepared is always a plus!👍
