Japanese Ferry: WHY 12 HOURS? I Skipped the Bullet Train for a Solo Food Feast
I took the Hankyu Ferry from Kobe to Shinmoji (Fukuoka). While the ferry is slower than the bullet train, it’s a relaxing journey.

Great trip. I think your room should be named Single rather than deluxe, but overall great ferry, great room, and great food.
"It was 4:29 p.m. I was working the evening watch out of Sumiyoshi Station. My name is Solo…I am a traveler." (Dragnet theme plays)
(Sorry…that's the vibe I get whenever I see the time thingy near the beginning of these videos.)
The ship is quiet and does not rattle. That is the real luxury.
Thank you for another enjoyable video. Now I want to be friends with Funeco 🙂
The port staff and the truck driver waving made me smile. Now, on to the meal!😊
Sorry you missed breakfast! Does not seem like you had a lot of time for it anyways. But that was really good value, that is for sure! Thank you for taking us with you!
Your lack of support for the ship's curry offering was a bit concerning. Were you not feeling well? 😊😊😊
❤❤
I got hungry after watching this video. 😉😀
SUNFLOWER SUNFLOWER!!! sing along mr japanese man. SUNFLOWER! SUNFLOWER! Everyone must sing!!
Singular bro is vital for any dinner.
All these ferry trips are great. Room looked good for a single night and I like the fact that all these ferries seem to have facilities to bathe, pretty good food, and several vending machines. Great way to get around especially since they al seem to be in sync with buses/trains once you reach your destination.
Hankyu Ferry much for this new video, STJ san!😊
With a QR code to access the cabin, I would be screwed as I carry an old flip phone and do not wallow in the modern excess of smart phones. BTW, it is nice to see the employees again waving goodbye to the ship. thanks for pointing that out. it has been awhile since we have seen the WAVE..
I'm working on the theory that our Solo Traveler is secretly actually the CEO of Sunflower Ferries.😅
shock I think that is one of the worst currys I have seen you have. The chicken and other food looked much nicer.
Women's bath is on the other side
The background noise from these videos are always soo relaxing.
It's a weird addictive sort of watch
I wanna have fluorescent stick too!🧚🔥
Me, having a cold while watching this video 👀
The single room is so nice! I think it’s even better than the Taiyo sailing from Osaka to kitakyushu
11:29 Bro
I like that they serve their bro with all those delicious-looking side dishes 🙂
you lost me at the 3 minute walk time
I don't understand the premise of being on a ship just to enjoy the food. I don't think that that food is made onboard the ship. When I was in Japan, the transit food is TOO good, too consistent, and there are too many options to choose from. It must be catered by land-side suppliers and only the final touches done onboard. So it makes sense that you should be able to get that same food on land. I'd like to see a shipboard kitchen, and if I'm right, I'd love to see a tour of the shore-based catering companies that carry out this amazing feat.
Fortunately, Japan usually keeps their vending machines in good repair, or at least good notifications of problems. Had this been a US ship, I could imagine you showing the shot of the games in the arcade "These are not gambling machines.", then cutting to the vending bank…"*These* are gambling machines." 🙂
You should show how the cars get loaded/unloaded and how they are parked inside the ferry. That would be interesting too!
I guess the curry dish looked better than it tasted………..🥴
Why are there never any other people around? spooky
One float jacket for each customer?
I have to eat before I watch you 😂😂
I know it's kinda cheesy how much branded stuff they have, but the cat mascot is kinda wholesome. Plus I just love cats, so.. 🥺
BRO 🥦🥦🥦❤
yeah it may be better then a capsule but where's the toilet? at the end of the hallway?
the food was kinda expensive, hmmm? but you git a free shuttle bus!
I'm curious, how many face towels and slippers do you have at home? 😂
They should provide earplugs in the amenities kit (for the constant announcements).😅
Good piece.
thank you so much for allowing us to share your journey! I am curious if the outdoor deck can be accessed at any time day or night, or if it's restricted to certain hours
This was a great video! I'll use it as inspiration for my travel videos!
From now on, I too will use the word INFLATION when I mean to say EXAGGERATION lol
I find it absolutely hilarious that you put a description for the most obvious things like blanket, kettle, microwave etc. lol
Bonjour de la Belgique, merci pour ce beau voyage… ❤❤❤… Vivement la prochaine vidéo… 😍😘💕
That food does not look too appetizing. I would’ve thought Japan had better food.
