It was great to see the actual training scenes during the guided tour led by ANA Group employees inside BLUE BASE! The experience felt like being at an airport, with wonderful touches like a 2D barcode resembling a boarding pass upon entry.
ANAグループ社員がBLUE BASE内を案内してくれるガイドツアーで実際の訓練風景が見られるのが良かったです!入館時から航空券に見立てた2次元バーコードなど空港にいるような演出が素敵でした。
あくまでも訓練の様子をみるのが主眼なので体験を期待するのであれば別のコースの方が良いです。

The training facility offers an extraordinary experience. Since photography is prohibited, you can't capture memories, so outside of the designated photo areas, I believe that taking the time to observe will leave you with experiences you haven't had before.
訓練施設は非日常の体験を味わう事ができます。何故なら訓練施設は撮影が禁止である為思い出に残す事ができないので撮影OKエリア以外はじっくり目で見ればこれまで味わえなかった体験が残ると思います。

The reception was very polite, and I was able to smoothly experience the travel tour. Since there were only four participants, including my wife and me, the tour was fulfilling, with thorough explanations and answers to individual questions during the 70-minute tour.

I visited the training facility of ANA and received an explanation from a current cabin attendant. I was able to see the serious training of the staff who are responsible for people's lives and dedicated to making them happy, using the latest equipment. I participated alone this time, but the cabin attendant who explained everything took many photos for me, creating wonderful memories. Next time, I want to bring my family!

Compared to factory tours offered for free by other companies, this one is quite lacking. It's not really worth the trip. The 1500 yen fee is disappointing.
