Join ITSUKA JAPAN on an 18-hour solo ferry journey aboard the newly launched 'Sunflower Kamui' (さんふらわあ かむい). This state-of-the-art ferry, which began service on January 21, 2025, operates an overnight route from Oarai (大洗) in Ibaraki Prefecture to Tomakomai (苫小牧) in Hokkaido.

The video provides an in-depth look at the ferry’s modern features, including fully private rooms with locking doors, accessible facilities, a pet room and dog run, a large public bath with a sauna, a well-stocked store, and vending machines for food and drinks. A special highlight includes rare footage of the public bath area, filmed with special permission.

Viewers can explore the ship’s amenities through timestamps covering different aspects of the journey: from a detailed room and facility tour, a review of the onboard store and vending machine restaurant, to onboard meals like frozen curry for breakfast and a Hokkaido-exclusive yakisoba bento for lunch.
