もうすぐ見納め？日本一速いフェリーに乗船　新日本海フェリー　あかしあ(舞鶴～小樽)

Good eveningThis is Higashi-Maizuru Station, and it’s just 8pmI’m heading to Otaru on the Shin Nihonkai FerryThe convenience store at the station has lots of souvenirs, which is funThey had navy curry and other thingsHigashi -Maizuru is a naval port city, so I was surprised to see so many navy-related souvenirsI’m heading to the port now, so maybe I’ll be able to see some escort shipsI’ll walk to the Maizuru Ferry TerminalIs it close to Makkura Station? About 20 minutesIt’s still a while before the ship departs, so let’s take our time on the wayIt ‘s turned into an arcadeIt ‘s late, so it’s quiet, but I think this area is probably a downtown areaI can smell charcoal, so I wonder if there’s a yakiniku restaurant or somethingDon’t most downtown areas at night smell like yakiniku? 間と一緒に　おいしいお野菜とおいしいお酒を楽しみました。 English: I’m sure they’re grilling meat somewhere.As we talked, I started to get hungry.We walked a little further and reached the end of the arcade.It ‘s fine to go straight here too.It gets dark all of a sudden, which is a bit worrying.It’s dark and quiet.The surroundings seem to be residential areas.The port is nearby, so you can smell the sea.Of course, not many people walk to the ferry, so there are hardly any people on this street either.One reason is that there are not many pedestrians in general, but I’m sure it’s rare for people to walk from Higashi-Maizuru Station in the first place.Most pedestrians will use the direct bus from Osaka or Kobe , and I’m sure people from Maizuru will get a lift home.We can see a bridge.It ‘s fine to go straight here too.Yes , you should be able to basically get to the ferry terminal by following the road.There were people fishing.The land in front of us is reclaimed land, so we’re on the sea.We haven’t even walked for 10 minutes, but we’re already at sea.Looking more closely, we can see the ferry funnel in the distance.Today is a holiday, so it looks like it’s already docked.Is that our lodging for today? Probably so It ‘s that big even at this distance It’s pitch black This is the right road, right? There’s no other way to go, so there’s no mistake I wish there were at least street lights I can’t see where I’m standing There are road lights so it’s almost there, but this road seems like it would be full of bugs in the summer It’s getting a little brighter Looks like we’ve finally gotten out of the way All that’s left now is to rely on the funnel to head to the ferry terminal We’ve arrived The big lamps are closed, so I wonder if they’ve finished loading yet It looks like they’re just starting to load the vehicles There’s about 3 hours until we board For now , should we go to the waiting room? It looks like Wi-Fi is available. I’ll go outside for a bit, then I’ll wait inside. We’ve come close to the quay. The quay is barricaded so we can’t get too close, but the fence is low so we can see the ferry. If you look closely, you’ll see that the boarding bridge isn’t connected yet. Today is an off-day so we’re staying at the port, but since it’s usually still sailing time, it seems they’re loading the ferry accordingly. We’ve come a little further away. The lights are on in the wheelhouse too, giving it an off-peak atmosphere. The Akashia, which we’re about to board, is 224.8 meters long and is the largest car ferry in Japan. It can also travel at high speeds of over 30 knots to cover a long-distance route of over 1,000 km in a day, so it has the ability to travel at high speeds of over 30 knots. Since we’re here, we’ll take a look at the other side of the pier. There are a few people enjoying night fishing on the quay on this side, and it has the atmosphere of a quiet night sea. On the opposite shore is the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force base, and we can see the lights of escort ships. The crane-like facility looks like a shipyard, and we can enjoy the nighttime military port scenery. We still have a little time before boarding, so I’ll enjoy the night breeze for a while. Oh, I’m back. What a nice view. They say boarding will start soon . Oh, there’s a shop, isn’t there? I wonder if the selection would have been better at the station. You can only buy Shin Nihonkai Ferry limited goods here, but the variety of drinks was limited. They only sold water. I wonder if they have vending machines in the terminal, so you should buy them there. Usagi-chan said the ship is expensive, so I bought drinks at a convenience store, but it was a good idea. It’s time to start boarding. I’m already on the ship, but it doesn’t feel like a ship. You can see outside, so it feels like you’re walking along a connecting passage. It’s only a short distance to the entrance to the ship, but it makes me feel more excited.
Let’s go in. Oh , it’s pretty crowded. I get a key at the entrance and head to my room. This ship doesn’t have an electronic lock type door. Maybe they don’t think there’s a need for a new one because a new ship is scheduled to be launched in December of this year. By the way, what kind of room is it? This time I booked a State B Japanese-style room. It’s a Japanese-style room with a view. Let’s go in . It ‘s small. The size is just 3 tatami mats. The chairs and desk feel like a normal Japanese-style room, and you can’t lay out the futon until you put the desk away . Oh, the water heater is an electric kettle, not a kettle, so it feels a little dated . There’s a TV, and the room is a little small, but it has everything you need. There’s no toilet or shower, but there is a sink. And there’s a window for your enjoyment. Really? It looks like the place for a life raft . That’s a shame . For now, let’s put our luggage away and have some tea. I want to watch the departure from the deck, so I guess I’ll take a bath after that . There are three electrical outlets, which is a nice touch. By the way, there’s no refrigerator. It seems that this class doesn’t have one. This time, we’re in State B class, but the next class up, Deluxe A, has a toilet and refrigerator, but the price is quite high. So I think it would be better to spend that money on food and transportation. Let’s go to the deck now . It’s a quiet departure. We’re slowly moving away . Maybe it’s because there are few lights, but it feels like a late-night departure. Well, this ship is also leaving at 11:50 p.m., so It’s almost like a midnight flight. We’re scheduled to arrive in Otaru just before 9 p.m., so it feels like a more midnight flight than the late-night San Francisco flight. The ship also has a restaurant and a movie theater to kill time. The operating hours are long, but it’s good that it doesn’t seem like it will get boring. And it’s really quiet. When you move the side thrusters, you feel vibrations, but this ship doesn’t feel any vibrations at all. It seems to use a pod-type propulsion system, so I wonder if that has something to do with it. There are people waving from the quay, maybe they’re port staff. I’m off now. Maybe because we’re still in the port, we’re slowly moving away. This ship will depart from the back of Maizuru Bay, so it may not be able to pick up speed for a while. Maizuru Bay is a branch bay of Wakasa Bay, and is very complicated as it has a ria coast. There are certainly lights everywhere you look. If it were to depart during the day, it would be a fun cruise, but it’s dark at night and it’s hard to tell. The waves seem calm, so I think I’ll take a bath. I’ll go too. When I got out of the bath, it was lights out. It looks like a shopping mall with no peopleThere seem to have been quite a few passengers on board, but I wonder if they’ve all fallen asleepIt hasn’t even been an hour since we set sail, but the mood is one of sleepThe shop was closedI was thinking of buying a drink after my bath, but I let my guard downSo, let’s go to the vending machine sectionIce cream? Hmm, Rabbit-chan, I can’t decideIt ‘s hurry up and choose and go back to our roomUhhhhhhhh
‘s getting late, so let there’s coffee tooUhhhhh Please open itWe finally got back because it was late so we laid out our futonIt ‘s so tightIt ‘s the perfect size for the roomWhat did you end up buying? 間と一緒に　おいしいお野菜とおいしいお酒を楽しみました。 English: I ‘m drinking beer . Ah , it’s
still night , but it looks
like the sunrise will soon be here , so I think I’ll go outside for a bit. It’s night, so of course there’s no one there. Ah, that lobby feels a little old. The ship launched in 2004, and has been remodeled several times. How should I put it, the atmosphere around here is like an old hot spring hotel. The guest room floors are on decks 4 to 6, but you can only go outside at the back of deck 5. So I’m heading to the open deck on deck 5. The lighting is subdued, but it can’t be denied that it feels a little old. There’s nothing dirty, but the design feels like it’s from the early Heisei period. Come to think of it, I can’t find the egg-shaped protrusions that I often see on other ferries. The promenade looks very long, probably because the hull is large. I think there was a grill next to the promenade. I’m sure you can enter if you book a course meal. It really is long, though.海底乗りました。 English: It feels like it’s about 10 meters longer than the other shipsThere ‘s no one in the cafe space, but only a TV is onI wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s eerie , but it is a little lonelyI’ve finally made it to the open deck, but it’s cloudy todayI wonder if I’ll be able to see the sunrise like thisWe’re in the shadow of the ship, so there’s no wind, but I can tell we’re moving at an incredible speedThe wake also seems longer than the other shipsBecause the hull is long , there’s less pitching, but I guess that makes the rolling more noticeableCompared to smaller ships, it does n’t rock at allI
think the sun comes out this way , but it ‘s tough
todayI think I’ll go back to my room and get another napSleeping soothinglySleeping soothinglySleeping soothinglySleeping soothinglySleeping soothinglySleeping soothinglyGood morningIt’s just after 8 o’clock today , and the weather seems cloudyIt’s soggyThe handrails look wet, so it might be drizzlingLast night there was no rocking and I was able to sleep comfortablyThere was a slight rattling soundI think it’s probably from the engine vibrationOther ferries also vibrate this much, so I think this is what it’s like.Come to think of it, it looks like we’re no longer getting cell phone signals.Out of range.After passing the Noto Peninsula, this ship will sail about 160 kilometers offshore, so it seems that there’s no cell phone signal even if you’re sitting by the window.At this distance, you can’t see land with the naked eye, so it feels like we’re sailing on the open ocean, which is exciting.I’m hungry, shall we have breakfast? ぁーもう、 海底遺跡です。 English: Yes, let’s go. It’s curry curry . Let’s eat . The delicious curry is beef curry. I think it’s medium spicy , and the taste is typical of beef curry. It ‘s delicious, but the flavor doesn’t really stand out. It feels like a classic beef curry. There’s a counter , I wonder if they do a buffet or something. The restaurants on the Shin Nihonkai Ferry are order-based, but it would be fun if there
was a buffet. I don’t know what to do after this, so I think I’ll just lounge around in my room for a while. Oh , oh … Soon we should pass our sister ship, Hamanasu. Passing each other? Ah, this ship only has a deck at the rear, but this ship has a forward salon so I think we can see it from the front too. Maybe I should go and have a look. I’m curious too, so let’s go and check it out, and here we are, in the forward salon ! The inside of the room has a very calm atmosphere. It has a luxurious feelThe view from the front gives you a feeling of progress and is funSurprisingly there are few customersThe promenade was almost full, but here it is only crowded with a few people scattered aroundYou can’t see the sea unless you look up, so maybe it’s hard to relaxIt might be more comfortable if it was just carpetedI can see it somehowIt ‘s the sister ship, HamanasuThere ‘s water splashing and it feels fastThat ship is also traveling at a high speed of over 30 knots, so they will probably pass each other in the blink of an eyeShin Nihonkai Ferry ships seem to have big funnels for some reason, they’re so
hugeI wonder if there’s a reason for them?Maybe it’s good because they stand out on the seaThe Shin Nihonkai Ferry logo is gradually becoming clearThe relative speed is over 100 km so it will be approaching quicklyI tried taking a picture from a different angle, so please enjoy it uncutBy the way, I quite like this fixed camera-like angleIt’s interesting to see the contrast between the stationary bow and the choppy sea surfaceLike a planetarium? That’s how it felt. We passed each other and soon arrived at the stern. We were already so far apart. It was partly because of the fast sailing speed, but the ship was so big that it took a while to move. I was once again amazed at the size and speed of this ship. It seemed like all the passengers were gathered at the stern. As we were heading to the open deck, we were surprised to pass a queue. There were surprisingly many passengers. Usually it has an atmosphere that is mainly for cargo transport, but this ship has an atmosphere that is mainly for passengers. Before I knew it, the weather was getting better. We travel about 100 kilometers in about 2 hours, so the weather is probably changing. It would be nice to be able to go up to this deck, but I wonder if it’s dangerous at such a fast speed. It’s about 50km/h, so it must be a pretty strong wind.Since we’re already outside, why don’t we take a walk around the ship a bit? Usagi-chan, there’s a panel next to us.Would you like to try on a uniform ? I’ll decline.Oh , next to the open deck was a cafe.It ‘s open outside business hours so it looks like a rest area.During business hours, it must be popular, so it was crowded.Conference room? It seems that movies are screened here.I wonder what it’s like inside.It ‘s like a conference room, so it’s just as it is.Chairs ? They feel like karaoke chairs.Oh , it’s the game corner.It ‘s pretty spacious inside.There are slots, crane games, and car racing games.There ‘s also air hockey in the back.Oh, those are sausages.There ‘s fried shrimp again, are they popular? Shark !
I might want some.Eh, lunch? Hmm , after 3pm, I started getting cell phone signals.It seems like we’re finally approaching land where people are.I can see something.I think it might be Hokkaido.I think it might be Okushiri Island.Looking at the map, it seems like we can see the area around the sea squirt.Sea squirt? りと 乗りました。 English: Apparently this area is a coast lined with strange rocks, so you can see the color of the rock surfaceIt ‘s just after 3pm now, so we’ll be Otaru in about 5 hoursIt looks close on the map, but it’s taking longer than you’d expectI guess it takes time because it goes around the Shakotan PeninsulaIt doesn’t exist now, but in the past there used to be a ferry that departed from Iwanai, at the base of the Shakotan PeninsulaIwanai, huh? It must have been quite difficult to board the ferries on footThe roads were probably narrow back then, so it’s possible that they weren’t popular with truck drivers eitherIt might be a bit difficult to cross Inaho Pass on the way towards SapporoI’m hungry, so I think I’ll have some cup noodlesIt’s deliciousIt ‘s expensive on the boat, but I think it tastes goodIt’s cheaper than eating in a restaurantIt saves moneyBut I was in the mood for cup noodles todayI sometimes feel like eating themCome to think of it, isn’t the sun going down soon? You can’t miss the sunset if you’re on the Sea of ​​Japan. That’s right, let’s go out on the deck after eating. Oh, there are a lot of customers. It seems that everyone has come out because the weather is nice. It has a different atmosphere from the sunrise. You can only see the sunrise and sunset on a ferry that leaves at night and arrives at night. It’s close to Hokkaido, so it’s a little cold. The wake is curved. We’re about to cross the Shakotan Peninsula. Even though we have two more hours, it makes you feel like the journey is coming to an end. Oh, there’s something on the land. It looks like a ferry bound for Niigata. The schedule is to depart Otaru Port at 5pm and arrive in Niigata at 9am the next day.
The information only includes passing sister ships with large funnels , but it will also pass by the Niigata route . It’s the newest ship among the Shin Nihonkai Ferries. It doesn’t go as fast as the Akashia, but the facilities on board seem to be luxurious. I’m looking forward to riding its sister ship on the way back . It’s getting cold, so let’s go back to the room. If we try hard, we can see the view from the room. I’m peeking out from the top of the window, Be careful not to bump into it. You can see the lighthouse . It lights up every five seconds, so it’s the Shakotan Cape Lighthouse. The neighboring Kamui Cape Lighthouse lights up every 15 seconds, so you can see the difference. If you’ve come this far, Otaru is just around the corner. The city lights of Otaru are in sight. It’s brighter than Maizuru, as you’d expect from a port town. The breakwater at Otaru Port opens slightly to the east, so this ship will make a slightly larger detour before entering the port of Otaru. We’re here to collect your key. Thank you. At Akashia, keys are collected before arrival, but on ferries that use physical keys, the keys are returned, so Acacia will come to collect it in advanceIt ‘s not a small ship so it will probably take some time to collect itRecently, ships have been replaced with QR codes and the like, so this may soon be the last time we see this sightThe terminal is now in sightThe connecting corridor is really longThis is a famous connecting corridor at Otaru Port, and you can see the distinctive gate-shaped terminal building in the foregroundIf you get this far, you’ve almost arrivedWe will provide instructions for disembarking for passengers boarding on footPassengers boarding on foot will be able to disembark as soon as the boarding gate is connected, so once you are ready to disembark, please wait in the lobby on the 4th floorShall we go ? It was a little
longer, but we’ve landed in Hokkaido. For ships that arrive at night, the time from sunset to arrival feels long. With the second night approaching, it feels like we’re about to depart again . Akashia will return to Maizuru after this. It looks like we’ll be departing at 11:30pm. It seems we’ll only be in port for about three hours. It’s a ship made for this, but it doesn’t have a break. I can’t see what’s ahead. Tomakomai West Port was long, but this passage is also quite long. Otaru Port is also a quay where two 200m-class ferries can dock in tandem, so the passage is over 200m long, but there is a moving walkway here, so it’s a little easier to move around. By the way, where are you staying tonight? You’re not going to say you’re going home like this , are you? Today I’ve booked a hotel near Otaru Station. That’s good , but I think Usagi-chan will walk to the station . Walk? It’s not that far, so it’ll be fine. Let’s do our best. Akashia – have a nice trip ! Isn’t it? Katsunari Bridge . Usagi-chan, shall we turn further ahead ? Oh, it’s a little easier to walk. It’s the canal! The lighting is beautiful. It’s night, but there are a lot of people. It’s a tourist spot, as you ‘d expect. We’re almost there. Otaru Station is in sight. It was close when we were sightseeing . Is that right? We’ve arrived. It was a long journey. Thank you
. Thank you for watching.
