All Reviews for Cruises

I used the service last November. It wasn't a clear day, but we were able to depart, and since there were no waves, the boat didn't rock, allowing us to see a certain amount underwater. If the boat is not crowded, it's better to look out from the windows on both sides. Depending on the light, the color of the sea changes, and you can see different types of fish. I think I made the reservation the day before or two days before, hoping to join on a nice weather day.

The underwater scenery is beautiful, and there are new discoveries to be made. It's a reasonable experience with a diving sensation, and we also had lunch, making it an affordable and recommended sightseeing option.

昨年11月に利用致しました。快晴ではありませんでしたが、出発できましたし、波がなかった為、船が揺れませんでしたし、ある程度海中を見る事ができました。船が空いていれば、左右両側の窓から見た方が良いです。光の加減で海の色が違ったり、魚たちの種類が違ったりします。お天気の良い日を見計らって参加しようと、前日か前々日に予約したと思います。
海中は美しく、新しい発見があります。ダイビング感覚の体験とランチも頂けてリーズナブル、お手頃な観光でお薦めです。

It was unfortunate that the visibility underwater was a bit poor due to the bad weather, but the underwater scenery was beautiful, and I took a lot of photos. Next time, I plan to check the weather and make a reservation on-site.

天候が悪かったので少し水中の視界が悪かったのが残念でしたが
それでも水中はキレイで写真をいっぱい撮って帰ってきました。
次回は天候をみて、現地で予約して行こうと思いました。

At first, I was anxious, wondering if I had mistakenly booked the wrong tour since I didn't know where I would be able to see the fish from the boat. However, once we arrived at the designated spot, we were guided to the bottom of the boat and were able to see the fish underwater. Although the water was murky, I was glad to see a lot of coral.

最初『船の中から魚が見られる』とは言うものの、どこから見られるのか判らず間違って観光注文してしまったのかと不安に覚えた。だけどポイントに着いてから船底への案内をしてもらい水中の中の魚達を見ることが出来た。
海中は濁っていたけど、多数のサンゴが見られて良かったと思う

Massive blue flames spewing out of pipes the size of tunnels. Looks like the set of a james cameron film. Braw.

I was very satisfied with everything: the food, the cleanliness of the ship, the staff's service attitude, and the cruise course.
It was a course with ample time, so I was able to spend a very relaxing time.
The tempura was freshly fried and incredibly delicious.
It was great that it included all-you-can-drink, sakura mochi, and even fruits.
I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity.

お料理、船内の清潔さ、スタッフの接客態度、周遊コース、全てにおいて大満足でした。
十分な時間のコースだったのでとてもゆったりした時間を過ごせました。
天ぷらが揚げたてですごくおいしかったです。
飲み放題、さくらもち、フルーツまでついていて、とてもよかったです。
また機会があれば利用したいと思っています。

It was very beautiful!
I think it gets really cold from November to March!
I believe what you can see changes somewhat depending on the day.

とってもきれいでした！
11月から3月はすごく寒いと思います！
日によって見られるものが多少変わると思います。

It was soaking wet just about 20 meters from the building to the boarding area. They provided free raincoats, but they were too short, so my lower half ended up a mess... I was informed in advance that visibility wasn't great, and with little rain protection and the cold sea breeze, my spirits were pretty low.

However, when we arrived at the spot and moved to the viewing area below, I was pleasantly surprised to see quite a few people there! Although there weren't as many colorful fish as I had expected, I could see relatively far into the depths, and it was moving to realize that natural fish were living in the vast sea. I've done scuba diving before, but I thought it was great to be able to peek into the ocean without getting wet and without a headache.

建物から乗り場に向かう20m程度でびっしゃびしゃでした。無料でカッパを配布して頂いたのですが長さが足りず下半身はぐちゃぐちゃに。。。視界もあまり良くないと事前に説明があり、あまり雨よけもなく海風で寒いしテンションだだ下がりでした。
スポットに着いて下の展望スペースに移ると、意外といる！！と嬉しかったです。思ったよりカラフルな魚は少なかったですが比較的奥まで見渡せ、広い海に自然の魚が生きてるんだなぁ、と感慨深かったです。スキューバもやったことがありますが、濡れずに頭痛もなく海の中が覗けるのは良いと思いました。

It was my first time to visit japan and ride the cruise for dinner. The staffs are fun, friendly, entertain and international. Don't be afraid if you cannot speak japanese coz they can speak english. The food are really good and delicious.

It seemed like a cruise in the snow due to the weather. It was really cold outside the ship, but the factory's piping and lighting were so fantastical that it felt like a movie set, reminiscent of Mont Saint-Michel. The captain's warm and comforting narration was also delightful. It might be a good idea to include this as a social studies field trip for elementary school students. Next time, it will be the "oden cruise."

雪の中のクルーズとなってしまいそうな天気。船外は本当に寒かったのですが、幻想的でもしかしたら映画のセットかと思える工場の配管や照明が非現実的でモンサンミシェルでした。また、船長の案内もあったかい口調でほっこりしました。小学生のうちに社会科見学として載せておくのが良いかもしれません。次は、「おでんクルーズ」だな。

I selected the factory night view, which had apparently been in the news back in the countryside, for my nephew who came to visit from the countryside. Since he is still in elementary school, I don't think he has learned about "industrial areas" in social studies yet, but I would be very happy if it left a lasting impression on him.

The captain's lively commentary was a lot of fun. At the end, when I boarded the boat and was unsure of the remaining seats, I was seated in a spot where I could see the captain's steering very well. Personally, I felt that was the luckiest part of the experience.

田舎から遊びに来た甥っ子の観光に、以前田舎でもニュースになっていたらしい工場夜景をセレクト。まだ小学生なので、「工業地帯～」とか社会科でも習っていないと思われますが、記憶に残ってくれたらとても嬉しいです。
船長さんの軽快な解説が大変楽しかったです。最後に乗船したら残りの座席が判らずまごついていたところ、船長さんの操舵が良く見える席に座らせていただきました。私個人的にはソレが一番ラッキーだったなと。

Amphibious bus??? I made a reservation online with a sense of wonder. Throughout the journey, the tour guide diligently introduced the scenery, the history of the old streets, and the features of the shrines. Although the cold winter wind made me shiver a bit, the beautiful sights along the way made me temporarily forget the chill. If I have the chance, I would choose to take this ride again in the summer. The Arakawa River, the ducks in the water, and the thrill of splashing into the river—I believe it will be even more enjoyable in the summer. After a 15-minute break, I soaked my feet in a small shop and enjoyed a cup of coffee, feeling gentle and warm. On the way back, we passed through Kameido, and the tour guide provided detailed explanations. It was a delightful journey.

水陸兩用？？？什麼巴士帶著驚奇的心情，在網上預訂了，一路上導遊努力的介紹風景，古街的歷史，神社的風貌，雖然冬天的冷風，吹的有點發抖，但一路的美景，暫時忘掉寒冷，如果還有機會会選擇夏天再坐玩一次，荒川的河流，水中的水鴨，那衝入河中瞬間的快感，相信在夏日會更加舒服，15分鐘的休息，在小店內泡足浴，喝杯咖啡，溫和溫暖，回程途中經過龜戶，導遊詳細的介紹，一次邂意的旅程

I had wanted to try this activity for a long time, and finally, I got to board the boat for the first time. The boat wasn't very large, but it was incredibly fast. However, it can get quite cold, so I recommend staying inside the boat until you enter the canal. The captain's commentary was lively, and I thoroughly enjoyed the views of Kawasaki's Mont Saint-Michel, Howl's Moving Castle, and the night scenery of Minato Mirai 21 from the sea. This is definitely a recommended activity!

以前から試してみたいアクティビティーでしたが念願かなって初乗船です。
あまり大きくない船でしたがスピード抜群、ただしけっこう寒いので運河の中に入るまでは船内でいるのがおすすめです。
船長さんのトークも軽快で川崎のモンサンミッシェルやハウルの城などや海からながめるミナトミライ２１の夜景など存分に楽しむことができるおすすめのアクティビティーです。

It was a day that seemed normal, but there was no shaking, and the visibility underwater was not bad. The viewing spot stayed longer than I expected, so I was able to enjoy it slowly.
The comfort on the boat was also good. I was happy to hear explanations about the scenery visible from the deck.

After that, I had lunch at the Pacific Hotel, which offered a variety of Japanese and Western dishes, and there were plenty of drink options as well, so I was very satisfied.

I would like to use this again when I go to Okinawa.

当日は普通に見えるとうレベルの日でしたが、揺れもなく、海中の視界も悪くなかったです。鑑賞スポットで思ったより長く停滞してくれていたので、ゆっくり楽しめました。
船の居心地もいいです。デッキから見れる景色の説明も聞けるので嬉しかったです。

その後、パシフィックホテルのランチを頂きましたが、これが和洋折衷種類も多く、ドリンクの種類も豊富で、大満足でした。

また、沖縄に行ったら利用したいです。

The captain and staff provided polite guidance and thoughtful attention, making our experience enjoyable. The outdoor seating was popular, but it was cold, so we chose to sit inside. Those outside were also able to borrow blankets. The indoor area was heated, and we could open the windows, allowing us to enjoy the impressive views from inside. It was also a great memory to go out onto the deck and see everything up close! I won't forget the Mont Saint-Michel in Kawasaki (*^^*)

船長さんとスタッフの方の丁寧な案内と細やかな気配りで気持ちよく楽しめました。外の席が人気でしたが、寒かったので私達は中の席へ。外の人もブランケットを貸してもらえていました。室内は暖房がかけられていて、窓を開けることもでき、中からでも充分迫力のある景色を楽しめました。船のデッキに出て間近で見せてもらえたのもいい思い出！川崎のモンサンミッシェル、忘れません(*^^*)

I saw the factory night view for the first time. It was really cold because it was winter, but they provided blankets, and the cold air was clear, allowing us to see beautiful scenery. The detailed explanations and the beautiful views lifted my spirits, and it didn't feel too cold after all!

工場夜景は初めてみました。
冬ということで気温はすごく冷たかったですが、毛布も用意してくださってましたし、寒くて空気が澄んで、逆に綺麗な景色が見れました。丁寧な説明と綺麗な景色でテンションが上がってあんまり寒くなかったですw

I was looking forward to possibly seeing sea turtles based on reviews. On the day of the trip, the weather was partly sunny but mostly cloudy. After completing the check-in, just before departure, the staff announced the visibility level (level 5 being the best). That day, it was level 2, which meant visibility was poor. (I heard level 1 means you can't see anything... maybe we should cancel then.) Once we got out to sea, we moved to the lower deck of the boat. The visibility was indeed as the staff had said, bad... But even with that, we could see some things. Mainly corals, small fish, and sea snakes, with the occasional larger, less cute fish. Haha. I definitely think it's best to go during the peak season on a sunny day. I suggest not rushing your reservation; it might be better to check the weekly weather forecast first. Also, even if it's hot in town, it can be quite windy on the boat, so I recommend bringing a jacket.

口コミで、運がよければウミガメが見られるかも…とのことで、楽しみにしていました。
当日、天気はいくらか晴れ間が見えるものの曇り。受付を終わらせ、出発直前にスタッフから視界のレベルの発表がありました。(レベル５が最高)
この日はレベル２。見えづらい、とのこと。(レベル１は見えないらしい…それ、中止にしようよ)
船で沖に出たところで船内の地下に移動。視界は、スタッフの言う通り悪い…。
でも悪いなりに、それなりには見えました。
主にサンゴと小魚と、ウミヘビ。たまに大きめのかわいくない魚。笑
やはりベストシーズンで天気のいい日に行くのがいいと思いました。
予約は急がず、週間天気予報を見てからでも遅くないかなと。
あと、町は暑くても、船上は結構風が強いので、上着の持参をオススメします。

I just went!

I had been longing to experience the "Factory Night View Exploration Cruise" since I saw it on TV, and this time it was the monthly Honmoku-Negishi course.

For 90 minutes, the captain provided commentary while steering the boat. The factory night views I saw for the first time felt like scenes from a near-future movie.

Wearing a life jacket and standing at the bow, seeing the industrial area up close was a culture shock. It was so surreal that I forgot I was in Yokohama.

The boat moved at various speeds, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which added to the thrill and made it the best experience.

At first, I thought the captain's commentary might be pre-recorded, but I was moved to find out it was all live. The explanations were very easy to understand.

My two friends were also extremely impressed!! As the one who organized it, I felt so proud.

行ってきました！

テレビで観てから憧れていた「工場夜景探検クルーズ」今回は月一度の本牧・根岸コースです。

船長さんが運転をしながら、コースの解説をすること90分。初めて観る工場夜景は、映画で観た近未来の映像のよう。

ライフジャケットを着ながら、船首の上に立ち、工場地帯を近距離から観た時はカルチャーショックを受けました。幻想的で横浜であることを忘れました。

船はスピードがある時や、ゆっくり進む時ありと様々。スリルもありと最高でした。

最初はテープかな？と思っていた船長さんの解説ですが、全て生ライブとわかり感動です。とても分かり易い解説でした。

友人二人も大感激!!
企画した私は鼻高々でした。

It was our first boat ride with our child who just turned 4 years old. Since it was a windy day, we were informed during the boarding instructions that the fish would be hard to see.

We were allowed to move freely between the first and second floors until we reached the point to see the fish. It was a bit cold, but our child, who loves rides and was experiencing a boat for the first time, was very excited!

When we arrived at the point, we entered the underground room where we could see the fish. I wasn't expecting much since we were told visibility would be poor, but there were actually quite a few fish! I was worried about seasickness, but it turned out fine.

While on the boat, there was a continuous explanation about the Orca, but it was a bit disappointing that the engine noise and other sounds were too loud to hear it well. I would like to ride again next time when the water clarity is better!

4歳になったばかりの子供を連れて初乗船でした。風が強い日だったので乗船前の説明でお魚は見えにくいとのことでした。
お魚を見るポイントに着くまでは1階と2階は自由に行き来して良かったです^o^
少し寒かったですが乗り物が大好きで船も初めて乗った子供は大興奮でした！！
ポイントに着くとお魚が見える地下のお部屋に入ります♪見えにくいとのことだったので期待はしていませんでしたが、結構沢山お魚さんはいました♪船酔いするか心配もしましたが大丈夫でした^o^
船に乗ってる間オルカ号の説明がずっと流れているんですが、エンジン音などその他の音がうるさくてあまり聞こえなかったのが残念です。
次回はまた透明度が高い時に乗ってみたいです♪

Hi,
I was a little skeptical while booking the Underwater Sightseeing cruise . Saw a lot of reviews and choose this tour. I am so happy that I choose this tour. It was a perfectly sunny day with high tide. The tour organizers informed that the visibility level is low, even before the tour begun. We were made to travel in the boat for 15-20 minutes into the Sea, before being asked to get to the seabed observation deck that opens up only after the boat reaches a particular area in the sea.
My kids loved what they saw - It was absolutely beautiful to watch the amazing underwater seabed with its own flora/fauna , fishes. Its so much different from what we get to see in an aquarium like Churaumi. This is LIVE & pretty much Alive ! Though the organizers told us that visibility is going to be low, it was much better than we initially thought of. The Boat takes a full circle allowing the guests to have a full view of the ocean floor.
I would recommend anyone to take this boat ride & have great fun. The kids will absolutely enjoy it !

We participated as three generations of our family. The boat's sway was at level 4 out of 5, but it wasn't as shaky as I had expected. However, I wish the water had been a bit clearer. After the cruising, we had a lunch buffet at the hotel. The hotel was close to the port, and the food was delicious.

親子三代で参加しました。船の揺れは、レベル５のうち、レベル４でしたが、思ってたほどの揺れではなかったです。ただ、もう少し透明度がよかったらなと。
クルージングの後は、ホテルでランチバイキング。港からもホテルが近く、料理も美味しかったです。

The food was good, could do with a bit more, but the drinks are in abundance. The hostess on the night was friendly, knowledgeable and inclusive. The diners on the next table were so much fun, despite minimal English. I would definitely recommend the cruise.

At night, the view of Odaiba and the Tokyo Skytree from a yakatabune on the Sumida River is just beautiful! ✨ It's a different kind of splendor compared to the view from the ground. They even give you time for photos, and the food is quite delicious! Especially the tempura of the sweetfish—so good! I became friends with people I didn't know just moments ago. Shared yakatabune experience is the best! ✨

夜、屋形船で隅田川から見るお台場やスカイツリーのなんて綺麗なこと❕✨地上から眺める景色とはまた一味違う華やかさです。ちゃんとお写真タイムもとってくれるし食事も普通に美味しいし❗特にきすの天ぷら❗ちょーうまい❗さっきまで知らなかった人ともうお友達乗り合い屋形船 最高です❕✨

I participated on a Sunday in early September. The departure was at 17:50. I thought it might be a bit early for sunset, but it turned out to be the perfect timing. I was able to enjoy the transition from dusk to the beautiful night view.

The night view of the factories was stunning, even for those of us who aren't particularly into "factory aesthetics." It was great to see the flames from the chimneys that I usually only viewed from the Bayshore Line while driving. Being able to see them up close and hear the sound of the flames was a wonderful experience. I realized there were so many ways to enjoy this.

I was also happy to see the Tsurumi Line stopping at Umashibaura Station from the water, and I appreciated that we were able to wait for the timing when the illumination of Cosmo Clock changed. During such moments, the captain made the effort to bring the boat closer and even stopped for a few minutes for a photo opportunity. As many others have mentioned, the captain's commentary was very enjoyable, easy to understand, and engaging. I believe everyone was able to hear the explanations without being drowned out by the sound of the boat's engine.

The cruise lasted an hour and a half, which felt just right—not too long at all. It’s a perfect sightseeing option for a summer night.

As for the seasickness I was worried about, I didn't feel nauseous from the boat's rocking. (In fact, it didn't rock continuously, and whenever it did sway significantly, the captain would inform us, saying, "We will sway a bit now.") However, the smell of exhaust fumes was a bit bothersome... but I quickly forgot about it once I got off the boat (laughs).

You will need to wear a thick life jacket for the upper body. Depending on your clothing, it might be a bit uncomfortable, so it might be good to keep that in mind.

I took all the pictures with my smartphone. If you’re careful to avoid shaking, you can get decent shots even with a smartphone! I took photos with both a compact camera and my smartphone, but the smartphone ones turned out to be prettier.

9月初旬の日曜日に参加しました。
出船は17:50。まだ日没にはちょっと早いのでは?と思いましたがベストタイミングですね。
日暮れから夜景のキレイな時間までの変化を楽しむことができました。

工場の夜景。特に『工場萌え』ではない私たちでも十分に美しいと思える景色でした。
普段は湾岸線から車で見ていた煙突の炎....
あれが間近で見られ、炎の燃えるゴーという音を聞けたのも良かったです。
こんな楽しみ方があったのだな…と気付くことがたくさんありました。

海芝浦駅に停車する鶴見線を海上から見られたり、コスモクロックのイルミネーションが変化するタイミングを待ってもらえたのが嬉しかったです。
こういう時は船長さんの判断でわざわざ船を近付けて見せてくれたり、数分止まって撮影タイムを設けてくださいました。
また皆さんもおっしゃっていますが、船長さんの解説がとても楽しく、わかりやすく、興味をひく話題でした。
船のエンジン音でかき消されることもなくて、全員が解説を聞けていたと思います。

1時間半のクルーズでしたが、長すぎることもなくちょうど良かったです。
夏の夜にはもってこいの観光ですね。

尚、心配していた船酔いでしたが、船の揺れでは酔わなかったようです。
(実際に終始揺れたりはせず、たまに大きく揺れる時は船長さんから「数回大きく揺れます」と その都度教えてもらえました)
ただし排気ガスの臭いで少々…
それも船を降りてしまえばすぐに忘れてしまいました(笑)

上半身は厚手のライフジャケットを着用となります。
服装によっては着づらいこともあるので、着用することが念頭にあるといいかもしれません。

画像はスマホですべて撮りましたｖ
スマホでもなるべく手ぶれしないよう気をつければこの程度撮れますよ！
コンデジとスマホ、両方で撮りましたが、スマホの方がキレイに撮れていました。

Me and my girlfriend decided to go on a trip to ride on a underwater sightseeing cruise. It was really easy to find the place and it's about a 45 minute drive from kadena if your taking the expressway from kadena going to Naha and about an hour going 58 depending on how the traffic flow would be. Anyway, I'd say it's been an average experience cause we didn't exactly have of good view underwater cause of the unexpected weather so the sand under the water is everywhere but it was amusing on how the crew brings out the fish towards you, you'd be on this boat that carries about 20 to 30 people out to the ocean It was about 5 miles out of the port to reach our destination and has a way to go below the boat with seats in the middle and has glass on both sides so you can see the fish, I was really surprised and me and my girlfriend really enjoyed it but I got sea sick after 10 minutes of staring at the fish which took us a total of 1hr and a half tour.

It was difficult to make a reservation in advance. I had heard that there were many foreigners. Even when I tried to make a reservation directly, it was quite challenging, but I was able to easily book through this site. Additionally, there were many foreigners on the vehicle, and the meeting place felt like it could have been at the Eiffel Tower in Paris due to the number of foreigners. On the day of the experience, the weather was also favorable, and I had a great time.

事前に予約が困難なこと。外国人が多いことを聞いていました。直接予約をしても中々予約ができなかったのですがこのサイトからは簡単に予約ができました。また、車内は外国人が多く、集合場所はまるでパリのエッフェル塔での集合場所かな？と思わせるほど外国人が多かったです。当日は、天候にも恵まれ楽しい体験ができました。

It was my first cruise, and I had a wonderful time. It was also my first time in Okinawa, and with favorable weather, I experienced this with my family, feeling a bit anxious at first. However, we were able to enjoy ourselves immensely.

Before boarding, I had some worries about seasickness and hoped there would be fish to see. But once the cruise started, there was hardly any rocking of the boat, and I didn't get seasick at all. I could sit back and elegantly gaze at the sea, and other passengers were also smiling and enjoying themselves.

Near the boarding area, there was an airport where we could see planes taking off and landing, which was very exciting. Through the glass windows, we could see various types of fish, and with the guide's explanations, I learned a lot about them, which was fascinating. The fish with six stripes was particularly impressive. However, since the explanations were only in Japanese, I was a bit concerned whether the foreign guests understood.

The duration of about 50 minutes was just right, but if I could wish for more, I would have liked to see fish at another spot. It was such a fun experience, and my family and I had a valuable time together. By the way, near the boarding area, there was a diner where we could enjoy delicious, affordable, and hearty meals. The staff at the diner informed us about it, allowing us to have a good meal before departure. Overall, the staff's attentive service was greatly appreciated, especially since it was our first time for so many things.

Next time I come to Okinawa, I would like to participate in a cruise with a lunch voucher. Thank you very much. Additionally, this trip was a memorial for my mother, and I greatly appreciated the accommodating response to our sudden changes, which made for very good memories.

初めてのクルーズでしたが、とても楽しい時間を過 初めての沖縄、初めてのクルーズ、天候にも恵まれ初めての沖縄、初めてのクルーズということで、親親子共々少し不安ななかでの体験でしたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。
船に乗る前は、船酔いしたらどうしよう‥‥魚がいなかったら悲しいな‥‥などと、少し不安な気持ちもありました。しかし、実際にクルーズが始まると、
船の揺れもほとんどなく、船酔いはしませんでした。椅子に座って優雅に海を眺めることができ、他の乗客の方々も笑顔で過ごされていました。
乗り場の近くには飛行場もあり、飛行機の離着陸が見られたことも、とてもワクワクして楽しかったです。ガラス張りの窓からは、いろいろな種類の魚が見え、添乗員さんの説明もあり、魚のことを知ることができておもしろかったです。特に、６本の線がある魚が印象的でした。ただ、説明が日本語だけだったので、外国の方は理解できているのかなとちょっと気になりました。約５０分間という時間も丁度よかったのですが欲を言えば、別のポイントの魚も見てみたかったです。それくらいとても楽しく、親子で貴重な体験をすることができました。ちなみに、船の乗り場の近くには、安くて美味しくボリューミーな料理が堪能できる食堂もありました。その食堂は受付の方が教えてくださり、出発前に腹ごしらえをすることができました。全体的にスタッフの方々の対応が丁寧で、いろいろと初めて尽くしの私たちにはとてもありがたかったです。
今度、沖縄に来た時はランチ券付きのクルーズに参加したいと思います。
ありがとうございました。
また、母の追悼旅行でしたが、急な変更にも快くご対応していただき、大変良い思い出になりました。

I had been interested for a while and participated in the factory night view tour. The captain's talk was warm and enjoyable, making the 90 minutes fly by.

It was so much fun that I plan to join the tour at Haneda Airport next.

前々から気になっていて工場夜景ツアーに参加しました。
船長さんのトークがほんわかしていて、楽しくて、あっという間の90分でした。

あまりにも楽しかったので、次は羽田空港のツアーに参加予定です。

To board the large passenger ship Orca, which has an underwater viewing room, you first head to the waiting area at Naha Port, located about a 15-minute walk from Asahibashi Station on the monorail (Yui Rail). When we visited, the left side was under renovation. Upon entering, there is a display next to the ticket counter showing "Today's Water Quality, Today's Swell" in stages. This display has five levels, and we were at the second lowest level (a state with some swaying and slightly murky water).

After waiting for a while, we boarded the ship, which headed to a point suitable for underwater viewing. During the journey, we enjoyed the blue sky, sparkling sea, and refreshing sea breeze from the upper deck. Upon arrival at the point, we descended to the underwater viewing room, where we could observe the seabed through glass. The room has benches in the middle, with guests seated on both sides.

What should have been a beautiful view of coral and tropical fish in a deep blue fantasy world was unfortunately not the case for us. It seemed we had bad timing, as the sign indicated that the sand on the seabed was stirred up, resulting in a slightly murky view. Coral and tropical fish were barely visible. It is said that after a large typhoon passes, the seabed changes to this state.

If the seabed were calm, the underwater viewing room on the Orca would be enveloped in a fantastical world. There are also plans that include lunch, so if the timing of the ocean currents is right, this optional tour could be a meaningful Naha experience that combines cruising and underwater exploration.

海底を除く地下室のある大型客船オルカ号に乗車するには、まずモノレール（ゆいレール）の旭橋駅から徒歩15分ほどの場所にある那覇埠頭の待合所へ向かいます。私たちが訪れた際は左側が改修工事中でした。中に入りますと窓口の横に「今日の水質、今日の揺れ」が段階的に示された案内が設置されています。この案内は５つのレベルがありまして、私たちは下から二番目（ある程度揺れがある状態、海が濁っていて少し見にくい状態）の状態でした。

しばらく待機した後は船に乗り込みます。船は海底鑑賞に適したポイントへと向かいます。その間、私たちは上の階から青い空ときらきら光る海、そして爽やかな潮風を堪能します。ポイントへ到着すると地下室へと降り、ここでガラスを通じて海底を鑑賞します。部屋は長椅子が真ん中にあり、両側に客が座るような構造となっています。

この窓から見るも美しい、サンゴと熱帯魚が舞う紺碧の幻想世界が広がっているーーはずだったのですが、残念ながら私たちはタイミングが悪かったようです。看板の案内にあった通り、海底の砂が巻き上がっているようで、少し濁った状態でした。サンゴや熱帯魚はほんのりと見える程度のものです。大型台風が過ぎた後は、海底がこのような状態へと変わるのだと言います。

穏やかな海底であれば、このオルカ号の地下室はファンタジー溢れる世界に包まれる事でしょう。昼食付きのプランもありますので、海流のタイミングが良ければ、こちらのオプションツアーはクルーズと海底探査を兼ねた意義のある那覇体験になると思います。

an awesome experience for our kids and we really enjoy it :-)

The beauty of the night view of the factory and Minato Mirai from the seaside was remarkable, and the captain's navigation and announcements were warm and enjoyable, making for a very fun night!

海側から見る工場やみなとみらいの夜景の美しさもさることながら、船長さんのナビ&アナウンスが温かくて楽しくて、とっても楽しい夜でした！
