I spent 16.7 years in the Military/Navy and on their ships (going out to sea 🌊 for many months on end). I was always told to either drink or eat ginger, munch on some saltine crackers, always have Dramamine (seasick medicine pills) on hand… and then when all else failed 😞, then get a shot of seasickness medicine, from medical, in your tushy (behind, butt, backside, you get the drift) to walk it off.😂 Even as a seasoned sailor, when those seas had gotten roller coaster 🎢 rough, sometimes you body didn’t adjust. Love your whale 🐋 🐳 socks too. 😇Otherwise, I love your videos; always so informative and very useful for when I decide to come back to Japan, in the future to see the land I have not seen in a few decades. Thank you for sharing your piece of your world with all of us! 🥰
A beautiful way to know a bit more about your incredible country. Every detail is so interesting, make me want to be there! Maybe some day... Thanks and greetings from Argentina.
I am very prone to motion sickness. I always take meclizine on ships, and have never become sick even in rough seas. Meclizine is sometimes called by the brand names Bonine or Dramamine 2 in the US.
Washington State tuning in for another episode! I LOVE your channel and I love to journey on Ferry Boat through Japan. I love seeing all the food, the shoreline and islands, the beautiful blue waters... so exciting! I hope to visit someday! Do you ever visit temples? I'd love to see the spiritual side of Japan culture very much. Namaste, many Blessings. I hope you didn't get sick on this trip.
What an exciting voyage! Rough waters, and the shaking must have raised your heart rate a little 🤣 I love the socks! They looked like blue whales🤓. The room was small but neat. Too bad about no arcade. The meals looked delicious. The crunch from the fried shrimp made me laugh. The swag from the store was all reasonable priced. Glad you arrived safely to your destination. A little scary at times I bet. Did you get seasick? Can’t wait to see where we go next! Thank you for sharing 👍😊
Not to be "that guy," but that's ebi-fry, not tempura. Tempura is stuff dipped in a thin batter then fried, while ebi-fry is coated with flour, dredged in an egg-wash, then dipped in panko (bread crumbs) before being fried. Both are equally delicious, although there are various factions out there who claim that one is better than the other, and their debates are a sight to behold.
Greetings from Germany. the food always tastes better at sea i know that all too well =) maybe it's the sea air? I dont know. I'm definitely happy to have found your channel a few days ago. i love everything that has to do with travel
Love the videos .... Japanese Ferrying looks much safer than other countries. I am upset I didn’t make it there . Still time to come I hope. Sea sickness? That would happen to me . LOL , enjoy
Another lovely video from you - in spite of the unsettling seas, your brush with seasickness and cloudy, rainy weather. Thank you very much indeed for taking us on another journey around beautiful Japan - great weather or not, it's all extremely good. Keep those videos coming. They are very soothing. The sea is still a beautiful shade of blue when the ferry docks from island to island. Two things missing - a sunset and a sunrise. I guess it was too cold and cloudy, and nausea wouldn't have helped matters much. Anything containing a generous percentage of ginger helps to settle an upset stomach. That chicken porridge dish you had for dinner looked delicious, by the way - and what an interesting name for it. In my part of the world, porridge is simply dry rolled oats soaked in either hot milk or hot water with sweet condiments to add extra flavour (jam, syrup, fruit or sugar). Is oat porridge a thing in Japan or is it rare? 🌸🌸🌸🌸 PS: I know you filmed your trip on March 28th but, if it is any consolation, there have been strong winds and rain here in Manchester UK for the past couple of days! You wouldn't think it was spring, would you? Weird weather LOL
Thanks for your comment! If it pleases you all, I won't hesitate to go out and shoot, even in bad weather! Oatmeal has recently become a healthy food in Japan. In Japan, it is usually eaten with plums or as pancakes. I have never heard of jam or syrup. There are so many ways to eat it. It's spring here, too, and the cherry blossoms are blooming. However, a typhoon seems to be already approaching. And two of them❗️. Strange weather seems to be happening all over the world. Please take care of yourself♪
@@ITSUKAJAPANTRAVEL Itsuka-san, thank you for your reply. It is important that we never stop learning and your reply taught me something brand new about oatmeal in Japan! I mentioned syrup, fruit, jam etc being used in my part of the world when eating porridge oats. The syrup could be either Golden Syrup (which is a thick liquid sugar) or Maple Syrup from Canada. Honey is also very popular; Jam or Conserve (I prefer conserve as there is more fruit content in it) in small doses. Fruit could be bananas, strawberries, blueberries etc. Once again, the Japanese have got it to spot on with the addition of plums and oatmeal pancakes. Lovely! 🥣 Don't forget, though, that if you see something called flapjacks on your travels, they are made with oats, too. Oatmeal is tasty by itself without the addition of any of the above things mentioned - depending on the brand. My personal favourite porridge is called Flahavan's and it originates from County Waterford in Ireland, where my late father came from! ☘ Now that I've finished my unintended long essay about porridge oats, here is an important note: Please remember that it is just as important that you take great care of yourself as well! Peace and All Good 🌸🌸🌸🌸
I've been seasick. I won't travel that way again. I would wait lol. Your phone checking the pitch is interesting though. Able to eat, nice. And you survived! Thanks for sharing.
Great trip Itsuka. I have experience about rough sea. At that time the ship sailing on the longest section between two ports of its route, the ship is swinging very hard because at that time the ship had little passenger.
me gustan tus viajes. debe ser genial comer mirando al mar. el pasaje debio ser mas barato, habia instalaciones cerradas. sigue asi. muchas gracias por tus videos I like your trips. It must be great to eat looking at the sea. the ticket should have been cheaper, there were closed facilities. keep it up. thank you very much for your videos
Thanks for your comments. We waited for clear skies but ended up taking the ferry in bad weather. It seems that even if a tsunami should hit, a ferry is safer than on land.
Very modest is putting it lightly. The room looks really uncomfortable and claustrophobic. Especially if you're seasick. Did not think Japan provided such low standard of travel.
I don't know if you do it on another channel, but it'd be cool to see different hotel rooms/capsule hotels from a girls perspective! ☺️ Love the videos !!!
You managed the bad weather very well. But if sea sickness is a concern, you could ask your doctor about scopolamine transdermal patches. A naval officer told me about them. In the US navy they are called “wimp dots”, and are preferred to dramamine. I think they work best if you use them before you feel sick.
I suffer motion sickness in every single transport (car,train, boat ) 😞 You are right, there are pills or patches to use before leaving ( 2-3 hours before). It helps a lot but you feel sleepy during the trip 😁
One thing I noticed is that the prices of food have not changed much in Japan over the past 15 years. I recall being able to get chicken porridge with similar condiments in Tokyo for 700 yen back in 2007-2009. Maybe inflation is super low, but its still amazing to see. Looking forward to try the ferries the next time I am there.
Thank you for your comment. I am surprised that you noticed. This is actually a problem in Japan. Prices remain the same even though the truth is that prices are rising. This is great for customers, but it also means that labor costs are being cut and people are being hired at lower wages.
Not to be pedantic but the "roof" on a ship is called the upper deck or topside in English. The "floor" is called the deck. Nautical terminology is different.
Another great video. Thank you for your hard work. I hope the seasickness was not too bad and you weren’t too uncomfortable. I liked your kawaii socks by the way. We’re they whales or dolphins? I think possibly a blue whale.
If it helps any, the best way to avoid getting sea sick means shutting off your parasympathetic nervous system. This can be done a number of ways. You can also insulate your CTZ (chemo trigger zone) in your brain as well.
In the UK, that brownsugar sweet is known as peanut brittle. I was surprised to had to buy an amenity pack. Don't most ferries provide them? As a woman I would not feel safe in a shared sleeping area. Thank you x
Another great ferry journey completed. Shame the weather was not so nice. Am amazed by the sheer size of the ferries. Great food and like the gifts and nibbles you purchase. Sadly no winning stuffed toy on this trip.
Хороший паром.Стандартный. Жаль,что развлечений на пароме нет. А так нормально.Правда вы не показали как вы спали в каюте. Наверно Вас укачало? Спасибо за возможность посмотреть .
Mila Itsuka, vidím že miluješ nie velmi zdravé vyprážané jedlá 🤣🤣. Aj mina SK sme milovníci vyprážaných jedál 😝😝. Ďakujem za relax ri tvojich videách. Možno by bolo dobre niečo aj z kultúrnych pamiatok Japonska. Myslím že už si mala nejaké video ajzabery zMiest. Veľmi by som sa potešila. Pozdrav z malého krasneho Slovenska❤️❤️cca 6 000000 obyvateľov, menej ako Tokio🤣🤣
Greetings from Germany. Oh, I knows rough sea from mediterran sea. But was interesst by me: in car as child I was allways sich and on backseat I must still today carful. But on ship - one night from naples to palermo I must hole time 🤮🤮🤮 but since this night I never becomes sea sick, doesnt matter how hard the storm.
