Japan
The voucher exchange was smooth, and there were no issues even when we were cutting it close on time. We were issued seats by the window, which allowed us to get a good view of the shipbuilding area. It's not a new ship, but the seats were quite comfortable, and I felt like I dozed off a bit before we quickly arrived at Fukue Island.
バウチャーの交換はスムーズで、比較的時間ギリギリでも問題なかったです。窓際の席を発券していただけたので、造船エリアなどをよく見ることができました。新しい船ではないですが座席は結構快適で、途中少しうとうとしながら福江島にすぐ着いたという感覚です。
Although the weather was not favorable, I was able to relax and enjoy a nice space. I would like to visit again on a sunny day.
お天気に恵まれず、、でしたが、なかなか良い空間でのんびりゆったり過ごせました。またお天気の良い日に行きたいです。
You can use it for 24 hours from the time of purchase, so there’s no disadvantage regardless of when you arrive in Ishigaki Island. However, this time, I received a printout that only allowed me to use it for 23 hours and 59 minutes from the start of use. I brought this up to the driver, but he insisted that there was no mistake. Since I couldn't get anywhere with that, I called the office, and it turned out that the driver had made an error. As a result, I was able to get it reissued.
購入から24時間使えて、いつ石垣島に到着しても有効期間で不利になることはありません。
が、今回は利用開始から23時間59分しか使えない印字で引き換えとなったので運転士に申し出ましたが間違いないとの一点張り。
埒が明かないので 営業所に電話したら運転士の誤りであることが判明、結果再発行してもらいました。
If you have any unclear points, it would be good to check with the sales office.
不明な点が出たら営業所に確認すると良いでしょう。
It's convenient because you can use it for 24 hours from the time of redemption, not just the purchase date. You can redeem it immediately by simply showing the voucher screen.
購入日だけでなく、引き換えから24時間使えるので便利です。
バウチャー画面を提示するだけですぐ引き換えできます。
Let's prepare the voucher screen in advance so that the bus departure is not delayed.
バウチャー画面は予め画面に準備してバスの発車が遅れないようにしましょう。
In no time, we went from Narao Port to Nagasaki Port. Maybe because the weather was nice, it didn't shake as much as a plane or train. But the price is a bit high... I wish it could be a little cheaper.
あっという間に奈良尾港→長崎港へ。お天気が良かったためか、飛行機や電車より揺れない。でもお高いのはちょっとね・・・もう少しお安くしてもらえたらなぁ。
I thought I wouldn't need the ticket anymore after showing it when I boarded, but it gets collected when disembarking, so please keep it handy to show quickly.
乗った時にチケットを見せるのでもう要らないかと思いきや、下船時にチケットを回収されるので、すぐに出せれるようにしておいてください。
If you check the time properly and take action, it's the best ticket. It costs more than the ticket price for a round trip to the northernmost cape, but this ticket will cover it.
きちんと時間を調べて行動すれば最高のチケットです。最北端の岬往復でチケット代以上かかりますがそれがこのチケットで間に合います。
I didn't print it out, but when I showed the screen of my smartphone at the counter, they processed it right away, and it was very smooth.
印刷していませんでしたが、窓口でスマホの画面を見せたら直ぐに手続きしてもらえて、とてもスムーズでした。
I highly recommend taking advantage of the discounts available.
割引もあるのでぜひ利用することをおすすめします。
The outbound journey was by ferry, but the ferry felt longer and was quite rocky. Honestly, I was more worried about the jet foil, but it was fast and smooth, which surprised me. (Of course, I think it depends on the weather.) The ride was comfortable too!
行きはフェリーでしたがフェリーの方が長時間で揺れを感じました。正直ジェットフォイルの方が心配でしたが、早いし、揺れないしびっくりしました。
(もちろん天候によってなのだと思いますが)
乗り心地も良かったです!
If you prioritize time, then the Jetfoil is definitely the way to go!
時間を優先するなら断然ジェットフォイルですね!
The tickets for Kumamoto Castle are very convenient. You don't need to stand in line to buy tickets on-site; you can simply scan the QR code, which reduces the time spent waiting at the ticket booth.
熊本城のチケットはとても便利です。現地でチケットを買うために列に並ぶ必要はなく、QRコードをスキャンするだけでチケット売り場に並ぶ時間を削減できます。
I was able to board immediately with just the reserved QR code, which was very convenient. The bus driver's announcements inside the vehicle were also polite, making for a comfortable ride.
予約したQRコードだけですぐに乗れたので快適でした。バスの運転手さんの車内アナウンスも丁寧で乗り心地がよかったです。
I searched for a tour to request a viewing from the front row and found one. It was the only shaded seat next to the guest seating. The photos turned out well without backlighting, and there were moments where I stood still to greet the guests, making it a prime spot. Since there were no seats behind me, I was able to pull my chair back and enjoy the view leisurely. However, on the day of the event, I went right to the gate of the meeting place, but there was no one holding a flag, and I felt deceived. I asked around with the Aoi Matsuri staff for about 30 minutes, feeling half ready to give up, and finally arrived at the location as the sixth person. I think it would have been great if they had informed us of the zone in advance.
最前列での見学を求め、ツアーを検索し、見つけました。来賓席の横で、唯一の日陰席だった。写真も逆光にならず、来賓前で挨拶のため立ちどまるシーンもあり、特等席だった。後にも席がなかったので、椅子を下げ、ゆっくり見学できました。ただ当日、集合場所の門の目前に行ったが、旗を持っている人もいなくて、騙されたと困惑しながら、葵祭スタッフの方に聞きまわり、30分
、諦め半分、6人目でようやく現地に着いた。あらかじめゾーンだけでも教えて貰えたら、はなまるだったと思う。
You should go to Zone 1 on the south side of the guest seating area. The meeting place is not directly in front of the gate, and there is no tour company representative holding a flag. Even if you sho
来賓席の南側、ゾーン1に行くべし。集合場所は、門の目前ではないし、旗を持ったツアー会社の人はいない。大声で業者名を叫んでも誰も答えてくれない。ひたすら、オレンジチョッキのスタッフ表示の方に聞き続ける
I was able to purchase tickets a little cheaper than at the window on the day of. If your ferry schedule is already set, I recommend using this option since you can't make online reservations with the ferry company.
当日窓口でするよりも少し安く購入できました。
フェリーは前もって予定が決まっている場合、船会社のネット予約はできないのでこちらを使うのをおすすめします。
It's great that I can buy it cheaper than purchasing at the window on the day. I would like to use it again if I have the opportunity.
当日窓口で購入するよりもお安く買えるのはありがたいです。
また機会があれば、利用したいと思います。
The arrival at Ishigaki Airport and the issuance of the one-day bus pass purchased at the bus stop went very smoothly, and I arrived at the island terminal as scheduled!
石垣空港に到着からバス停で今回購入の1日バス乗車券発券まで非常にスムーズで離島ターミナルまで予定通り到着!
The process from ticket issuance to boarding was very smooth, and I highly recommend it.
発券から乗車まで非常にスムーズでおすすめです。
I was able to check in smoothly thanks to the advance reservation, which was great. I was torn between taking the ferry or the jet foil, but I chose the ferry since it is less affected by the weather. I opted for a second-class reserved seat at the check-in counter and was able to travel comfortably (from Fukue to Narao). Next time, I think I will try using the jet foil.
事前の申し込みで、受付もスムーズにでき、良かったです。
フェリーにしようかジェットフォイルにしようか迷いましたが、あまり天候に左右されずに行けるフェリーを選択しました。
受付窓口で2等指定にして、ゆったり行くことができました。(福江から奈良尾)
次回は、ジェットフォイルを利用してみようかと思っています。
I had my first experience of rafting down the Hozu River. The boatman’s teamwork and storytelling made it a fun experience. I visited during the dazzling season of fresh greenery. The colors of the green and water were wonderful and it was the best. We stopped by a shop along the way and bought some Mitarashi dango, which we enjoyed eating in a spot where the current slowed down.
The boatman also mentioned that the autumn foliage season is even more beautiful, so I was told to consider coming back if I have the chance.
I would love to visit again during the autumn foliage season.
初めての保津川の川下り体験してきました。船頭さんの連携とトークで楽しい体験させて頂きました。新緑の眩しい季節に訪問しました。緑と水の色が素晴らしくて最高でした。途中の売店がきましてみたらし団子買って流れが緩くなるところで食べました。
船頭さんからも紅葉の時期はもっと綺麗らしいので機会あればって言われてました。
秋の紅葉時期にもまた訪問してみたいです。
It will definitely be crowded, but how about on a clear day during the autumn foliage season?
混雑必死ですが秋の紅葉時期の晴れた日にどうでしょうか?
The view from the ropeway and the slight swaying was a bit thrilling and enjoyable. The scenery at the observation deck, which we reached after transferring between two ropeways, was magnificent and amazing. However, it is quite affected by the weather, and by the time we were heading back, fog had set in, making visibility poor.
ロープウェイの景色と揺れが少しスリリングで楽しく、
2つ乗り継いでたどり着いた展望台の景色は雄大で最高でした。
但し天気にはかなり左右されるので帰るころに霧が発生して視界が悪かったです。
The meals may only consist of light snacks, so you might not be very satisfied. Please note that the bus runs once an hour.
食事は軽食しかないのであまり満足はできないかもしれません。
バスは1時間に1本なのでご注意を。
It's fun to see various things in the coolness of the limestone cave, but beyond it, there's a beautiful beach that was completely empty despite it being Golden Week, allowing us to relax in solitude. It's not often found in guidebooks, but it was a really great tourist spot.
鍾乳洞だけでもひんやりした中でいろいろ見られて楽しいですが、抜けた先にとてもきれいは浜辺があって、GWなのにたまたま誰もいなくて貸し切り状態でのんびりできました。
あまりガイドブックで見かけないけど、とてもいい観光スポットでした。
Bringing sandals and a towel might be great for splashing in the water at the beach. Since there are rocky areas leading to the beach, sneakers are recommended.
サンダルとタオルを持参すると浜辺で水にバシャバシャ浸かれていいかもです。
浜辺までは岩場もあるのでスニーカーがオススメ。
It was easy to understand from the reception to the boarding area. Although I didn't specify a seat preference, they arranged seats by the window on the first floor, close to the entrance. This might have been because I was with my mother, who is in her 80s. I would like to use this service again.
受付から乗り場まで分かりやすく良かったです。席の希望を伝えたわけではありませんが、入り口から近い1階の窓際を並びで取ってくださいました。80代の母親と一緒だったからかもしれません。また利用したいと思います。
I was able to purchase the set plan for the metro ticket and teamLab Toyosu at a better price than the official one, which was very helpful. Since it was a reservation in advance, I could enter smoothly with the QR code. There was a designated entry time slot, and I was able to move around the venue smoothly as well.
メトロチケットとチームラボ豊洲のセットプランは公式よりお得に購入出来助かりました。
事前予約なのでQRコードでスムーズに入場できます。入場時間枠が決まっており館内もスムーズに回ることができました。
There is a water area where you can enjoy it barefoot, so tights and stockings are not allowed. Pants that can be pulled up to the knees are recommended. Please be careful as the mirror room reflects
素足で楽しむ水エリアがあるので、タイツやストッキングはNGです。膝まで上げられるズボンが良いです。鏡の間ではスカートの中が映り込むので気をつけてください。どの空間も色鮮やかで美しかったです。
The Umeda Sky Building, which I visited with my mother during the day, was more spacious and refreshing than I had expected. From the Floating Garden Observatory, we could see the cityscape of Osaka stretching far into the distance, enjoying the scenery unique to daylight hours. Despite being in the middle of the city, it had a surprisingly calm atmosphere, and it was nice to spend time chatting with my mother. I thought it was a great spot for a casual refresh.
昼間に母と訪れた梅田スカイビルは、思っていた以上に開放感があって気持ちよかったです。空中庭園展望台からは大阪の街並みが遠くまで見渡せて、明るい時間帯ならではの景色を楽しめました。都会の真ん中にあるのに、意外と落ち着いた雰囲気で、母とゆっくり話しながら過ごせたのも良かったです。気軽にリフレッシュできるスポットだと思いました。
I was very satisfied because I was able to secure a seat at a great deal and quickly buy the tickets. The jet foil is great because it gets you to your destination island in no time!
席を確保できておトクで、サッとチケットが買えるので大満足でした。
ジェットフォイルはあっという間に目的の島に着くので良いですね!
You can't not use this.
これを使わないテはないです
I think it's good to decide whether to take a speedboat or a ferry properly. I was lucky because I could also use points.
高速艇に乗るかフェリーに乗るか、きちんと決めていればいいと思います。
ポイントも使用できるのでラッキーでした
I signed up on-site, and it was really a great deal! ♪ It's easy since you just have to show it. If you're not using a rental car, taking the bus is a must, so I definitely recommend it! ❤️
現地で申し込みしましたが、本当にお得でした♪
さらに見せるだけなので簡単。
レンタカー使用しない方はバス必須なので、絶対おススメ❤️
I went there just after 6 PM in late April. It was still a bit early for the night view, but I sat in a chair by the window and enjoyed the changing scenery for nearly an hour. Since it wasn't crowded, I was able to relax and enjoy the night view.
4月下旬の18時過ぎに行きました。
夜景にはまだ早かったですが、窓際にある椅子に座って景色の変化を楽しみながら1時間近くいました。
混雑もしていなかったので、ゆっくり夜景を楽しむ事ができました。
I used a charter taxi for the first time. I was able to visit all the places I wanted, and when I had extra time, I could also go to the recommended spots suggested by the driver. While I was exploring the destinations, the driver waited in the taxi, which was great because it meant I didn't have to worry about sticking to a strict schedule. If I have the chance again, I would like to use this service.
貸切タクシーを初めて利用しました。行きたい所は全て回れましたし、時間が余った時に運転手さんのおすすめの場所にも行けました。目的地散策中、運転手さんはタクシーの中で待っていてくれるので、予定時間より前後しても問題ないところもとても良かったです。また機会があれば、利用したいです。
If you're worried about driving, it might be better to use it.
運転が心配な人は使ったほうがいいかも
I visited for the first time thanks to VELTRA's points! It had been a long time since I watched the movie, but once I entered, I was completely immersed in the world of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry! There were plenty of experiences and demonstrations that captivated both adults and children alike! The staff were very friendly, engaging with us and providing explanations about hidden details. I really want to read the original books and watch all the movies again, so I’d love to go back for a second visit!
VELTRAのポイントきっかけに初めて行きました!映画を観たのは随分前でしたが、入館するとそこに存在するホグワーツ魔法魔術学校の世界に飲み込まれました!体験できるものやデモストレーションが充実していて、大人から子どもまで夢中になれる世界!スタッフの方々もとてもフレンドリーで話しかけてくれたり教えてくれたり、隠れ設定等も解説してくれたり。
とても原作本や映画を観たくなったので次は全作品観なおして2回目行きたいです!
Even if you haven't read the Harry Potter books or watched the movies, it's still interesting, but I think you'll be even more excited if you watch them again before diving in!
ハリー・ポッターの本や映画を観なくても面白いですが、もう一度観てから入るとより興奮できると思います!
I was able to purchase my ticket in advance using accumulated points and my credit card, and on the day of travel, I just had to show the voucher screen to the driver to exchange it.
貯まったポイントとクレジットカードで
事前に乗車券を購入でき、当日は、バウチャー画面を運転手さんに見せて引き換えるだけでした。
If the smartphone screen is small, it's hard for the driver to see, so it would be better to enlarge it.
スマホ画面が小さいと運転手さんが見にくいので、拡大したら良いです
The ferry was really nice. There's a microwave! Instant noodles on board + drinks. I got the dorm bed and that was easy and comfy. The view was really nice.
Personally for me I had really bad sea sickness 😔 the heating was also way too high indoors so that didn't help. Thankfully I was able to lie down in the dorm bed and sleep it off.
This aside pretty easy and spacious ferry. Internet was great except in dorm rooms (upstairs) were a bit spotty
Remember to bring some snacks!!
Thank you for boading with us. We look forward to welcoming you back again!
The driver was very pleasant, and I appreciate the enjoyable sightseeing experience. There was no sense of overstepping, yet it didn't feel lacking either; it was a perfectly balanced guide.
ドライバーさんがとても感じ良く、気分の良い観光をさせて頂き、感謝です。
差し出がましさ感もなく、かといって、物足りなさも感じさせず、程よい塩梅のガイドでした。
