7-Hour Midnight Cargo Ferry Adventure in Japan | Kobe to Shikoku 

It was cool watching you drive into the ship, not many of us will have an experience like that!

Hello Solo san that has to be the most spartan ferry I’ve ever seen you ride aboard yet you managed to pull it off in a positive note. Thank you for sharing.

One is very grateful for your videos since age and health and economics make it very, very unlikely that such trips would occur. There is something in the way you video that is just mesmerizing. As always, thank you so much for the lift in spirits!!

So empty of people. And food! Thank you for sharing your journeys with us.

*mentions Sunflower Ferry* Me: Well, I guess it’s time to sing 😂

A definite off the "Beaten"Path" Adventure! From the beginning walk in the night, the "limousine drive" into the belly of the ship. the room was very adorable and yes, your bed making skills have improved, hehehe! The ferry just reflected history of a time gone by with very ample sized TV Lounge Area and the defunked resturant, now just a three vending machine room with the original tables. You must have been STARVING when you got to the Supermart, so I am looking forward to your "Food Video" for this day. May be you should find some more of these Gems, because it's nice to see the "working ships" that care humans as well.

The walk to the ship added mystery. It's like you have the ship all to yourself.

I love how the air vent was simply called "oxygen" 😂 This adventure felt different, and I enjoyed it 😊 Arigatou gozaimasu 🙏🇦🇺💜🇯🇵

The dark walk there made it look like the beginning of a horror movie or crime show.

"My bed-making skills have improved over the past few years" ... 😂

7 hours on a Curry cup noodle... I see a new food tour in the future :D Thank you for the video.

Me: "I wonder why no one uses this route." (Half way through the video) "Alright, I get it now."

You have definitely fulfilled your "No Frills" travel obligations for a while.

As always thanks for taking us along. I like to think I’m there with you on your adventures, very relaxing!

Best birthday present ever to get a trip with you🎉 thank you for this video as always loved it

This episode reminds me of the covid era ferry rides, so quiet and secluded. Kinda nice but spooky.

Scenary from the ferry is to die for..😍

For some reason or another the room reminds me of a doctors examination room. Even the hallway with all those rooms. Or maybe its just me. But as always, I love your videos :)

The walk to the ferry terminal was a little scary as it was way too dark for safety sake and the other two ferries looked like they were asleep for the night as I didn't see much light from them either. The out of service vending machines remind me of back here in New York 😁. Thank you for letting us travel with you always ❤️

You're a brave man! That looked scary-fun 😂

Immaculate! Great price! Great video! Thank you, STJ! 👍👏❤

Love the ferry rides.

Just stumbled on your channel and I'm glad I did. Reminds me of taking the ferry between Nova Scotia and Newfoundland when I was younger. Good times. If you ever find yourself on that side of the world, give the maritime provinces a look.

That was fun! I want to try exploring Japan through local trains and ferries, if I ever get the chance.

All breakfasts are temporary, young traveler. But some, it must be admitted, are more temporary than others. This is an especially nuanced video, deftly presented as usual.

Loved this video! Nice to see a different ferry. 😊

Kind of a lonely trip for you this time…glad you live in a relatively safe place since you walked alone so much. Of course we are all along with you, so to speak…

Hankyu for taking us along!

Love this channel soooo much!

Very cool! Adventure's like this are fun. I'm glad you had a good one!

I made a nice Vermont curry tonight with oshinko, apple, and potato.

Glad to see your video 😎👍, only few things that gives me any peace is watching your vids, keep it up brother 😊👍

I was waiting for a nice meal!

I've never visited Shikoku. It's the last of the main islands of Japan I've not visited yet. Maybe I'll take a ferry to get there, but probably one of the fancier ones.

Just so you know - the Seafood Cup Noodle is REALLY GOOD!!! There's actually seafood in it, lol. Your cabin isn't bad, but the lack of any way to lock it is a non-starter for me. Still, looks like an interesting trip off the beaten path.

Love this channel 😊

what a survivor on the ferry with little food!

The staterooms are all business. Great video. Thanks!❤🎉

Thank you for sharing. I love your adventures. 💙💙💙💙

That noise would have driven me bonkers.

Perhaps the restaurant is only open for daytime voyages? It is a midnight voyage afterall. That cabin is the most basic cabin I've ever seen. No Wi-Fi I assume. At least the room came with a powerport.

Very good video, as usual. Obviously, this ferry is primarily designed for trucking, between the two ports. Most of the drivers bring their meals with them, but they will mostly sleep for 6 hours, or a little less if they wash first. Hence the superficial food service offering. I would hope that the crew has better food service in their quarters.

Wow, I don't think you've ever taken a ferry with fewer food selections. At least you had curry noodles.

Beautiful ❤

Great video of you driving in the ship.

Cool new video 🎉

Cool video. I like these ones that are of the beaten path.

Japan is so amazing sensationl my friend live it up much love be safe ❤

Ohhh!............I like these Red Chairs

How scary to walk so far in dark area when they know some lights would be appreciated. Then NO FOOD!? Always bring snacks on ferries like this. It was peaceful though.

Wow. The adventure getting there in the dark made me nervous for you

As a light sleeper that rattling sound will be the death of me

You said the 🌻 word !! 😂😂😂

Nissan Cup Noodle in Japan is so much better than the Nissan Cup Noodle in North America.

Great trip. Ah yes, you try this route. It's second time watching this route, and still having same quote, even though between two Island is well connected by bridge, but the ferry still operating here. Looks like in the past this ferry running to other side of Shikoku Island before moving into this route. I think the kitchen cook for passengers with vehicle only or even truck driver only.

I hope you had a nice ferry ride

What a sad, lonely ride on a ship clearly past her prime. It's like you were a stowaway.

こんにちわハク。 オレンジフェリー!! オレンジ、バナナって言わなくてよかったね。 みんな大丈夫？最近の日本はちょっとねっとりしているような気がしますが？希望が色だとしたら何になりますか? もちろんオレンジですよ！！ そして彼はカレーカップヌードルを食べます。 メニューにカレーがある場合、ハクはカレーを選択する必要があります。 彼らは何か料理をしていますか？質問が一つ、カレー？ ああ、大声で笑ってしまったハク。

Ty STJ 🙂 Prayers for Ishikawa prefecture 😔🙏

An interesting trip. Your cabin wasn't much, but was private - I'm guessing you got a little sleep.

Yay! A new video! ❤️👍🏻

Interesting video thanks

SUN Flower, Sun Flower

Very cool!

Always pleasant viewing. Were the motorcyclists going sightseeing?

Nice trip

The place look very very dark next time pls take a taxi its safety for u 👍🤙👌

Wow, what a godforsaken tub. Nothing to eat but cup noodles. That's a first. Say, the big red spaces on the plan marked 101 and 102 wouldn't be suites, would they?

So pack a picnic basket.😝

You need a flashlight.

I love your videos. My only question would be, What was the temperature?

weren't you freaked out that it didn't have a lock on the door?!

Very basic trip this one. Like you say something different .. and not too bad. Bushyboy Oz

It's so sad you didn't have much to eat on this trip.

So why is this the least traveled ferry?

Why would you want to drink the sweat of a Pocari? Is it sweet sweat?

❤❤

what's inside the pillow? red beans?

Why it's written ライス and not ごはん if its for foreigner then just write Rice💁🏻‍♀️💁🏻‍♀️

Anyone else hoping he was going to show us inside the supermarket?

Not a lot of entertainment on board but a comfortable bed

😊

Rather be on the Sunflower

Great video! But now that I saw Sunflower, I'm singing the song.

🙋‍♂️DOMO SOLO,🙏💚💚💚

Sunflower…sunflower…

1.5k+

I would be worried if my taxi driver was wearing a helmet.

Wow ... This is almost as basic as a capsule.

not going to lie, the thumbnail looks just a bit scary 😂

Reservations can only be made by phone Cash only 😂

Miss you Kobe, rest in power, King!

⛴️

This route seems not user friendly, feel sorry for you😂

Not the best voyage to take when you’re hungry. The curry choices are too limited.

now that was a real shitty ferry, and a shitty train station...

การเดินทางที่น่าตื่นเต้นน่าสนุกเงียบสงบดีมากครับ ❤️🇯🇵🎌👍🏻✌🏻🍻

a very depressing ship solo , not much to eat and a very empty feeling . don't like the cabin, with no lock on door and no bath room.
