It looks like fun to take sleeper ferry in Japan (video) [1]

['Mark Frauenfelder']

A YouTuber who goes by the catchy name "Travel Alone Idea" took a ferry from Kobe to Miyazaki on the southern island of Kyūshū. The 307-mile trip took 14 hours, and they stayed in a dormitory-style room. The ticket cost about $95. Here are some notes they made about the trip.

All the facilities were new and clean.

The ferry smelled like new construction.

I forgot to take a video, but there was a shop, so you can buy anything.

The buffet restaurant was good value for money. (About $15)

While the ferry was underway, I could see nothing but the horizon outside.

I forgot to use the $20 coupon.

The ferry seems like a cruise ship. It has a lovely Japanese-style public bath and a video arcade with claw machines.
