    $282 seems like a great price, for a nice room, 2 nights accommodations, 5 meals and transportation to Hokkaido. The room looks cozy, and has everything I would want, specifically a private bathroom and a window. The Royal Suite is much nicer, but that's why it's more expensive. I'd love to visit Japan, if nothing more than to take one of these ferry trips!

    In the winter of 1983 I was a sailor aboard the USS Enterprise when we sailed across the Tsugaru Straits. I was off watch then and went up to look along one of the walkways along the side of the ship. I was there for a long time. Something was very mesmerizing about it. The way the waves randomly crashed into one another and yet there was a certain rhythm to the randomness. The sea felt very electrifying, very alive. I was aboard the Enterprise for four years and did three deployments on that ship, traveling all over the world. During that time I remember only two areas where the seas were so unique. One was north of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean where the sea was as still as glass. And the other area was the Tsugaru Straits. Thank you for showing that. It brought back good memories.

    That style of couch you had in your cabin is sometimes called a "day bed" in America, and it usually serves a triple purpose. You can use it as a couch, you can use it as a bed for a nap in the mid day, or it can be a guest bed if you have company over.

    The restaurant must be mounted on top of the engines for your tofu to be so scared. The ship was nice and though you may not have been very impressed with the suite, it was much better than many hotel rooms that tourists pay a lot more for. And that forward facing window was really good too. Thank you for the video. One day I really must try Japanese food, preferably in a restaurant that's not shaking.

    I looked at both videos on your suggestion and i think the other suite is more suitable for travelling in comfort. I liked the layout better, and even though you got a daybed in the deal it was of no practical use to the suite. It would have made room for a better dining table with at least 2 chairs for you to enjoy whomever you were travelling with. It was a useless waste of space. I liked the bathroom layout, similar to the other suite, but for my money i would book the other suite in the future for any trip i might take. Great video for us to enjoy the experience with you - thaniks

    A large sofa, such as you had in your semi-suite, is called a "divan." I think having the toilet and bathtub in their own separate rooms is a good idea for privacy, if there are more than one person in the room. Having a hard mattress is not pleasant. But I still would prefer this semi-suite cabin to a capsule.

    Went back I saw the Ishikara video. The couch is weird on the Kiso and so is the one chair. The couch on the Kiso seems to be more for sleeping than sitting on. The Ishikara had the same weird windows, but the drapes hid this. And the bathroom was so much nicer. It definitely shows as newer than the Kiso.
    So get the Ishikara if possible from now on. Preferably without a Typhon.
    Happy travels.
