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。

Not only was I grateful for the gift of Blue Seal's cup ice cream, but I also appreciated receiving sanpin tea and snacks!

ブルーシールのカップアイスのプレゼントだけでなく、さんぴん茶やお菓子も、もらえてありがたかったです！

In the morning, I visited the Himeyuri Monument, and in the afternoon, I entered Okinawa World. I also enjoyed the shows. The walking distance might be quite a bit, but it turned out to be just the right amount of exercise.

午前中にひめゆりの塔を訪れ、その午後に入場しました。
食事は、おきなわワールド内でいただきました。
ショーも楽しめました。
歩く距離は結構あるかもしれませんが、ちょうど良い運動になりました。

I used the tickets to visit the Churaumi Aquarium, Southeast Botanical Gardens, and Okinawa World. Not only were they a great deal, but I also didn't have to wait in line at the ticket counter, which made it convenient and saved me time.

チケットを利用し、美ら海水族館、東南植物楽園、おきなわワールドに行きました。お得なだけでなく、チケット窓口に並ばなくても良いので、楽で時間節約にもなりました。

I used Veltra for optional tours during my trip. For this trip to Okinawa, I only utilized the one-day pass for the Yui Rail, which I highly recommend. Previously, I used a bus tour that included Churaumi Aquarium, and I recommend that as well.

During some free time with my companions, we stopped by the Veltra salon. The staff were very kind and attentive, and we were treated to Blue Seal ice cream and sanpin tea. I would like to continue using this service for future travels and daily enjoyment.

I had Blue Seal ice cream, snacks, and tea! The Blue Seal ice cream was delicious and I could choose from various flavors!

ブルーシールアイスと、お菓子とお茶をいただきました！ブルーシールアイスは味が選べておいしかったです！

I couldn't believe that I could get Blue Seal ice cream for free, but it was true. There were several varieties to choose from. I also received free juice and snacks, and I was able to relax and enjoy my time. Thank you very much! ♪

ブルーシールアイスが無料でいただけるなんて本当？って思いましたが、本当でした。
種類も何種類かあって選べました。
ジュースやお菓子も無料でいただけ、ゆっくりさせていただきました。
ありがとうございました♪

The staff kindly and patiently guided me, allowing me to proceed smoothly. It became a wonderful memory, so I highly recommend it.

スタッフの方に優しく丁寧に教えてもらいながら、進めることができました。とてもいい思い出になったので、おすすめです。

I went to Miyako Island from the 24th to the 26th. My reservation was for after 10 PM on the 25th... The weather forecast showed clear skies on the 24th, heavy rain on the 25th, and since I would be leaving on the 26th, I contacted them on the day of arrival to see if I could change my plans to the 24th. They kindly accommodated my request, and I really appreciate it! Thanks to them, I was able to see an incredibly beautiful starry sky!

The location was a coastal parking lot. It was completely dark without any lights, and when I got out of the car and looked up at the sky, a stunning view of stars that I couldn't see in the city spread out before me, and I was moved! A photographer came and guided us to the coast for a photo shoot. They also asked about my preferences for silhouettes. After checking the images we took, the shoot wrapped up, and they taught my son how to use the camera and how to take photos with an iPhone, which made me very happy.

The next day, I received many images after corrections were made. The starry sky was far more beautiful than I had imagined, with stunning colors, resulting in breathtaking images. This will definitely be a cherished memory! Thank you very much.

24日〜26日にかけて宮古島へ行きました。
予約が25日の22時以降、、、
天気予報が24日が晴れ。25日大雨、26日は帰ってしまうので、ダメ元で24日に変更出来ないか、当日着いてから連絡をし、急遽予定を変更してもらいました。対応ありがとうございました！
そのおかげでめちゃくちゃ綺麗な星空を見る事ができました！

場所は海岸駐車場。電灯などもなく真っ暗で車から降りて空を見上げたら、市街地では見えなかった星空が広がっていて、そこで感動！！
カメラマンさんが来て、海岸の方へ誘導していただき撮影の打ち合わせ。
シルエットの希望なども聞いていただきました。
撮った画像の確認をして、撮影も終わり、iPhoneでの撮影の仕方、息子にカメラを使っての撮影方法なども教えてくださり、とても嬉しかったです。

翌日には補正なども終わりたくさんの画像が届きました。想像していた星空より遥かに越えて綺麗な色の星空で、感動的な画像になっていました。
これは思い出になりますねぇ！！
ありがとうございました。

We enjoyed our fun and educational sanba experience . The teacher was kind and patient and a talented musician. Highly recommend this activity.

Despite arriving just before the store closed, I was treated very kindly. Thank you very much. It was a comfortable space.

お店が閉まるギリギリの時間に到着したにも関わらず、とても親切にしていただきました。
ありがとうございました。
居心地の良い空間でした。

I made some wonderful memories with my daughter! Thank you so much to the staff member Ryouke, who was kind and friendly. I really wished we could have stayed longer.

娘と2人でとっても良い思い出となりました！店員のリョウケさん、優しく気さくに、、本当にありがとうございました。
もっとゆっくり滞在したかったです。

Gyokusendo Cave is much larger than I had imagined, and it took more time than expected. Even though it's December, it's still Okinawa! It was hot and quite challenging (>ㅿ<;;).

玉泉洞は想像していたよりも遥かに規模が大きく、思いのほか時間がかかりました。
12月とはいえ、さすが沖縄！暑くて大変でした(>ㅿ<;;)

I stopped by a cozy space during my travels. Having a place like this is not only helpful for travel references but also allows for a nice, relaxing break, which I really appreciate. I would love to visit again. Thank you!

旅の途中にほっこりスペースに立ち寄らせていただきました。こんなスペースがあると旅の参考にもなるし、ゆっくり休めるしとてもありがたいです。また伺いたいと思います。ありがとうございました！

The starry sky was shining beautifully, and the photos turned out great. The photographer was also very friendly, and I had a wonderful time.

星空が映えていてとってもきれいに撮っていただきました。カメラマンさんも気さくな方で、素敵な時間を過ごせました。
