They quickly provided the boarding pass on the smartphone voucher screen, which was smooth. The woman at the reception was experienced, so there was no confusion, which was great. I would like to use it again.

スマホのvoucher画面で直ぐに乗船券を出してくれて、スムーズでした。受付の女性の方も慣れてらっしゃるので混乱なくて良かったです。また使いたいです。

There are many attractions around Osaka Castle that can be used for free, so by combining a boat cruise and entrance fees (for about two places), you can almost break even. Additionally, since you can use the subway, buses, and private railways within Osaka, depending on the location of your hotel, it might be worth purchasing this pass just for sightseeing at Osaka Castle.

The available attractions are somewhat spread out, but they are concentrated in the area, so I think it's better to target specific places to visit.

By the way, I injured my foot while trying to climb the Osaka Castle main tower, so I gave up on going up the tower.

大阪城周辺のアトラクションに無料で使用できるところが多いので、船クルーズと入場料(2か所くらい)の組み合わせで、ほぼ元が取れる。更に地下鉄・バス・大阪市内の私鉄にも乗れるので、宿泊先のホテルの場所によっては大阪城観光のためだけにこのパスを購入してもよいと思う。
利用可能なアトラクションがある程度散らばっているが、エリアに固まっているので、ターゲットを絞って行った方が良いと思う。
なお私は大阪城天守閣に登ろうとしたところで足を痛めたので、天守閣はあきらめました。

I was thinking of taking the jet foil, but since I would just be sleeping once I returned to Nagasaki city, I decided to take it easy and change my plans. The inside of the boat wasn't too crowded, but there were still some passengers. I felt it was about half tourists and half locals. Wi-Fi is available, but the signal isn't great... It's understandable since we're on the sea. I spent my time watching TV, reading a book, having snacks, and napping. The boat hardly sways at all.

ジェットフォイルにしようかと思っていたのですが、長崎市内に戻っても寝るだけなのでゆっくり行くことに変更。
船内はそこまで混んでおらず、かといってお客さんがいないわけではないです。
観光客と地元の方が半々くらいに思いました。
Wi-Fiが通っていますが、やはり電波はよくないです・・・
海の上なので仕方ないですね。
ＴＶを見たり本を読んだり、おやつを食べたり寝たりして過ごしました。
船はほとんど揺れないです。

I used the ferry from Fukue to Narao. There was a quiet announcement that we had arrived at Narao, and since the boat was swaying and no one around me was moving, I thought I shouldn't get off yet. Then, people started boarding, and I was in a bit of a panic. Please be careful to get off immediately when they announce that you have arrived.

長崎行き、福江→奈良尾利用しました。
アナウンスで奈良尾着きましたと小さな声でアナウンスがあり、揺れているのもあり、周りも動かないのでまだ降りてはいけないのかと思ったら、人が乗ってきて、慌てておりました。
着いたと言われたらすぐに降りる必要がありますので注意してください。

The return trip was a boat journey of just under an hour and a half to Nagasaki. We stopped at Narushima, and from there we took a high-speed boat. We arrived in no time. It was great to enjoy two different patterns: the overnight trip there and the morning departure back, arriving in Nagasaki before noon. This time, there was hardly any rocking.

帰りは長崎まで、１時間半弱の船旅。奈留島に寄って、そこからは高速艇に。あっという間に到着。行きの夜行と、帰りの朝出て、お昼前には長崎に着く２パターンを楽しめて良かったです。こちらはほとんど揺れませんでした。

It was my child's first time on a ship, and the interior was beautiful and spacious, so they were in a great mood. If there’s another opportunity, I would appreciate it.

子供ははじめての船でしたが、内装も綺麗でゆったりとしていたせいがまったくご機嫌でした、
また機会がありましたらよろしくお願い致します。

I used this for a round trip for a day tour of Fukue Island in the Goto Islands. The seats were comfortable, similar to a spacious reserved seat in a two-row window seat on the Shinkansen. I was worried about the operation status due to the approaching typhoon, but I think it's a good idea to register for "Kyushu Transportation info.com" as mentioned on the Kyushu Ferry website. By the way, if you research dining options around Fukue Port in advance, it will allow for more efficient travel.

五島福江島の一日観光のため、往復で利用しました。座席は窓際2列のゆったりとした新幹線普通車の指定席同様で快適な船旅でした。台風接近のため運行状況が心配でしたが、九州商船のホームページに記載のとおり「九州のりものinfo.com」を登録しておくと良いと思います。余談ですが、福江港周辺の食事処を事前に調べておくと効率的な移動ができます。

The driver was very nice, and I had a wonderful trip. They happily agreed to extend the time as well. I'm really glad I asked for their help.

運転手さんもとてもいい方で、楽しい旅が出来ました。時間延長も快く引き受けていただけました。こちらにお願いして本当によかったです。

I took the jet foil from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Port, and for the return trip, I boarded the ferry. Since it was a long journey, I was worried about seasickness, but I didn't feel sick at all on the way there, so I was able to board with peace of mind, thinking that I would be fine on the way back as well. The large ship had a spacious interior where I could lie down comfortably, and there were blankets and pillows available. Most importantly, there were very few people, which made it pleasant. I was able to relax, watch TV, and sleep. Although it took longer than the jet foil, the fare was cheaper, and I enjoyed the leisurely experience.

長崎港から福江港まではジェットフォイルに乗船し、帰路はフェリーに乗船しました。長旅になるので船酔いが心配でしたが、行きが全く船酔いしなかったので、きっと帰りも大丈夫だろうと安心して乗船することが出来ました。大きな船で、艦内の広いスペースで雑魚寝ができる様になってて、毛布と枕もあり、何よりも人が少なかったため快適でした。ごろごろしながらテレビ見たり寝たりと、ジェットフォイルよりも時間はかかりますが、料金もお安くゆっくりできて良かったです。

The boat trip from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Port takes about an hour and a half. I tend to get seasick easily, and I was quite worried about the rocking of the boat, so I took some motion sickness medication about 30 minutes before departure. However, the waves were calm, and there was no significant rocking, so I was completely fine. I almost fell asleep, and before I knew it, we arrived at Fukue Port, so I must have been able to relax. The check-in process was smooth, and I appreciate the safe operation of the service.

長崎港から福江港まで約1時間半の船旅。船酔いしやすい体質で、結構揺れて船酔いするのではないかと心配で、出発30分前くらいに酔い止めを飲んで乗船しましたが、波が穏やかだったのか気になるほどの揺れはなく全然大丈夫でした。ほぼ寝てしまったのですが、あっという間に福江港に到着しましたので、きっとリラックスできてたのでしょう。受付もスムーズでしたし、安全に運行していただき有難う御座いました。

I went to the Old Naval Headquarters Bunker, the Himeyuri Monument, the Peace Memorial Park, and Okinawa World on a 7-hour tour. Thanks to the driver's guidance, I was able to learn a lot about the Okinawa War, which was great. I also appreciate being able to walk along the old paths at the Peace Memorial Park that I didn't know about. Thank you for treating me to sata andagi and drinks as well.

7時間のコースで旧海軍司令部壕、ひめゆりの塔、平和祈念公園、おきなわワールドへ行きました。運転手さんのガイドのお蔭で沖縄戦について詳しく知る事ができ良かったです。平和祈念公園でも私が知らなかった旧道を歩かせていただき感謝してます。サーターアンタギーや飲み物もおごらせて頂きありがとうございました。

On the way there, I used the ferry, but for the return trip, I booked the jet foil. It shortened the travel time, and I arrived at Nagasaki Port in no time. I participated in a sightseeing tour on the day of boarding, and it was great that I could board right after the tour ended. If I have the chance again, I would like to book this ticket.

行きはフェリーを利用しましたが、帰りはジェットフォイルを予約しました。時間も短縮されて、あっという間に長崎港に到着しました。
乗船当日に観光ツアーに参加しましたが、ツアー終了後ちょうどよい時間に乗船できたのでよかったです。また機会があったら、このチケットを予約したいと思います。

I visited the Goto Islands for the first time in my life. Due to time constraints, I only went to Fukue Island, but it turned out to be a very memorable trip. What left a particularly strong impression on me in Fukue Island was the diversity of nature and the depth of the island's life and history that blends into that diversity. The expansive grasslands of Onidake, reminiscent of Wakakusa Mountain, the charming shape of the mountain, and the view of the sea and mountains of Fukue Island from the observation deck, especially the picturesque scenery of the islands stretching towards the northern part of Upper Goto, are unforgettable. The rustic atmosphere of Myojo-in and the magnificence of the ceiling paintings, along with the connections to Daibouji later on, and the traces of Kobo Daishi (including legends) found throughout the island, evoke an interest in ancient history, especially since this island was the last place the envoys to Tang China departed from Japan (it seems the Satsuma route was mainly used for their return). The history of Christianity represented by churches like Dozaki Church and Imojira Lourdes Church is also significant. During this trip, I was shocked to learn in detail about the history of the hidden Christians during the prohibition period and the resurgence of Christians during the late Edo and Meiji periods at the Christian Museum attached to the Oura Cathedral. I realized that the history of Christianity is an essential element in understanding the history of the Japanese spirit and thought.

However, the most significant impression of Fukue Island is the traces of its volcanic origins. The lava coast of Abunase, the Osezaki Lighthouse, and the cliffs of Gyoran Kannon vividly convey the volcanic activity of the past, particularly how the magma that erupted flowed into the sea. The heat of the foot bath at Arakawa Onsen is likely a remnant of that. There are probably traces of a caldera in the sea as well. Above all, I cannot forget the beauty of the emerald-colored sea surface reflecting the sunlight on a clear day.

Finally, I highly recommend tasting Goto udon. I had it at a moray eel restaurant called "Pandora" near Osezaki, and the unique texture, which is like a cross between udon and somen, was wonderful! The deliciousness of the dashi broth made from flying fish is also noteworthy.

Fukue Island, my first visit, was a wonderful place. Next time, I would like to visit the other islands as well.

　生まれて初めて五島列島を訪れました。時間の関係もあり福江島だけになりましたがたいへん印象深い旅となりました。福江島でとくに強い印象を受けたのが自然の多様さ、その多様さに溶け込んでいる島の生活や歴史の奥深さでした。鬼岳のまるで若草山のような草原の広がりと山の形の愛らしさ、展望台から見た福江島の海と山の眺め、とくに北側の上五島にかけての島々の絵巻のような景色は忘れられません。明星院境内の質朴な風情と天井絵のすばらしさ、後の大宝寺ともつながりますが島の至る所にある空海弘法大師の足跡（伝説も含むのでしょうが）は、この島が遣唐使が日本を離れる最後の場所（三井楽）だったこと（帰国の際は薩摩ルートが主だったようですね）と併せ古代の歴史への関心を惹起せずにはおきません。また堂崎教会、井持浦ルルド教会に代表されるキリシタンの歴史も大切ですね。今回の旅で禁教期のかくれキリシタンおよび幕末明治の潜伏キリシタンの再登場の歴史をはじめて詳細に大浦天主堂付設キリシタン博物館で知り衝撃を受けました。日本人の精神・思想の歴史を捉え返すうえでキリシタンの歴史は不可欠な要素であることを痛感しました。
　ただやはり福江島の印象として最も大きいのは、五島列島が火山運動の結果できた土地であることの痕跡です。鐙瀬溶岩海岸と大瀬崎灯台および魚籃観音の断崖地形は、かつての火山運動、特に噴火したマグマが海へと流れだすことによって作り出されたことをまざまざと感じさせました。荒川温泉の足湯の熱さもその名残なりのでしょう。おそらく海にはカルデラの痕跡も残っているはずですね。それと何といっても晴れた日の太陽光線の反射を受けたエメラルド色の海面の美しさが忘れられません。
　最後に五島うどんのおいしさはぜひ味わってほしいと思います。大瀬崎の近くのウツボ料理「パンドラ」で食べたのですが、うどんとそうめんの中間のような独特の食感がすばらしかった！それとアゴだしのつゆのおいしさも特筆すべきです。
　生まれて初めての福江島、すばらしいところでした。今度は他の島々も訪ねてみたいと思います。

I was worried about the weather due to the typhoon and thought I might not be able to go to the places I wanted, but unexpectedly, it was sunny. I was able to visit the Churaumi Aquarium and Sesoko Beach, and since we had extra time, the driver suggested we cross the big bridge to Kouri Island. He also took us to a local supermarket where he recommended items like Spam and Jimami tofu that we could buy at local prices. We had many interesting conversations and I really enjoyed the experience! Thank you very much. I hope to request your services again when I come back to Okinawa.

台風で天気を心配し、行きたいところに行けないかなと心配してましたが、まさかの晴れ
行きたかった美ら海水族館と瀬底ビーチにも行けて、さらに時間があるからと運転手さんの提案で古宇利島の大橋を渡り、さらに地元のスーパーに連れて行ってもらい、スパムやジーマミー豆腐など、地元の価格で買えるものをすすめていただいたり、いろんなお話をしていただいて、とっても楽しめました！ありがとうございました。
また沖縄に来る時はお願いしたいなと思います。

At first, I was worried about seasickness, but we arrived in no time. The view of the ocean was also wonderful. I'm thinking of going again next year. I want to find a cheaper parking lot.

初めは　船酔いが心配だったけどあっという間に着きました。海の眺めも素晴らしかったです。来年も行こうと思っています。駐車場をもっと安いところを見つけたいです。

I was able to purchase at a low price, and it was helpful that I could change my flight at the counter on the day of boarding. However, it's unfortunate that I can't get a refund for a sudden cancellation. When it's not busy, it might be worth buying at the counter even if it's a bit more expensive.

安く購入出来たのに乗船当日に便の変更も窓口で可能だったので助かりました。しかし、急なキャンセルで返金されないのは残念。空いている時は少し高いが窓口で購入しても良いかも。

I boarded the jet foil from Fukue Port to Nagasaki Port. There was an announcement in the terminal saying, "Boarding will begin around ◯ o'clock," and the staff at the counter were smooth and polite in their assistance. On the day of travel, the sea was calm, and we arrived at Nagasaki Port in no time without any rocking. The view of the Goto Islands from the jet foil was beautiful, and before I knew it, I had fallen into a deep sleep, thinking that I would love to come back soon. Whenever I take a ship with Kyushu Ferry, the staff, including those at the counter, always give a very kind and friendly impression. I will use their services again.

福江港から長崎港へのジェットフォイルに乗船しました。ターミナル内では「◯時頃に乗船開始となります」といった館内放送があり、窓口の方もスムーズかつ丁寧に対応してくださいました。当日は海上時化もなく、全然揺れることなくあっという間に長崎港に到着。ジェットフォイルから眺める五島の島々も美しく、またすぐにでも来たいな～なんて思いながら、気付けば爆睡でした。九州商船さんの船に乗るときはいつも窓口の方含め、船員さんもとても優しくフレンドリーな印象です。また利用させていただきます。

We departed around 8 AM, which was just right for tourists. The ship had pillows, and I was able to take a nap for almost an hour.

朝８時ごろ出発なので、観光客にとってはちょうどよかった。船内は枕もありごろ寝でき、１時間弱だったが寝てしまった。

Thank you for the wonderful day tour at the Churaumi Aquarium (10 hours). We used the service for three people, and the taxi was covered with transparent sheets around the driver's seat, allowing us to sit comfortably in the passenger seat as well. Since our pick-up time was set for 7 AM, we were able to enter the aquarium right when it opened, which was a lot of fun. On the way back, we were taken to a souvenir shop similar to a roadside station, where there were many local foods and souvenirs. It was really great. Thank you very much!

美ら海水族館1日観光（10時間）でお世話になりました。
3人で利用しましたが、タクシー内は、運転席を囲むように透明シートで覆ってあり、助手席も安心してゆったり座ることが出来ました。
お迎え時間も7時にしていただいたため、オープンすぐから水族館に入れたたのでとても楽しめました。帰りは、ホテルに戻る途中に道の駅のようなお土産屋さんに連れて行って頂きました。地元の食べ物やお土産がたくさんあり、とてもよかったです。本当にどうもありがとうございました。

I took the high-speed ferry from Sasebo to Arikawa Port. I was impressed by how polite and cheerful the staff at the ticket counter were. Since I had completed the payment in advance, I only needed to inform them of my reservation to receive my boarding pass, making the ticket exchange very smooth. During boarding, the crew greeted us, which was very pleasant. They conducted temperature checks before boarding, and hand sanitizer was available on the ship, ensuring thorough COVID-19 precautions. The interior of the ferry was well-cleaned and felt very hygienic. Please be careful not to lose your half-ticket, as it will be collected when disembarking!

佐世保発有川港行きの高速船に乗りました。窓口の方がとても丁寧で明るく対応してくださったのが印象的でした。事前決済が完了しているので、予約していることを伝えるだけで乗船券を発券していただき、スムーズにチケット引き換えができました。乗船時も船員の方々が挨拶をしてくれて、とても感じが良かったです。乗船前の検温の実施と船内には消毒用アルコールが設置されており、コロナ対策も万全でした。船内は清掃が置き届いており、清潔感もあります。下船時は半券を回収されますので、なくさないようにご注意ください！

It was clear and comfortable without any shaking. There weren't too many people, and I was able to use the seats spaciously. Although it was a second-class cabin, the vibrations from the ship's motor could be felt in the two rear seats, so I recommend choosing the two front seats if you want to avoid feeling the vibrations even while lying down. You can purchase cup noodles, udon, bread, soft drinks, and some snacks from the vending machine. Alcohol and heavy foods are not sold, so it's recommended to bring your own bento or similar items.

快晴で揺れもせず、快適でした。
人数も多くなく、席も広く使えました。
2等客室でしたが、後方の2か所は船のモーター音の振動が伝わってくるので
前方2か所を選ぶと寝転がっていても振動を感じないと思います。
自販機でカップラーメン、うどん、パン、清涼飲料水、ちょっとしたお菓子は購入できます。
アルコール類、腹にたまるものは売っていないので、お弁当などは買ってくることがおすすめです。

I made a reservation based on experiences that mentioned the ability to book individually and smooth ticket issuance. On the day of my reservation, I simply showed the reservation screen and the ticketing was completed in no time. Although I couldn't use it for the outbound trip due to a flight delay, I received prompt and very courteous assistance, which was a great help. Thank you very much.

個人で事前予約できること、発券がスムーズとの体験談を参考に予約しました。当日は予約画面を見せるだけであっという間に発券完了。往路は、航空機遅延で利用できませんでしたが、迅速かつとても丁寧に対応いただき、大変助かりました。ありがとうございました。

My first trip to the Goto Islands.
I reserved a ferry ticket through Veltra, and I was worried because it took some time to get a response, but soon I received the voucher and was able to enjoy a comfortable boat trip.

初めての五島列島
ベルトラさんにフェリーチケットを予約入れたが回答に時間がかかり心配しましたがまもなくバウチャーが送信され無事に快適な船旅ができました。

This is my several visits to Nagasaki and the Goto Islands, and I was able to easily make a reservation through this site, with smooth check-in on the day of travel. It's nice to have a leisurely boat trip where you can move while you sleep.

何度目かの長崎、五島列島訪問ですが、こちらのサイトから簡単に予約ができて当日の受付もスムーズにいきました。
ゆっくり船旅も寝てる間に移動ができて良いものです。

Inexpensive second-class cabin. I was anxious about my first solo trip.
However, it was a very comfortable journey, and I had a moment to forget about everyday life while feeling the breeze on the deck.
I was fortunate with the weather, so there was no rocking.

安価な2等船席。初めてのひとり乗船で不安でした。
でも、とても快適な船旅で、デッキで風を感じながら日常を忘れる時間でした。
天気に恵まれたので揺れることもなかったです。

The waves were calm, and we were able to lie down comfortably inside the boat. It was such a good time that even though we were on board for a long time, it didn't feel that long.

波も穏やかで船内もゆっくりと横にもなれました。長時間乗ってのにさほど長く感じなかった位よいじかんでした。

The first ferry from Fukue Island to Nakadori Island in the morning is recommended. If you're driving a rental car north on Nakadori Island from Narao, the affordable ferry is sufficient. The deck at the bow offers a great view and is quiet, with no engine noise, making it a great spot to relax.

福江島から中通島への朝一番の便はフェリーです。奈良尾からレンタカーで中通島を北上するなら価値が安いフェリーで十分です。船首側のデッキは眺めがよくエンジン音も聞こえず静かでおすすめです。

Presenting the voucher at the counter allowed for a smooth ticket issuance. I was able to board quickly following the boarding announcement. The interior of the ship was organized and comfortable.

窓口でバウチャーを提示すればスムーズに発券された。
乗船アナウンスに沿って速やかに乗れた。
船内は整理されていて快適でした。

On the day of sightseeing, it unfortunately rained, and we had to change our schedule. After consulting with an older driver, we canceled the kayak tour and visited Kadena Air Base, had lunch at the number one Okinawa soba restaurant, and then went to the Churaumi Aquarium, which made for a very satisfying day. I've been to Okinawa many times, but I rarely have the opportunity to visit a U.S. military base, so it was a great experience.

観光当日はあいにくの雨で、急遽スケジュールを変更。年配のドライバーさんに相談して、カヤックツアーをキャンセルして、嘉手納空軍基地の見学、沖縄NO.１の沖縄そば屋で昼食、そして美ら海水族館に行き、大満足の一日でした。沖縄には何回も来ていますが、なかなか米軍基地を見学する機会はないので、とても良い体験ができました。

In addition to the destinations I requested in advance, you took me to recommended places and stopped the car along the way to show me breathtaking spots, allowing me to enjoy Okinawa even more. You shared knowledge that I wouldn't have known if I had gone on my own, and I am truly grateful for that. You picked me up at the designated location early in the morning and were flexible, which was a great help for me since I'm not good at driving. I was able to fully enjoy Okinawa over the three days. I am really thankful to the driver who took care of me. Thank you very much.

事前にお願いした目的地以外にも、オススメ場所を連れて行って下さったり、途中で車を停めて絶景スポットを見せて下さったりしていただいて、沖縄をより満喫出来ました。
自分達で行っていたら知りえない知識も教えて下さって、本当に感謝です。
早い時間に指定場所にお迎えに来ていただけたり、融通をきかせてもらって、運転が苦手な私にとって本当に助かりました。
3日間でたっぷり沖縄を満喫することができました。
担当してくださった運転手の方には本当に感謝です。ありがとうございました。
