日本～韓国～ロシアを結ぶフェリーに乗船！境港→東海
The only ferry connecting Japan, South Korea, and Russia. I traveled on this ship from Sakaiminato, Japan, to Donghae, Korea. It is a little-known ferry route. Hello! This train carries Japanese yokai. The train has arrived at Sakaiminato Station. Yokai are monsters from Japanese folklore. Yokai are more beloved in Japan than feared. It was manga artist Shigeru Mizuki who made yokai famous. Sakaiminato is the town where Shigeru Mizuki grew up. Before boarding the ferry, let’s take a stroll around the station area. Shigeru Mizuki’s most famous work is “GeGeGe no Kitaro.” Next to the station is the ferry terminal for the Oki Islands. “Don’t tell a yōkai your locker number.” The ferry terminal for Korea is located elsewhere. There is one ferry round trip per day to the Oki Islands. The ferry terminal features numerous exhibits and explanations about yokai. Shigeru Mizuki and the characters from his works. These bronze statues capture their personalities well. A huge mural is painted on the ferry terminal building. Beneath this mural is a sushi restaurant. Sakaiminato is also the largest fishing port in this region. The largest street in Sakaiminato is Mizuki Shigeru Road. Along this street, numerous bronze statues of his works are lined up. There isn’t a single Japanese person who doesn’t know these yokai. Shigeru Mizuki is the pride of Sakaiminato. Then let’s take the free shuttle bus from the station. Let’s look at the ferry route. The ship departs Sakaiminato at 6:00 p.m. Arriving at Donghae, South Korea, at 9:00 a.m. The ship will subsequently operate a round-trip route to Vladivostok, Russia. This ship is an international ferry operating between Japan, South Korea, and Russia. This ferry terminal has no shops or ticket counters. Before boarding the ship, you will receive your reserved ticket. Boarding the ship began at 5:30 p.m. After completing departure procedures, you will board the ship. Many children are saying goodbye outside the fence. They are seeing off the Korean youth soccer team returning home. This is the ship for this voyage. Built in 1993, length 140 meters. “Eastern Dream” This ship operated between Kagoshima and Naha as the “Queen Coral” until 2008. It was subsequently sold to a South Korean ferry company. And it has been operating on this route since 2024. I like boarding ships directly from the wharf. After climbing the stairs, you’ll be on the first floor of the ship. The passenger area spans the first through third floors of the ship. My cabin is on the first floor, but let’s see it later. The second floor has the information desk, shops, and restaurant. The external deck is accessible from the second and third floors. Since we’re about to depart, head to the external deck first. Proceed down the passage toward the stern to reach the external deck. This is a spacious external deck. It certainly looks like you could play basketball here. Climb the stairs to the 4th floor. It started raining. Let’s go back to the third floor and head to the stern. This ship used to sail between Kagoshima and Naha. It shares many similarities with ships currently navigating that route. This is the “Naminoue,” currently operating between Kagoshima and Naha. The two ships have very similar lobbies and external decks. Let’s head down to the second floor from here. This area feels rather cluttered. Although there are no signs posted, the first floor is probably off-limits. I’ve returned to the third floor again. You can also descend to the second floor from this central staircase. It is past the scheduled departure time of 6:00 p.m. The rain began to fall heavily. The ship departed 30 minutes later than scheduled. Staff members, thank you for your hard work in the rain. Normally, this ship departs from another terminal. It is located approximately 3 kilometers south of here. That terminal is being used by a cruise ship today. The rope work at the bow has been completed. The second-floor external deck is covered. However, the floor and stairs are flooded. The ship will navigate the Sakai Channel for a while. The Sakai Channel is 8 km long. It’s the waterway between Shimane Prefecture and Tottori Prefecture. The view from that hotel must be absolutely spectacular. The warning signs are in four languages: Japanese, English, Korean, and Russian. Sakaiminato is a natural deep-water port. The Sakai Channel extends to this lighthouse. The ship proceeds into the Sea of Japan. Due to the delayed departure, it’s already past 7 p.m. The second-floor restaurant closed at 7:00 p.m. I wanted to try the dinner buffet for 15 USD… But they said they could serve a la carte dishes! I ordered the tonkatsu set meal for 12 USD. I thanked the restaurant staff. Next, let’s head down to the first-floor cabin. I reserved a “Second Class” for 170 USD. It’s a large room with bunk beds, capacity for 8 people What! This large room was completely empty except for me With an interior lock, I could practically use it as a private room. It’s probably intended as a private room for groups. Of course, I can only use one bed. Pillow, blanket, sheets, and mattress. I set up the sheets and closed the curtains. Only the airflow volume can be adjusted on the air conditioner. The outlet is Korea’s Type C. It converts Japan’s 100V to Korea’s 200V. The Sea of Japan is prone to rough seas, so seasickness medication is essential. Now, let’s tour the ship starting from the first floor. Thera are informations on the paid onboard Wi-Fi and the bar on the second floor. The restrooms show their age but are clean. Unfortunately, there are no bidets. There are separate shower rooms apart from the grand bath. These appear to have been renovated. Tottori Prefecture specialty products are displayed in the 2nd floor lobby. A shop operates next to it. You can buy frozen food and heat it in the microwave. The shop’s exchange rate is roughly 1 USD = 1000 won! Japanese yen is not accepted, but credit cards are accepted. Note that currency exchange is not available onboard. The duty-free shop is open. Alcohol is expensive, but cigarettes are cheap. This is a standard second-class cabin. There are no power outlets at each bed. Shared power outlets are located in the 3rd floor lobby. Vending machines sell beer in Japanese yen and soft drinks in Korean won. The grand bath has no hot water in the tub. It’s essentially just a shower room. The ship is currently sailing northwest across the Sea of Japan at night. To get to the bar, you need to go through the external deck on the second floor. It’s open from 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Light meals range from 4 to 15 USD. Oden and Chamisul for 10 USD. They must have converted the staff facilities into the bar. The shop and information desk have already closed for the day. Breakfast is served from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. Good night… The Sea of Japan before dawn. Thick clouds on the horizon. The full moon is about to set in the western sky. Still no land in sight. Is that a cargo ship bound for Russia? The morning sun rises above the thick clouds. The sun slowly ascends. The Sea of Japan on a summer morning. It was a beautiful sunrise over the beautiful sea. I’m still sleepy, so I’ll head back to the cabin and get some more rest… Illustrations dotted the interior of the ship. I could sense a playful spirit and artistic sensibility. I made it in time for breakfast. The price is 8 USD. Side dishes are buffet-style. Land is coming into view. The crew members handle many tasks onboard. The South Korean flag is fluttering. About one hour left until Donghae. The Sea of Japan is often calm in summer. Donghae is a port town facing the Sea of Japan. The population is approximately 88,000. That boat delivered the quarantine officer to this ship. This ship enters Donghae Port. There is a route to Ulleungdo from neighboring Mokho Port. Donghae is a sister city with Tsuruga, Japan. Both are port towns facing the Sea of Japan. Donghae is known for its many spectacular ocean views. It also has a thriving mining and industrial sector. With many beaches, it attracts numerous tourists in summer. That sailor is the staff member who assisted me at the restaurant! On board, a limited crew handles multiple roles. The line-launching gun is also on standby. The tugboat wasn’t needed. Fire the line at the wharf! Pull the line at the wharf and the ship feeds out the rope. The rope looks like a giant sea serpent. Water droplets spray from the taut rope. Then they drop the second line. He is giving instructions from the platform to the wharf and the ship. The ship arrived at 9:20 a.m., 20 minutes late. This is the Donghae Port Ferry Terminal. Lowering the disembarkation stairs to the wharf. Let’s disembark now. There are five ferry routes between Japan and Korea. The ports in Japan are Osaka, Shimonoseki, Fukuoka, Tsushima, and Sakaiminato. Sakaiminato to Donghae operates once a week. It’s the least-used route. This voyage was a valuable experience for me. Immigration took about 30 minutes. The ship departs for Vladivostok tomorrow. There is a taxi stand in front of the ferry terminal. There’s also a bus stop nearby. I’ll stroll over to Donghae Station. Is this colorful building an elementary school? A provincial city in Korea on a summer day. Several scenes left a lasting impression. This Kalguksu restaurant has been in business since the 1970s. This kalguksu costs 8 USD. I have arrived at Donghae Station. It is a historic station building. There is a small shop in the station waiting area. I’m heading to Seoul now. It’s about two hours from here by KTX. One journey ends, another begins. Thank you for watching! CAPSULE JAPAN updates every other Friday. See you in the next video!

Beautiful ❤
전쟁으로 단항된줄 알았는데 아직 유지중이었네요. 좋은 리뷰 감사합니다.
나도 배로 여행하고싶다
와…16:38 히비키 마셀도 아니고 일반 하모니를 면세점에서 24만에 판다고???날강도네 진짜…
내가 7월에 나고야에서 마셀 17만주고 사왔구만 ㅡㅡ;….
바가지 적당히 씌웁시다….내가 다 부끄럽다
강원도 동해에 방문하셨군요 즐거운시간이되셨나요?? 강원도는 관광지가 정말 많이있어요😆 27:06 이곳은 초등학교가 맞습니다 한국에 오셨으니 즐거운시간되시길 바랍니다 항상감사합니다😸
너무 부실하게 운영하네요. 식당도 부실, 욕탕도 부실… 갑판이나 페인트 상태도 부실하고… 선사 운영 정부 보조금은 받아먹으면 어디다 쓰는건지…ㅋㅋ 그리고 빗물 배출 시설은 선박 규정상 실외로 바로 배출시키거나 펌프배관 연결시켜야 할텐데…. 콤사 이새끼들은 선박 승인을 어떻게 내준건지…? 경사도도 제대로 안나와서 빗물 배출하는 것도 전부다 아래로 내려가는 것도 아니고 일부만 내려가고 절반은 다시 고인물로 되고 있는데…. 하여간 한국선급하고 콤사 이새끼들은 세월호때만 반짝 정신차린척하고 다시 부실 운영한다.
항상 잘 보고 있습니다, 좋은 영상 감사해요~
これは知りませんでした😮
동해-사카이미나토는 코로나 이전에는 저렴한 요금 덕에 그럭저럭 탑승객이 있는 항로였다고 기억하는데 코로나 이후 경영악화 때문인지 표값이 말도 안 되게 올랐더라구요. 이래서야 인천-요나고 비행기와 어떻게 경쟁할 생각인지…
これはカーフェリーですか？それならロシアへマイカーで行けるのかな🤔
2022年2月開戦から3年半も続くウクライナ侵攻によりウラジオストク港へ入る場合は戦争割増料金が必要となる。(日本は80年間に渡って戦争していないため境港～東海港間は戦争割増料金はなく、旅客船は経済制裁の措置外である)
ウクライナ軍の攻撃によりロシア国内の石油精製施設とパイプライン、貯蔵施設が破壊されたことで極東方面と占領地域ではガソリン不足に陥っている。
Thank you for showing us a less traveled route, my japanese friend😘 I hope the ferry was resonably comfortable despite its age, excluding the empty bathtub😪 Thanks for the breathtaking and colourful sunrise🤩😍🥰
境港の国際ターミナルは映像にある昭和町から竹内南1号岸壁へ移転しました。
鳥取からですか！？初めて知りました😮
今までにはない船の雰囲気を感じました。船でのお食事はどうでしたか?ベッドの寝心地はよかったですか？
ロシアへ行く船旅の続きがあったらうれしいなぁ😊
汚いぼかし入れないでせっかくの動画が台無しです
感謝分享這相當罕為人知,一週只有一班的渡輪,坐慣了日本渡輪,看到這韓國船公司經營的渡輪,那船上的軟硬體設備還真不習慣~船上的餐點,大浴場沒泡湯,寢台床位沒插座可供充電,就算我身在台灣,和台灣的渡輪相比,我也還是喜歡搭日本的渡輪啊!
所以在這艘船上只能用韓語和英文溝通而已是嗎?
期待你下集前往俄羅斯的影片喔!
A very over priced trip by the look of it! But hopefully you had fun and enjoyed the journey…..❤
Hallo und vielen Dank für die tollen Impressionen .Wie immer war ich schon in Vorfreude auf Ihr Video. Habe natürlich auch nachgeforscht, wo Sie starten und wo es hingeht. Ich fand es dieses Mal schon etwas anders als sonst und war natürlich auch wie gespannt und ich wurde auch wie immer bei Ihnen fündig. Schade eigentlich, daß Sie nicht bis Wladiwostok weiter gefahren sind. Aber daß hat sicher seine Gründe. Dann sind wir alle gespannt auf ein Video aus Seoul. Nette Grüße, verbunden mit einem Wink aus der Ferne.
another interesting trip
Honestly, this is the first one of these Japanese ferry videos that had the charm of a Greyhound bus between Terra Haute, Indiana and Cleveland, Ohio. That said, Sakaiminato and Donghae both look like nice places to visit.
Мне кажется это было не очень хорошее путешествие, плохая погода и постоянные опоздания. Ценны на пароме завышены, надеюсь вы не разорились) ахахах
Great and interesting sharing. Thanks. 👍👍👍😍😍😍
Fajne. Na początku myślałam, że do Rosji płyniesz. Taką podróż chętnie też bym obejrzała.
Pozdrawiam z Polski 🇵🇱.
境港東海いつか行くんじゃないかと思っていたのですが,ついに行かれたんですね 水木しげるロード来年は必ず訪問したいですね🚢
Ого… Русские слова на корабле
Another good video. The ferry is a tired rust bucket whose days are probably numbered, but she still does the job. Both port cities look interesting, and Donghae is a relatively short 2-hr train ride to Seoul. 👍🏿
This has been an eye-opening experience for me, especially since this route is the least-used of all the cross country options. What a delight!
This was an amazing video! Thank you for a very different ferry travel option. Is there going to be a return to Japan on the Duwon video? Such a fascinating route!
Compared to Japanese ferry, it seems this ferry operated now by Koreans is not so well-maintained.
自分も先月、この航路を乗船しました。自分が乗船したときは境夢みなとターミナルから出航でした。ターミナルまでのアクセス方法を調べたけど分からなくてJR境線高松町駅からオンデマンド交通で向かいました。ターミナルでアクセス方法を聞いたところ、動画のように境港駅からアクセスできる、とのことでした。境夢みなとターミナルには自動両替機がありました。自分はファーストクラスに乗船したのですが、自分も貸切になりました。貸切になると快適さが全然違います。夕食は自分の時はセットメニューだけで、ビビンバを頼みました。到着は遅れずに定時に到着。東海駅には自分は小道を通って行きました。東海駅からは釜山近くの釜田駅にITXマウム号で向かいましたが、一旦、江陵駅まで北上してから釜田駅まで向かいました。動画のように遅れてさらにイミグレに時間がかかったら江陵行きには間に合わなかったと思います。
砂かけばばあ列車と子泣き爺列車は渋くてかわいいですね。境水道を通るところ、わくわくしました。階段が滝と化していたのは衝撃でした。でも、雨が降ればそうなるのが普通なのだなと思い直しました。東海の町、なんか良い感じですね。フェリーの彫刻とデザインされた絵が素敵でした。お部屋は安心な状態だったんですね。
ロシアへの航路も楽しみにしています。日の出の眺めが、韓国だとお酒のCMに出てきそうな、水墨画みたいな風情で、旅情を感じました。
드디어 탑승하셨군요!! 저도 한번도 타본적이 없던 배라서 후기가 정말 궁금했습니다 이번편도 재미있게 보겠습니다 🙂
I always appreciate how you start your trips with some history of the places. This ship is a little older but it seemed like it was well equipped. You pretty much had a private room. Sometimes little known trips are pretty enjoyable. The sunset and sunrise were great even after all the rain. Looking forward to the beginning of your next adventure. 🐺
Curious to know where you are heading next after reaching Seoul. Many thx for your video.
Were there bigger suites on the ferry? I would not go to Russia. Greetings from Canada.
Very interesting and unusual route!
The crewmen are filipinos especially those who fired the rope to the pier.
しかしながらあの船は「元クイーンコーラル」とあり、比較にフェリー波之上を出していましたが、クイーンコーラルはマリックスラインで、波之上はマルエーフェリーですね。しかしながら、乗り降りにはしごを使っていたことは、その名残を感じます…!
Как вы думаете, что делает путешествие на таком необычном пароме между Японией, Кореей и Россией таким уникальным?
변함없이 놀랍고 훌륭한 여행입니다. 저런 선박이 있는 줄 몰랐네요!!★
週一便なので使いづらいですね。
ウラジオストク行きにロマンを感じます。
その先にシベリア鉄道でモスクワやヨーロッパがあり
昔ながらの旅ができそうです。
東海も海が近く、地方都市観光にはいいなって思いました。
What a great trip. Yeah, definitely few people know about this ferry route is exist, because on Japan – South Korean route, it's only connecting cities with population less than 100.000, unlike other Japan – South Korea ferry route which connecting two big cities or connecting big cities into tourism city like Tsushima. Even though the ferry isn't brand new, but since the ship previously running on Okinawa route, it's already tested for handling the rough sea like Sea of Japan. It maybe disappointed to see you need Korean plug for charging, need to exchange from Yen to Won (unless you have CC), but since it's operating by South Korean Company and not running daily, well okay. Really high appreciation for the sailor who giving you a chance to having a dinner despite the restaurant already on closed hour. Wait, is that real this ship sailing to Vladivostok in current time? This is a good news for someone who want to making a overland or doing trip report without flying. I hope it can be applied on Hokkaido – Sakhalin route.
ロシア行くなよおー死ぬぞオー❗
この様な航路がある事を初めて知りました。韓国とロシアに航路が存在するのは日本の知った事ではありませんがロシアのウクライナ侵略戦争時は明らかに航路を閉鎖すべきです。公明党はウクライナ侵略戦争時明らかに不都合な航路に許可を出しており国土交通省は歴代公明党が担っていますので明らかにおかしいです。
마침내 여길 다녀가셨네요
우크라이나와 러시아 사이의 전쟁 문제로 러시아행 표를 구입할 때는 추가 금액이 요구되는 상황이죠
한국에선 일본 라이딩을 위한 자전거 여행객들이 타기도 하고 마츠에, 요나고, 돗토리 여행의 루트 중 하나 이기도 하지요
물론 지금은 요나고를 통한 비행기 노선이 생겼습니다만 페리를 통한 여행은 그 나름의 멋이 있으니까요
대욕장은 동해를 바라보며 휴식이라는 광고를 본 적도 있는데 지금은 운영하지 않나보군요 아쉽네요
항상 잘 보고 있습니다 감사합니다
マットレスが云々と仰ってますがそれでもいつ観ても美しいベッドメイクですね〜映像も動く絵葉書みたいなので毎回楽しみにしております。いつもありがとうございます
ロシアに行く船🚢があるんですね🎉
凄い興味深いですロシアって
