All Reviews for Transfer & Travel Essentials

We started from our accommodation on an 8-hour course, visiting the Yambaru area, roadside stations, and Kouri Island, and finally toured Nakijin Castle before being taken back to our accommodation.
The driver was friendly and provided announcements about the natural features of the northern side of Okinawa, which is different from the southern side. He also accompanied us to purchase tickets where needed, which was reassuring.
The duration of our stay was flexible, and I thought it might be tight to see everything within the schedule, but thanks to the light traffic, the timing worked out perfectly.
If we have the opportunity again, I would appreciate it.

8時間コースで宿泊地からスタートしてやんばる周辺と道の駅と古宇利島、最後に今帰仁城を巡ってから宿泊地まで送迎していただきました。
運転手さんは気さくな方で、沖縄の南側とは違う北側の自然の特徴をアナウンスしていただいたり、チケットが必要な所では購入場所まで付き添って貰えたので心強かったです。
滞在時間はこちらの自由ですがスケジュール的に全部は厳しいかなとも思いましたが、道路がすいていたのもあってバッチリな時間配分でした。
またご縁がありましたらよろしくお願いします。

I wanted to visit the Goto Islands and used this service for the first time. It's great that purchasing through Veltra makes it a bit cheaper. On the day of the trip, I arrived at Nagasaki Port early, and there were plenty of seats, making it easy to understand which window to go to for the procedures. The rocking was less than I had imagined (maybe it was just a calm day?), so I didn't get seasick. Although I was traveling alone, the staff at the Fukue Port window were kind, and I thought I would like to go again.

五島列島に行ってみたく、初めて利用しました。
ベルトラ経由で購入すると少し安くなるのでありがたいです。
当日は早めに長崎港に到着しましたが、椅子も多く、手続きもどの窓口に行けば良いかわかりやすかったです。
揺れも想像していたよりも少なく（たまたま穏やかな日だったのか？）酔わずにすみました。
一人旅でしたが福江港の窓口の方も親切で、また行きたいと思いました。

I always use a sightseeing taxi for a day since I don't use a rental car while traveling.

During my summer trip to Hokkaido, I had a great driver, so I thought it would be worth paying extra for a certified driver this time.

First, at the pickup time, the driver waited in the car instead of coming to the lobby. I received a call beforehand saying they would come with a sign with my name, but nothing happened, and when I went outside, they were just sitting in the car.

Unbelievable. I've never encountered such a driver before.

This time, I had a five-hour plan, but the driver made no suggestions. When I expressed my desire to visit Kouri Island, the Michi-no-Eki Kyoda, and the Orion Beer Factory, I was told that a reservation was needed for the Orion Beer, and when I asked for a reservation, they fumbled around without knowing the phone number.

Then they asked, "What time will it be?" Isn’t it your job to estimate the time since you’re not familiar with the area?

I suggested it would be better to return to the hotel before that, and after completing the reservation, we headed to the Michi-no-Eki. After that, we went to Kouri Island. They asked if it would take an hour to visit the Ocean Tower and what we would do for lunch.

Normally, drivers have suggestions for lunch based on the sightseeing spots, but there was none.

I mentioned that I wasn't particularly hungry and that a food court would be fine, and they immediately drove into the food court parking lot.

I wanted to see the Heart Rock, but they just said, "Oh, is that so?" and took me to the coast.

There was no sightseeing guidance, and usually, drivers offer to take photos, so even during a two-hour sightseeing trip, I usually have plenty of pictures, but this time there were only two spots. The offer to take photos was almost nonexistent. Well, that's fine.

For lunch, we ended up being taken to the food court. I saw a sign for seafood rice bowls along the way and asked to go there, and they took us, but we had to check if it was open ourselves.

If you think of it as just a flat-rate taxi, that's fine, but if you're a certified driver, you shouldn't charge extra.

I will definitely not request this service again.

旅行はレンタカーを使わないのでいつも1日は観光タクシーを使っています

夏の北海道の時とても良いドライバーさんにお世話になり追加料金支払っても認定ドライバーさんが良いと思い予約しました

まずお迎えの時
ロビーにも来ず車で待っていました
名前のプラカードを持ってお迎えに来ると事前電話がありましたが何も無く、時間になっても現れず外に出ると車に乗ったままでした

ありえない
こんなドライバー初めて

今回５時間のプランでしたがドライバーから一切提案無く古宇利島と道の駅許田とオリオンビール工場見学したいと希望したら、オリオンビールは予約が必要と言われて、予約をお願いしたら電話番号も分からずモタモタ

そして何時にしますか？と
土地勘ないのに時間を読むのはアナタの仕事じゃないですか？

こちらからホテルに戻る前がいいのではと伝え、予約完了して道の駅へ
その後古宇利島へ
オシャンタワー観光は1時間かかるけどどうしますか？
昼食もどうしますか？と

普通お昼はドライバーさんが観光地に合わせてめぼしつけている物ですがそれもない

とくにお腹空いていないからフードコートでも構わないと伝えたら即フードコートの駐車場に入る

えっハートロック見たいんですけど
アッそうですかと海岸へ

特に観光案内もなく海岸へ行き
写真もいつもドライバーさんから撮りましょかと言ってもらえるので2時間の観光でも結構写真ありますが
今回は2か所だけ
撮りましょうかがほぼ無い
まあ良いですが


昼食も結局フードコートに案内されて
途中海鮮丼の幟を見かけたのでそこに行きたいと言ったら連れて行ってくれました、営業しているかなどは全部自分達で調べました
ただの定額タクシーと思えばいいのですが
認定ドライバーで追加料金取っちゃダメですよ

もう絶対頼みません

I was worried about getting seasick on the ferry, but after taking a nap, we arrived in no time. It's more economical than buying on the day. It's convenient to just show a screenshot at the counter to quickly exchange it for tickets.

フェリーで船酔いが心配だったが、一眠りしたらあっという間についた。当日購入するよりお得。窓口でスクショを見せるだけですぐにチケットに引き換えもらえて便利。

I arrived while I was sleeping.
I'm glad it didn't feel too long.
I was a bit concerned about the shared blankets, given the current circumstances.

寝てる間に着きました。
あまり長く感じられずよかった。
ブランケット使い回しなのはちょっと...ご時世がら気になりました。

The ticket exchange was quick, and there were no issues during the boarding. Since our seats were on the second floor, it was a bit of a hassle to carry the suitcase up the stairs.

チケットの引き換えもすぐにでき、乗船中も問題ありませんでした。席が二階だった為、階段で運スーツケースを運ぶのは少し面倒でした。

I was glad to be able to purchase the boarding ticket at a slightly lower price than the regular fare. The exchange at the counter was quick, so it was smooth.

正規料金よりも少し安く乗船券を購入できてよかったです。窓口ですぐに引き換えができたので、スムーズでした。

It's more economical than buying normally, and since it was a busy time, it was a good decision to make a reservation. The seats are also assigned. The ticket screen from Veltra alone isn't enough; you need to exchange it at the ferry ticket counter. The exchange was smooth. The jet foil is a bit more expensive, but it was completely stable during the ride, so there was no worry about seasickness, and it was comfortable.

通常で買うよりもお得ですし混んでた時期だったので予約しておいて正解でした。座席も指定されています。ベルトラのチケット画面だけではダメでフェリーチケット売場で引き換えの必要があります。引き換えもスムーズでした。ジェットフォイルは少し高くなりますが走行中全く揺れず船酔いの心配がなく快適でした。

I made a last-minute reservation, but I was relieved by the quick response.

On the day of my arrival, my flight was slightly delayed, but they were waiting with a nameplate, making it easy to meet up. The interior of the car had leather seats and was comfortable. They were considerate when getting in and out, and the driving was calm, which made me feel safe.

Since I was traveling alone, it felt a bit pricey, but if you arrive in the evening, there are no buses or shuttles available, and since it's a direct ride, it doesn't take much time even if the airport is far away, so I recommend it.

直前での予約でしたが、回答が早く安心しました。

当日は飛行機の到着が若干遅れたのですが、ネームプレートをもって待っていただきスムーズに合流できました。
車内は革張りのシートで快適でした。乗り降りする際の気遣いや、運転も穏やかで安心・安全でした。

1人利用だったので少々高くも感じますが、夕方着の場合はバスやシャトルもないですし、直行なので空港から遠くてもそんなに時間はかからないのでおすすめです。

I was able to make a reservation in advance for my trip, so I was able to board without any stress on the day. The price was also lower, which made it feel like a great deal. Thank you for your assistance.

旅の事前に申し込みが出来て、当日は焦らず安心して乗船出来ました。料金もお安くなったので、お得感が有りました。お世話になりました。

This is my second time using this service. Recently, there aren't many buses between Oita Airport and Yufuin, so to make effective use of my time, I used it for a round trip from the airport to Yufuin Station and back. The driver was punctual and drove carefully, making the journey very comfortable!

今回2回目の利用です。
最近大分空港⇔湯布院間のバスの本数が多くないことと時間を有効に使用するために空港から由布院駅までと由布院駅から大分空港までの往復で利用しました。
時間通りで丁寧に運転してくださりとても快適でした♪

At the ticket counter inside the terminal, I showed them a screenshot of my voucher and quickly exchanged it for my boarding pass, making for an easy check-in. I was torn between taking the high-speed boat and the ferry, but I chose the ferry and, without getting seasick, I slept and before I knew it, we arrived at Fukue Island. I was informed that during rough weather, ferries are less likely to be canceled than high-speed boats, so I opted for the ferry on my return trip as well. Please note that your boarding pass will be collected when you disembark, so be sure to keep it and not throw it away.

ターミナル内のチケット売り場で、バウチャーのスクショを見せるとすぐ乗船券に引換えてもらえ、簡単チェックインでした。高速船と迷ってフェリーにしましたが、船酔いもせず寝てたらあっという間に福江島に着きました。時化のときは高速船よりフェリーの方が欠航になりにくいとのことで、復路もフェリーにしました。下船時に乗船券は回収されますので、捨てずに保管してください。

Even though I had a reservation, I still had to line up in the regular purchase queue. Since it was indicated that I could show it on my smartphone, I thought it would be fine to show it just before boarding the ship, or that there would be some kind of ticket machine for those who made a reservation, so it was a bit of a time loss.

予約していても結局は通常購入の列の並ばないと行けなかった。スマホ掲示とあったので、船に乗り込む直前に見せれば良い、若しくは予約した人の発券機的な物があるのかと思っていたので、ちょっとタイムロスでした。

The jet foil service we were scheduled to take was canceled due to rough seas, but we were able to switch to a ferry on the same day. The staff at the counter handled the situation smoothly, so we were able to make the change without any stress, which was a relief.

海上時化により乗船予定だったジェットフォイル便が欠航になりましたが、当日フェリーに振り替えました。窓口の方がスムーズに対応してくださり焦ることなく変更ができたので助かりました。

I was able to purchase at a lower price than on the day of the event. With fuel costs rising, it's nice to save even a little. The ticket exchange was also smooth.

当日購入よりもお安く購入できました。燃料費が上がっているので少しでも安いと嬉しいですね。チケット引き換えもスムーズにできました。

I was concerned about the weather on the day, but there were no cancellations, and the ticket exchange at the counter went smoothly.

当日の天候が気になるところでしたが、欠航になることもなく、窓口でのチケット引き換えもスムーズにできました。

My mother, who was born in Fukue on the Goto Islands, recently passed away.

When she was young, she moved to Honshu for a group employment program, and that’s where we were born. Due to various circumstances, my mother never returned to her hometown, and as a result, we had never set foot on the Goto Islands. This was our first trip to the Goto Islands.

On the first day, we enjoyed the city of Nagasaki and its gourmet attractions. On the second day, we took a ferry from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Port. It was my first time on a ship, so I was worried about seasickness, but fortunately, the weather was great, and we enjoyed the calm sea views.

As we set off, the ship's whistle blew, and Nagasaki gradually became smaller in the distance. The interior of the ship was spacious with free space, and everyone was lying down in their favorite spots or watching TV. Blankets and pillows were available for use. When I went out on deck, the wind felt wonderful right above the sea.

When the islands of the Goto Islands began to come into view, I took out a small portion of my mother’s ashes that I had brought with me and let her gaze upon Fukue Island. It became a memorable sister trip as we explored the island where our mother was born and raised.

五島列島の福江で産まれた母が先日他界しました。

母は若い頃に集団就職で本州に渡り、そして私達が産まれました。
様々な事情から、母は一度も故郷に帰ることはなく、そのため私たちも一度も五島列島に足を踏み入れることはありませんでした。
今回初めての五島列島の旅でした。

一日目は長崎の街やグルメ観光を楽しみました。
二日目は、長崎港から福江港へフェリーを利用しました。船に乗るのは初めてなので、「船酔い」が心配だったのですが、おかげさまで天気にも恵まれ、穏やかな海の景色を楽しめました。
いざ出発！！汽笛が鳴り、出港するとだんだんと長崎の街が小さくなっていきます。船内は広々とフリースペースになっていて、皆さん好きな場所で横になっていたり、ＴＶを見たりしていました。毛布やまくらが自由に利用できました。甲板に出ると海の真上で風がとても気持ちがよかったです。

五島列島の島々が見え始めた時に少しだけ持参した母の遺骨を出して
福江の島を眺めさせてあげました。母が生まれ育った福江の島を巡る思い出の姉妹の旅になりました。

It was a very comfortable boat trip, arriving at the Goto Islands in no time in a clean interior like that of the Shinkansen. Thanks to the favorable weather on the day, I hardly felt any rocking.

新幹線のような清潔な車内で、あっという間に五島列島まで到着するのでとても快適な船旅でした。
当日天候に恵まれたこともあり、揺れもほとんど感じませんでした。

The ship had vending machines, and I was able to enjoy a relaxed journey. Although I was in second class, the space was divided by boarding location, allowing for a decent amount of space. If you want to relax, second class might be a good option.

船内には自動販売機もあり、ゆったりとした船旅を楽しめました。
2等でしたが、乗船地によってスペースが分けられておりある程度のスペースは確保できました。ゆったりしたい方は2等指定がいいかもしれません。

Transportation options on the island are limited, so it was helpful to have a shuttle bus available from Narao Port to Arikawa.

島の移動手段は限られるので、奈良尾港に着いてから有川までのシャトルバスが利用出来るのは助かりました。

I used the jet foil round trip from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Port in the Goto Islands. There were discounts available, and the boarding process was simple and easy. However, when making the reservation, I had to process the outbound and return tickets separately, which was a bit confusing as I wasn't sure why it couldn't be done in one go. Also, I would appreciate it if you could explain the meaning of "voucher" in parentheses, as technical terms can be difficult for the general public to understand.

長崎港から五島列島福江港までジェットホイルを往復で使用しました。割引もありまた、乗船手続きが簡単でらくでした。予約時に往復の購入手続きで行きと帰りと別々に処理しなくてはならなかったので一度でできないのか分かりづらかった。また、バウチャーの意味をかっこ書きで説明して欲しい。専門用語は一般人には分かりづらいです。

I participated with my mother. I handed over a list of places we wanted to visit, and we were taken in an efficient order.

We were able to go to an Okinawa soba shop located deep in the mountains, which made us very satisfied.

The driver was easy to talk to, and it was fun!

It's a shame the weather was bad, but I would like to use this service again.

母親と参加しました。

楽しかったです!

天気が悪かったのが残念ですが、
また利用したいと思います。

From the initial confirmation to the day of the event, I felt reassured as I entrusted everything to you. During the journey, you were flexible in accommodating changes to our destination, and you subtly provided additional information based on the flow of our conversation, which created a perfect balance in our interaction. The costs were clearly presented, both for online payment and for on-site settlement (extension fees and tolls), making everything easy to understand. Thank you very much!

事前の確認から当日まで、丁寧にご対応頂き安心してお任せすることが出来ました、
道中も行先の変更など臨機応変にご対応いただいたほか、我々の会話の流れからそっと補足情報を入れてくださるなど、距離感が絶妙で良かったです、
費用もネットでの支払いと現地での精算(延長費用や高速代)をはっきり提示いただき、分かりやすかったです。
ありがとうございました！

The boarding process was smooth. The ship was headed to Nagasaki Port, and we got off at Kamigoto, so we disembarked midway. I almost missed my stop and had to hurry to get off. If you're not careful, it arrives quietly and departs in no time, so those disembarking midway should be cautious! It was that quiet and comfortable of a journey.

乗船までスムーズでした。船は長崎港へ向かうもので私たちは上五島で降りたので途中下船だったのですが、うっかり降り損いそうになり慌てて降りました。自分で気をつけていないと静かに到着してあっという間に出ようとするので途中下船の人は要注意！それくらい静かで快適な移動でした。

Despite the weekend being busy with many customers, the service at the counter was good, and the ticket collection was smooth. I was able to use the service without any problems!

However, the ferry I used was quite crowded due to many group customers, such as sports teams on an expedition. It was noisy for the entire three hours until arrival. I felt that the groups should manage the children better, as parents were engrossed in conversation while their kids were running around the ferry.

週末で利用客も多い中、窓口での対応も良く、切符の受け取りもスムーズでした。
なんの問題もなく利用出来ました！

ただ、利用した船の船内には週末ということもあり、遠征するスポーツチーム等の団体客が多く、混雑していました。
到着するまでの3時間、ずっとざわざわしていました。
団体は、親と子でまとまって、きちんと子供達の管理をして欲しいと少し感じました。
親は親同士の会話に夢中で子供達が船内を走りまわったりしているのが目につきました。

I used this service to travel from the port near the center of Nagasaki City to Fukue Island in the Goto Islands. Although it is more expensive than the large ferry, there was hardly any rocking, and most importantly, we arrived quickly, making it a very comfortable journey. Additionally, I was able to purchase tickets at a lower price than directly from the ferry company, so I think this aspect is also worth recommending. I hope those who are planning to go will definitely consider using this service.

長崎市内の中心部にほど近い港から五島列島の福江島にわたる手段として利用をさせてもらいました。
金額的には大型フェリーより高くなりますが、ほとんど揺れもなく、何よりも早く到着できるし、大変に快適な船旅でした。
また、料金的にも船会社で直接購入するよりも安価で切符を購入できたので、この点もお奨めだと思います。
是非、これから行かれる方にも利用して頂ければと思います。

I was glad to purchase the ferry at a reasonable price. The weather was nice, and the sea was beautiful; it was the best. I want to go to Goto again! Upper Goto has a rich Christian history that moved me.

フェリーが割安で購入できてよかったです。天気が良く　海が美しく最高でした。また五島に行きたいです♪ 上五島はキリシタンの歴史が息づいていて　感動しました。

I showed my voucher at the ticket counter on the first floor and received my boarding pass. When the announcement was made, boarding was from the first floor. It was smooth without any confusion. The movement was comfortable with hardly any turbulence.

１階の窓口でバウチャーを見せて発券をしてもらい、アナウンスがあったら
１階から搭乗でした。迷うことなくスムーズでした。移動はほとんど揺れることなく快適でした。

Since we were returning on a sightseeing bus and didn't have much time to spare, I was worried. So when we arrived on the island in the morning, I went to the counter to have them help me find it.

観光バスに乗っての帰りだったので、時間にあまり余裕がなく心配だったので、朝便で島に着いた時に窓口に行き発見してもらいました。
