I'm now hoping for one of two things:

That DBS run a ferry this Summer from Vlad to Donghae with a scheduled departure time and I ride down to Busan and take Camellia Lines to Fukuoaka,

Or,

depending on price and schedule, the bike goes on a roro to Busan, I fly, and then take Camellia lines to Fukuoaka.

Most likely: leave the bike with Yuri and get a return flight to Japan.

Overshadowing all of this is the corona virus of course. Olympic qualifying has already been hit by it.

Let's hope it is controlled in a few moths globally, we can do nothing more than wait and be prepared for further cancellations.

We'll have to wait untill march-april to know what will happen to our trips. Until then if I have more information I will post it here.

I'm sure if not DBS another ferry line will be operating this route Vlad-Korea-Japan. As they said, during summer is still profitable and neither Sakaiminato or Donghae want this service to disappear. Having to enter Korea without wanting to spend time there for me is a problem. But anyway if I have to go there to arrive to Japan I'll go there.

Yesterday I recieved a new message from Tatiana, another DBS member:

"Thank you for the email.

I am sorry to inform you that ferry line Vladivostok-Donghae-Sakaiminato is stopped. At the moment there is no information on further sailing.

If you want to get updates on sailing, please, inform me.

There is some information from our customer, I hope, you find it useful for your trip.
https://www.madornomad.com/the-overlanders-guide-to-japan/"

Of course I replied asking for updates or alternatives, but still no answer.
Also the website she sent me explains how to arrive to Japan by ferry... using the DBS Ferry.

As far as I know, and not counting the DBS ferry, there was another one from Russia to Japan between Sakhalin and Wakkanai during summer. But in their website there is almost no information, and the most part is outdated and not for passengers, it's for companies and cargo.

I read in another website that back to the URSS times entering Vladivostok as a foreigner was forbidden, so a similar ferry went from Japan to Nahodka.

This is the website of the Korean Touristic International Ferries, and there is no other ferry to Russia.
https://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/TRP/TP_ENG_3_1.jsp

Finally, I found some news about a regular ferry that was announced in 2018 from Pohang to Vladivostok, but it seems it has never operated.
https://www.rt.com/business/443426-r...ea-ferry-line/

As of today, we don't have any passenger ferry alternatives.


EDIT:

This picture shows the pop-up that opens when you enter DBS Korean website. It says it is suspended until 29/02, but nothing more.
