Japan and the Koreas are the most homogenous countries in the world. Racial politics can be complicated and nasty in these countries, where nationalism and ethnicity have at times gone hand in hand.

Agreed. A nice mini-retreat from the hectic pace of daily life. I really enjoyed the early-morning ferry dock footage. It’s soundtrack of gently lapping harbor waters is incredibly relaxing. 🌊

Actually, the 'jet engine' AC sounds kind of nice, depending on how noisy the ship is..sounds like it provides a lovely white noise if you were planning to sleep most of the time through the trip.

That's funny but I thought it too a new trip

Nice ferry--it has a 'utilitarian' feel, rather than a luxury, cruise ship feeling, and it seems smaller. Neat that there was a traditional, Japanese style lounge (mats, no chairs). I like it.

I am always so grateful to be able to experience somewhere else from where I am sitting now thru your videos. It's always delightful. Thanks so much for this.

If the ship is not busy I still don't understand them not moving you for free to a nicer cabin. If it's empty that would be great customer service. Thank you once again for taking us along on your journeys and taking the time to describe everything for us.

Love the videos, it would be cool to see you walking around Japan once you got off the ferry. Maybe that would be a cool second channel if you wanna keep this one just about travel :)

Your videos are masterpieces of silent, reflective solitude. I have always hated traveling precisely because it is inevitably dehumanizing - crowded, noisy, unclean, and harsh. I have no idea how you arrange it, but your trips seem like heaven by comparison.

Thank you for showcasing some of Japan’s more obscure ferry routes; they deserve more attention and love from tourists

You are always first class to us, Solo. Thanks again.

Here in the Phils, our ferries are usually 40+ years old ferries from Japan. There'd be slight refurbishments here and there, like attaching seats/benches or bunk beds, removing rooms and so on. A lot of the signage on doors would be in Japanese. I've even gone on one where the toilet was a squat toilet. There'd also be big square or rectangular shaped rust spots randomly on the hallway floors, and I used to wonder what could've stood there for a long time that was that big. Probably the vending machines. A lot of these ferries smell really musty, especially the ones with old carpets, or smelled like cigarette smoke. It's different from company to company, a few care more than the others. Thanks to your channel, I could see what our ferries used to look like before. This one though, is the closest to the ones we have here. The other videos look too fancy 😆

Retro vessel for sure, however, it was clean. You are anonymously handsome. Enjoyed this voyage as always. Thank you.

Very relaxing voyage! Even though the ship didn't have many amenities it was quiet, clean, and got you to your destination without delay. That's a win in my book. Excited about your food channel! Hopefully one will be about curry around the country! 😊

I always enjoy your videos. Very interesting and relaxing.

Well done for getting a full video with interesting content from a deserted ferry with next to no facilities aboard!. The curry drink choice was brave btw!.

Hello? It’s a very beautiful ferry. Nice and relaxing tour. Enjoyed beautiful evening view, so peaceful and nice. Thank you 😊 Have a great day 👏🏻👍🏻

When you say you look handsome, I'm afraid we'll have to take your word for it😃

"It tastes like 'You made curry but put too much water'"...that cracked me up.

Another relaxing trip. Thank you. I've walked that tunnel under the Kanmon Strait, from Kyushu to Honshu (elevator lift at both ends feels like 'how deep is this') then stayed in a hostel overlooking the strait. Back then the bridge seemed more lit up at night, with so many ships passing through. Took the small day ferry from Hiroshima-Kure-Matsuyama, but the large overnight ferries look like a relaxing trip and bed for the night.

お疲れ様です♪ Something abt being on an empty ship feels so relaxing. But i can never do it alone, so thank you for bringing us on this trip! 🥰

I prefer grapefruit chuhai, lemon is a bit to sour. I remember buying the grapefruit chuhai from a vending machine thinking it was lemonade. My friends like "you know that is alcohol?". I'm like "what?.. I got it from a vending machine".

"My buttocks confirmed it." And this is why I keep coming back. Your videos are great!

No .. I just look handsome... Your subtitles are so adorable making me smile each time

Ah, Matsuyama. That was one of the destinations I had planned to go as a tourist back in July 2020, before the borders slammed shut. I was planning on the non-forgotten ferry though; the regular high-speed ferry from Hiroshima. I probably won't get there this year... But I'll aim for 2023. Only three years late. But better late than never!

That was a lovely short trip! Thank you for bringing us along and for trying that curry soup in a can 🤢

Do I look suspicious? No, I just look handsome. Never change, Solo Traveler. Your captions just enhance the viewing experience! 😁

I enjoy your videos, thank you

I enjoy your videos very much. I would love to visit Japan after watching your videos.

I’ll be on an overnight ferry in two weeks time and I’ve been used to ferries all my life, well I’m not dead yet but you get my meaning 😇, so they’re not a novelty for me but a means of travel I have to use to access another part of our country, I know that there’s millions of people who have never used ferries to travel and your posts give people an insight into how ferries operate and the sleeping arrangements for everyone,s particular budget, great post

Wow, that ferry is almost as old as me and still going strong, very bright and clean, wish I could say the same, though I'm a little brighter after "Do I look suspicious?, No I just look handsome".

I struggle with anxiety and your videos are very healing to me.

THIS IS SOOOO LIMINAL.... there's a niche for this atmosphere!

I am literally obsessed with watching these ferry rides! I've never had the itch to travel outside the US but these are making me want to go to Japan JUST to take a few of these ferry trips!

Seeing these grand old vessels so empty feels sad and lonely. Thank you for another of your gently amusing videos.

I live my Japan fantasy through your videos. Thank you.

That ship felt very lonely... but Matsuyama seems like a cool place to visit.

Don't look too handsome as that will make you look suspicious! LOL Good videos, thank you for taking us along!

thank you😁, finally caught up on all your videos,, I retire in 2 years 🤔 hummm I wanna come to Japan and ride a ferry❤️

Woohoo, more Pocari Sweat! Such a quaint local ferry. Thanks for another great video!

A beautiful ship and so barely used. How sad for the ship and her crew. I wish for better days for all!!

This is great. I watch all your ferry videos but now know to seek out your food videos on your other channel. I’ve taken the Tokyo to Tokushima ferry and loved it. Cheaper than Bullet Train and includes a bed in shared accommodation. Like you, I was the only person in my room. When travel starts again I will try to do a ferry tour of Japan. Thanks to you I will contribute to the local economy while having a great adventure! Cheers!

Your cinematography and audio capture is well done. Very important when conveying an atmosphere

It looked like a relaxing travel, only a bit lonely! It's a good thing that your shared cabin was empty though, I guess you could sleep with the courtains opened and the bed didn't feel that small!

I love all your videos but these ferry videos are my favorite.

I think at this point I was unsurprised about the ship being so clean, even though it is older. I was, however, surprised that you are able to disembark until 7am; the 5am arrival had me concerned, because getting up that early to get off the ship would be hard. I was also amused that you wanted to get coffee so late, and ended up with a curry instead, those two tastes are so different!

Suspiciously handsome!! 😊

Thank you for sharing,and have a happy st valentine's Day love to all Japan and may God bless .💘🛳️🛳️🛳️

No dinner, no breakfast! What is this, you have to eat. Stay safe, stay healthy. 😎👍🏻

Good for ride with friends or big family!

As old as this ship is, it's wonderfully taken care of!
