Japan
It's amazing that such a rich natural environment is just under an hour from Kyoto Station, allowing for an exciting river descent. I was able to see many wild monkeys, and it was wonderful to witness a flock of birds taking flight. Shopping on the boat was also enjoyable; I bought grilled squid, and it tasted exceptionally delicious while eating it on the boat. I would love to visit in a different season as well.
京都駅から1時間もかからない場所なのに、豊かな自然を見ながら、エキサイティングな川下りが出来るなんて、本当に最高でした。野生の猿をたくさん見ることが出来たし、鳥が集団で飛び立つところも見られて、素晴らしかったです。船上でのお買い物も楽しく、イカ焼きを購入しましたが、船の上で食べると格別に美味しく感じられました。違う季節にも来てみたいです。
I used the round trip from Nagasaki Port to Fukue Ferry Terminal and a one-day sightseeing tour.
The ferry took about three hours, which felt just right, so I wasn't tired and it was great.
I rented a bicycle at the Fukue Tourist Information Center to get around, but I realized that it's quite inconvenient without a bike.
Next time, I want to take my time and explore on a rental bike.
長崎港から福江フェリーターミナルまでの往復と、1日観光ツアーを利用しました。
フェリーは3時間くらいでしたが、ちょうどよいくらいで着いたので、疲れもなく良かったです。
福江の観光案内所でレンタルサイクルを借りて移動しましたが、最低限自転車がないと不便だなあって思いました。
今度はゆっくりレンタルバイクで観光したいなって思いました。
The weather I was worried about turned out to be clear, making for a very comfortable trip. I was able to travel quite pleasantly. The ride was not very bumpy; it truly felt like a jet foil.
心配していた天気も晴れてとても快適な旅でした。大変気持ちよく旅行ができました。車内はあまり揺れ子さすがジェットフォイルと言う感じでした。
After visiting the Churaumi Aquarium, we participated in this activity. We made a reservation in advance, and it was helpful that cancellations were allowed until 5 PM the day before. We had a very enjoyable experience! I was a bit worried since my elderly parents were with us, but the tour guide was very kind, and we had a pleasant time. The weather was great, so the scenery was fantastic. There was some slight rocking, but the kids took motion sickness medication, so they didn't feel unwell. Exploring underwater and seeing corals and fish up close created wonderful memories. Thank you very much.
美ら海水族館の後にこちらに参加しました。
前もって予約してました。キャンセルも前日の5時までOKなのが助かります。
とても楽しく体験出来ました!年配の両親も一緒だったので少し心配でしたが、添乗員の方もとても親切で気持ちのいい時間を過ごせました。
天気も良かったので景色も最高でした。
多少の揺れはありましたが、子供達は酔い止めを飲んで参加したので気分も悪くなりませんでした。
海中探索もサンゴや魚を間近で見れて良い思い出が出来ました。
ありがとうございました。
Since it was my first time visiting Arashiyama, I made a reservation to take the tram and go down the Hozu River. It was a refreshing two hours, enjoying the fun stories from the boatman and leisurely moving through nature. I highly recommend it.
初めて嵐山に行くので、トロッコに乗って保津川の川下りに行こうと、予約しました。
船頭さんのたのしいお話と、自然の中をゆったりと進み、リフレッシュの2時間でした。
おすすめです。
I participated in the Hozu River boat ride based on a friend's recommendation, and to be honest, I thought the price was a bit high. However, the boatman's talk and performance during the hour and a half made me laugh so much—when was the last time I laughed like that? Of course, the boat ride was thrilling, and it was a great experience with opportunities to observe nature and wildlife. I even thought about wanting to experience it in each season. I got to enjoy the boat ride, Yoshimoto Shinkigeki, and a safari park! I will definitely choose this again for my next trip to Kyoto!
保津川下り、友達のおすすめで、今回のスケジュールに組んだのですが、正直、料金がちょっとお高いなぁと思って参加しました。
それが、船頭さんのトーク、パフォーマンス、1時間半くらいの時間、こんなに笑ったのって最近あったっけ?って。
勿論、川下りはスリルあり、自然や生き物の観察もあっての、とてもいいものでした。
四季毎に、体験してみたいと思ったくらいです。
川下りと吉本新喜劇、サファリパークを体験できました笑
次の京都旅行には、またチョイスします!
It was already quite crowded with a considerable number of people. To put it simply, I couldn't hear any Japanese at all, and there were no people wearing masks (laughs).
I think it's better to consider the day and time you go. Although, I don't know what times to avoid tourists.
The content was as I imagined. I surprisingly enjoyed it, but whether I think it's worth 3,200 yen is another question.
すでにかなりの数来ていて大混雑でした。
わかりやすく言うと日本語は全く聞こえずマスクしている人は皆無でしたよ(笑)
行く日、時間等は考慮して行ったほうが良いかと思います。って、旅行者を避ける時間帯ってわからないけど。
内容は想像通り。意外と楽しめましたが、これに3200円の価値があると思うかどうかですね。
I participated in this as a graduation trip with my son. The weather was nice, and a pleasant breeze was blowing, making it incredibly fun. The boatman's stories were also interesting. Next time, I would like to bring my mother along.
息子と卒業旅行として参加しました。
天気も良くて、気持ちが良い風も吹いてて、最高に楽しかったです。
船頭さんの話も面白かったです。
また、今度は母を一緒に連れてきたいです。
The night view experience is incredibly beautiful, and you can purchase tickets here at a better price than at the venue. I recommend that those visiting Sapporo buy round-trip tickets for the cable car.
超級漂亮的夜景觀覽體驗,在這邊買票可以比現場用更優惠的價格取得,建議來札幌觀光的人可以購買纜車來回票券。
You can relax comfortably inside the ferry. The restrooms were clean. Perhaps because the weather was nice, the boat didn't sway at all.
フェリーの中ではゆっくりと過ごすことが出来ます。
トイレもきれいでした。
天気が良かったためか船は揺れることもなかったです。
The hotel breakfast is served from 7:00 AM, and I thought it would be difficult to check in 30 minutes before the 8:00 AM flight, but they said it would be fine if I came 15 minutes early, so I made it in time. I was able to inquire about the ferry starting around 6:40 AM. There is no parking at the ferry terminal, but the municipal parking lot in front of the port was 500 yen for the whole day.
ホテルの朝食が7時~で、8時の便30分前まで受付するのは
難しいと思ったのですが、
15分前に来てもらえば大丈夫ということで
間に合いました。
6:40分ごろから船の問い合わせができました。
フェリー乗り場の駐車場はありませんが、
港の前の市営駐車場は一日500円でした。
It was amazing! The stories from the captains were interesting, and above all, the parallel run with the trolley train was fantastic. Thank you, captains, I got some great photos.
最高でした!船長さん達の話しも面白く、そしてなんといってもトロッコ列車との並走、ありがとう船長さん達、良い写真撮れました。
The meeting time was set for 7:10, and since it seemed like I would be cutting it close, I exchanged my ticket the day before. Once I had completed the exchange, I was told that as long as I arrived by the boarding time (10 minutes before departure), I would be fine. I was worried about whether I could make it after having breakfast at the hotel, but I made a taxi reservation, and I was able to eat and still make it on time. The boat was completely stable and comfortable, but the seating was spaced like a bus, and seat belts were mandatory. Since it was fully booked that day, once you sat down, you basically couldn't move. If I had more time, taking the ferry one way might have been nice.
集合時間が7時10分となっており、ギリギリになりそうだったため、前日にチケットを引き換えました。
引き換えを済ませておけば、乗船時間(出発の10分前)までに着いていれば良いとの事。
ホテルの朝食を食べて間に合うか気になっていたのですが、タクシーの予約をしておき、食べてからでも間に合いました。
船は全く揺れず快適でしたが、座席はバス位の間隔でシートベルト必須、当日は満席だったので一度座ると基本動けません。
時間に余裕があれば片道はフェリーでも良かったかな。
The pickup was easy to understand, and the response during the return was quick, which was helpful. The explanation was provided politely by a female staff member, but the loud, energetic voice of the male staff member at the adjacent counter was so overwhelming that it drowned out our conversation.
お迎えはわかりやすく、返却時の対応は早くて助かりました。説明は女性に丁寧に対応していただきましたが、隣の男性受付の元気な大きい声はこちらの会話を打ち消すほどでした。
Masks are still essential to avoid the three Cs (closed spaces, crowded places, and close-contact settings). I hope to have a comfortable trip while doing my best to follow good manners!
まだマスクは3密を避けるためには必需品です。マナーは極力守りながら快適な旅になればいいかと思います!
The ship was large and allowed for a leisurely journey. However, the interior was hot and could hardly be called comfortable. Well, I accepted it as part of the experience, so it was within my expectations.
船は大きくてのんびり移動できました。
ただ、船内が暑く、決して快適?とは言えませんでした。
まあ、こんなもんだと割り切って乗ったので、想定内でした。
The JR limited express bound for Nagasaki was significantly delayed due to a power outage, and I was unable to make it in time for the jet foil. Thank you for your kind assistance. It was a great help.
長崎に向うJR特急が停電により大幅に遅れ、ジェットフォイルに間に合わなくなった時に、親切に対応いただきました。
ありがとうございました。助かりました。
We took the trolley train to the final stop and then transferred to a bus to the river rafting location. Although the water level was low and the bottom of the boat hit some rocks, we had a very enjoyable rafting experience. Since it was a long trip of over two hours with low water levels, it's essential to prepare for cold weather in winter.
トロッコ列車で終点まで上がり、そこからバスで川下りの場所まで移動しました。水が少なく運行ギリギリとのことで船底に岩が当たっていましたが、とても楽しい川下りを体験できました。水が少なく2時間越えの長丁場でしたので、冬は防寒対策が必要です。
I arrived at Tokyo Skytree just before noon. It's truly impressive when seen up close. After finishing lunch, I went to the ticket counter and found a long line. However, since I had purchased my admission ticket in advance through Veltra, I was able to smoothly get on the elevator. In about 40 seconds, I arrived at the observation deck. You can see the vast panorama of Tokyo spread out below. The towering exterior alone is worth a visit.
お昼前にスカイツリーに到着。近くで見ると圧巻です。昼ごはんを終えてチケットカウンターへ行くと長蛇の列が。しかし事前にベルトラで入場チケットを購入していたのですんなりエレベーターにのれました。40秒ほどで展望デッキへ到着。東京の大パノラマが眼下に広がっているのを見渡せます。そびえ立つ外観だけでも一見の価値あり。
It was a quiet and smooth journey that lasted an hour and a half. We arrived at Nagasaki Port while I was reading a magazine. Unlike flying, it took a bit longer, but the spacious seats were nice.
1時間半の静かで揺れもなく、快適な航海でした。雑誌を読んでいる間に長崎港に着きました。飛行機とは違って時間が少し長くかかりましたが、ゆったりとした座席で良かったです。
It's definitely more economical to go through this than to issue tickets normally. It's easy; you just show the smartphone screen at the counter. I plan to continue issuing tickets this way.
普通に発券するよりこちらを経由した方が断然お得です。窓口でスマホ画面を見せるだけなの簡単です。これからもこちらで発券しようと思います。
It was my first time using the Nagasaki Port. Inside the terminal, there was an announcement stating that tickets issued by travel agencies must be exchanged at the counter. Before boarding, temperature checks were also conducted. The ship was very clean, and the sea was calm, making for a comfortable journey of just over an hour.
長崎港発の利用は初めてでした。ターミナル内では、旅行会社発行のチケットは必ず窓口で引き換えが必要ですと案内放送もありました。乗船前には検温も実施されていらっしゃいます。船内はとても清潔で、海も穏やかで快適な1時間ちょっとの船旅でした。
You can simply present your Veltra voucher at the counter to quickly exchange it for a paper ticket. The reception is very smooth! I didn't know there was a water server on board. I have used Kyushu Ferry several times, and the staff at the counter and the crew are always kind. I fell asleep without realizing it, and before I knew it, we were at Nagasaki Port.
窓口でベルトラバウチャーを提示するだけですぐに紙チケットに引き換えられます。受付がとてもスムーズです!船内にウォーターサーバーが備え付けられているとは知りませんでした。九州商船さんの船にはこれまで何度か使わせていただいていますが、いつも窓口の方も船員さんも対応が親切です。いつの間にか寝落ちして、あっという間に長崎港でした。
The interior of the ship was very clean, and I was able to spend my time comfortably. The staff were also very pleasant and kindly guided me to my designated cabin. There were slippers provided on board, which was quite nice. It was great not having to worry about moving to the restroom or shower room, which also helped reduce the amount of luggage I had to carry. The green sleeping compartments have curtains, so I could lie down without worrying about the eyes of others. After arriving at Aokata Port, I took a short rest in the tatami nap room inside the terminal. Please note that there are no blankets or partitions, so it might be difficult to get a good sleep!
船内はとても清潔感があり、快適に過ごすことができました。スタッフさんも非常に感じがよく、指定客室までご丁寧に案内いただけます。船内では備え付けのスリッパもあり、これが結構嬉しいですね。客室からお手洗いに行ったり、シャワー室に行ったり、移動の際のわずらわしさもなく、荷物も減らせるのでありがたいです。グリーン寝台はカーテンが付いているので、周りの目を気にすることなく、横になれます。青方港到着後はターミナル内の畳の仮眠室で少し横になりました。ブランケットなどの備品はなく、仕切り等もないので、がっつり寝るのは難しいのでご注意を!
I used the ferry. The timing was quite good. I will use it again. Goto was amazing.
フェリーを利用させて頂きました。時間的にちょっと良い時間です。また利用させて頂きます。五島は最高でした。
The voucher holders were able to enter with priority by showing their voucher at the information desk instead of waiting in the regular line. It was helpful as my friends from abroad were looking forward to it, and we were able to move smoothly. Since you might get wet, it's a good idea to wear pants that can be rolled up. (If you don't have any, you can rent them on-site.)
こちらのバウチャー購入者は通常の入場列ではなく、インフォメーションでバウチャーを見せると優先入場できました。海外からの友人が楽しみにしていたのでスムーズに回れて助かりました。水に濡れるので足は捲れるズボンなどを着用するとよさそうです。(ない方は現地で借りれます)
The Hozu River flows through Kyoto and Kameoka City to the west. On both sides of the river are majestic mountains, forming a picturesque landscape. The scenery here is pleasant in all seasons. In winter, the mountains are covered with snow, and when the snowflakes are flying, it is more suitable to take a boat to enjoy.
保津川流經京都與西側的龜岡市。河川兩岸是雄偉的山脈,構成了宛若畫般的風景。此處的景色四季宜人,冬天山色白雪皚皚,雪花紛飛之際,更適合搭船欣賞。

I wanted to engage in activities in Goto from early morning, so I used this service for the first time. Since it was my first time, I opted for the Green Sleeper. While I could hear some noise, there were roll-up blinds that provided privacy. When I closed the wooden door, the onboard Wi-Fi was disconnected, but I was able to connect in other areas. There were times when the TV couldn't connect to terrestrial channels due to the sea area.
I was worried about feeling the sway of the boat, but I hardly felt it and was able to sleep soundly. The onboard shower and restroom were clean, and when I had questions for the crew, they responded promptly and courteously. I would like to use this service again.
朝一から五島で活動したくて初めて利用しました。初めてという事で今回はグリーン寝台を利用。音は聞こえてしまいますが、ブラインドロールカーテン?があるので、プライバシーは守られます。木のドアを閉まると船内Wi-Fiが入らなくなりましたが、他の場所では繋がりました。テレビは地上波は海域により繋がらない事もありました。
心配していた揺れはほぼ感じず、ぐっすり眠れました。船内シャワー室やお手洗いも綺麗でしたし、船員の方に分からない事を質問してもすぐに丁寧に対応して頂けました。また利用したいです。
I was able to purchase tickets at a slightly lower price than usual. It was a morning flight, but it was almost full. I'm glad I bought them in advance. The process was easy since I just had to show the screen, and I hardly felt any swaying during the ride, probably because it was a calm day. As a paper driver, I appreciated that I could take the free shuttle bus to Ariake Port.
通常より少し安くチケット購入ができました。朝の便でしたがほぼ満席。事前に購入していて良かったです。お手続きも画面を見せるだけなので簡単でしたし、波が穏やかな日だったのか乗船中の揺れはほぼ感じませんでした。ペーパードライバーなので、無料シャトルバスで有明港まで行けるので助かりました。
I was able to fully enjoy Fukue, Kamigoto, Nagasaki, Hirado, and Sasebo with a significant reduction in travel time, a refreshing feeling, and beautiful scenery, perhaps from the ferry. I want to come back again.
時間の大幅短縮、爽快感、と景色はフェリーかな…福江.上五島、長崎、平戸、佐世保を満喫できました。またきたいです。
