- Watch this Japan Travel Guide to get a sense of this Japanese Ferry Travel! You'll see what it’s like to travel from Beppu to Osaka for 12 hours on Japan’s Newest Ferry, the Sunflower Kurenai!
Join us as we travel in the lap of luxury onboard a ferry that’s more like a cruise ship!!
This is only the third time we’ve made a video highlighting a ferry and it was the best yet! This Japanese ferry truly has it all!
We splurged for a Japanese Style room, complete Tatami Mats for sleeping. We also explored the Dinner Buffet and the Breakfast Buffet to experience delicious Japanese Ferry food!
That means you get to see it all! You’ll have to be the judge of whether it’s worth the price for you. We’ll even rate the whole thing using the JebScore to give you a sense for the Ferry Terminal at Beppu, the Ferry food, the (really cool) room we booked, the onboard entertainment, and even the service!

That face at 9:09 with the unknown food. Priceless and relatable! Looks like a fantastic cruise!
Been to Japan, had unknown food, made the same face!
it was prolly fried oyster lol
that would likely be fried konjac
Face, too funny.
That’s Satsumaage. Fried fish paste🐟very tasty 😊
Great, now I’m going to get the Sunflower song stuck in my head again.
Always enjoy seeing the Japanese travel vlogs about these ferries, interesting to see a western take on one.
Sometimes I find myself watching Japanese travel reviewers reviewing different trains and ferries
@SoloTravelJapan is my favorite!
@natecovertmallard4677 and these guys just HAD to take the Sunflower! 🌻 😩 😂 😂
@@elteescatAt least we didn’t have to listen to the sunflower song. 🤷🏼♂️🙉
I do it too
Solo Travel Japan is amazing, Abroad In Japan is incredible too
Love hearing you guys shoutout other travel RUclipsrs! Both of you, Paul Lucas, and Michael Downie are my favorite people to watch here!
Amazing video too!
I'm from Beppu, so I'm really happy that you introduced me to Sunflower☺️
Jeb: "a train to Osaka trashes 4hrs and eye gonna try it out for you."
Also Jeb: "there is a ferry to Osaka which takes 13hrs and were gonna try it out for you." 😂 you're the best Jeb
That is the nicest ferry I’ve ever seen. Not surprised it’s in Japan! Great work Jeb and Suzanne!❤️✈️🛳️
It really is! Thank you!!
@@GreenerGrass have they stopped playing the "sunflower song" over the public address system?? Feels odd not hearing it a 1000x times.
I’m from Osaka japan🇯🇵I love your channnel😊 9:09 that’s “Satsumaage” Fried fish cake. made from fish paste🐟sunflower Buffet is amazing. You can eat fresh sashimi. I recommend take the ferry from Osaka. The landscape is beautiful and sometime there are daytime cruise. 9times this year and very popular. You can see beautiful view from under the huge bridge🌉Kobe is also beautiful🌆single tiny room is very nice too. Everything new and clean✨
What a wonderful video! I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and rode many ferries, but never imagined there were ferries like that. It was beautiful and interesting. I’m so glad you took this trip and shared it with us. Thank you!
Yay!!! I'm so happy your filmed your Sunflower ferry experience! It's a bucket list dream of mine to visit Japan and travel by ferry. I watch alot of Japanese ferry RUclips videos; usually without English audio, so and it's surreal and wonderful to see you guys there. I love your channel Jeb! Kampai from Canada!
Having seen many a video about these cruise ships from Japanese RUclipsrs, I was curious to see how non-Japanese people see it. I had hoped to factor that into my own journey in April/May, but it just didn't work out. Maybe next time.
The Beppu-Osaka route is largely sheltered by the Seto Inland Sea, so it would be a lot calmer even in bad weather than the open seas, say going from Tokyo to Hokkaido which sails through the open Pacific Ocean.
Did you do any sightseeing in Beppu? I day-tripped there from Fukuoka, and visited the "Seven Hells" hot springs. There are a lot worse ways to spend a day in Japan, though it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Some of the seven hells have very impressive gardens built around them, and one even has crocodiles (lots of crocodiles). If you haven't seen them and find your way back to Beppu some day, I recommend checking them out.
Japan really has every type of transportation across the entire country. The two major airlines even used to fly 747’s domestically (as everyone probably knows). I wish they had them in service longer so Jeb could’ve reviewed it.
I love watching these types of videos, definitely the nicest looking ferries I’ve ever seen.
Great review as always Jeb! It’s very nice Suzanne reviews as well so you two get to travel the world together on all sorts of transportation.
It’s always a bit odd seeing the big widebody jets we normally associate with long international routes doing domestic flights in Japan.
What a fun way to travel. I love that you went with the tradiitional Japanese style room. Always great to get the full cultural experience!
This is great content Jeb, I’m loving the recent additions of cruises and ferry voyages. Would love to see more of these in the future!
It was great meeting you and Suzanne at Shin-Osaka station yesterday. Highlight of my trip!
You too!! Thanks for saying hello!!
I love it, Jeb. It’s remarkable to see the new addition of cruise and ferry content. Keep up the excellent content, Jeb!!
いらっしゃいませ！Welcome to my home country! Though I now live in the US, I appreciate it that someone visits my home country. Thank you & enjoy!
Another gem of a video. Also loved the Paul Lucas shoutout :) I watch you guys, Paul Lucas, and Noel Phillips. Also loved seeing you guys on Airline Videos Live. :)
This channel has become one of my favorites to watch. Theres something about Jebs Flanders personality that I find honest and likeable. Keep up the good work.
Great journey. I am catching up on all your travel videos. I love them all. Thank you both. And keep happy safe travelling 😁
I’m a big believer of “When in Rome …” I think you made the right choice in rooms and bed style.
You guys are blessed to be able to take a trip to Japan 😊
You definitely picked up that GS boutique limited edition gmt while in Japan! Congrats! 🍊🗻
As is expected, another fantastic mode of transportation! Weather it's trains, jets, ferry's, cruise ships......you two make everything exciting as it should be!!! And I really enjoy the respect and report you both display to each other!!! I watch your videos at night, lying in bed because your videos are calming! Keep it all up please......I was hesitant about watching a ship cruise and overnight ferry ride, but was so pleased to have done so! You two could go to NASA and make a moon trip lots of fun!!! 🤗🙋❤️
Great Video Guys! Thanks for sharing this adventure 😊 Keep up the great content!
Love watching y'all travel. Be safe ❤❤❤ This is so awesome.
Thank you for sharing! Love your vlogs.
What a unique travel experience! Always love that about the channel. Great room choice it looked fun. Keep up the great work 😊
I have had the same of traveling from Kyushu to Osaka. My idea was to slow down and a new way of traveling.
Thank you very much, Suzanne and Jeb, for sharing your experience video with us.
Have fun traveling in Japan!
楽しんでね〜！
Hello Jeb and Susan,the ferry is amazing, another wonderful video as always stay blessed
Yay! A new video to start my day on a great note!
Great video Jeb! You covered it all…
i really enjoy your videos, thank you!
You did a ferry! Fantastic!!!
I appreciate finally it's covered with voice in English as I never can stand with quiet video with subtitles. But I didn't expect it will be Jeb and Suzanne! Thank you!
Awesome. Thank you. Have an amazing day! Cheers.
Hell yeah, another jeb classic.
If I took this ferry, I'd definitely go for the Japanese room
Great video!
My favorite moment in the video was Jeb’s response to the question at breakfast, “Potatoes?” Looks like an amazing ferry experience, except for the entertainment.
First one. Great Video! Thank you both as always!
Sweet video, as always; Suzanne and Jeb...thank you, both!
There in another guy I watch that has done a bunch of the Japanese ferrys! They are on a whole different level.!
I was surprised to see Jeb hosting this presentation. I was expecting to see the other guy's video; actually couple of other guys posts. Nice to hear narration rather than subtitles!
lol yeah i was waiting for the subtitles@@harveyh3696
Great video as always, Jeb. Hope one day you can experience some GA flying!
Welcome Japan and my home town Osaka!😊
That ferry was more like a cruise ship!! The journey itself would have surpassed the expectations of the destination!! Thanks for the review!
wonderful content Jeb & Susanne, keep the good work up
Thank you for sharing this .
Great video. I've seen lots of these Japanese ferry videos and am always amazed by how empty they look. I'm interested in how you write your scripts. They are so crisp and all have this same great cadence. Do you outline what you want to cover, do it on the spot, or in post production. You both make it look so easy and seemless but the behind the scenes prep must be immense.
Good video! Loved the rooms..
Wow what an abreveated cruise!😀looked so comfy to me! Look Japanese decor and overall neatness! Thank you Jen and Suzanne for your channel! I really love it! I’m your neighbor to the north in Virginia! Have related in Greensboro! Can’t wait for next trip!!❤️
This is the sort of content I follow your channel for. I'd probably choose the more Western accommodation, but really enjoyed seeing the Japanese style cabin.
Great trip, finally the Japanese Ferry.
Love the Japan content!
One thing I like about your channel is, you try out things I never knew existed. Most I wouldn't try out. Just because they are just to over the top. But that is what is fun about this channel.😊
Fantastic video guys!!!😸
Fantastic video yet again.
I haven't had any fun lately, 😭 You bring me joy!❤🙂
My favorite ferry in Japan is "Taiheiyo ferry".
Their ferries go between Hokkaido to Sendai, Sendai to Nagoya.
Those price is reasonable and if you want to save money, you can choose really reasonable one( but you need to sleep with people on the floor...if you pay more you can choose good rooms too)
They have a concert or movie night, foods are good too.
When I was living in Sendai, I sometime go to Hokkaido by the ferry.
So great that you guys are doing Japan! We have watched some of the Japanese travel reviews for some time now, so nice to get a different point of view. And oh BTW, there are even travel videos that simply go hunting down vending machines. Gotta love it! 😀
I’m a simple man: I see a new Jeb Brooks video, I click on it, I watch it, I enjoy it.
Nice to see the change
I love this room.
I never really thought about visiting japan 🇯🇵 but I sometimes always find content from there interesting, would like to visit someday.
Awesome vid!
I always have to update my bucket list after watching your content. 😅
That was really cool.
I actually watch a tuber that takes the ferry's alot but y'all showed so much more thank yall
Looks nice keep up the good content Jeb
I've watched many Japanese ferry videos, done by native Japanese youtubers. You went to bed a LOT earlier than they do. lol. Their videos average a half an hour long because they document EVERYTHING. Also, no, that wasn't a potato. It was a fish cake. (Thank you for English subtitles on those Japanese videos.) Glad you enjoyed your trip though.
! Looks amazing!!
It looks lovely. Hope the beer was good. Your food looked tasty and your room was beautiful. That’s not a bad price!
When I Japan, Google Translate was so useful to check food and encourage trying different dishes.
Love the big round windows.
The next time I visit Japan, I have to do this Ferry trip, looks amazing.
Very nice Video! Thank you!
love the grand seiko @jeb brooks!
Oh how fun! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. :-)
Looks a bucket list for a trip when out that way
That was a very unique content Jeb. Loved it and great job once again.
You could say it was a Great Jeb! OK you can groan 😩 now. 😂
Dear JEB, thanks for this great video
I never imagined Jeb in Beppu!
Wow this is different i enjoy the new video 😊
Crazy how you find such unique transportation modes.
Loved the video. I live in Osaka but have never gotten around to taking it to Kyushu...Now I should give it a go.
DARN! Now that's impressive.
Nice watching it now with a coffee happy holy Sunday guys !!! Love ya both x
I was in Japan in 2018
Amazing!
Glad to see you in my part of the world! I’m in Shizuoka!
Pocari Sweat is a must for me whenever I go to Japan.
I'm so glad that usa cruise ship has bed on the cruise 😊
Great vlog Jeb
Great vlog as always! Due to my Cerebral Palsy anything below the knees above the chest is a no go for me. I am stiff as a board. Keep up the good work! Be safe!
This looks neat! I've been wanting to go to Beppu at some point and unfortunately had to cut it out of the itinerary for my last Japan trip so maybe I'll try this next time.
A few years ago I took a ferry from Tokyo to Hokkaido, from I think the same line, and it was wonderful. A mini cruise. It makes me sad that there aren't the same thing here in the States (other than Alaska).
::edit:: I just watched the video Paul Lucas and realized I'm two types of Travellers in me. One, for business, I want the fastest and most efficient, but if I'm just traveling I want the slowest.
Washington, Hawaii, NY, NJ, MI, WI, some other NEC region states, all have some decent public ferries. WA is the best in the 48.
The way it opened up into that main room from the entry foyer reminded me of that episode of Futurama when Fry discovered that the closet in Bender’s apartment was actually a massive apartment.
Love the Larry David line you snuck in there!
Beppu is one of the best hot springs across Japan. They have lots of the springs coming up from the hot water reservoir with the health benefits under the ground.. I wish you could enjoy your lots of your times.
So cool! We were supposed to take the Seto Sunrise overnight train in a private cabin from Osaka to Tokyo in July and then head to Hakone for a ryokan with a private outdoor onsen with a view of Fuji. Unfortunately, I ended up being hospitalized in Osaka for acute renal failure. Very cool to see you got a hybrid ryokan/onsen experience on the ferry!
Super nice for a ferry
