33-Hour Japan Ferry Travel on the Rough Waters: Sea Journey to Hokkaido (Shin Nihonkai Ferry)
I’m taking the Shin Nihonkai Ferry from Tsuruga to Hokkaido (Tomakomai-higashi). This route tends to be very rough in winter.

These ferry's always seem quite empty.. How do these companies stay in business?
Beautiful ❤
🙂
Good luck surviving to those who watch the safety instruction video and don't speak Japanese 😅😅😅
Women's bath is on the other side
Absolutely fantastic, my friend! It’s always a joy to witness your incredible adventures. I hope that one day I’ll have the chance to embark on a journey like yours. Until then, I’ll be cheering you on from afar as you savor every moment. You truly deserve all the happiness. Much love and stay safe!
No gift shop to buy medicine? The old ideas I read about didnt work for me when I was on a rough Alaskan cruise years ago. Ate ginger, drank ginger ale, and even when I took the medicine, I tossed it up lol. All that helped was lying down in bed and try to sleep.
Great video as always! We may be travelling to Japan next year and I definitely want to have an overnight on a ferry.
Is the water in the suite pipes safe to put in the kettle and drink?

Ginger is wonderful for helping with sea sickness.
Oh, this is new. But no shop seems kind of bad, especially if it's rough seas.
Rough seas in Japan still better than a calm day in Kansas. 😉 Thank you for the video.
why only green tea … why are the cafe and restaurant closed for the winter schedule, where do you get real food?
Love this one – especially about the part of your curry and the rice not leaving a single grain behind. My mother used to make me do the same.
I'm one of those fortunate characters that has never suffered from travel sickness whatever mode of transport is involved. My eldest nephew however can't handle being on water, even if it's in a rowing boat on a relatively placid lake. My best friend is fine on everything except long distance coach trips. Just another one of life's mysteries how some people are ok but others suffer from specific motion sickness. Great video as usual.
Is it busy or during the summer?
Great video! I like how you include details like which ferries accept credit cards and which don't. Knowing ahead of time makes preparations easier.
Sweetie, please remember to buy seasick medicine on land before going on boats, even if the weather is nice, You should keep some at hand at all times just in case you might need it. We don't want you to suffer. Sometimes, if you try chewing on black licorice candy or sucking on peppermint hard candies, it will help a little to settle a sick stomach. I learned that from my Grandmother.
It was odd seeing a video from you starting with a daytime departure. I'm surprised a seasoned traveller as yourself would not have a ready-to-go kit which contained motion-sickness treatment. Relying on one's memory can be disadvantageous. Did you ever discover what the other Shin Nikonkai vessel was doing there?
PS. By my reckoning this is your 102nd ferry trip.
Keep rice crackers with you at all times on trips. You may forget medicine but not snacks 🙂
All these deluxe rooms on ferries in Japan are way larger than deluxe room on land.
16:01 as a long term viewer, i know you like curry, and i was totally sure you will choose it!
Do they sell the seasickness patches in Japan? If so, they are packaged small and flat, so it would be easy to stick a couple in your wallet so you always have them.
You can't go wrong with curry !! Glad you did not get seasick; nice trip in summer no doubt.
