Japan
I had both excitement and anxiety during my first ride down the Hozu River, but being at the front with the boatmen was so much fun that the two hours flew by. I definitely want to come back in spring during the cherry blossom season. Thank you very much.
初めての保津川下りで期待と不安が有りましたが、先頭に乗せていただき船頭さんたちがとても楽しくて2時間があっと言うまでした。是非とも春の桜の季節にまた来たいと思いました。ありがとうございました。
I used it for a round trip to Fukue Island on the middle day of my 2-night, 3-day stay in Nagasaki. Thanks to the jet foil, I was able to explore Fukue Island in just one day. The high-speed travel made it feel like I was on a plane, providing a comfortable journey.
長崎2泊3日の中日に福江島日帰りの往復に利用しました。1日で福江島を観光できたのもジェットフォイルのおかげです。高速航行で飛行機に乗っている気分で快適な旅ができました。
It was my first time using a sightseeing taxi. Since I had already visited the main tourist spots during my previous visit, I thought there might be other places I didn't know about and hadn't visited yet. I joined without a plan, but the driver was very nice and made many suggestions, moving flexibly with us. The conversation was really enjoyable, and despite the unfortunate cloudy weather, I had a truly great time. Thank you!
観光タクシーを使うのは初めてでした。
以前訪れた際に主要な観光地は一通り行ってしまった為
他に知らないまだ訪れたことのないところがあるのでは
と
ノープランで参加したのですが
運転手さんがとても良い方で
たくさんの提案をして頂き、フレキシブルに動いてくださいました。
お話もとても楽しくて
生憎の曇り空でしたが
本当にいい時間を過ごすことが出来ました。
ありがとうございました!
Surrounded by colorful, glowing LED curtains, gazing up at the magnificent flowers and butterflies floating from the ceiling, touching the koi swimming in the warm, footbath-like water area, feeling the droplets in my hands, and being captivated by the live orchids created an unforgettable memory where I felt one with the artwork.
カラフルに光り輝く暖簾のようなLEDに身を置き、天井に浮遊する華麗な花々と蝶々を見上げ、温かい足湯のような感じのウォーターエリアの水面を泳ぐ錦鯉や鮮やかな花に触れ、滴り落ちるしずくを掌で受け止め、生花の蘭に魅了されて、自分が作品と一体化出来たような感覚が一生忘れられない素敵な想い出になりました。
It was a little over an hour boat trip from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Island. The sea was calm, and there was no rocking. Since it was lunchtime, it was nice to grab some food before boarding and enjoy lunch while looking at the ocean.
長崎港から福江島まで1時間ちょっとの船旅でした、海も穏やかで揺れる事も無くお昼の時間帯だったので乗船前に買い出し海原見ながらの昼食よかったです。
I rode a jet foil for the first time. It glided smoothly over the surface of the sea, and it was a comfortable boat trip with no swaying. It costs quite a bit, and I was torn between this and taking a plane, but I made the right choice by choosing this!
はじめてジェットフォイルに乗りました。
海面を滑るように滑走し、揺れも無く快適な船旅でした。
結構費用も掛かるし、飛行機にするか迷いましたが、こちらを選んで正解でした!
I visited on November 11, 2023, and although it was a bit early for the autumn leaves, the stunning scenery, thrill, laughter, and fresh air were incredible. The activities, which have been ongoing since the Heian period (130 years ago), attract 600,000 visitors from 120 countries annually and span 16 km over two hours. If you ever have the chance to visit Kyoto, be sure to include this in your plans. I recommend taking the Arashiyama Torokko train there and returning via the Hozu River boat ride; you will definitely be highly satisfied and find it perfect.
2023/11/11に行きましたが、紅葉には少し早く見れなかったが、素晴らしい景色にスリルと笑いと新鮮な空気が味わえる平安時代(観光は130年前)から続く世界120カ国年間60万人が訪れる16km2時間のアクティビティは素晴らしい。京都来られる事があるなら、是非予定に入れてください。行きは嵐山初のトロッコ列車で帰路は保津川下りで嵐山観光すれば絶対に満足度高いし完璧と思います。
It was an amazing experience to be so close to the fish! I was really happy to see a sea turtle as well, as it's not something you get to see often! The coral reef was breathtaking!
すごい近くに魚がいてすごく貴重な体験でした!
ウミガメもいてなかなかみれないとの事ですごく嬉しかったです!
サンゴ礁は圧巻です!
The stories from the boatmen were interesting and enjoyable! The teamwork among the three boatmen was outstanding! I definitely want to go again during the spring when the new greenery and cherry blossoms are in bloom!!!
船頭さんのお話が面白く楽しっかったです!三人の船頭さんのチームワーク抜群ですね!。また春の新緑やさくらの季節に是非行きたいです!!!
The procedures were simple and on time, departing at 9 AM in the mist. After about 30 minutes, the fog cleared, and it was quite a charming moment. The autumn leaves weren't very beautiful, likely due to the nationwide lack of rain, but I enjoyed myself thanks to the boatman's thoughtfulness and playful banter.
I stayed at Route Inn near Kameoka Station, which is about a 5-minute walk to the boat dock. However, since parking was free, I moved my car from the hotel parking lot, which took just 2 minutes. If you park at the hotel, there’s an additional fee of 500 yen if you stay past 12 or 1 PM. For the return trip, since the tram station is far from the boat dock, I might take a taxi. If I return by JR, it’s only a 10-minute walk even at a leisurely pace. By the way, after exploring Arashiyama and Sagano, my wife took the tram while I took JR.
I hope to ride again during cherry blossom season someday.
Be careful as you can't go to the restroom for two hours, especially if you drink a lot. Although you arrive right in front of Arashiyama, there may be a wait during peak times.
手続きも簡単で時間通り、9時朝霧の中 出発
30分ほどで霧が晴れ,なかなか趣のあるひとときでした
紅葉は全国的な雨不足のせいもあり
あまりきれいとは言えなかったが
船頭さんの気遣いや駄洒落トークで気持ちよく楽しめました
亀岡の駅近くのルートインに泊り 5分くらいで歩いて船着き場に行けますが、駐車場が無料だったので、ホテルの駐車場から車で2分で移動。ホテルでの駐車は 12時だったか1時を過ぎると、追加料金500円を取られます。
帰りはトロッコ電車で帰ると,船着き場へは遠いのでタクシーかな?
JRで帰れば、ゆっくり歩いても10分
因みに私は嵐山・嵯峨野を散策した後、家内がトロッコ私はJRでした。
いつか桜の時期のまた乗りたいものです。
2時間トイレに行けないので注意。特に飲む人
到着した嵐山目の前だが目の前だが,ピーク時は待ちとのこと。
Although it was a short five-hour trip, we enjoyed a smooth round trip drive to the Churaumi Aquarium. Thanks to the driver's detailed advice, we were able to navigate the large grounds without getting lost. Additionally, we learned about the history and culture of Okinawa from the scenery visible through the window, making for a rich sightseeing experience. Thanks to this, the beautiful trio (perhaps?) was very satisfied. It was a fruitful late autumn journey. Thank you very much. If the opportunity arises, I will use your services again.
5時間の短い利用でしたが、スム―ズに「美ら海水族館」への往復ドライブを楽しめました。
運転手さんの決め細やかなアドバイスもあり、広い敷地内も迷うことなく移動できました。また窓から見える風景の沖縄の歴史・風土も教えていただき中身の濃い観光になりました。おかげさまで美人三姉妹(?)は大満足。
実りある晩秋の旅でした。ありがとうございました。機会があったらまた利用します。
I participated for the first time last year, and it was so great that I joined again this year. The weather on the day was also wonderful, and the autumn leaves viewed from the river were very beautiful. I was able to see various wild birds, and the boatman's stories were as interesting as ever. I want to participate again next year.
去年初めて参加して、とても良かったので今年も参加しました。当日は天気にも恵まれ、川から眺める紅葉はとてもキレイでした。色々な野鳥も見ることが出来たし、船頭さんの話も相変わらず面白かったし、来年もまた参加したいです。
The entrance was a bit hard to find, but once you go up, you'll see a calm night view that spreads 360° different from big cities like Tokyo. You can enjoy drinks or coffee at the observation deck, and spending some time relaxing here could be a great addition to your Sapporo trip.
入り口が少しわかりにくかったのですが
上に登ってからは
東京などの大都市とは違う
落ち着いた夜景が360°広がります
展望台でお酒を飲んだり
コーヒーを飲んだりすることができ
ここで少しゆっくり過ごす時間も
札幌旅行の一つに加えてはどうでしょう
There were many foreign visitors, but the boatmen really livened up the atmosphere, and the two-hour river ride was a lot of fun! (*^^*)
Anyway, the boatmen's talks were entertaining! They casually shared various stories with us!
Also, the boatmen work hard every day to improve their skills and ensure safety, so I felt secure during the ride! They truly have both skill and great communication abilities, and I'm really glad I went on this ride! (╹◡╹)
The required time and speed vary depending on the water level that day, and the scenery changes with the seasons, so I thought it would be nice to visit again in a different season!
Thank you very much! (^ -^)
外国の方が多かったのですが、船頭さんたちがとても場を盛り上げてくださり、2時間ほどの川下りはとても楽しかったです(*^^*)
とにかく、船頭さんたちのトークが面白いです!気さくにいろんな話をしてくださります!
また、船頭さんたちは日々、技術の向上や安全のために努力をなさっていて、その点でも安心して乗れました!本当に、実力もありトーク能力もある船頭さんで、本当に乗ってよかったです(╹◡╹)
その日の水量によって所要時間やスピードが違ったり、また季節によって景色も変わるので、また違う季節に行きたいなぁと思いました!!
ありがとうございました(^-^)
I had made a reservation for the tour based on the departure time, but when I arrived, it was based on the order of arrival. I had a reservation for a 12:00 departure, but I went at 11:35 and ended up departing at 12:30. I was very worried because I had a schedule to follow afterward.
ツアーは出発時間で予約していたのに、行ってみると到着順だった。
12時出発の予約が、11時35分に行って、12時30分に出発した。後のスケジュールがあったので、とても心配でした。
The captain's storytelling was very skillful, and all the passengers had a great time. The air and scenery were wonderful, making the two hours fly by.
船頭のお話がとても上手で、乗客みんなが楽しく過ごせました。空気も景色もよくて、あっという間の2時間でした。
I arrived at the reception before the opening, so there were many attendees in line, but after the doors opened, everything moved along smoothly, and exchanging tickets was very easy. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and the view from the observation deck was not great, but I thought it was a good ticket for sightseeing in Tokyo.
開場前に受付に着いたのでたくさんの入場者が並んでいましたが、開場後はテンポ良く進み、チケット引き換えも非常に簡単でした。あいにく天気が悪く展望台からの景色は微妙でしたが、東京観光には良いチケットだと思いました。
Island trips often take a lot of time, so I recommend it for those who want to shorten their travel time as much as possible. The boat itself sways less than a regular ferry, so for those who are not good with boats, I think the shorter and less turbulent jet foil is a good option.
離島旅は時間が掛かる事が多いから少しでも時間短縮したい人にはお勧め。船自体の揺れも通常のフェリーより少ない為に船が苦手な人なら揺れが少なくて時間の短いジェットフォイルが良いと思います。
It is available at all Metro stations, but I purchased it here because I could use my accumulated points. The exchange location in Umeda is open from 7:00 on weekdays, so it wasn't inconvenient. I started my sightseeing at Osaka Castle at 9:00, then visited the boat ride, Aqua Liner, Tsutenkaku, and the Floating Garden, making it quite a bargain when considering transportation costs.
メトロの全駅でも発売されているのですが、こちらだと貯まっていたポイントが使えたため購入しました。
引き換え場所は梅田だと平日7:00から行っているため不便はなかったです。
9:00から大阪城観光からスタートし、御座船、アクアライナー、通天閣、空中庭園と周り、交通費も考えると相当お得になりました。
I boarded right after checking in, and the one-and-a-half-hour boat trip was very enjoyable. The life jackets were new, and they even checked each person's size, which made me feel very safe!
受付してすぐに乗り込み、一時間半の船旅は、とても楽しく過ごせました。
救命胴衣も新しく、尚且つ一人一人のサイズチェックなど、とても安心出来ました!
On November 12th (Sunday), it was still a bit early for the autumn leaves, but I was able to enjoy the pleasant scenery without it being too cold. I experienced this about 20 years ago, and it felt like the river was flowing faster back then, but the boatman mentioned that the water level was low, making it difficult to paddle. For 4,500 yen, you can enjoy nearly two hours and feel like you're on a trip. However, since my seat was towards the back, I could only hear the cheerful laughter from others and could hardly hear the boatman's stories, which felt unfair. I think it would be nice if they could use a microphone or adjust the seating prices accordingly.
11/12(日)紅葉にはまだ早いですが、寒すぎず長閑な風景が楽しめました。
20年ほど前に一度経験しましたが、もっと川の流れが早かったように感じましたが、やはり船頭さんが、水位が低くて漕ぐのが大変だと仰ってました。
4,500円で2時間近く楽しめて、旅行気分が味わえます。
席が後ろの方で、楽しそうな笑い声が聞こえてくるだけで、船頭さんの話がほぼ聞こえず、不公平感があり、マイクを利用するか、席で金額に差を付けて貰えると良いなと思いました。
I visited a cave for the first time. Perhaps due to the rain, there were few people, allowing me to take my time and thoroughly enjoy the impressive stalactites. There are three exits, and after the second exit, there were quite a few steep stairs, but there were handrails, so I felt safe.
初めて鍾乳洞に行きました。雨のせいか人もまばらで、ゆっくり見て回ることができ、大迫力の鍾乳石をじっくり楽しめました。
出口が3ヶ所あり、2つ目の出口以降は急な階段が多めでしたが、手すりもあったので安心でした。
Just by using this, you can save money. It was very helpful for my solo trip where I wanted to save as much as possible. The ticket exchange was smooth, and there were no inconveniences. They also send a reminder the day before to confirm everything.
こちらを利用するだけでお安くなります。
少しでも安くしたい一人旅にはありがたかったです。チケットの引き換えもスムーズで不便なことはありません。前日に間違いないか等、リマインドの連絡もあります。
I traveled alone and wanted to move around as cheaply as possible, so I used this service. The exchange process was smooth, and there was no difference in hassle compared to purchasing on the day, so there’s no reason not to use it.
一人旅、少しでも安く移動したいと思い利用しました。引き換えもスムーズで当日の購入と手間は変わらず、利用しない理由がありません。
At Nagasaki Port, there was quite a line for ticket purchases, so it was quick to exchange my voucher just by showing it. Since you board in the order of the numbers on the ticket, it's better to go to the terminal early to make the exchange. The weather was clear and the scenery was amazing!
長崎港ではチケット購入に結構列ができていたので、バウチャー見せるだけで引き換え完了したのは早かったです。
チケットに記載してある番号順に乗るので、早くターミナルにいって引き換えた方がよいです。
晴れてて景色も最高でした!
The voucher exchange was easy, and I was able to get my tickets right away. It's a bit cheaper to book through Veltra than to purchase on-site.
バウチャーの引き換えも楽ですぐに発券してもらえました。
当日現地購入よりもベルトラ予約の方が少し安いのでお得です。
The driver's guidance exceeded our expectations. Not only did they fulfill our wishes, but their suggestions also proved effective, allowing us to tour efficiently.
ドライバーの案内は、こちらの期待値以上でした
希望を叶えて頂いた上に、ご提案が功を奏して、
効率よく巡回する事が出来ました
The weather was nice, and I was able to move smoothly and on time. The seat was also facing forward. There were few passengers, though.
天候も良く、スムーズに時間通利に移動できました。
席も前向きの席でした。
乗客も少なかったですが。
I had lunch at Nago Fishing Port based on a recommendation from the driver. There were many locals there, which made me think it must be a great place, and indeed, I was very satisfied with the reasonably priced and delicious food!
ドライバーさんの紹介で名護漁港で昼食をとりました。地元の人たちがたくさん来ていて、美味しいお店なのだと思いましたand実際、リーズナブルで美味しい料理で大満足でした!
I used the jet foil and was able to ride comfortably without any shaking. My wife seemed to sleep peacefully as well. There was consideration for seating, with the seat next to me empty, making for a pleasant journey.
ジェットフォイルを利用しましたが、揺れることもなく安心して乗れました。
妻も安心して寝ていたようです。席の配慮もあり、隣はあいており、快適な乗船になりました。
