I'm going to travel around Japan by taking 4 different overnight ferries. The first one is Tokyo Kyushu Ferry from Yokosuka to Shinmoji (Fukuoka). This is the episode 1.
Episode 2
• Beautiful Voyage | Ult...
Suisen operated by Shin Nihonkai Ferry | Capsule
• It’s 20 hours to Hokka...
This is the same route but the other direction
• Trying a Japan’s Gourm...
Thanks for watching
My “0” went on a vacation and hasn’t been back yet. If you find it somewhere, please tell it “get back to work asap, otherwise the dollar-yen exchange rate will remain wrong in the video” Correction: 1,000 USD / 135,000 JPY *the exchange rate is based on the day of editing
😁🤣
Nice sense of humor
I found your "0" in the restaurant eating more curry. It says it will be back at work in the next video 😁
そう、あれ計算が合わないと思ってみていたらこちらにコメントがありました。 「０」さん、どこ行っちゃったんでしょうね。 続きを楽しみにしています。
question with Japan opening up, will you continue with this channel or rebranded the name?
I am a nurse and sometimes my job can be so taxing. I watch your videos when I get home before I got to bed with a cup of tea or snack, and they calm me right down. They are so well edited and produced and make me want to travel someday. Thank you for making this beautiful content.
I am a solo graveyard shift worker - yes, I throw these videos onto the big monitor in my watch center
Night shift ER nurse practitioner here, and hard same! These videos are so relaxing. They do an amazing job of getting me out of my own head.
@@hillaryg4yle ugh, ER life.
Thank YOU for your Service - Your Everyday is unlike any previous days - I can well appreciate the Stress.
i’m not a nurse but I do exactly the same thing lol😊👍
I’m not drunk. It’s the ship. That made me laugh out loud.
It was perfectly set up with a can of beer too. 😂😂😂
I love your channel. As a former Seaman i really appreciate your outstanding mix of well placed humor and your attention to detail especial on your Ship cruises. By the way: I used to live in Berlin. The Germans name of the "Berlin Food Stand Sausage" is "Currywurst mit Pommes". Pommes means fried potato sticks. Your dish looks very familiar to ours but the sausage is more fried over here. Kudos to the Chef anyway! Hey, thank you for taking the burden of travelling for us and please always have a "Gute Reise!"
The "Berlin food stand sausage" is supposed to be a "Currywurst", I fear. And no, that's not how they usually look. A Currywurst is a german Bratwurst cut into slices and soaked in a slightly spicy ketchup mixed with curry powder. It should have way, way more sauce.
Indeed, the amount of sauce on that sausage was pitiful. It should be drowning in the stuff, lol!
It looks like the french "interpretation" of a Currywurst... Seriously, this is not just an insult to us Germans, this is causing bodily harm! :D :D :D
In Germany we say: "Eine Bratwurst darf keine Bockwurst sein"
Na Mensch Meier!
dude you are on a ferry in Pacific, what do you expect?
Once again, your ability to identify individual ferries *from a distance* is incredible, almost to the point of absurdity, if it were not for the amount of ferry content on this channel. Japan really is a public transit fan wonderland.
I love the different methods of travelling round Japan, each give a unique experience. Your videos have made me look at travel a different way, before it was getting to the destination as soon as possible, now it's about enjoying the travel as well.
16:13 It's a Japanese approach to the original Berlin curry sausage (Berliner Currywurst) which is often served without the colon. Double the portion size and add five times of the sauce and you're good to go.
And a nice triangle of that rather rough bread to soak up the rest of the sauce! Where I was stationed in Germany, the local Schnelle kiosks always put a slice of that bread on the side.
In the United States we have a passanger train system called Amtrak that operates slow-speed (80MPH and slower) trains that go across the country. I used to have a lot of fun trying to make 7-day trips across several routes. Budget land cruises for my college days. You've made a similar budget cruise using the ferry system there. Bravo.
It seems that Solo san is thinking of fun challenges to do as part of his video. Crossing the country by Shinkansen... bus... ferry... Another challenge might be to eat your way through every prefecture in the country!
Two things: As a native Chicagoan, that's not Chicago-style pizza. I don't know what it is, but I know what it's not. Two, that bath towel looks ridiculously small. How are you supposed to dry yourself off with something that looks about the size of one of my kitchen towels? LOL. I can't wait for the rest of your adventure!
I was thinking the same thing about the towel! I am hoping it’s the washcloth and drying towels are provided. I really hope. I would be in some serious trouble. My hair would soak it.
It looks like a taco salad bowl
I like small towels. When I dry off my car after a car wash its a hand towel! So, small seems fine.
That towel washes first, then,after you clean it in the washing station, you bring it into the bath with you to use as a "shyness" towel. Then you come out of the bath, wash again, ring the heck out of the towel when needed. I'm a large, hairy Italian/American, and I can do it. Japanese aren't afraid of water, it's plentiful there. I've been to Japan scores of times on business. My favorite way to relax is in a natural mountainside onsen (hot spring). The stink of sulphur is easily gotten over and the minerals seeping into your pours is quite healthy.
It's always a good evening when Solo Travel posts.
You should consider a small tour group where people can travel with you.
This is pure therapy. For people with stressful lives, doctors should prescribe a video or two instead of pills. Much kudos. 👏
Wow! You must REALLY Love Curry! 10 hours boat ride, shuttle bus and then train just to go eat Curry Chicken. Looks Yummy!🥢🥗🍚
Ahhh this is a great idea, $1000 USD is a very good budget for a 7-day trip in Japan, even if most of it is spent on ferries haha. I'm looking forward to seeing all the delicious ferry food!
Your videos always have so much personality, while still managing to be incredibly tranquil. Can't wait to see more.
Oh man, this is a legit adventure. I’d love to be able to do something like this. There’s something peaceful about traveling in still solitude to me.
My thoughts exactly Phil! and the food alone is worth the trip! (Almost Heros, Chris Farley & Matthew Perry, great movie)
I visited Kyoto some years ago. This video reminded that Japan is very clean and orderly. I wish we could adopt some of the Japanese ethic.
Yummy we got to eat Chicken Curry. I am excited for the rest of our trip. Thanks for the invites. Be safe and God Bless.
I love your video journeys. I traveled a lot when I was younger, but now my age and health prevents me and so you give me a chance to see things I will never see. I don't want to see fancy resorts, I just want to see what you show......how ordinary people travel. 💗
Thank you so much for these videos. They are perfect to watch in the evening, when you want to unwind and get ready for sleep.
I agree! It's my favorite ❤
I’m so jealous of your public transportation in Japan!
Wow, this trip took a lot of planning and thank you for sharing. For you to spend your week vacation to film so many things and your personal way of filming really makes me appreciate you even more. Looking forward to Part 2 to continue the adventure.
Ui! Come to Berlin and Taste the REAL Berlin Curry- Sausage! Its legendary! The specialty is the Sausage and, of course, the sauce. 👍
I love ferry travel around Japan. I bike tour around and find ferries are the easiest way to get around. If you take a train, I have to take my bike apart and put in a bag. With a ferry, I just bring it on board. And, riding from a coastal port town into inland is very beautiful too. I also enjoy the food on the ferries too: very tasty.
OH Yeah! Right off the start I know I am going to love this Adventure! I will have to follow up comments later, right now, it is Showtime! Thanks for posting an adventure to share! Food to boot!
Follow up comments: @29:30, Damn! Sizzling lunch! I am drooling. The Egg Yolk was STUNNING! I want to join you!
Yes, the Berlin Curry is called Currywurst and is almost exclusive to the city of Berlin. It was a British soldier, after the second world War who introduced the special Curry sauce to the German Bratwurst sausage and the Pom Frits - French Fries to make this unique dish. Before that, it was just a Bratwurst dish. Love that sizzling hot dish at the end. The egg, I thought, is unique. Great video blog.
The meal in the video is a very sad looking currywurst, though. Like japanese-french version where the details got lost in translation.
Cannot wait for Episode #2. Thanks Solo Travel Japan For The Experience!
That curry at the end looked fantastic! What a great idea, a ferry journey around Japan, I am looking forward to the next installment.
Love love love your videos!!! All the way here in the USA in Kentucky 😊
I lived on the US Navy base in Yokosuka for 3 years. I really enjoyed my time in Japan.
1996-2006 for me. Dad was on the Kitty Hawk.
@@UltraMaXAtAXX I was there from 07-11
My cousin was stationed in Okinawa with the Air Force. My niece took Japanese as her foreign language in high school and I helped finance her trip to Japan in her senior year with her class. I know they spent time in Tokyo but don't remember where else they went. Despite my literally spending my entire childhood as an AF dependent we never left the continental US.
I don’t know why but I enjoy ur videos a lot. It’s relaxing to watch and ur subtitles can be very amusing. Good job!
I cannot afford to travel right now so I travel through your videos..I enjoy each and every adventure..each and every meal is good..I imagine myself there with friends and having a good time..thank you for this..it is a great escape during this time when inflation is through the roof here in America.
I enjoy very much watching your videos. They are giving me many ideas on where to go next time I visit Japan with my family (My wife is from the Okayama Prefecture and before the COVD -19 pandemia we used to travel with our 2 daughters to Japan every 2 to 4 years).
I’d like trip on a ferry that lasted a few days! The food looked amazing and that fried curry looked delicious and very hot! I’d have a hard time waiting for it to cool down! Thank you for sharing and sorry I’m late!
Hi Annette How are you today?🌹💋
Asahi Super Dry was my favorite beer to drink when I lived in Japan.
Thank you for your videos Solo san. I have your ferry playlist running almost all the time now. I can't travel much these days but watching your videos always make me feel as I'm there.
❤️❤️❤️ Im always looking forward to a new video from you. Thank you for always providing entertaining content. It makes me want to travel to Japan in the future. Fan from the Philippines ☺️
Wow! All that food looked great. That might have been the nicest croissant I've seen in my life. And the Penne Macaroni is worth a trip to Japan! You got the A-Team cooks this trip.
That was a fun trip to watch. Hotel room for the price? I could crash there seven days without the Ferry rides. That's not just view, but a amazing view! I've watched the sunrise more often than most people watch it set. I am a sucker for a amazing view. Be it top of a mountain camping, or higher up deep in a city.
My favourite Japanese beer (limited what you can get in the UK) is probably Hitachino Nest
Thank you for your videos. They helped nurse me through covid earlier this year. So much respect for Japan ❤
Loved this..so relaxing!! Love it when I can click and find your posts. Can't wait for the next episode.
It's an excellent video. You seem to have the skill to bring your audience with you. Those were excellent dishes. They look delicious. I totally understand a small breakfast during rough weather. Soup & bread looked great! I'm looking forward to your next video!
I am so excited for this extended series.
Thank you for making and sharing 🙏
Very nice, thank you for showing us around !
Oh my God I’m so glad I caught this right when it came on. You are seriously one of my best creators. One of my favorite creators. Your videos give me such a sense of calm. Thank you
Love your videos! Enjoy them immensely! Thanks for sharing them and please continue
Thanks so much for taking us along!
The Berlin sausage looks very familiar. They are often served at a street side stall with tall tables to stand and eat. They call it "Stehimbiss" that means literally "stand snack"
16:30 Probably due to the sauce, I think it's usually curry, that would make it currywurst which is a type of German sausage meal.
If it really wanted to imitate it, they should have used more sauce.
More sauce and extra curry powder on top of it
Holy crap! It the man from the Hypertonic Lion Tamer himself!
Came into existence right after WW2 and was brought/inspired by the Brits that helped occupy West Berlin post-war. Actually, pretty good stuff. Yes, it needs more sauce.
German street food, the sauce ingredients seem to be a source of some discussion. Very few people make currywurst at home, they prefer to buy it ready made locally. Found this in a blog article about the origin of the meal which may or may not be 100% true but it's a good story to share with you all anyway: "Legend has it that creator of currywurst was the savvy housewife, Herta Heuwer, from the Charlottenburg district of Berlin. In 1949, she apparently traded spirits for ketchup (some sources say Worcestershire sauce) and curry powder with British soldiers stationed there after the war. I’m guessing that she experimented with these ingredients and other spices until she found something she liked. The currywurst sauce is much more than just ketchup and curry powder. Either way, the resulting sauce was poured over grilled pork sausages. Ta-da! Currywurst was born." Edited to add that my mother was German but I grew up in England eating lots of German dishes at home.
Thank you for sharing with us .
Amazing! Waiting for the episode2. Love 🇧🇷
I've travelled to Japan every year since 2011 but haven't been back since 2020 🥲 this is a great idea! I've toyed with the idea of going around Japan via Shinkansen (thank you JR Pass) but I want to definitely try the sea-nic 😅 route too! Is there an equivalent of a JR Pass for ferries and cruises? Thank you! Subscriber here since your early YT days 💙
In Berlin, the most popular plate is curry wurts... German sausage with fries napped with curry sauce... Delicious!!!
Thanks for taking us on the trip. I get easily seasick so I probably wouldn't try this myself. But it's still fun to see a mini cruise.
Thanks for taking us along with you. I love your videos, so interesting and curious. Can't wait for your next uploads...
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
Another awesome and nostalgic feeling solo travel idea I get. I'm already so excited for Ep2!

The chicken grilled curry looks super delicious 😋
It's 11:30 pm here, and I could eat a bowl of that. YUM!
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Japan seems like such a neat place, and I think this is one of your best videos, I like that it's a multi day journey. Look forward to seeing more.. (I also like the peaceful quietness of your videos, no talking, love it.)
Thank you, Solo Traveler! I will follow your footstep some day... soon
Cant wait for the next one!
sublime interior.
I love your video travels!
Oh, now I'm excited.
I can’t wait for the next episode!
I'm working from home most of the time and I put your videos on background to listen to the ambient sounds as well as occasionally glance at it in between breaks. It really helps me focus on my tasks for some weird reason so thanks! I'm more productive haha. Also, I would like to travel japan and experience some ferry rides in the near future!!!
hope to try this holiday, I like it.
Another great vid.
Can’t wait for the next episode!
Peaceful and organised are the words that apply here mind you i drive a Lexus and i can use the same words. This was very enjoyable and put together. Well done and will want more.
Great upload. Thank you.
Man your videos are great and always make me hungry. I have to pause and make some noodles to watch. 😂
Loooove your vids, mate....keep 'em coming....!
I love your videos!
Your videos go by so fast. I could watch for hours. The food looked delicious. The beef stew made my mouth water. I have never had a Japanese Beer or Saki. I will look for some. This is going to be a wonderful trip. I wish I could accompany you. Thank-you for sharing. ✌😎❤🇺🇸🤘🎸🎶
