All Reviews for Tickets

Veltra made it possible for me -- as a foreigner with no Japanese language -- to reserve a private room on the overnight ferry from Hakata to Fukue. I'm so grateful for this, because it would've been very confusing to try and book it in person. It doesn't seem like a common route for foreigners.

TIPS FOR FELLOW TRAVELERS: look for "Terminal 2" Hakata Port on google maps, because there are multiple "Hakata Ports" and you don't want to end up at the wrong one.

Once you're at the terminal, head upstairs and wait in line to pick up your actual tickets. There are two lines - the left one is for passengers with vehicles and the right is for passengers only. The VELTRA voucher doesn't function as a ticket, so you have to pick up the actual tickets.

The ferry itself is very clean, quiet, and has multiple vending machines for snacks and drinks (including hot coffee and beer). There is a shower room, but no towels, so make sure to bring your own. Slippers are provided.

If you're large like me (188cm), I would highly recommend booking a twin room for yourself. It was very spacious and I had a great night's rest, considering the ferry begins making stops around 3 AM and you definitely feel it.

For what you get, the price is extremely fair. I actually was worried the booking might be wrong, because it seemed too cheap for a private room (compared to ferries in Europe and the USA). But it all worked out and I got everything that I paid for (and more)!

They were kind and attentive, and my daughter quickly became attached to them. They shared stories unique to the locals and were flexible with the schedule and plans.

優しく丁寧で、娘も直ぐに甘えていました。地元の方だからこその話もあり、時間やプランも融通してくれました。

The local driver shared stories about both the old and new aspects of the area while driving. They slowed down at places we wanted to see! They were always easygoing, never showing any displeasure, and even expressed concern about our plans after returning to the hotel, which I truly appreciated.

地元の方だからこその事から古き事まで話しながら運転してくれました。
観たい所では減速してくれました！いつでも、おおらかで、嫌な顔もせず、さらにはホテルに帰ってからの事も気にしてくれて恐縮です。

The driver was very kind and friendly, which was a great experience. Within the specified time, I was able to visit the places I wanted and also had photos taken. When there was extra time, the driver recommended places and restaurants, which were all very delicious.

とても親切で気さくなドライバーさんで当たりでした。指定した時間内で自分の行きたい場所 そして写真も撮ってもらえ また時間に余裕がある時はドライバーさんおすすめの場所やレストランも紹介していただきとても美味しかったです。

I was able to make a reservation before boarding the plane, and while waiting for my luggage at the airport, I went ahead to the information desk and managed to pick up my ticket just in time by 6 PM. Since I had already paid with my card for the reservation, it was smooth and convenient to just pick it up. I also entered the aquarium without any hassle. Reservations are required, but I highly recommend the backstage tour.

飛行機乗る前に予約でき、空港到着して荷物受け取りを待つ時間、私だけ先にでて、案内所に向かい、ギリギリ18時までになんとかチケットを受け取れました。
事前予約は、カード払いで支払いを済ませてるので、受け取るだけだからスムーズでありがたいです。
水族館の入館もスムーズに入れました。
予約がいりますが、バックヤードツアーがオススメですよ。

In March, I visited Okinawa with my wife for the first time in 30 years. Last time, we toured the main sightseeing spots by rental car, so this time we used a sightseeing taxi for the first time, focusing on "Yachimun no Sato," which I had always wanted to visit. We were able to enjoy a leisurely sightseeing experience at my wife's pace, as she has weak legs. When I tried to purchase a Yachimun piece I liked, I realized I didn't have my wallet! I had left it in the hotel security box. Just when I was about to give up on the item I really wanted, the driver kindly offered, "Shall I cover it for you?" Thanks to him, that piece is now decorating our tokonoma at home. Every time I see it, it reminds me of Okinawa. In Nago, he took us to a direct store run by the fishing cooperative, where we enjoyed incredibly fresh and delicious seafood. Thank you very much.

3月に妻と30年ぶりに沖縄を訪れました。前回にレンタカーで主要な観光スポットを回りましたので今回はかねがね行きたいと思っていた"やちむんの里"をメインに初めて観光タクシーを利用しました。足の弱い妻のペースに合わせたのんびり観光ができました。気に入ったやちむんを購入しようとしたら財布がない？ホテルのセキュリティボックスにいれたままでした。どうしても欲しい品、あきらめかかっていた時見かねた運転手さんから「立替ましょうか？」との一言。お陰で今それは
我が家の床の間を飾っています。見るたび沖縄を思い出させてくれます。名護では漁協直営店に案内して下さり驚く程新鮮で美味な海鮮を満喫できました。
ありがとうございました。

I made a reservation to catch the cherry blossom season. The cherry blossoms along the river were just a step away, but I enjoyed it. It seemed a bit long for the kids 😅. The boatman's stories and skills were perfect👌.

桜の季節を狙って予約しました。川沿いの桜はあと一歩でしたが、楽しめました。子供達には少し長かった😅ようですが。
船頭さんのお話も技術もバッチリ👌でした。

The weather was clear with calm waves and no rain or wind. The cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and I would love to come back. It's an island with mostly churches, but everyone was kind, which was great.

雨風もなく波穏やかで晴天でした。桜満開いうことなしまた来てみたい。教会ばかりしかない島ですがみんな親切でよかったです。

I was able to exchange my tickets at a counter that was very close to the airport as soon as I arrived. I went at the end of March, and there was almost no line. I was able to enter the Churaumi Aquarium smoothly, which allowed me to make effective use of my limited time during the trip. I highly recommend it!

空港に着いてからすぐ近くにあるカウンターで引き換えができました。3月末に行ったのですが、ほぼ並ぶこともなかったです。
美ら海水族館へも、スムーズに入場できて、旅行中の限りある時間を有効に使うことが出来ました。
とてもおすすめです！

I think people who don't rent a car will be using the bus, but the 5-day free pass is a great deal, so I recommend purchasing it.

レンタカー借りていない人はバス移動だと思いますが、５日間フリーパスはお買い得なので購入した方がいいと思います。

It was a bit pricey, but the driver was very polite and kind, which was great. I will use the service again if I have the opportunity.

少々割高ですが、ドライバーさんがとても丁寧で、親切な方で良かったです。
また機会があれば利用させてもらいます。

It was a busy time with many passengers during spring break, but the procedures went smoothly, so we didn't have to keep the people behind us waiting. I would like to use this service again.

春休みの時期で乗船客が多い時期だったが，手続きがスムーズに行くので後ろの人を待たせずに済んだ。また利用したい。

It was very convenient! Definitely worth the purchase! I used it a lot while traveling by bus. I would like to buy it again! The driver was also very kind.

すごく便利でした！買って損なし！バスで回って使いまくりました。また買いたいと思います！運転手さんも優しかった

On November 25th, I visited during the peak of the autumn leaves. The boatman's storytelling was so entertaining that it created a fun atmosphere filled with laughter throughout the trip. Since it was late November, by the time we arrived in Arashiyama, I was completely chilled, but I was able to warm up both my heart and body with some hot sake from the onboard shop. I highly recommend visiting during the autumn foliage season.

１１月２５日、紅葉真っただ中に行きました。とにかく、船頭さんの語り口調がおもしろく、終始笑いが途切れない楽しい空間を作ってくださっていました。
１１月後半ということもあり、嵐山につく頃には体も冷え切っていたのですが、船上の売店で熱燗をいただき、心も体もあたたまることができました。紅葉シーズンがおすすめです。

After checking out, I was picked up and taken to the hotel, visited the Himeyuri Monument, had lunch on Kokusai Street, and was then dropped off at Naha Airport.

We passed through American Village, which was so cute and beautiful that I thought I would like to come back here next time.

Kokusai Street was conveniently accessible, and even though I didn't have much time, I was able to enjoy lunch and shopping without feeling rushed.

It was raining, so I was also lent an umbrella.

I will definitely use this service again when I visit Okinawa next time. I am grateful for the meaningful time on my last day. Thank you very much.

チェックアウト後のホテルまで迎えに来ていただき、ひめゆりの塔、国際通りでランチ、首里城見学し那覇空港まで送っていただきました。
途中アメリカンビレッジを経由していただいて車窓から眺めたのですが、次はここへ来ようと思えるほどかわいくてきれいな場所でした。
国際通りもアクセスのいい場所で降ろしていただいたので時間に余裕がなかったのですが焦ることなくランチと買物ができました。
雨が降っていたので傘も貸していただきました。
また次に沖縄を訪問する時も利用させていただきます。最終日に有意義な時間となり感謝しています。ありがとうございました。

In the morning, I was picked up at the hotel, and we first purchased tickets at the Kyoda Roadside Station. We then visited the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium, and on the way back, we had lunch at the Kyoda Roadside Station again before being taken back to the hotel. During the trip, we talked about various interesting topics related to Okinawa. I wasn't sure about the time allocation, but I received advice that allowed me to enjoy sightseeing at a comfortable pace. I think I will ask for your services again when I visit Okinawa next time. Thank you very much for your help; it became a wonderful memory.

朝ホテルに迎えに来ていただき、最初に道の駅許田でチケット購入、美ら海水族館を観て復路はまた道の駅許田にてランチ、その後ホテルまで送っていただきました。
道中いろんな沖縄の話をしてくださり興味深くお聞きしました。
時間配分が分からなかったのですが、アドバイスをいただき余裕を持って観光を楽しむことができました。
また次に沖縄を訪問する時はお願いすると思います。
大変お世話になり、ありがとうございました。おかげでいい思い出となりました。

Since we were a group of 13, it was convenient not to have to purchase tickets on-site. With the influx of tourists, it's nice to have a stress-free entry, even if just for that moment. Picking up at the airport was also easy.

13名での観光でしたので、その場でのチケット購入をしなくて良いので、楽でした。インバウンドでどこも混み合うので、入る時だけでもストレスフリーなのはうれしいです。空港受取りも簡単でした。

The ship itself was comfortable and stable, but since our schedule ended early, I tried to change to an earlier shipping time, but it was only possible until the day before.

船自体は揺れもなく快適でしたが、予定が早く終わったので船便を早い時刻に変更しようとしたら前日迄でした。

I was unsure whether to rent a car since I was moving around the island, but choosing a sightseeing taxi was a great decision. The driver shared a lot of information about Okinawa Island, and when I was unsure about tourist spots, he quickly guided me to recommended places. It was very relaxing, and I’m really glad I used the sightseeing taxi. I was able to explore freely and made it to the airport on time, enjoying the sights without getting bored. I'm really happy with my choice to use this service.

島内を移動するのでレンタルか迷いましたが、観光タクシーにしたことで運転手の方から沖縄本島のことを色々と聞けたり、観光場所に迷っていたらおすすめの所をすぐに案内してくれて、とてもゆったりと回れて観光タクシーを利用して本当に良かったです。
自由に回ることができて飛行機の時間にも間に合い、空港まであきることなく観光できてて利用して良かったです。

This is my second time using it. It's helpful that I can receive my boarding pass immediately by showing the voucher at the counter.

2度目の利用になります
バウチャーを窓口で見せると，すぐに乗船券を受け取ることができるので助かります

It was convenient to be able to make a reservation with a specified date and time, so there was no need to worry about waiting in line for tickets. I recommend checking the weather forecast before making a reservation for the Tokyo Skytree.

日時指定して予約できるのでチケットの行列の心配か要らず便利でした。
スカイツリーは天気予報チェックしてからの予約がお勧めです

I have a driver's license, but since I don't have much driving skill, I opted for a sightseeing taxi. The driver took us to the places we wanted to go in a planned manner and shared interesting facts about Okinawa along the way, making our sightseeing enjoyable. Additionally, the driver was knowledgeable about parking and photo spots in Okinawa, allowing us to move smoothly without wasting time. It was great!

免許は持ってるけど、運転技術があまりないので観光タクシーにしました。自分達が行きたいところに計画的に行ってくださり、沖縄の豆知識も所々教えてもらい、楽しく観光できました。また、駐車場や、写真スポットなど、沖縄に理解ある運転手さんが素早く運転して下さるので時間ロスせず、スムーズに行けて良かったです！

The validity period is long, so if you pick it up at the airport and prepare in advance, you can enter the aquarium without waiting in line, which is reassuring.

有効期間期間がながいので空港で受け取り、前もって用意すれば水族館で並ばなくていいので安心して入れます。

This time, we discussed visiting Shuri Castle and the Himeyuri Monument on the way to the airport during our return flight.

I really appreciated the guidance provided within the company, and I was able to hear various stories while at Shuri Castle, which was a lot of fun.

Since we had some extra time, we were also taken to nearby recommended sightseeing spots, making for a fantastic final day of sightseeing. Thank you very much! 😊

今回は、帰りの飛行機の間に首里城とひめゆりの塔にを経て空港に向かって頂くご相談をしていました。

ご丁寧に社内でもガイドなどしていただき、首里城ないでも色々とお話をお伺いする事ができて、凄く楽しかったです。

時間が余ったとの事で、近くのお勧め観光地なども連れて行って頂き、最終日に最高の観光ができました。本当にありがとうございます😊

Is it smaller than the last time I visited? It seems that they are undergoing significant renovations, and it felt quite compact. A new area is set to open around January next year, so it might be better to visit then. The location guide tour, which included discussions about the three-dimensional maze and filming, was interesting, so I recommend it.

以前行った時より狭い？？
と思ってたらやはりかなり大幅な工事をしているようで、こじんまりしていました。
来年一月頃には新しいエリアがオープンするようなのでそらから行く方がいいかもしれないです。
立体迷路、撮影などの話を聞きながらのロケ地ガイドツアーは面白かったのでおすすめです。

Upon arriving at Ishigaki Airport, I quickly found the bus stop for another company's curry tour bus and then turned back to wait for the bus at the Toei Bus stop. After a few minutes, it started to rain, but there was a roof, so I didn't get wet, and the weather was just right, so it wasn't a bother.

The bus first stopped in front, and I boarded from the front after showing the driver my smartphone voucher. At first, he seemed puzzled, but when I explained that I purchased the ticket online, he asked me to enlarge the voucher, which I did. He also asked for my name, and once I provided it, he issued my ticket.

There was a sticker from Veltra in front of the leftmost seat, which reassured me. I think I was the only one using it. Since I could use points and earn points, I felt it was definitely more economical to purchase here, but there seems to be a risk if the flight doesn't operate on the day of travel. It seems you can cancel up until the day before. I felt a little nervous about that.

If you round trip from the airport to the bus center within 24 hours, I think this option is a good deal. I actually wanted to stop by other places, but due to the rain clouds, it was pouring on that day, so I gave up on everything. I would like to use this service again if I have the opportunity next time.

石垣空港到着、
すぐに乗り場を見つけ他社のカリー観光のバス乗り場まで行ってUターンして東バスの乗り場でバスを待つこと数分、雨が降ってきましたが屋根もあり濡れることもなくちょうど良い気候だったので苦になりませんでした。
バスは前に一旦止まってからパックしてきて前側より乗車、運転手さんにスマホのバウチャーを見せて最初は何それ的な感じでしたがWebでチケットで購入したんですよと伝えるとバウチャーを拡大してくれと言われたので拡大してみせました。
また、名前を聞かれたので伝えると
チケットを発行していただけました。
左側一番前の席の前にベルトラの貼り紙が
あったので安心しました。
利用しているのは自分一人だったと思います。
ポイントも使えポイントも付くので絶対にこちらで購入した方がお得だと感じましたが当日飛行機が飛ばなくて利用できない時はリスクがありそうです。
前日までであればキャンセルできるみたいです。
ちょっとだけドキドキしました。
空港からバスセンターまで往復すると
24時間以内ならこちらがお得だと思います。
本当は立ち寄りや他に行きたいところもありましたが当日は雨雲の影響でかなりの雨が降っていたので全て諦めました。
次回も機会があれば利用したいです。

As soon as I arrived in Okinawa, I was able to book online and obtain my tickets at the airport. It was great to have everything planned smoothly and affordably.

沖縄に到着してすぐ、空港でウェブから予約、チケットを入手できました。
スムーズに、お得に予定が決められてよかったです。

I purchased it because I will be making two round trips from the airport to the bus terminal. I think it's a great deal since I was also able to use the bus for other trips.

空港からバスターミナルを2往復するので購入しました。それ以外にもバスを利用出来たのでとってもお得だと思います。

I was able to use it with peace of mind, without any troubles. Thank you very much. I would like to use it again next time.

特にトラブルもなく、安心して利用できました。ありがとうございました。また、次回も利用したいと思います。。

I was able to see a lot of fish! My 2-year-old child was so excited that he was making sounds of joy (laughs). I usually get seasick easily, but I didn't feel particularly unwell this time. The duration was just under an hour, which was perfect.

たくさんの魚を見る事ができましたよ！2歳の子供も唸り声をあげて喜んでました（笑）船酔いしやすい私も特に気分が悪くなることはありませんでした。時間も１時間弱なのでちょうど良かったです。
