    The name Funeko is funny, because it's a portmanteau word. It's half "fune", which is Japanese for ferry, and half "neko", which is Japanese for cat, so the name is perfect, it's "Ferrycat".

    🇧🇷🇧🇷 Personally, my favorite videos from this channel, are the ones about ferries. Not the fancy ones, but the popular ( down to earth) ones. The things I like the most are: the food, the bathroom ( when its is shown) and the bed. I have the impression that , to take a shower inside these vessels may be something quite expensive because, quite rarely, we see the showers. Am I right? Taking a hot and warm bath; sleeping clean and comfortable on the sea.... must be something quite good. Why do I think in this way? Because you are sleeping with the waves'balance. I have traveled a lot by airplane, but ships...I don't know how to explain this but, the ocean causes fear... a lot of it.🇧🇷🇧🇷

    It was a very nice and comfortable ferry trip that makes me even more want to experience this kind of trip in Japan ! ⛴😄 Hankyu ferry is a nice ferry with an ordinary design that suits everybody. 🛳🙌🏻 It also offers a large amount of useful services, the big shop with various products being a true treasure. 😁 The vending machines and amusement arcades are further funny treasures that I would explore with joy. 🤗
    Concerning your cabin, I find that it's very spacious and it offers a lot of equipments and supplies of good quality. 👍🏻 Each room looks spacious and well equipped enough. 🙂 The only thing that is maybe sad is that the balcony has no chairs nor tables despite offering an amazing view. 😅 However, your cabin is globally of very good comfort. 😊
    I make use of this comment to thank you very much for your complete valuation of each ferry or any transportation you use ! 🙏🏻 It's obvious that you have become a true and reliable expert in the different Japanese public transports, which is why you're a reference for me in this domain. 😃
