All Reviews for Cruises

You can check the situation on the bulletin board on the day. Last time it was LEVEL-4 and I couldn't see anything at all, but this time it was 3. The lunch at Nest Hotel was delicious, and I recommend the ice cream dessert with chinsuko. I think it's a good thing that it's not from a famous ice cream company in Okinawa.

当日の様子を掲示板で確認､出来ます｡前回はLEVEL-4で全く見られず､今回は3でした｡またネストホテルのランチも美味しかったし､デザートのアイスはちんすこうがお勧めです｡沖縄で有名なアイスクリームの会社ではないのが､逆に良かったと思います｡

This cruise was nothing short of an amazing experience. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was plenty and delicious, and the views were simply stunning!

I came to Okinawa for a 2-night, 3-day professional baseball camp. It's easy to plan since it's close to Naha Port. The lunch option is an additional 500 yen, which is quite a bargain. The water clarity was level 3, but it was clearer than I expected, so I enjoyed it. The boat hardly rocked, so I didn't have to worry about seasickness.

2泊3日プロ野球キャンプで沖縄に来ました。
那覇港と行きやすい場所で、プランを組みやすいです。
ランチ付きはプラス500円のため、かなりお得です。透明度はレベル3でしたが思っていたよりも見えたので楽しめました。
船もほぼ揺れませんでしたので、船酔いは心配いりませんでした。

It was my first time with children, and they were very happy. The lunch at the hotel afterwards was also satisfying. I think it's a great value plan.

子供とは初めてでとても喜んでくれました。
そのあとホテルでのランチも満足です。
お得な内容のプランだと思います。

We ended our Japan tour with this cruise and it was nice to relax and try unique foods.
Very nice tour!

It took about 15 minutes to move to the spot, and then we went to the viewing room at the bottom of the boat.

The water clarity is rated 3 out of 5. You can check this during the check-in before departure.

While the clarity wasn't very high and there weren't many fish to admire, I think it was sufficient for the participation fee. I recommend the option that includes lunch.

移動に15分程、スポットに到着してから船底の観賞室へ移動。

海の透明度が5段階のうち3番目。出港前の受付時に確認出来ます。

あまり透明度が高く無く、魚も見惚れる程は居ませんでしたが、参加料からすれば十分だと思います。ランチ付きがオススメですね。

After about 20 minutes, we went out to sea and spent just under 15 minutes in the underwater basement, listening to the commentary on tape while enjoying the coral reefs and fish. On that day, the sea's visibility was moderate, and the boat's rocking was also moderate, but I think it would have been more enjoyable if the weather had been a bit better and the visibility higher.

約20分で沖に出て、水中の地下室にいるのは15分弱、テープで流れる解説を聞きながら、珊瑚礁や魚を鑑賞しました。
当日は、海の透明度が中程度、船の揺れも中程度とのことでしたが、もう少しお天気がよくて透明度が高いと楽しめたかな。

Took this cruise back in May and we still talk about it now! It was amazing to see the factories lit up at night time and the boat stopped next to some of the more interesting ones so that we could have a closer look. We hope to return to Japan someday and if we do, we will definitely book this trip again. Thank you so much!

The wind was strong, and the water was murky, so the conditions weren't very good.

However, the boat ride to the point was pleasant, and even though the water was cloudy, I enjoyed the atmosphere, so it was nice.

Also, the lunch buffet at the Pacific Hotel was delicious.

I hope to go again when the visibility is better!

風が強く、海中は濁っていたので、あまり状態は良くありませんでした。

が、ポイントへ行くまでの間の船旅が気持ちよく、濁ってはいたものの、雰囲気は楽しめたので、良かったです。

それからパシフィックホテルのランチバイキングがおいしかったです(^^)

また透明度の高い時に行けたらな～と思います。

The weather was nice, and it was very pleasant to feel the breeze on the deck. The visibility in the sea was lower, but we could still see the coral reefs and schools of fish. The cleanliness on the ship was good, but there were quite a few people that day. Sitting on the middle deck had a stronger smell of diesel, so those who are prone to seasickness should be cautious.

天氣好在甲板吹風很愉快,海中能見度較低但也看的到珊瑚礁及魚群.船上清潔不錯,但當日人有點多.
坐在中層柴油味較重,但暈船者要留意.

We spent a week in Tokyo and this ended up being one of our favorite things about the trip. Amazing service, great food and all you can drink. Tokyo bay is very beautiful at night and this cruise lasted over 2 hours taking us to several nice view points where we could snap photos from the upper deck. Our main host for the evening was Kaoruko, she was so nice and friendly making sure the food was to our liking and made sure we always had a drink in our hand. She would explain the different areas of the bay we were exploring in both Japanese and English so that we could understand. Anyone visiting Tokyo should fit this cruise into their itinerary.

We happened to encounter a typhoon that had just passed, so the sea was quite murky, but we could still see the coral reefs on the seabed. Normally, the underwater scenery should be amazing. The hotel lunch we purchased was also very tasty. It was only a 5-minute drive from the port, so overall, it was a great experience. We'll bring our child back when she's a bit older.

剛好遇到颱風剛過，海水很濁，但是還是看得到海底的珊瑚礁岩，正常海底的景觀應該會很棒，搭配購買的飯店午餐也很好吃，離港邊很近開車5分鐘而已，整體而言是很棒的經驗，等小孩再大一點會再帶她來。

I participated with my 5-year-old son! On the day we boarded the Orca, the wind was strong, so the water looked murky. There was an announcement before we got on the boat.

As we set off, the boat was fine, but when we stopped to see underwater and entered the lower room, the boat swayed more than I expected. We could see the fish, but my son had a serious expression and gave up halfway. I'm glad we were able to see some of the underwater world, but I want to try again on a clearer day! 😊

5歳の息子と2人で参加しました！
オルカ号に乗った日は風が強く吹いていた為、海中は濁って見えます。
と船に乗る前にアナウンスがありました。

いざ出発、船の上は平気でしたが
海中を見る為、停泊し地下の部屋に入って見ていると思っていた以上に船が揺れて魚は見えているのですが、息子は顔が真顔になっていき途中断念。。
少しでも海中を見れて良かったですが、また視界良好な日にリベンジしたいと思います(^^)

Naha Harbor is a very interesting place, with a lot of interesting buildings and ships. The boat was very comfortable and the crew very friendly. The underwater viewing area is inside the harbor, making it much smoother and more comfortable, but the variety of fish is astounding. The crew drops food and then moves over the area so that the fish swarm for you. A huge number of fish swarm for you. Hundreds of them. Very amusing to watch.

While there are no interesting underwater structures or tropical looking fish, it is still fun and was especially appreciated by the families with kids. They really enjoyed the antics of the attracted fish.

This is a great way to see Tokyo at night. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. Even though their English was limited they made sure the evening was great for us. The food was delicious and gave us a chance to sample different types of food. Definitely recommend

The cruise itself was ok and underwater coral reef is amazing.

It was rainy when I went on the cruise so didn't get to see much.

The worst part is the location of the meeting venue. The building was under construction and if you don't read Japanese, it's hard to find.

Don't expect English.

The yakatabune (houseboat) is used for various purposes, and this is my first time here. It's stylish in many ways. There was a sunken kotatsu, but we had chair seating during our visit. My foreign friend was delighted! However, the sunken kotatsu allows you to feel the movement of the waves more directly. Compared to others, it feels more elegant and doesn't have a rustic vibe. The all-you-can-drink system is well-organized; they bring drinks when you order instead of self-service. It's a nice cruise dinner experience. Oh, and there was a smoking area too!

屋形船はいろいろ利用していて、こちらは初めてです。
いろいろな意味でおしゃれ。掘りごたつとありましたが、我々のときは椅子席。
外国人の友人と一緒だったので喜ばれました！
しかーし、掘りごたつのほうがダイレクトに波の動きを感じられる。
他と比べるとおしゃれです。泥臭い感じがありません。
飲み放題も自分ではなく、ちゃんとオーダーすれば持ってきてくれるシステム。
おしゃれなクルーズディナーと思えばよし。
あ、喫煙所もあったし！

Since it was my first time at Onuma Quasi-National Park, I thought it would be good to check the geography, so I made a reservation. Despite the light rain, the boat departed as scheduled with a small number of passengers. While laughing at the guide's jokes, the 30 minutes flew by, and I learned a bit about the history of Onuma Park before we arrived. It seems that in winter, there are ice sledding tours available, and I thought I would like to try that if I get the chance. We had planned to cycle around Lake Onuma afterward, but since it was raining on and off, we decided to walk around based on the points the guide had shared along the route. If you plan to take the train round trip from Hakodate Station, I recommend checking the timetable in advance as there are few trains. Although we couldn't do it, if you extend your trip a bit to Mori Station from here, you can enjoy that delicious ika-meshi (squid rice).

初めての大沼国定公園だったので、先ず地理を確認する上でも良いかなと思い予約。あいにくの小雨の中、少人数ながらも船は予定通り出発。ガイドの人の冗談に笑いながら、あっという間の30分でしたが、少し大沼公園の歴史を学び到着。冬は氷上そりツアーが出来るらしく、機会があれば試して見たいと思った。この後大沼湖をサイクリングする予定だったが、雨が降ったり止んだりだったので、ルートに沿いガイドさんに教えてもらったポイントを元に歩いて一周する事に。函館駅から往復電車で行く場合は本数が少ないので、事前に時刻表を確認する事をオススメ。私達は出来なかったが、ここからちょっと足を伸ばして森駅まで行くと、あの美味しいイカメシが食べられる。

Even though the typhoon passed three days ago, I couldn't see anything due to the aftermath. It would have been nice to have a refund or a ticket for the next visit. I hope to see a beautiful ocean next time.

台風は3日前に去っていても余波で何にも見えませんでした。返金か次回観れる券があると良かったです。次回は綺麗な海をみたいです。

I saw something in the sea, was it a damselfish? Where is the coral?
I can't hear the announcements!
I have to go to Yanbaru in Okinawa!

海のなかに、見えたのほは、スズメダイ？珊瑚は、どこ？
アナウンス聞こえない‼️
沖縄も、やんばるへ行かないと、駄目です‼️

I signed up for this just two days ago after arriving in Okinawa. I participated with my two children, so there were four of us in total. The sea was incredibly beautiful, and while the view from the water was naturally stunning, I was also able to see the fish up close. It was a refreshing experience that made me forget the scorching heat outside. I highly recommend it.

沖縄現地に入ってから、二日前に急遽申込みました。子供２人と共に４人で参加しました。
海は非常に綺麗で、海上からの景色も当然綺麗ですが、魚も手に取るように見え、外の灼熱の暑さを忘れる、清々しい気持ちに包まれました。お薦めです。

The boat cruise was very enjoyable. We had a big group and the staff was friendly and enthusiastic. The sights of Tokyo from the water was wonderful. The show near the end of the cruise was entertaining. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is the quite underwhelming menu. The main dish was tempura, with maybe 4 pieces total. One shrimp. One. Another dish had 3 pieces of sashimi. The rest consisted of small dishes. In the photos, you can see crab legs and a huge plate of sashimi, which is very deceiving. My son was starving when we left. I have a friend who did a yakatabune a week prior with another company and he spoke of crab legs and plateful of sashimi. I guess the big draw is the all you can drink portion of the cruise. If you ordered the food anywhere else in Tokyo, it would probably cost 2000 yen. The staff, ambiance, and the people we were with made the cruise worthwhile.

The limited-time discount made it a great deal at 7,800 yen for my spouse and one child. I think the time spent underwater was about 15 to 20 minutes. Since it was in coastal waters, the visibility wasn't as good as I had hoped. I recommend it for families with small children.

期間限定割引だったので夫婦と子供一名で7800円はお得でした。水中を観られる時間は15〜20分くらいだったかと思います。近海なので透明度は期待したほどでなかった。小さなお子様連れにはオススメ。

After 50 years in the shipping industry, the veteran captain's announcements, who has dedicated himself to the sea and ships in various forms, were outstanding! I felt truly lucky to see the train departing from the "station closest to the sea," which is only accessible to plant staff, along with the flames of the factory I had always dreamed of. This mysterious night view is sure to become addictive!

海運にたずさわること50年、さまざまに形を変えながら、海に、船に尽くしてきたベテラン船長さんのアナウンスが最高でした！夢だった工場の炎と、プラントの職員しか利用できないという《海にイチバン近い駅》から発車する列車を見られて本当にラッキーでした。このミステリアスな夜景はクセになりそうです！

The cruise was well organised and had an English speaking host which was helpful as the crowd was split about 50/50 of locals to tourists. The food was excellent and the drinks were free flowing - loved the plum wine! We had the opportunity to head onto the top deck of the boat to take photos and enjoy the views of Tokyo. There was entertainment and it was just overall a really pleasant evening. I highly recommend this tour.

Since I used it on a midsummer day, everything was hot when I got in, and it was difficult to fasten the seatbelt. However, once we got onto the public road, it was cool, and the guide provided enjoyable commentary, making the time fly by. If I had to wish for something, it would be that the time spent driving in the river was a bit short, so I would have liked a little more of that.

真夏日に利用したため、乗ったときはシート等全てが熱くて、シートベルトするのも大変でしたが、公道へ出ると涼しく、また、ガイドさんが楽しく解説付きでお話してくれるので、あっという間でした。
ただ欲を言えば、川の中での走行が短かったので、もう少し増やしてもらえたらと思いました。

As the reviews said, the food was delicious, and the staff were very kind. What surprised me the most was that the neighboring table had place cards and appetizers prepared, but it seemed they were canceled and did not board. However, every time a type of tempura was served, it was also plated for that table. My Korean friends who came with me were impressed by this as well. We had a great time throughout our visit.

口コミ通りお料理も美味しく、従業員の方もとても親切でした。何より驚いたのはお隣のテーブル席に席札や前菜などの用意がされていましたがキャンセルされた様で乗船されなかったのですが一種類ずつ天ぷらがあがる度にそちらへのテーブルにも盛り付けられていた事です。一緒に行った韓国のお友達夫婦もこれには感心していました。終始楽しく過ごせました。

The interior was narrower than I expected. It was nice to be able to go up to the bow. It might be difficult for those who get seasick because it sways when it picks up speed.

思っていたより船内が狭かった。船首まで出られたのは良かった。スピードが出ると揺れるから酔う人には難しいかも。

I was able to enjoy an extraordinary view of the coastal industrial area from the sea. The flames from the plants were impressive and could be viewed from the boat. It's a must-see. The captain's guide was relaxed and entertaining as well. Next, I would like to see the takeoff and landing views at Haneda Airport.

　海浜工業地帯を海側から望むことができ、非日常的な光景を楽しむことができました。プラントからの炎は、船外から鑑賞することができてとても迫力がありました。必見です。
　船長さんのガイドも、ゆるくて面白かったです。
次は、羽田空港の離着陸の景色を見てみたいです。

Unfortunately for me the weather was turning bad that day so the water was a little murky but they posted a sign saying how clear the water would be and how stable the boat would be and it was accurate. I had a fabulous time and inwould recommend anyone to take this tour. The lunch at the hotel was nice I liked that they had shabu shabu, but mostlynit was Chinese style foods.
