I'm traveling from Takeshiba to Hachijojima on the Tachibana Maru, operated by Tokai Kisen. I really wanted to try the local sushi on this remote Tokyo island.

'I ate, so bed time" -> "well, might as well check the restaurant menu, you know, for science" -> "well since I'm here and all, might as well try something" -> "I have made a horrible mistake"

Your videos bring me much joy.
Ten years ago, I began to plan my retirement and so wanted to travel to Japan. Even learned passable Japanese.
Sadly, three years later, I was diagnosed with a rare and debilitating disease which closed my circle of travel to where I can walk.
You show me what I missed.
Thanks.

As someone who enjoys cruising, if the ship got all the way to the destination port but had to turn around due to weather, I honestly wouldn't be upset. I cruise for the ships and the relaxed comfort of a nice voyage, rather than traveling anywhere specific. The last several cruises I've gone on, I never got off the boat once.

Me and my dad used to watch your videos together all the time, he passed away last year and this came up on my recommended today. Something in me just said to comment this.

The first thought when I saw the colours on the hull of the boat was

"Ba-na-naaaaa, Ba-na-naaaaa" to the tune of the Sunflower Ferry song

Has anyone traveled so far at such expense for supermarket sushi -- WITH the distinct possibility that he may not be able to disembark once getting there? And the really strange thing is that all seems to have been worth it.😀

I do not recall you ever regretting a meal before. Yet, you remained polite. I would enjoy the getaway even if the ship could not dock. The lights at night are beautiful.

Yesterday, I told myself 'It's been a while since STJ posted', so I checked and I was right. Thanks for posting a new video. I really like the quality of yrour videos, it gives me something to work towards.

The departure was beautiful. The shadows moving on the walls, the city lights in the dark, incredibly well-shot. Thank you!

The fact that ANA is using 737s for these flights surprised me, I expected smaller aircraft. But then I checked their fleet and realized that 737s are their smallest aircraft and I was surprised by that, too.

That sashimi looked so good, I really miss the easy access to fresh seafood in Japan.

The Tokyo Tower had so much charm when I went to see it. There are taller buildings but it remains iconic.

I can just imagine Solo Travel at work....

"So, what did you do this weekend"

"Oh, just went to the supermarket for some awesome sushi"
"Which market?"
"Hachijo"
"Wait, where?????!!!!"

Hah! I guessed correctly you used the icecream as an icepack before you said it. With that long walk and that weather, I was doubting how well the fish would stay, but you did a smart thing.

A most enjoyable video. Loved the views of Tokyo at night and the room was so tidy and clean. I've never come across buckwheat pillows before or frozen meal vending machines. The breakfast looked delicious. Thank you for uploading.
