First experience 初体験

Reviewed by: とよはる

This time, I boarded a boat to show my 2-year-old son the beautiful fish living in the waters of Okinawa. From other people's experiences, I learned that the water clarity is better when the day before was sunny, so we hurriedly boarded on the day we arrived in Okinawa. Unfortunately, perhaps due to the strong winds, the water clarity wasn't as great as I had hoped, but the crew of the Orca boat kindly fed the fish near the boat, allowing us to closely observe the tropical fish.

Although some rocking was expected, it wasn't enough to cause seasickness, and we enjoyed a pleasant cruise with a nice breeze, which made my 2-year-old son very happy. He was excitedly holding onto the Orca boat magnet we received, even after disembarking (laughs).

It's quite challenging to encounter the perfect day for a tour that is affected by the weather, but I believe it was a valuable experience that both adults and children can enjoy. Next time, I definitely want to take a plan that includes lunch on a nice weather day to fully enjoy Okinawa.

今回は、2歳の息子に綺麗な沖縄の海底に住むお魚を見せたく乗船しました。
他の方の体験談から、前日が快晴であった方が、海水の透明度がよいとの事だったので、バタバタしましたが、沖縄到着日に慌てて乗船。
残念ながら、風が強かった為か、海の透明度は凄くいいとは言えませんでしたが、オルカ号の船員さんが船の傍に撒餌をして下さり、南国のお魚達を間近でじっくり鑑賞する事が出来ました。
揺れも予想されていましたが、船酔いするほどではなく、心地よい風を感じるクルーズで、2歳の息子も大喜び。戴いたオルカ号のマグネットを握りしめながら、下船後も興奮してはしゃいでました(笑)
こういった、お天気に左右されるツアーで、最高に良い日に巡り合うのは、なかなか難しいですが、貴重な体験が出来、大人も子供も楽しめるプランだと思います。
今度は是非、お天気の良い日に、ランチ券付きのプランでゆったりと沖縄を満喫したいと思います。

Golden Week amphibious bus ゴールデンウィーク 水陸両用バス

Reviewed by: シルバー夫婦

I took the water bus from in front of the Tokyo Skytree during a weekday in Golden Week. The ride on the river was only about 15 minutes, and I think it would have been better if it had been closer to 30 minutes. I also think there should be course options like a downstream ride on the Sumida River.

Shared Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Very Nice Experience!

Reviewed by: lchazeau

I have visited Japan many times but never experienced Yakatabune boat.
It is a ery nice and complete experience. You can enjoy nice views of Tokyo Bay and a delicious traditional Japanese Dinner. The food was very fresh with Apetizers, sushis, nice tempura cooked on the boat (Vegetables, nice fishes), rice, dessert and open bar.
Nice views from the top of the boat. Few stops to make picturs of Tokyo Skey tree, Rainbow bridges. The staff is very nice and has special attention to guests. Very typical experience, not so many foreigners, lots of Japanese people. We were all very happy and there was a very good atmosphere among guests. I definitely recommend this experience!

Romantic Factory Night View Exploration Cruise ロマンチックな工場夜景探検クルーズ

Reviewed by: まさちゃん

I was initially skeptical about whether something like this could be a travel product, but in reality, I had a wonderfully enjoyable time that exceeded my expectations. I want to express my gratitude to the captain, who generously shared his extensive knowledge and experiences, especially regarding the transport vessel created for the construction workers at Haneda Airport.

I learned that all ships follow right-hand traffic, that factory monitoring is primarily conducted from the control room, and that the flames of the 24-hour operating plant change color at times. It was a treasure trove of knowledge for me, even including information about Asuka II, which was docked after returning from a world cruise. The sea breeze, splashes of waves, fascinating stories, the view of the factory complex directly from the ship, the pipes of the plant emerging from the darkness, and the lighting illuminating concrete and glass—from the red lights of the Showa era to the bluish-white glow of LEDs—I was able to see various types of tankers and ships.

I enjoyed using my senses of sight, hearing, smell, and touch. It was a moment of both tension and bliss.

こんなものが旅行商品になるのかと初めは半信半疑で参加したのですが、実際は期待以上の
楽しいひと時をすごさせていただきました。羽田空港の工事関係者のために作られた運搬船と長い経験からの知識をおしみなく話し続けていただいた船長さんに感謝したいと思います。
 船がすべて右側通行であるとか 工場の監視はもっぱらコントロールルームでおこなわれているとか 24時間操業しているプラントの炎の色が時にかわるとか、同時期に世界クルーズから戻って停泊していた飛鳥Ⅱのことまで 私にとって初めての知識の宝庫でした。海の風、波しぶき、興味深いお話し、船からじかにみる工場群、闇の中に見えてくるプラントのパイプ群、コンクリート、ガラスなどを照らす照明 昭和の赤いものから LEDに変わった青白いあかりまで

All Ages Underwater Sightseeing Cruise Ship Orca with Departure from Naha

Glad I did this!

Reviewed by: Ao428

Since we went to Okinawa with a 3 year old and little baby we couldn't do any marine sports, but we found this instead. I was a bit nervous going alone with my kids, but the staff were really kind and I was relieved. We could see the fish swimming just outside in the sea so my kids and I loved it. I also felt the lunch was worth it. There's not much around, so I was glad I reserved.

乗合屋形船 お台場&スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理&飲み放題付! 全船掘りごたつ&スカイデッキ完備<両国発>by 晴海屋

Yakatabune in midwinter☆ 真冬の屋形船☆

Reviewed by: mayu

I always thought that riding a yakatabune (traditional Japanese boat) was something to do in the summer, but I heard that in December there are Christmas illuminations and fireworks, so I decided to take a ride on a winter yakatabune!

We gathered at the boat dock, about a 5-minute walk from Kachidoki Station. Since it was the year-end party season, there were more people than I expected. After waiting for a while, we boarded the boat, and drinks were served right away as we set off. On Saturdays in December, there are fireworks in Odaiba, so we took a reverse route from usual. We headed towards the Christmas illuminations in Odaiba and stopped for a while to wait for the fireworks. During that time, freshly made, crispy tempura was served, and I was very satisfied with the food! Before the fireworks, not many people went out onto the deck, and the illuminations along with other yakatabune created an indescribably beautiful scene.

When the fireworks started at 7 PM, I went up to the second floor and was greeted by the Rainbow Bridge and a spectacular display of fireworks right in front of me! It was the best spot! Although it was a short 10 minutes, it was amazing. After the fireworks, we enjoyed the remaining food while heading towards Asakusa. We also got to see the Skytree lit up in green for Christmas, and it reminded me of the wonderful aspects of Tokyo. The lady who was serving and guiding us was fluent in English, so I definitely plan to use this service again when friends from abroad visit!

屋形船に乗るなら絶対夏だなーとなんとなく思っていましたが、12月はクリスマスイルミネーションと花火があると聞いて真冬の屋形船に乗ってきました!
勝どき駅から徒歩5分くらいの船着場に集合。忘年会シーズンということもあり、思った以上に人が集まってました。暫く待って乗船し、すぐに飲み物が配られ、出発。12月の土曜は花火がお台場で花火があるため普段とは逆ルートで回るとのこと。クリスマスイルミネーションのお台場に向かって進んで行き、暫らく止まって花火待ち。その間にも揚げたてサクサクの天ぷらが配られ、料理にも大満足!花火前は甲板に出る人も少なく、イルミネーションと他の屋形船が光を放ってなんとも言えない綺麗さでした。19時に花火が始まって2階に上がってみると目の前にはレインボーブリッジと大輪の花火!ベスポジでした!!10分程度と短い時間でしたが最高でした。花火が終わって残りの料理を食べつつ、浅草方面へ。クリスマス仕様で緑色に光るスカイツリーも見れて、改めて東京の良い所が見れました。運びとガイドをしていたお姉さんは英語も堪能で、海外から友人が来たら是非また利用しようと思います♪

乗合屋形船 お台場&スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理&飲み放題付! 全船掘りごたつ&スカイデッキ完備<両国発>by 晴海屋

I keep coming back. リピートしてます

Reviewed by: anonymous

This is my second time participating, following my first visit about three years ago. I looked at other options, but since I wanted to invite my mother-in-law and my parents, I decided to go with this place again, where I was satisfied last time.

On the day of the event, I strolled around Hamarikyu until the meeting point, passing through Tsukiji, enjoying a walk in Tokyo. It was beautiful as the lights began to illuminate. At the boarding area, which is visible right from Reimei Bridge, two boats were already docked, and many participants had gathered.

One boat was reserved by a company, and the other was for our group. From the moment we boarded, the staff member Kaoruko provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which was reassuring for my mother-in-law, who doesn't understand Japanese. I think this service wasn't available last time, but perhaps it was tailored to the clientele.

I was delighted with the seasonal appetizers, but it seemed that my two-year-old child and my parents particularly enjoyed the Edo-style tempura served one dish at a time! The all-you-can-drink option was also great, and they encouraged us to try a lot, which was fun.

My mother-in-law was pleased with the fan-shaped menu that also served as a guide to Tokyo. Taking photos on the deck at various points was essential, and these little touches were perfect for the hospitality.

This time, my child was the only small one, but with Kaoruko's care and the understanding of those around us, we were able to relax comfortably. Towards the end, my father discovered that someone from the neighboring group was from the same hometown, which created a sense of camaraderie and made us feel the joy of being part of a shared experience.

I look forward to participating again!

約3年前に続き2回目の参加です。
他も見ましたが義理の母、私の両親を招待するので、自分が前回満足できたこちらに再度お願いすることにしました。
当日は集合まで浜離宮をぷらぷら、築地を通って集合場所まで東京散歩。ライトアップされ始める時間で綺麗でした。
黎明橋からすぐ見える乗り場にはすでに二艘停泊していて、参加者の方も多く集まっていました。
一艘はどこか会社の貸切で、もう一艘が私達の乗合でした。
乗り込む際からスタッフの薫子さんが英語と半々で案内してくださったので、日本語が分からない義母にも安心でした。前回は無かったサービスだと思いますが、客層に合わせた器量でのおもてなしだったのかもしれません。
季節の前菜から嬉しかったですが、2歳の子供、両親にはやはり一品一品出てくる江戸前天ぷらがお気に入りのようでした!飲み放題も嬉しいですよね。たくさん勧めていただけます笑
義母は扇子状のメニュー兼東京案内に喜んでいました。ポイントポイントでデッキでの写真撮影も欠かせないですが、細かなところがおもてなしにピッタリなんですね。
今回小さな子供はうちの子だけでしたが、薫子さんのケアを始め周りの方のご理解があり、居心地よく過ごさせていただきました。
終盤では隣のグループの方と父が同郷ということが分かって一気に一体感が高まり、乗合の醍醐味みたいなものを感じられる時間でした。
また参加させていただきますね!

Cruise was good, but there was no English translation

Reviewed by: Luanne

The guides on the boat only spoke Japanese, so we had no idea what we were looking at or what they were saying. They did a lot of speaking. Even ordering plum wine was a challenge. I feel that they should have had some narration for non-Japanese speaking people. What we saw was very pretty and the food was very good, so the only complaint is language problem.

Luck is important. 運も大事です

Reviewed by: 上海在住の日本人

They will inform you of the visibility and the level of boat sway on a scale of 1 to 5 just before boarding. On the day I boarded, I was disappointed to hear that the visibility was rated as "second from the bottom," but once we reached the viewing point, I was able to see a decent amount of fish and coral, so it turned out well. Since you're dealing with nature, luck on the day is important. It's a short cruise of about an hour, so I recommend checking the weather and wave forecasts before participating.

Dear Japanese resident in Shanghai,

Thank you very much for boarding our underwater viewing boat, Orca.

Especially during this time of year, strong north winds often prevent us from reaching the outer sea points, and to be honest, the inner sea points can be unpredictable until you actually visit them. As you mentioned, since we are dealing with nature, luck is also an important factor!

If you can visit during the summer when the ocean conditions are calmer, please do give it a try. I believe you will experience a different sea than what you encountered this time.

We look forward to welcoming you.

It's disappointing that the water clarity is shallow. 海の透明度が浅くて残念

Reviewed by: 21seiki

Before boarding, the staff provided a detailed explanation about the ship's movement and the sea's transparency for the day. We were informed that the sea's transparency level was below standard and murky on the day we were to board. The transparency can change depending on wave conditions and weather, so it seems to depend on luck that day. The ship anchored a little offshore, and the sea bottom watching began. While we could see fish swimming, the low transparency made it difficult to take clear photos, which was quite disappointing as we returned to the port.

At the buffet at Nest Hotel Naha, our seats were already prepared when we arrived at the restaurant, so we could enter without waiting. There was a wide variety of dishes, and the taste was excellent; everything was very delicious. The freshly fried tempura was the most popular item.

乗船前に係員から当日の船の揺れ具合や海の透明度について詳しい説明があります。
私たちが乗船する日の海の透明度はレベルで標準よりも下で濁っているとの案内でした。透明度は波の状態や天候により変わるのでその日の運次第かと思います。船は少し沖へ出た所で停泊、海底ウォッチングの始まりとなりましたが、魚たちが泳いでいるのは見えましたが透明度が浅くて写真を撮っても綺麗には写りませんでした。とても残念な思いで港に戻りました。

乗合屋形船 お台場&スカイツリー周遊コース 旬のお料理&飲み放題付! 全船掘りごたつ&スカイデッキ完備<両国発>by 晴海屋

We enjoyed a yakatabune (houseboat) experience with three generations! 三世代で屋形船を満喫しました!

Reviewed by: いずみん

I participated in a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) experience with my parents who came from Kyushu, enjoying a typical Tokyo night together across three generations. This was my second time on this yakatabune, having joined it two winters ago. The service quality remains consistently excellent, and I was once again very satisfied!

The highlight of the evening was the food, which seemed to have improved in quality compared to my last visit. The seasonal appetizers were beautifully crafted, and each one was delicious. Even the kids, who usually don’t eat much vegetables or tofu, exclaimed, "This is delicious!" The freshly fried tempura, a highlight of the yakatabune experience, was outstanding! While the dipping sauce was good, the simple taste of salt on the hot tempura was delightful. For dessert, there were two types: fruit and wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). I ended up quite full.

The all-you-can-drink menu included a variety of options like beer (Ichiban Shibori!), shochu (and sour drinks), wine, and umeshu (plum wine), making the time on board feel too short... If I had to wish for something, I would have liked a few more options for soft drinks (the kids had only cola and orange juice).

Last time, an ice cream vendor came by the boat, but this time it was a vendor selling asari (clams) tsukudani (a type of preserved food). At 1000 yen per pack, it seemed a bit pricey in hindsight, but I bought two for my parents and myself, and they sold out right after. It was a lucky moment. Shopping on the boat added to the unique experience, creating wonderful memories.

The night views of Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba are always beautiful, no matter how many times you see them. Personally, I love the night view of the bright red Tokyo Tower the most. It seems that there will be fireworks at Odaiba on Saturday nights in December, so if you visit during that time, I think you can enjoy the yakatabune experience even more.

九州から出てきた両親と共に、東京らしい夜の過ごし方ということで、三世代で屋形船に参加しました。この屋形船は2年前の冬に参加して、今回で2回目。やっぱり安定したサービスクオリティです。もちろん今回も満足です!

一番の楽しみの料理は、前回よりもグレードがアップしていたような気がします。季節感が感じられる前菜は、一つ一つが手が込んでいて、どれも美味。普段はあまり野菜や豆腐などを食べない子供たちも「美味しい!」と平らげていました。屋形船の醍醐味である揚げたての天麩羅は、文句なし!天つゆもいいですが、揚げたてなのでシンプルに塩が美味しかったです。デザートは果物と和菓子の2種類。かなりお腹いっぱいになりました。

飲み放題は、ビール(一番搾り!)や焼酎(サワー類)、ワイン、梅酒など種類も多く、下船までの時間が惜しかったくらい...。欲を言えば、ソフトドリンクの種類がもう少しあるといいかなと思いました(子供向けは、コーラとオレンジジュースの2種類です)。

前回はアイスクリーム売りの船が来ましたが、今回はあさりの佃煮売りの船が来ました。1パック1000円と今考えて見れば少し高いのですが、残り僅かということで両親と自分の家用に2個購入したところで、売り切れ御礼。ラッキー。船の上で買い物をするという非日常感で、良い思い出になりました。

東京スカイツリーやお台場の夜景は、何度見てもいいですね。個人的には真っ赤な東京タワーの夜景が一番好きです。12月の土曜日にはお台場で花火が行われるようですので、その時期であれば、もっと屋形船を楽しめると思います。

  • 季節の前菜&お造り。どれも美味しかった~!

  • 揚げたての天麩羅は、屋形船の醍醐味です。

  • 一通り食事が終わると、夜景タイム。

  • 他の船で売りに来た佃煮屋さん。人気で、売り切れ御礼でした。

Second participation. 2度目の参加

Reviewed by: taro

Last year, when I participated, there was an event where everyone celebrated the birthday guests. After seeing that, my son said he definitely wanted to ride on a yakatabune again for his next birthday, so we joined again this time to celebrate his birthday.

The freshly fried tempura was as delicious as ever, and having all-you-can-drink with it is truly appreciated. Most of the staff were different from last time, but both then and now, everyone was really pleasant, and we had a wonderful time.

Additionally, this time there was a surprise with a comedian on board who performed a traditional Japanese act with a folding fan and a lion dance. There were many guests from abroad as well, which made it very lively.

And then came the much-anticipated celebration event. Besides my two children, there were several other birthday guests, and we all celebrated together. On this day, not only were there birthdays, but there was also a couple who had just gotten married that day, and we shared in their happy atmosphere.

It was a day where I felt that the scenery, food, drinks, and this sense of togetherness are the true essence of a yakatabune experience.

昨年参加した際、誕生日のお客さんをみんなでお祝いするイベントがありました。
それを見た息子が次の誕生日は絶対屋形船にもう一度乗りたいと言っていたので、今回誕生日に合わせてまた参加させてもらいました。

揚げたての天ぷらは相変わらずおいしく、これで飲み放題というのは本当にありがたいです。
スタッフの方の大半は前回と違っていたのですが、前回も今回も皆さん本当に気持ちの良い方ばかりで楽しい時間を過ごさせていただきました。

さらに今回はサプライズで芸人さんが同乗しており、南京玉すだれと獅子舞を披露してくださいました。
外国からのお客さんも多数乗船していたのでとても盛り上がりました。

そして待望のお祝いイベント。
うちの子2人以外にも何人か誕生日の方がいて、全員でお祝いをしました。
この日は誕生日だけでなく、何と当日結婚されたばかりの方まで乗船しており幸せな空気を分けていただきました。

景色、料理、お酒だけでなく、この一体感も屋形船の醍醐味なのだなと感じた一日でした。

It was my first experience on a traditional houseboat! 初屋形船でした!

Reviewed by: どちお

My father, uncle, and I participated together.
It was my and my father's first experience on a traditional Japanese houseboat, and we had a wonderful time.

The boarding area was near the Oedo Line's Kachidoki Station, which was easy to find even for us who were unfamiliar with the area.

We confirmed our names with the beautiful cabin attendant and boarded the boat. As soon as we got on, we saw the kitchen and greeted the staff, who responded with a smile, saying, "Enjoy your time!" This made us even more excited.

The other guests included salarymen and a group of ladies celebrating a 90th birthday, among others. There was also a couple at a table, and as someone who had the image of a houseboat being solely for parties, I realized, "This can be used for various occasions," which was an eye-opener for me.

As the boat started moving, we felt the excitement from the sound of the motor, while the city lights and illuminated bridges outside the window thrilled us! The cabin attendant provided information at key points, and my father, who loves taking photos, was happily capturing every moment.

The food was delicious. I was delighted that the tempura was freshly fried! We devoured everything from vegetables to fish. Also, having unlimited bottled beer added to the luxurious feeling. Hehe.

We were able to enjoy a truly extraordinary experience. Thank you!

Yakatabune Dinner Cruise on Tokyo Bay

Reviewed by: Tina

We decided spontaneously to join a boat trip, and we didn't regret it at all. The atmosphere was extremely friendly, the staff was kind and very attentive.
It is worth to try the trip even with kids, as we did with 7 and 10 years old.
We had lots of fun on the boat, even though we were the only foreigners there and we didn't really understand all the food and cultural presentation that was provided for the guests.

工場夜景クルーズ 東京と神奈川にまたがる京浜工業地帯の宇宙ステーションのような夜景を鑑賞 <当日正午まで予約OK/90分/横浜大さん橋ふとう発>

The long-awaited factory night view cruise! 念願の工場夜景クルーズ!

Reviewed by: めいめい

As a factory enthusiast, I wanted to participate in the "Factory Night View Cruise" at least once, so I invited my husband to join me. We boarded the ship at the Oosanbashi Pier. At this time, I sat on the left side facing forward, but since the spots are visible on the right side, I recommend sitting on the right if you can.

While listening to the captain's relaxed talk, we first passed directly under the Rainbow Bridge. Seeing the bridge up close was incredibly impressive. After that, we approached a group of crane-like structures lined up along the coast. Experiencing the loading and unloading of huge containers from a large tanker was a rare and moving experience. Then, we finally arrived at the main oil refinery area. The beauty of the flames and the illuminated factories was so captivating that I could have stared at them forever.

The boat itself had both "normal cruising" and "wild cruising" options, and I enjoyed the pleasant speed. It started to drizzle a little along the way, but it wasn't bothersome.

If I had to wish for something, I would have liked to get a bit closer to the factories, but I heard that getting too close can lead to trouble, so I think they were entertaining us just at the edge of that limit. Next time, I would like to participate in the Keihin Canal course!

工場マニアとして一度は参加してみたかった「工場夜景クルーズ」に旦那を誘って参加してきました。
集合場所の大さん橋ふ頭ビルから乗船。この時、進行方向左側に座ったのですが、各スポットは右側に見えてくるので、座るなら右側のほうがおススメです。
船長さんのユルイ感じのトークを聞きながら、まず通過したのがレインボーブリッジの真下。間近に見る橋は大迫力でした。その後、沿岸沿いに並んで立つキリンのようなクレーン群に接近。大型タンカーから巨大コンテナを積み下ろしする所を見るという経験は貴重で感動しきり。そして、いよいよメインの石油工場地帯へ。燃え上がる炎とライトアップされた工場の美しさは、いつまでも眺めていられるほど魅力的でした。
ボート自体も「通常走行」と「ワイルド走行」というのがあり、ほど良くスピードが感じられて気持ちよかったです。途中から小雨が降ってきましたが、気にならない程度でした。
欲を言えば、もっと工場に近寄って欲しいところでしたが、あまり近づくと怒られるそうなので、そのギリギリのところで私たち参加者を楽しませてくださっていたのだと思います。
次回は京浜運河コースに参加してみたいです♪

First time with six people at Orca! ヽ(〃∀〃)ノ 6人で初オルカヽ(〃∀〃)ノ

Reviewed by: 肝っ玉母ちゃん

We took our four children, including our 3-year-old, on our first glass-bottom boat ride! Compared to the glass-bottom boats in Onna Village and the whale shark watching, the water was a bit murky, making it harder to see, and the windows had many scratches, which made taking photos difficult. However, on the way to the viewing point, it felt wonderful to enjoy the beautiful sea while being blown by the cool sea breeze. The kids were so excited, shouting things like, "Look, there are fish!" and "The fish are coming! They're so fast!" as if they were at an aquarium. They were thrilled to see characters like Nemo and Dory from Disney's Finding Nemo. For a family of six, the price was reasonable, and there were many different plans to choose from, which made it hard to decide. I would love to try the lunch or BBQ watching and cruise options next time. The boat had a vending machine and offered a variety of plans! At the end, we even received a cute orca magnet as a souvenir! I immediately stuck it on the fridge in our hotel. Thank you for the wonderful memories. There were many families with small children and foreign tourists, so it felt safe even with little ones.

子連れ四人末っ子は3歳を連れて初グラスボート!恩納村などのグラスボートやじんべえサメウォッチングなどと比べてしまうと濁りも少しあり見づらく窓も傷が多く写真も撮りにくいと思いました。ですがポイントまで行く間、綺麗な海をながめながら涼しい潮風に吹かれてとても気持ちがよかったです。子供たちはまるで水族館に来ているかのようにあそなけにお魚いるよ!お魚きたよ!早いよー!など興奮して楽しんでいましたd( ̄  ̄)ディズニーのファインティングニモに出てくるキャラクターニモやドーリーも見れてにもがいたよーと喜んでいた子供達。6人家族でこの金額は安かったですし他にも色々なプランがあり迷いました…。ランチ付きやBBQ付きウォッチングやクルーズも次回は利用してみたいと思いました。船内には自動販売機有,色々なプランも豊富!ラストは可愛いオルカ号のマグネットもお土産で頂けましたー!早速ホテルの備え付け冷蔵庫にペタペタしていました笑。楽しい思い出を有難うございました。子供連れと外国人観光客が多かったので小さなお子様連れでも安心です。

The viewing time is only 10 minutes. 鑑賞時間はたった10分

Reviewed by: ゆきち

In addition to our tour group, there were 80 overseas group tourists with us. It was said that the viewing room, which you can only enter after arriving at a specific spot, operates on a two-entry system, allowing for about 10 minutes of viewing time. When we were guided to the back of the group, there were no empty seats in the narrow viewing area. I had to ask a Chinese group of tourists in English to squeeze in, and somehow managed to secure a seat. Even so, it was between the windows, and I thought it was unbelievable to pay this price even if I could see properly.

私達ツアー参加者の他に海外の団体客80名が一緒でした。特定のスポットに到着しないと入れない鑑賞室には2回入れ替え制との事で鑑賞時間は約10分。グループの最後の方に案内されると狭い鑑賞席のなか空席がありません。英語で中国人団体観光客の人に詰めて貰うよう声を掛けてなんとか座席を確保しました。それでも窓と窓の間の壁の部分です。ちゃんと見れてもこの料金はありえないと思いました。

Nothing Short of AMAZING!!!

Reviewed by: TLV9185

This cruise really made our trip! The food was excellent, the service was phenomenal, and we even got personal attention by an English-speaking guide (as we were the only English-speaking on the boat). We saw so many great sights and had so many awesome photo opportunities.

You are seated at your own individual table and it is a very nice "date-night" setting. The group all together was in great cheer and intermingled between meals and during the rooftop sightseeing.

The weather was fair and it rained a little but this did not affect the spirits of the crew, the passengers, or any of the amazing sights we saw!

This boat ride is a MUST for your next trip to Tokyo!!!

This night went beyond our expectations. We had a great time with all the people on board,who were mainly Japanese. The MC/hostess was bilingual and such a lovely woman,friendly and hard-working. Entertainment was a bonus and the food was really fresh and authentic. It was a perfect evening for us and we were expecting a mediocre night because of the rain. Luckily it stopped just as we got into Odaiba and we could take in the amazing view. I can`t believe I haven`t done this before. Highly recommended and worth the cost.

Due to strong winds before the typhoon, the boat was rocking quite a bit, but the weather was nice and pleasant. It was clear, but the water wasn't very clear. Also, it was disappointing that my 3-year-old son and other smaller children had to stand because there were no seats available, as the group of Chinese tourists boarded the boat first. I wonder why they let the group in before everyone else.

台風前で強風のため、船がとても揺れましたが、天気は良くて気持ち良かったです。晴れ渡っていたのですが、海中はそれほど澄み渡ってはいませんでした。また、中国人団体客が先に船に乗っているため、3歳の息子も、他のもっと小さな子どもたちもみんな座る席がなくて立たされたままだったのが残念。どうして団体客を先に入れてしまうのか疑問です。

The sightseeing boat is fun just to be on. 水中観光船はは乗っているだけでも楽しいです

Reviewed by: NORIKO

I took a sightseeing submarine for the first time. I was unsure whether to rent a car or take a taxi to the port, but I decided to drive for convenience. The paid parking lot at the port was time-based, but I was able to park for about 400 yen.

I had imagined the sightseeing boat to be a glass-bottom boat, but it was much more stylish. On the way to the sightseeing spot, we passed Naha Airport, where we could enjoy watching planes take off and land up close. Additionally, it coincided perfectly with the arrival of a luxury cruise ship at Naha Port, which made me feel like I got double the experience. Although the underwater visibility was said to be somewhat poor, I had no trouble seeing anything. It was also mentioned that the boat would sway, but since we could breathe fresh air when not underwater, I didn't feel too worried about seasickness (the kids took motion sickness medicine, though). During the underwater sightseeing, it felt like being inside an aquarium, and I saw various fish swimming around. Being on a boat made it feel like we were swimming together with them.

I had requested a meal package, and the hotel buffet was fresh and delicious for my family, who were a bit tired of Okinawan cuisine. Moreover, we were able to use the hotel parking lot for free while dining.

Next time, I definitely want to ride when the visibility is good.

水中観光船に初めて乗りました。港までレンタカーにしようか、タクシーにしようか迷いましたが、便利さから車で行きました。港の有料駐車場は時間制でしたが、大体400円くらいで駐車できました。
観光船は、グラスボートをイメージしていましたが、もっとおしゃれな感じでした。観光場所まで行く途中にも那覇空港があり、間近で飛行機の離発着を楽しむことができます。また、当日は、豪華客船の那覇港入港とちょうど同じ時間帯となり、2倍得した気分になりました。水中視界はやや不良ということでしたが、問題なく見ることができました。また、船が揺れる予想とのことでしたが、水中観光時以外は外気を吸うことができるので、さほど船酔いを恐れることはなさそうです(子供は酔い止めを飲みましたが)。水中観光時には、まるで水族館の中にいるようで、いろいろな魚が見られました。そして船なので、一緒に泳いでいる感じになります。
食事つきのコースをお願いしていましたが、ホテルバイキングは沖縄料理にちょっと疲れ気味の家族には新鮮で、たいへんおいしくいただけました。また、食事をする際のホテルの駐車場は無料で利用させていただけました。
次回は、ぜひ視界良好の時に乗ってみたいです。
