【17,300円】2段ベッドの“秘密基地”が最高すぎた！700円の爆安ビュッフェで元を取る12時間船旅

On the final day of the Osaka Expo (October 13 2025), I boarded the ferry “Sunflower Gold” from Kobe Port to Oita Port. This large ferry, inspired by the motif of the sun, departs Kobe at night and sails quietly across the Seto Inland Sea for about twelve hours. 🚢 Ferry Overview Vessel name: Sunflower Gold Route: Kobe Port → Oita Port (approx. 412 km) Duration: about 12 hours Voyage area: the calm waters of the Seto Inland Sea Trademark: the distinctive design of the sun 🛏️ Cabin Stayed in a Standard Single Room (6.4 m²)—compact yet comfortable. Equipped with a sink, table, and closet, plus amenities such as slippers, a hand towel, and a toothbrush. A small TV displays the ferry’s current location. 🍴 Meals Dinner is served buffet-style (2,000 yen). Enjoy Kyushu specialties like black-pork minced-cutlet, roast beef, chanpon noodles, curry, and desserts for a relaxing onboard dinner. Breakfast (700 yen) offers great value—grilled mackerel, Sunflower fish cakes, and a mix of Japanese and Western options. The morning buffet is especially popular. 🎮 Night Entertainment The 24-hour game arcade and evening magic show make the ferry lively, especially for families. At night, the ship passes under the Akashi Kaikyō Bridge, illuminated in Myaku-Myaku colors to mark the closing of the Osaka Expo. The combination of fireworks and lights was unforgettable. ⚓ Arrival At 6:20 a.m., the ferry arrived on schedule at Oita Port. With the Sunflower theme song playing softly, I disembarked under the gentle morning sun. 🌊 What You’ll See in This Video A full tour of the latest Sunflower ferry “Gold” Review of the Kobe → Oita overnight ferry experience Details of onboard restaurants, baths, and private cabins The beautiful Seto Inland Sea at night on the final day of the Osaka Expo ⏱️ Chapters 0:00 Opening 0:33 Arrival at Sunflower Kobe Port 2:38 Boarding & Room Tour 6:27 Osaka Expo Closing Fireworks 7:06 Departure from Kobe Port 8:45 Dinner Buffet 11:43 24-Hour Game Arcade 13:14 Akashi Kaikyō Bridge (Myaku-Myaku Colors) 14:23 Gift Shop & Magic Show 19:42 Observation Bath & Shower Room 20:49 Returning to Room – Bunk Bed Tour 25:45 Breakfast Buffet 🏷️ Hashtags #SunflowerFerry #SunflowerGold #KobePort #OitaPort #FerryTravel #SetoInlandSea #OsakaExpo #OvernightFerry #JapanTravel #SoloTravelJapan #TravelVlog #TravelASMR #CapsuleHotel #SleeperTrain #HiddenJapan #JapanVlog
