Unlock Japan by Overnight Ferry: $87 Hokkaido to Hachinohe 

Correction: The meal I had at the terminal cost 1,110 JPY / 7.20 USD

Solo, I just want to say that even if this is all very ordinary for you, I really appreciate these videos. Overnight / long distance ferries are just not a mode of transportation in this part of the world. Every one of your trips is absolutely fascinating. And it's always fun to guess when you'll get your next curry hit! 😅

STJ-San: “I’ll just eat 2.” Viewers: I don’t think so. 😄

There's nothing nicer than waking up early on an overnight ferry as you approach somewhere new and going out on deck and watching the sunrise. Who needs vast cruise ships?

87$ us for the trip but Gomoku costing the same is probably where they make their money. 🙃 Menu said 1000 yin so that's roughly 6.22 for those who were wondering.

😂"I want something salty in my mouth now" 😅 I'm so immature for finding that hilarious 🤭 Thankyou for always travelling and eating STJ-san 🇭🇲💜🇯🇵

Even if you ordered the large portion, I don't think the rice topped with starchy sauce cost you US $87!

8:20 Was legit not prepared for the wave of disappointment that greeted me when you opened that box.....

I love the way you make those videos it really feels like traveling there, no talking is so helpful enjoying watching.

For the price, it looked reasonably comfortable. Thanks for taking us along

A new STJ video is a perfect way to spend my evening 😊 After seeing all these videos I decided I definitely want to stay on an overnight ferry when I visit Japan! That's an experience I just can't pass up. Also those lamps on either side of the TV in your room were so cool!

Solo Travel Japan …..Hello again I just wanted to let you know I appreciate these videos I always enjoy them .I love your sense of humour,thanks for sharing 💖

Hello! I'm so happy to see your content on my stream again. The algorithm is such pain... Love you work!

Two only? Yeah, right!! At least you didn't finish off the box. It's a nice ferry, but arriving at Zero ugly hours is not great.

This is a very affordable deal, and the combination of a boat ride AND room with shower/bath is a killer. I hope to travel Japan someday, and South Korea too. And overnight ferries sound like such a cost-effective way to see as much as possible within a reasonable span of time.

12:25 you said “I’ll just eat 2” my mind laughed and thought nah, you have at least half 😁 you didn’t let me down 😂 I like that it’s a variety pack, nice as a souvenir/gift. In case anyone didn’t know, if you work in Japan & have a holiday/vacation it’s customary to buy some small souvenirs for workmates 😁 lots of places have small snack souvenirs like that shop had & in this biscuit and chocolate pack 😁 I watch a lot of Japanese based channels. Anyone who doesn’t live in the UK, sometimes if we go somewhere, say to Spain you might pick up a bag of Spanish sweets for workmates it Turkish delight in turkey

STJ, this video tour was a great one. I do want to tell you that I miss your distinctive chirping noise at the beginning of the video - hope it returns.

I have an exam to take in an hour's time, and this video really helped to calm me down. I'm always happy when I see you post something new!

Enjoyable video as always! ❤

Thank you so very much for this! Never stop traveling!

Thanks for taking us. I'm surprised that if the ship arrives in the wee hours of the morning you have to disembark, could wait until 8 at least.

My dear friend, I really enjoy it when you go on these amazing trips. Japan is definitely a place I want to visit someday. I send you lots of love and hope you stay safe. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy yourself, and do it for me too! 🤘

Thank you for your amazing videos. I will never get to travel in Japan, but thanks to you I can have a small taste of it. I love your videos and find them so fun and relaxing I watch your channel to help me destress after a long day. Thank you for sharing your adventures and helping me find a little bit of peace in my crazy life. Safe Journeys.

When you opened the fridge I remembered this from last week, one of the children in my family (we all share child care) opened our fridge and with a big dramatic sign said “cold air, condiments, jam & milk” 😂 Half hour later the supermarket delivery came 😂 A couple of years ago there was only 2 apples or something left, none of his favourite avocado or berries, he said to his mum “are we poor?” They’d been doing a topic at school about helping poor people, their school even give out food parcels & sometimes rewards are sometimes like pizza and drinks for the family with a dessert.

I have stayed in a business hotel in Shinjuku, and that 1st Class Cabin is twice the size of my room! You know what I really loved about this video is that my phone was vibrating differently during each different mode of transportation. 😊 I am headed to Japan this fall. I may have to make a pointless trip just for the experience.

I love Japan 🤩

Nice ferry, but the route is so quick that I'd probably go to sleep immediately and only wake up to shower and disembark. Getting barely 3 hours of sleep is not an ordeal my body can take anymore.

Only 2 😂. Your entire fanbase giggled at that.

Hokkaido is definitely on my list of places to visit when I do eventually go to Japan. Can't wait to try all the good food there.

Great trip. If the ship depart later, maybe you arrived at civilized time. The room is huge, but since the trip duration below 12 hours, it isn't enough to enjoyed the room.

I just knew the mattress and pillow would be medium when STJ squished them. Always enjoy these videos.

Nice short trip at a reasonable price. 👍👏✨

300k congratulations 🎊

Congratulations on 300k subscribers! 😀🎉🎈🍾

Beautiful camera work. 🙇‍♀️

Congratulations on 300k 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thank you! Well done again! But Gomuka is a little expensive!😊

‘This is a sink’. For those that come from countries without sinks and may have thought it a toilet!

New subscriber..Ohio , USA...really enjoy your videos !

Nice clean ship, not too fancy but ok. The food from the vending machines once heated looks as good as airline food so no problem. Only 87. dollars is a great deal. Thanks for sharing..

Amazing ❤

It would be awesome if those yukata are sold separately. I love the design! You rarely see a playful design in men's yukata. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Congrats on 300k! I really enjoy your videos! ☺️

Royce chocolate is one of my favourite chocolate brands ❤

Wow! Great way to travel! Thank you. Just subscribed

That was a great sunrise 🌅

I never get a good night's rest, but thanks anyway for the optimism!

I love your Videos ❤ you saved my saturday

I love sticky rice with salted fish. Anyway, that room looks very comfy. Seven hours won't be enough!

it is bedtime , i will only eat two made me actually laugh. thank you.

Some of these, I would just want to take back to back and "chill". )

Glad you only had two Royces; more would have spoiled your appetite! ..... Nah, just kidding.... I am still so surprised how the sun comes up so much earlier in Japan! ✌🤟

Hi big fan ❤

I'm feeling stuffed just watching you eat all of that food!

Solo-san being bad boy, 2 pcs of Royce Choco turn into 5 pcs. Hahahaha

9:19 I have the same basket as shown next to the sink. I keep my socks in there, but okay 😀

I took a bus from Sapporo to Tomakomai port. It was convenient but crowded. Maybe the train/bus combo on this video is better. I dont know if i was just unlucky with a crowded bus.

Chocolate "it's before bedtime, I'll only eat two" 😂

Nice trip

"It's before bedtime. I'll only eat two." I think you translated "two" incorrectly.

9:18 - we have it, folks... blurred outline of STJ;s face in the tap

Very nice🤗❤

❤❤

Good job.

Looked like a great value for your money !!!

12:44 two… of each 😂 can’t leave sweets out too long, because that’s how you get ants!

Oh! So it's the other one that ran aground a few days ago

9:13 😙👌🏼 perfection

Those amenities look amazing, but for such a short trip you really can't take full advantage of them.

6:26 ohh my.. It may be an accident. But was that the first time we saw the women's sauna door?

Sunrise > paper cup treasure box

"Salty pork innards" does not sound appetizing! Good call on the seafood rice bowl.

The Gomoku ankake gohan cost as much as the ferry ride? Hope it was tasty. 😜

Pretty disappointing for the price and super short sailing time. The chocolates are really why took this trip, right?

13:00 😰 NANI???

Please use your contacts in the Diet to pass a law requiring all ferry operators to play “Sunflower, Sunflower” for at least 10 minutes during boarding. 🌻🚢🎶😁

Strangely I feel sleepy....

The price for dinner is probably a mistake, JPY 13500/$ 87 looks a bit overpriced for a dish (even a large portion).

18:28 I'm envious of people who can sleep on command. I'd probably only get three hours of sleep on this route.

Not sure why, but the way the beds were made up when you walked in looked like sumo wrestlers to me. Besides that, I'm teaching myself katakana, and I keep trying to translate the scripts I catch in the video. It's a surprisingly useful study item.

What is the etiquette with the night wear and the slippers etc, can you keep them? Are they included in the ticket price?

Orange Ferry, Silver Ferry, Sunflower Ferry: You are really giving me too many options about my 2025 trip to Japan. You really do spoil people.

"I will only eat two" - one of us can't count.😇

Did you try both beds or why are both of them untidy before you disembarked?

I wonder if Royce also make rolls?

Hey

How full are most ferries? 10%? 50%? 90% We don't see people on them very often, which I know is because you try to avoid showing other people, but it would be interesting to know how full they really are usually.

3:45 13,500 for a plate of food, wow.

Don't you hate it when there is two six o'clocks in the same day?

Did you get any Rolls for your Royce? Tee hee!

The price of the ferry journey makes the bus fare seem expensive. Is ferry travel subsidized by the Government?

3:47 You have the meal at 13,500 yen/$87. Seems a little pricey.

At 3:51 the price said 87 USD was that a mistake, if not that is an expensive meal.

The think you mean sleep while you travel

Why no other passengers?.

Why do we see so few people in the ticketing area and on board?!

Sir, your counting skills need to be worked on. “I will eat two”. Proceeds to eat the entire pack. My kind of math!

wahh mr solo travel, your whole overnight trip was $87.00--- that starchy sauce plate of food was $84.00?!😱 i just think your extra large $20-30.00 bento boxes are so much more worth the money🤷🏻‍♀️

I'll only eat two... 🙂

05:18 were you aware that your dessert expired 24 years ago? I hope you didn't feel like throwing up...🤢😅 no...is that a misprint?
