I made it from square clay, and the staff helped me, making it possible for people of all ages to create! It's a great memory from Okinawa.

四角い粘土から作成しましたが、お店の方が一緒に手伝ってくださり、年代問わず作成できました！
沖縄のいい思い出です。

I made a same-day reservation, and they responded quickly. They suggested the best times to capture beautiful views based on the weather conditions of the day. They also provided pose suggestions and shared various information about Miyako Island. After the shoot, they retouched the photos, so I received them a couple of days later.

当日予約しましたが迅速に対応してくださいました。当日の天気の状況から綺麗に見える時間を提案してくれます。
ポーズの提案や宮古島について様々なことを教えてくれます。
撮影後レタッチしてくださるため2.3日後に写真が送られてきます。

I was surprised to see so many foreigners when I visited after a long time. Also, the ticket display was hard to understand, and even the staff didn't seem to know what to do when I showed them the screen, which caused delays at the reception. The park had various renovations, and it was enjoyable.

久しぶりに行くと外人ばかりで驚きました。
あとチケットの表示がわかりにくく、画面を見せてもスタッフの方もわかっていなくて受付に時間がかかりました。
園内は色々とリニューアルされていて楽しかったです。

There was a long line even to enter, and the inside was quite crowded. Since time was limited, I just took a quick look around and that was it. It's located away from the city center, and while you can get there by bus, I only recommend it to those who can plan their schedule with some flexibility. This was my third time in Okinawa, and I thought about visiting the famous Churaumi Aquarium at least once, but now I'm feeling like once more would be enough.

入場までも並び、館内もかなりの混雑。
時間が限られていたこともあり、ざーっと見ただけで終わってしまいました。
中心部から離れており、バスでは行けますが、余裕を持ったスケジュールが組める人にのみお勧めします。
沖縄は3回目で、一度くらい、かの有名な美ら海水族館へと思いましたが、もう一度でいいかなと言う感じです。

It's close to the airport, making it a convenient stop on the way back. Since there's an Aeon store attached, you can also buy souvenirs. It's indoors, so we were able to enjoy it even on rainy days.

空港から近く、帰りに寄れる場所です。
イオンが併設しているので、お土産も買えます。
屋内なので雨の日でも楽しめました。

The location used for Ayu's music video shoot! It's a bit of a distance from the airport, but there are few people around, and it's a wonderful place that leads from a limestone cave to the sea. It's mystical and moving! (^_−)−☆

あゆのPV撮影に使われた場所！
空港からは少し距離があるけど人も少なく
鍾乳洞から海へ続く素敵な場所でした
神秘的で感動です(^_−)−☆

The photographer was amazing! 😭👏✨ They also suggested great poses, and we got the best photos. We even saw shooting stars! At the end, they sent a list of recommended locations, which was very helpful. Thank you for everything from start to finish!

カメラマンさんが最高でした😭👏✨
オススメのポーズの提案もしてくださって
最高の写真が取れました
流れ星も見れました
最後にオススメの場所を一覧で送ってくれて
参考になりました。
最初から最後までありがとうございます。

The weather on the day was great, and we were able to see the Milky Way beautifully, making for a truly satisfying photo shoot.

Additionally, the photographer was very friendly, creating a fun atmosphere throughout the shoot, which allowed us to relax and enjoy ourselves naturally.

Wearing white clothing really stood out against the starry sky, and the photos turned out beautifully!

The shooting location had some uneven ground, so I recommend wearing comfortable and stable shoes like sneakers.

Thank you for the wonderful memories!

当日は天気も良く、天の川も綺麗に見ることができて、本当に大満足の撮影でした。

また、カメラマンさんもとても気さくで終始楽しい雰囲気で撮影できたので、緊張せず自然に楽しめました。

白い服で撮っていただいたら星空にすごく映えて写真がとっても綺麗でした！

撮影場所は少し足場が悪いところもあったので、スニーカーなど歩きやすく安定した靴で行くのがおすすめです。

素敵な思い出をありがとうございました！

The teacher was very kind and taught us in a way that even beginners could enjoy it with peace of mind! I was able to learn "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," and I had the valuable experience of being taught phrases from other songs as well. I was also very satisfied with the memories created from the video and photo shoots while wearing the rental costumes!

優しく先生が教えてくださり、初心者でも安心して楽しめました！きらきら星を習得できたので、他の曲のフレーズを教えていただけたりと貴重な体験ができました。
貸衣装を着ての動画、写真撮影など思い出も残って大満足です！

The day we initially reserved was cloudy, and I was worried about whether we would be able to see the stars in this weather. However, I received a message and was able to reschedule for the next day.

Although the stars were hidden again the following day, the photographer was persistent, and we were able to see a beautiful starry sky and have some lovely photos taken. As we've aged, my spouse and I haven't had our pictures taken by a photographer, but looking at the finished photos made me glad we decided to do it. I hope to visit again during the season when the Milky Way is visible. Thank you very much.

当初予約していた日は曇ってしまい…このお天気で星が見えるのかな…と心配していたところ、ご連絡をいただき翌日に振り替えてもらうことができました。

翌日も星が隠れてしまいましたが、カメラマンさんが粘ってくださり、綺麗な星空を見ることができ、素敵な写真を撮影してもらうことができました。
年齢を重ねて、夫婦でカメラマンさんに写真を撮ってもらうことはなくなりましたが、出来上がりを見てお願いして良かったと思いました。
天の川が見れる季節にまた伺えたらいいなぁと思っています。
ありがとうございました。

Although I had seen Eisa before, I had never experienced it, so I decided to give it a try. Even though I made a reservation at the last minute the day before, I was warmly welcomed.

First, we put on the costumes, and after learning about the origins and key points, the instructors kindly and patiently guided us, a senior couple with poor rhythm, to dance Eisa to the music. We had a lot of fun and enjoyed the experience.

I also felt that the instructors were friendly and easy to talk to, which added to the positive experience. This became a wonderful memory of our trip to Okinawa. I think I will challenge myself to try it again next time.

エイサーは見たことはあっても体験したことはなかったので一度体験してみようと言うことで
急遽前日に予約を入れたにも拘わらず暖かく迎えて頂きました。
まず衣裳をつけてから由来やポイントを教えて頂いたあと
リズム感の悪い私たち高齢夫婦にも親切丁寧にエイサーを曲に合わせて
和気あいあいと指導していただき大変楽しめました。
また、人柄もよく話しやすかったのも良かったと感じました。
今回の沖縄旅行の良い思い出となりました。
また、次回もチャレンジしようかと思います。

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。

I had the opportunity to take elementary school children to experience sugarcane harvesting. We got to bite into the sugarcane we harvested ourselves and enjoyed drinking the juice that was extracted using a machine.

In addition to the experience, we also learned about the differences between traditional and modern harvesting methods, which are not often discussed. It was a valuable experience.

サトウキビの収穫体験を小学生の子どもを連れてさせていただきました。
自分達で収穫したものをかじったり、機械で絞ってジュースで飲ませてもらいました。

体験以外にも、
昔の収穫方法と現代の収穫方法の違い等、
なかなか聞くことのできないお話も聞かせていただき、
貴重な体験をできました。

Overall, it was disappointing. It might be due to the schedule. The pose options were limited, so I should have decided on my own. If I take photos again, I will choose a different place.

全体的に期待はずれ。日程もありそうだけど。
ポーズ指定薄めだから自分で決めるべきだった。
次撮るなら別のところにする。

The photographer was kind and easy to talk to, making the time fly by. The starry sky was beautiful, and I'm currently waiting for the photos, but I'm really looking forward to them.

カメラマンさんが親切で会話しやすく、時間が過ぎるのが早かったです。
星空も綺麗で現在は写真待ちですが、とても楽しみです。

The sight of the whale shark swimming gracefully in the vast aquarium tank is breathtaking. There was also a wonderful dolphin show that I enjoyed.

膨大な水族館の水槽で、悠々と泳ぐジンベイザメの姿は圧巻です。
素晴らしいイルカショウもあり楽しめました。

don’t purchase this voucher if you have suica on your phone because it might charge your suica when you try to scan the QR code as you exit the station, (it also does not let you know that this happens so that you can notify the train station staff in time until after long after you’ve left the station )the QR code took a while to load due to poor Internet service so it also delayed travels. I was not made aware of this when I purchased the voucher that I should not have suica on my phone until after the purchase . I only rode the monorail twice and was charged on my suica for one of the rides (so ended up spending about 1100 yen for just 2 rides) and did not feel that I got value for what I purchased.

We wanted to create some memorable moments on our honeymoon, so we booked this tour. On the day of our reservation, we were shocked to find out that our booking had not gone through, which made us quite anxious. However, when we called, they kindly accepted us for the next day, which was a huge relief.

On the day of the shoot, they took us to a less crowded location, and we were able to take beautiful photos in a calm atmosphere. When there were others being photographed before us, we were offered a chair to relax in and even got to enjoy stargazing, which was truly moving. It was the first time I had seen such beautiful stars.

The photographer was friendly and provided detailed advice on poses, allowing us to feel comfortable and have fun during the shoot. We are extremely satisfied with the final results!

新婚旅行で何か思い出に残したいねって話してこちらのツアーを予約しました。
予約当日に、まさかの予約が取れていないことが発覚して焦りましたが、電話したところ翌日なら対応可能と快く受け入れてくださり、とても助かりました。

撮影当日は、人の少ない場所へ案内していただき、落ち着いた雰囲気の中でとても素敵な写真を撮っていただけました。私たちの前に撮影されている方がいた際には、寝転べる椅子に座らせていただき、星空鑑賞までさせてもらえて感動しました。こんなに綺麗な星を見たのは初めてです。

カメラマンさんも気さくで、ポーズのアドバイスも丁寧にしてくださり、安心して楽しく撮影できました。仕上がりも大満足です！

It was my first experience with the sanshin, and I felt like I was able to touch upon Okinawa's traditional arts thanks to the kind instruction I received. 😊 I recommend it for those considering a different kind of trip to Okinawa beyond just the beach!

初めての三線体験でしたが、親切に教えていただき、沖縄の伝統芸能に触れた気がしました😊
海だけではない違った沖縄の旅をお考えの方にはオススメです！

The location and timing for the shoot were blessed with great weather, allowing us to see many stars, which was thrilling. We had more shooting time than expected and were able to capture five poses, and I was satisfied with the data provided. After the shoot, we talked about dining and sightseeing spots in Miyako Island, and I received information via LINE as well. The service was excellent, and I was very satisfied!

撮影する場所・時間が天候に恵まれ沢山の星が見られ感激。
思ってた以上の撮影時間で5ポーズを撮って頂きデータも満足するものでした、撮影後も宮古島での食事・観光ポイントの話しをしたりLINEでも情報をもらい、とっても良い対応をして頂き大満足！

I purchased the tickets on the day I went to Okinawa World, and they sent me the QR code in about 30 minutes, so I was able to exchange it for the tickets without any issues. The limestone cave was beautifully lit up, and I enjoyed the Eisa performance so much that the 30 minutes felt too short.

おきなわワールドに行く当日に購入しましたが、30分程でQRコードを送付してくれたので、問題無く当日チケットに交換する事ができました。
鍾乳洞はライトアップされ綺麗で、エイサーも30分が短く感じる程楽しめました。

The QR code is displayed immediately after purchasing the ticket, so it was convenient to buy it while in the car on the way there.

And indeed, there aren't many aquariums of this scale, and watching the gentle swimming of the whale sharks is very soothing.

It was a weekday afternoon in early April, but it was still quite crowded, making it difficult to enjoy the other tanks leisurely. I also wish something could be done about the large bags carried by foreign visitors. There were several moments where I felt it was dangerous due to the dark and narrow passages.

チケット購入後即時QRが表示されるので、向かう車の中で購入できて便利でした。

そしてやはりこの規模の水槽は他にはあまりなく、ジンベイザメのゆったりとした泳ぎを見ていると癒されます。

4月上旬平日の昼間でしたが普通にしっかり混んでいて、他の水槽はゆったりとは見れません。大荷物の外国人もどうにかしてほしい。暗くて通路が狭いところもあるので危ないと感じる場面が何度かありました

I was able to work more enjoyably than I had imagined. In fact, I was about 10 minutes late arriving. Moreover, I ended up going over the scheduled time by about an hour. Even so, the staff kindly accommodated my daughter, who was working hard. They provided excellent support in areas where she struggled.

想像以上に楽しく作業ができました。
実は10分ほど、到着が遅れてしまいました。
しかも、作業も1時間ほどオーバーしてしまいました。
それでも、一生懸命に使っている娘のために、スタッフの皆さんは和やかに対応してくださいました。
上手くできないところは、さすがのフォローをしてくださいました。

I had a photo shoot on the 17th! Despite the last-minute reservation, they responded quickly, which was a great help. It was my first time having my picture taken, and I was nervous, but they explained everything thoroughly and suggested poses, allowing me to enjoy the shoot! The photos I received are also very beautiful, and I am extremely satisfied! Thank you very much!

17日に撮影をしました！
直前の予約にもかかわらず、すぐに対応していただき助かりました。
写真を撮ってもらうのは初めてで緊張していましたが、丁寧に説明してくださり、ポーズも提案していただけたので、楽しみながら撮影することができました！
届いた写真もとても素敵で、大満足です！
ありがとうございました！

My friend and I had a great time at the Okinawa Kenpo Karate Dojo. As beginners with little to no experience in karate, we found the sensei who facilitated the class to be very patient while teaching us the fundamentals of the art.

We booked the appointment a few weeks in advance through the Veltra website and were able to pay the fee ahead of time. You can rent a “gi” on site for 1,000 JPY in cash per set.

The location was also easy to find. We used Google Maps to locate the dojo, and it took us straight to the exact spot in Nago. If you go as a group, you should definitely carpool because the parking lot for the dojo is limited.

Make sure to be present & have fun. After our session they took pictures of us with different weapons and poses.

Overall, It was a beginner-friendly experience that we would recommend to people of all ages, regardless of their familiarity with karate. We were honored to be taught by Sensei Matsuda Tatsunori and to experience the beauty of traditional Okinawan karate.

I had a sugar cane harvesting experience with my 3-year-old daughter! We were 30 minutes late due to traffic on the highway, but we were grateful to have the opportunity to participate.

Wearing gloves and holding a sickle, we searched for delicious-looking sugar cane and cut it! I assisted my daughter, and she managed to cut it well. After removing the leaves, we washed the cane and made juice with a juicer. We enjoyed biting into the cold sugar cane and drinking the fresh sugar cane juice. They also shared a lot of information about sugar cane, making it a valuable experience. The sugar cane was sweet, but it had a gentle sweetness, possibly due to its rich minerals, and we enjoyed chewing on several pieces.

The personality of the staff was warm, and the assistants were kind, making it a wonderful time that truly felt like Okinawa. Thank you very much!

3歳娘と共にサトウキビ収穫体験しました！
高速道路の渋滞のため30分遅れてしまいましたが体験させていただきまして、感謝でした。
軍手をつけて鎌を持って美味しそうなサトウキビを探していただき切断！娘には補助に入りつつ上手く切断できました。
葉っぱなどを取ってから洗って絞り機でジュースにしました。氷で冷たくしたサトウキビをガシガシ噛んだり、サトウキビ生ジュースを飲んだり、サトウキビについてのおはなしもたくさんしてくださり、貴重な体験ができました。サトウキビは甘いのですがミネラルが豊富なのか優しい甘さで何個もガシガシと噛んで味わいました。
ハルサーの方の人柄も温かく、補助の方も親切で、沖縄だなあと感じられる素敵な時間でした。ありがとうございました！

I parked at the Tenbus parking lot and went straight up to the store before heading to Kokusai Street for sightseeing. As soon as I entered, they recommended ice cream and snacks. Since it was winter, there were no tourists around. I asked about "Okinawa World" since I was going to the southern part the next day, but there was no introduction at all. Maybe they were busy. What a shame.

てんぶすの駐車場に止めて、国際通りの観光に行く前にそのまま上に行き店舗へ。
入ってすぐアイスクリームとお菓子を勧めてくれました。
冬なので観光客は誰もおらず、
翌日に南部へ行くので「沖縄ワールド」について尋ねましたが、何の紹介もありませんでした。
忙しかったのかな。残念。

You can meet not only plants but also squirrels, capybaras, and goats. I was also able to participate in the bird performance show at just the right time.

植物だけでなく、リスさん・カピパラさん・ヤギさんにも会えます。
バードパフォーマンスショーにもタイミングよく参加できました。

I used it for the first time. It was warm on the day, and since it wasn't crowded, I was able to look around without any stress. The illumination was nice.

初めて利用しました。当日は暖かく、空いてたのでストレスなく見て回れました。イルミネーションは良かったです。

I was tired from walking, so I was grateful to be able to rest in the break area. Also, I learned a lot about the activities in Atami, which was very helpful.

歩き疲れていましたので、休憩スペースで休むことが出来助かりました。又、熱海のアクティビティにつき、色々と教えて頂き、ても役にたちました。
