Dare to Try Tokyo's 16-Hour Vending Machine Ferry Frenzy? (2024) 

If you want to see past vending machine meals, this is a video from when I traveled all the way from Tokyo to Shinmoji in 2021. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-me8qgPNiZ-E.html

Greetings Solo San. I have a new Japanese relative. My great-niece Maya was born on Tuesday morning. Her mother is Mizuki and her father is my nephew Harry.

I love your adventures. Makes me feel like i'm there with you. Always enjoy your trips : )

Puts the Vending Machine Ferry on an extensive " Things to do / Bucket List Japan edition " . Thankyou Solo Travel San again for your work with these videos.

Ooh! When I read "healthy eating" I was afraid I was on the wrong channel, but when I saw all that broccoli I knew it was going to be OK!

Wow this ship is so clean, neat and organized. What a fun way to travel.

Thanks for giving us better details of what’s available to eat ! It’s very interesting for one who will never get to take such great travels ! The foods look very good and hopefully I’ll be able to find some recipes that peak my interest! Your videos are always fun and it’s great to see the Ferry destinations ! Thank you ! ❤

"C" is for 'curry', that's good enough for me... "C" is for 'curry', that's good enough for me... OH, 'curry!' 'curry!' 'curry!' starts with "C!" 🍛🍛🍛

I felt for you when your finger ordered chicken ginseng soup, but your heart wanted curry!

I just remembered that the first video I watched was then vending machine ferry. All those frozen dinners look delicious.💕🙏😊

I know I have said this before, but I wish the Washington State ferries had what Japan’s system has. I’d love to see vending machines like these!!

The Japanese have perfected the art of vending machines. The only crummy thing I've gotten out of the uncommon vending machine here in Canada is a can of soda, a candy bar, or a small bag of potato chips.

"I'm 100% ready to eat". 😂😂

It's fun because I get to have an adventure with you while I'm doing my super boring job.

Awesome as always. Hugs from Canada 🇨🇦

I love your adventures.thank you.

On the one hand, I want to try everything in those machines, on the other, I would have to take the ferry so very many times to try everything. I was also going to ask if you ever make curry at home, but that might ruin you for the frozen curries. Not sure.

Thank you Solo traveler for great content 😂

Wow, really get back to your early videos vibe and slept on the standard again!

Another wonderful video, next time you travel buy an oven mitt so that you dont constantly burn your fingers😂

I'm not sure you will see this, but I want to say thank you. Your videos bring me joy, comfort, and calm. I am a teacher and I come home to your videos to relax, learn, and feel calmed. Please keep doing this and stay amazing!

Solo Travel Japan good to see you posting travel videos again!

Thanks for bringing us on another journey. You reminded me of King Arthur, pushing 5 instead of 3. Safe travels!

3:05 I felt like you had the perfect opportunity to have typed out: "This is exactly what I did in my 'ferry' first video."

Matching the vending machine to a microwave and then a microwave preset button to the vending machine item is the efficient thing I have ever seen

Who knew you could get salty pork innards in a vending machine?! 😳

Ngl, this is like a dream to me. A backrooms level I'd never want to leave.

Great trip. It's great you revisit this ferry route. And yeah many new menu updates.

I love watching your videos, they are very relaxing & entertaining. I just love all the different vending machines, I wish we had that kind of variety & quality here in the USA... I'd love to visit Japan and go on one of these ferries.

Nice and relaxing trip STJ. God Bless and be safe

He had his curries, got worried there , that he wouldn't have his curries, talk about a stressful time , lolllll ha ha

Hi, you have gained another friend from the States love watching your video's ❤

beer, ice cream and a cup-o-noodles is all anybody really ever needs, right? It is interesting that there doesn't seem to be many people on board such a large ship. Thank you for the nice video.

Being a introvert I really like how u explore the ferry early in the am or late at night when all is calm n peaceful 😁what does red bean paste taste like?

There's nothing like being nostalgic! It's very annoying when your finger slips when using a venging machine. At least it was something you could eat.

I watch the food in these videos and it makes me soooooo hungry!

日本の自動販売機では、いつも食べ物の品質に感心しています。 普通は量もいいです。 I am always impressed by the quality of food in Japanese vending machines. They usually have good portions as well.

Wonderful video as always❤love from Boston, Massachusetts USA❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

If I opened the beer with one hand, it would have tipped over on me. You make it look easy. When you went to get your curry, I was hoping they weren't sold out, but then you pressed the wrong button. So sad. Yea, you got your curry! Glad your curry was good.

Whenever I watch one of these vending machine ferry videos it reminds of my younger teen days when I'd get Swanson tv dinners and the little dessert section was always as hot as molten lava, remember those days?

So many choices in the vending machines! 🤯I miss living in Japan so much.

That was a lovely sunset. Pink and purple skies make me happy. I'll just have the pork katsu sandwich if that's alright.

stomach warm up complete , now stage 2 🤣🤣🤣

Ever since I saw a ferry video where a person went on a ferry in Japan where they did not have cell reception or internet or wifi of any kind, basically just a dead zone the entire trip I always wondered why there has been no anime/manga about ferry goers who are oblivious to a apocalyptic event until they reach their point of destination. Just imagine being on a ferry for 16 hours and when you reach the docking port you see that 90% of the population has died out due to some viral outbreak and the remaining 10% are zombies or mutations or roving cannibalistic raiders. then you got the ferry survivors haven to try and survive on the ferry, going port to port to get supplies attempting to stay on the water which is the only real safe place while haven in fighting and struggles due to the limited supplies and the class system of the people who were on the ferry. Lot of interesting things one could do with that.

I recently tasted Japanese curry and rice, it wasn't bad.

It’s amazing Japanese vending machines sell such a wide variety of tasty foods and quality personal hygiene goods

Thank you so much!❤🎉

I LOVE the opening chirp sound!!

Thank you STJ for sharing this experience with us!

No escape from the broccoli this time.

I from Kenya. I have watched this channel many times and love it. But what amazes me most is that Japan is miles ahead in all tech; travel, vending machines 😂, hospitality name it but, the yen and Kes (Kenya Shilling) are always almost equal. I don't get it. Everyday Japan is miles ahead of Kenya but not the currency...🤷🏽‍♀️....says i can move there abd more or less live normal but yet more advanced...i dont get it, living in a most advanced country at same money value as mine....?.... someone explain please...yeah i know,the language is impossible to learn!

Beautiful ❤

This seems like a really fun one

Nice video brother. Cheers from another solo traveller :)

Food and capsule looked good ❤

Thick spaghetti. He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready.

STJ-san, I learned how to cook Japanese curry rice because of your videos. I'm an American living in the Washington, DC area

I think this would be an interesting way to travel and try some new foods, even if they aren’t as good as restaurant quality.

Those capsule rooms look to be quite claustrophobia inducing to me 🙃😢

The Takoyaki look great!

I'm not as food-motivated as you are (although I can appreciate a good curry), but I would not willingly subject myself to 16h of only canned food.

"Ready to eat"? You were born ready to eat!!

5:24 the Tokyo gate bridge is beautiful!

I’m curious that there don’t seem to be other travelers.

At least the food in vending machines in Japan are fresh, in theory

We have watched with enjoyment your travel videos, we’ve visited your country twice and plan a third trip of hiking next year there, you have an insatiable appetite 😊

It seems more expensive than the buffet’s for sure.

As a smoker I really appreciate AED next to the smoking room.

when you mentioned your final meal.. i was chanting curry

I’d like to know what the bath looks like one day

I’m not sure I could do a 16-hour trip with only vending machine food available. I would at least want one hot meal!

Hmm ..so many choices...wonder how many will have or be curry? 😁🤗

I really enjoy watching all of your videos, but this time I have a problem with way too much plastic.

I love your videos

Interesting but I think I prefer real people around. And i much prefer a real room such as the suite you had on one of the other videos. I like the look of food on the Sunflower, that would be my favorite.

Another exciting ferry trip! Great to relive a past voyage to remember happy times. Wondering though if the food prices were higher than other ferry vending machines? The frozen microwave choices here in New York State are about the same price.

I want to go to Japan just to eat out of your ferry vending machines.

You spent more money on food than you did for the ticket, almost😮

Oh, I didn’t know Japan had okra!

Sensational my friend your on another amazing journey one-day I hope to travel to Japan I would love it there have fun for me much love be safe

Amazing video

So the capsules, the "standard"... Is that typically the accommodation that the truck drivers get?

❤❤

I will never get used to seeing that monstrosity, Asian hotdog spaghetti.

Spicy Hamburg Curry…I think I made that one time while playing Pokémon Sword. So…I see they take cash, but do those machines also take credit cards for convenience?

14:25 I wish you would have shown the inside of the takoyaki

those cabins remind me of Harry Potter 😅

I wonder what the average calorie count is for some of those frozen items? They look nice in any case. :)

But STJ, kare is healthy! 😉

17:13 not Curry !!! :( 26:22 Yes Curry! Curry!

Claustrophobia apparently isn't much of a problem in Japan.

i have heard that with these cabin style beds that at night if you hang the provided card , with a symbol of a hand on it, outside your capsule at some point a hand will anonymously come thru the curtains of your capsule and pleasure you . The hand can either be a female or male . Is this true ?

Do you ever see anybody stalking these or replacing them

🙁 why am I watching a food ferry when I can't afford food myself?

😮

dan dan noodle without soup please.

Women's bath is on the other side

If I wanted to visit Japan, could I pay you to be my tour guide? ❤️🇨🇦

Do you do this for a living and get paid? 😊

It's cheap but you risk stolen luggage
