All Reviews for Tickets

I thoroughly enjoyed the nearly two-hour river descent. It may depend on the participants' morale, but the trip I joined departed on time and arrived at Arashiyama almost as scheduled. The three boatmen were all friendly and entertaining, providing enjoyable commentary and explanations. The river conditions were calm, so some participants had the opportunity to paddle in the gentle areas.

However, even though we departed at 9 AM, it was a clear day with temperatures in Kyoto exceeding 38°C, so it was quite hot. I eagerly boarded as passenger number one (probably in order of check-in) and took a seat at the very front, but the canopy in the front row only partially blocked the sun (the sun is lower in the morning), so direct sunlight was intense. I also felt the wind more in the front, so in terms of heat, it was about the same. I think those in the second row and beyond were fine regarding sunburn. Since this is a natural activity, any water exposure is at your own discretion, and you might get splashed depending on the situation.

Food and drinks are allowed on board, so it might be a good idea to bring bottled tea or snacks. The seats do not have backrests, and you will be swaying in the rapids for two hours, so it may not be suitable for those with weak backs. Additionally, masks are required on board.

２時間近い川下り、堪能しました。参加者のモラルにもよるかもしれませんが、私の参加した回は定刻出発、嵐山着もほぼ予定通り。船頭さん３人は皆さんトークも説明も楽しくて感じのいい方ばかりでした。川の状態が穏やかだったので、何人かは流れの緩やかな場所で漕ぎ手の経験をさせてもらっていました。
ただまあ9時発とはいえ京都市内が最高気温38℃越えを記録した快晴下ですので、暑いことは暑かったです。私は張り切って乗客番号１番で乗り込んだ（多分受付順）ので一番前の一番端に陣取りましたが、先頭列は日よけの屋根が中途半端にしか遮ってくれず（朝だと太陽の位置も低い）直射日光はキツかったですね。一番風も受けますし暑さでいえばトントンでしょうか。２列目以降の方は日焼けは大丈夫かと思います。自然のアクティビティですので、水濡れなどは自己判断で。状況によっては被ります。
船内は飲食・持ち込み自由なのでペットボトルのお茶やお菓子など持参するといいかも。
背もたれのない椅子で急流に揺られつつ２時間下りますので、腰が弱い方には向かないと思います。
なお、船内はマスク着用です。

I had made a reservation in advance, so I was able to board right away. It was a very hot day, but the boat had a roof, and the captain's narration was very enjoyable, making the two hours fly by. The boat was also equipped with a splash guard, so I didn't get wet at all. I definitely want to go again during the cherry blossom season in spring and the autumn foliage season.

事前に予約していたのですぐに乗船できました。
とっても暑い日でしたが船には屋根もあって船頭さんの語りもとても楽しく２時間あっという間でした。船に波除用のシートも完備されていて濡れることもなかっです。
次は春の桜、秋の紅葉の時期に是非行きたいと思います。

This year, the rainy season ended early, and due to the lower water levels than usual, we had about two hours of river rafting. Although it was the hot summer season, thanks to the shade, it was cooler than I expected, and the breeze during the rafting was very pleasant, making it comfortable. The boatmen entertained us with lively talks about plants, animals, and nature at various spots during the two hours. It was a special time where I could recharge my energy in a sense of liberation away from daily life! In spring, you can see cherry blossoms, and in autumn, the foliage, and without shade, you can enjoy an even more open feeling while rafting. I would like to try it in spring or autumn next time!

今年は梅雨明けが早く、例年よりも川の水量が少なかったこともあり、約2時間の川下りでした。夏の暑い時期でしたが、日除けがあったおかげで思ってたよりも涼しく、川下り中は風がとても気持ちよかったので快適でした。船頭さんたちは約2時間の中で、それぞれのスポットで植物や動物、自然の紹介等、軽快なトークを交えて楽しませてくれました。日常から離れた開放感の中で、エネルギーをチャージできるような特別な時間でした！
春は桜、秋は紅葉を見られるし、日除けがないためより開放感のある川下りを楽しめるそうです。次は春や秋に楽しんでみたいです！

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。

We toured from the hotel in Onna Village to Kouri Island → Nakijin Castle Ruins → Bise Fukugi Tree Lane → Churaumi Aquarium (a 7-hour course). Thanks to the driver's advice, we were able to stop at photo spots and take pictures, which was really great. At the sightseeing locations, he would say things like, "You should check this out!" which made for a very satisfying tour. When I requested to stop by a supermarket on the way back, he looked it up and took me there. Unfortunately, the supermarket was closed that day, but he kindly took us to the Michi no Eki Kyoda instead, where we could buy souvenirs and local ingredients, which was very much appreciated.

恩納村のホテルから古宇利島→今帰仁城跡→備瀬のフクギ並木→美ら海水族館を観光しました。（7時間コース）運転手さんのアドバイスで写真スポットでわざわざ車を止めて頂き、写真を撮る事が出来とても、良かったです。観光場所でも、こういうのがあるから見たら良いよ！とか言ってくれて、とても満足がいく観光ができました。帰りにスーパーに寄ってほしいとお願いしたら、調べてくれて行ってくれました。スーパーは、残念ながらその日は、やってなかったんですが、急きょ道の駅　許田に寄ってくれて、お土産や地元の食材を購入でき、これまたとてもありがたかったです。

The boatman's talk skills were outstanding, and it was a fun time that went by in a flash. I was sad when my recently purchased Hozu River boat ride towel fell into the river and sank during the rapids… ( ; ; ) But the boatman let me experience steering the boat, so it was a great experience! I thought it was harder than it looked. It seemed easy, but maneuvering a bus-sized boat with a pole while avoiding rocks in a rocky river is quite a challenge. It was hot this time, so I thought I would like to ride again during the autumn foliage season!

船頭さんのトーク力が抜群であっという間の楽しい時間でした。
途中、急流で直前に購入した保津川下りのタオルが川に落ちて沈んでしまったのが悲しかったですが…（ ; ; ）泣
でも、船頭さんが舵取り体験をさせてくれたのでいい経験が出来ました♪
見た目以上にハードだと思いました。簡単そうに見えましたが、岩だらけの川で岩を避けながらバス並みの船を棒？で操縦するのは至難の業です。
今回は暑かったので今度は紅葉の時期に乗りたいなと思いました!!

After getting off at the streetcar station, it's a 3-minute walk to the free micro shuttle bus stop. It takes about 10 minutes on foot, but the uphill climb on the way there might be tough. The summit can be a bit chilly. The view is amazing, but a lot of people come later in the day. It's worth a visit if you're in Sapporo. The ropeway operates approximately every 15 minutes, but if there are too many people, you might have to wait for the next one on the way down. The shuttle bus is a micro, so I walked back to the station.

市電の駅を降りて3分も歩けば無料マイクロシャトルバス乗り場。歩いても10分位だけど行きは急な登りなので大変かも。山頂は少し肌寒い位。景色はサイコーだけど、遅い時間になるとすごく沢山の人がやってくる。札幌に行ったら行く価値あり。ロープウェイは15分間隔位で運行してるけど、あまりに人がいると下りは積み残しあるかもしれないです。シャトルバスはマイクロなので帰りは駅まで歩きました。

I requested a tour of the Okinawa battle sites in Yomitan Village. Because a local person guided us, we were able to visit all the sites, and along the way, they shared stories about the battle and their personal experiences related to it. This made for a much deeper learning experience about the Okinawa battle than I had anticipated. It became a valuable opportunity that cannot be measured by price. Thank you so much to our guide!!

読谷村の沖縄戦跡をリクエストして案内いただきました。
地元のかたが案内するからこそ、すべて訪ねることができ、道すがらにガイドや沖縄戦にまつわるご自身のお話もしてくださったことによって、予想を遥かにこえて、沖縄戦を深く学べた時間でした。
値段では計れない大切な機会となりました。
ガイドさん、本当にありがとうございました！！

The driver was very kind, and the guidance was thorough, which was great. The taxi also had partitions, and proper infection control measures were in place, allowing us to enjoy sightseeing with peace of mind. Thank you very much.

親切な運転手さんでガイドもしっかりしてくれて大変よかったです。タクシーの中も仕切りもあり感染対策もしっかりとられて安心して観光を楽しみました。ありがとうございました。

I experienced it during the rainy season in June, but it was still a time when it hadn't rained much. It seemed to be a period when the river's water level was lower than usual, and it felt like the boat was hitting the riverbed. We wrapped up after 1 hour and 45 minutes from the scheduled time. In the rapids, you might get wet. It was a hot day, but it was a bit cooler on the river, and I enjoyed hearing various historical stories. However, it is mandatory to present a voucher, and if you haven't printed it, you'll need to pay 50 yen to have it printed. At that time, the guide mentioned that if you use another ticket site accessible from the official website, printing is not necessary, which was a bit disappointing.

6月の梅雨に入ったけれどまだ然程雨の降っていない時期に体験しました。
通常より川の水が少ない時期のようで、川底に船があたるのような状況でした。予約時間から1時間45分で解散でした。
急流のあたりでは水に濡れることもあります。
暑い日でしたが、川の上は少し涼しく、さまざまな歴史の話などもあり楽しめました。
ただバウチャーの提出が必須で、印刷していないと50円で印刷してもらう必要があります。その際に、案内の方から公式サイトからいけるもう一つのチケットサイトであれば印刷不要であると情報があり、少し残念な気持ちになりました。

I have participated a few years ago, and the boatman is younger than before.

He was quite skilled in conversation, and I really enjoyed it.

The whitewater rafting was thrilling and better than the rafting in Wakayama.

I was surprised to see so many soft-shelled turtles along the river!

何年か前にも参加経験ありますが、その時より船頭さんが若年化しています。

話術巧みで、結構楽しめました。

急流下りではスリル満点で、和歌山の筏下りより良かったです。

川沿いにスッポンが沢山いてビックリしました！

You need to exchange your ticket at the ferry terminal on the day of travel, and your seat will be assigned at that time. It was very convenient.

当日フェリーターミナルでチケットに交換する必要があり、その際に座席が指定されます。とっても便利でした

Two hours flew by in no time. The breathtaking views of the Hozu River were amazing, and the guides were so much fun; I really enjoyed it. The level of thrill varies depending on the water level, but I believe the guides will keep the atmosphere lively no matter what. Masks are essential, but since eating and drinking are allowed, I was able to hydrate without hesitation. As we approached Arashiyama, a boat loaded with delicious treats came by, and I couldn't help but indulge in some dango. This time, it was all about the fresh greenery, so next time, I want to go see the autumn leaves.

あっという間の二時間。保津川の絶景はもちろん、船頭さんたちのガイドも楽しく、本当に楽しかった。水嵩次第で、スリルの程度は変わりますが、どんな時でも、船頭さんさんたちが盛り上げてくださると思います。マスクは必須だと思いますが、飲食自由なので、水分補給は遠慮なくできました。嵐山に近づいた頃に美味しいものを積んだ船が寄ってきて、ついうっかり、お団子を食べてしまいました。今回、新緑だったので、今度は、紅葉を見に行きたいです。

I thought it would shake a lot since it travels at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour, similar to that of a highway, but it hardly shook and the ride was comfortable. Upon researching, I found out that it utilizes Boeing's latest technology to minimize shaking.

時速80キロと高速道路並みのスピードで飛ばすのでさぞかし揺れるだろうと思っていたが、ほとんど揺れず乗り心地がいい。
調べてみるとボーイング社の最新技術を使い、揺れない工夫がされているそう。

The weather was great, and I had a lot of fun. The boatmen communicated well and made sure we didn't get bored. Thank you very much! The dinosaur tree was hilarious!

天候にも恵まれ楽しかったです。船頭さんたちのコミユニケーションも良く、退屈しない様にちゃんと考えてくださっていました。ありがとうございました
恐竜の木が笑えたww

I went in mid-May. The fresh greenery and the refreshing breeze from the river were pleasant. I also wanted to see the changes of each season. I will go again. They were helpful in allowing me to change to an earlier river cruise, one hour before my reservation at the ticket counter!

5月中旬に乗りました。新緑と爽やかな川面の風で心地良かったです。四季それぞれの変化も見たくなりました。また行きますね。窓口で予約より1時間早い川下りに変更も直前に受け付けてくださり、助かりました！

The rain from the previous day had cleared, and the weather on the day was cloudy with occasional sunshine. It was neither too hot nor too cold, making for a comfortable experience on the Hozu River boat ride. Since we were seated in the front row, we could clearly hear the fun stories from the boatman, which added to the enjoyment. The only downside was the murkiness of the water due to the rain the day before. I would love to visit during the cherry blossom season and the autumn foliage season as well.

前日の雨もあがり当日は曇り時々晴れ。
暑くもなく寒くもなく快適な保津川下りを体験できました。
最前列席だったので船頭さんの楽しい話もしっかり聞けて楽しさ増々でした。
前日が雨だったので水の濁りが唯一の残念項目。
桜の季節、紅葉の季節にも来てみたいと思いました。

The waves were calm, and there was almost no rocking, so we arrived at Nagasaki Port in no time.

I would like to use the jet foil again next time.

波が穏やかだったせいもありますが、揺れもほとんどなくあっという間に長崎港に到着しました。

次回もジェットフォイルを利用したいです。

I took the ferry that departed from Fukue Port at 16:50 and arrived in Nagasaki at 20:00. It was cloudy, so I was disappointed that I couldn't see the sunset from the ship, but I was able to relax and enjoy the sea while soaking in the afterglow of the Goto Islands. It was nice to see the night view of Nagasaki from the sea as we entered Nagasaki Port.

福江港を16:50出港、長崎20:00到着のフェリーに乗りました。
曇りだったので船から夕陽を見る事ができなかったのが残念でしたが、五島列島の余韻に浸りながら海を眺めてゆったり過ごせました。
長崎港に入る時は長崎の夜景を海から見られて良かったです。

Thank you for boarding with a good heart despite the 10-minute delay in arrival. The water flow was calmer than I expected, so I was a bit disappointed since I brought a large towel hoping to get splashed more. The boatman was sweating a lot while steering the boat, and his witty storytelling made me laugh. I regret not removing the roof cover when the boatman suggested it. Next time, I would like to board again after the typhoon or in autumn when the maple leaves change color. Thank you very much.

10分遅れの到着でしたが、心を良く乗船してくださってありがとうございました。
水流が思っていたよりも穏やかでもっと水をかぶることを期待して大きなタオルを持って行ってたので少し残念でした。
大汗をかいて船頭さんが操船されていて軽妙な語り口に笑わせてもらいました。
船頭さんから提案があった時に屋根のシートを外しておけばよかったと後悔してます。
次回は台風明けかモミジが色ずく秋にまた乗船したいです。
ありがとうございました。

I checked out of a hotel within walking distance of Fukue Port Ferry Terminal and boarded right away. We arrived in about 30 minutes and landed at the Kirishitan Cave. Inside the cave, it was spacious with a very high ceiling, and light was streaming in. The echoes resonated, and you could definitely tell that there had been masses for the faithful here. I was very moved. After that, I was able to leisurely tour the southern part of the island and its beautiful churches. I was also able to check in early at the hotel and relax in the hot springs. It was great to move quickly and have a relaxed experience.

福江港フエリーターミナルに徒歩圏のホテルをチェツクアウトして、すぐに乗船しました。30分ほどで到着し、キリシタン洞窟にむかい上陸しました。洞窟の中は広く、とても天井が高く、光が差し込んでいました。残響がひびき、確かにここで信徒のミサがあつたのがわかります。とても感動しました。その後島南部と美しい教会をゆつくり観光できました。ホテルにも早めにチェツクインできて、温泉でゆつくり暖まりました。素早く移動できて、余裕のある行動ができてよかつたです。

I traveled from Tokyo to Fukue Island by plane, then went to Kamigoto, exploring the historical sites and churches of the Hidden Christians. Given the theme of my trip, I really wanted to visit Hirado and the outer sea, and this high-speed ferry arrives at Sasebo Port in under an hour, making it easy to travel to Hirado. Once I arrived in Hirado, I was able to enjoy sightseeing at a leisurely pace. Sasebo Port is within walking distance to JR Sasebo Station, and I headed to Hirado from the bus terminal at Sasebo Station. I was moved by the view while crossing the Hirado Bridge.

東京から、飛行機で福江島にいき、それから上五島に行き、潜伏キリシタンの史跡と教会巡りの旅をしました。旅のテーマから、どうしても平戸と外海を訪ねたかつたのですが、この高速船が1時間以内に佐世保港に到着するので、平戸まで楽に移動できて、平戸に着いてから、ゆつくり観光できました。佐世保港はJR佐世保駅まで徒歩で移動でき、佐世保駅のバスターミナルから平戸に向かいました。平戸大橋を渡るときの観望に感動しました。

I bought the tickets directly from Nomo Shipping at the same price, but since I had also requested a tour from Veltra, I applied for both together. The green sleeping cabin had four beds in one room, but I was the only one there, so I could use it comfortably. The crew members were polite, and it felt a bit luxurious, making for an enjoyable sea trip. (The weather was good, so I didn't feel any rocking at all.)

野母商船さんで直接チケットを買っても同じ値段っだったのですが、他にもベルトラさんにツアーを頼んでいたので、一緒に申し込みました。
グリーン寝台で1つの部屋に4ベッドなのですが、自分１人しか居らずのびのび使えました。　船員さんも丁寧な物腰で、ちょっと豪華な客船気分で、楽しい船旅ができました。(天候が良いのもあり揺れは全く気になりませんでした)

I took the trolley from Saga Station to Kameoka Station, and then traveled by bus from Kameoka. There were taxis waiting at Kameoka Station, but they are reservation-only, so if you wish to travel by taxi, you need to make a reservation in advance at Saga Trolley Station.

During the river descent, three boatmen took turns talking to us, and the hour and a half flew by.

One point I would like to see improved is the requirement to print the voucher. Other tour companies allow for voucher-less check-in, where you can simply provide your name at the reception. It feels like a hassle to have to print the voucher and then also write the representative's name and address on paper at the site, making the process feel redundant.

トロッコに乗って嵯峨駅から亀岡駅へ、亀岡からはバスにて移動しました。
亀岡駅にはタクシーも待機していましたが、予約制なのでタクシー移動を希望の方はトロッコ嵯峨駅にて事前予約が必要です。

川下り中は3人の船士さんが交代制でお話くださり、1時間半強があっという間でした。


1点、改善いただきたいのはバウチャーを必ず印刷していかなければいけないというところ。
他の催行会社はバウチャーレスなので、名前を受付でお伝えするだけでチェックインができるようにしてほしいです。バウチャー印刷の上、現地でも紙に代表名、住所等書かなければいけないので手続きが二度手間のように感じます。

The weather was nice, and there was enough space to sleep, so I was able to spend my time very comfortably. Thanks to the reservation, I was able to board without rushing.

天気も良く、寝るスペースもあってとても快適に過ごせました。よやくしたおかげであわてず乗車できました。

On the last day of Golden Week, I thought it would be crowded, but it was actually very empty, and I was able to ride as planned without any wait time. I've ridden it many times, but the beauty of the scenery changes with each season, and I really enjoyed it.

GW 最終日で、混雑してるかと思いきや、すごくすいていて、待ち時間なく予定通りに乗れました。何回も乗った事がありますが、やはり季節毎の景色の素晴らしさがあって、とても楽しめました。

The story from the boatman was enjoyable, and the 1 hour and 40-minute river cruise was a very pleasant early summer experience. Since we had a reservation, we were able to enjoy the sightseeing smoothly as planned.

船頭さんのお話も楽しく、１時間４０分の川下りはとても楽しい初夏のひとときでした。予約していたので、スムーズに予定通りの観光が楽しめました。

I was able to stop by the port's ticket office the day before my travel date and get my boarding pass issued. I recommend this for those who don't want to feel rushed before boarding on the day of travel.

利用日の前日に港の窓口に立ち寄り、乗船券を発券してもらうことが出来ました。当日、乗船前に慌てたくない人にはおすすめ。

At the boarding window at Nagasaki Port, I communicated my reservation details, and they issued my boarding pass immediately. Although I couldn't select my seat in advance, the process was very smooth.

長崎港の乗船窓口で予約内容を伝えたら、すぐに乗船券を発行してくれました。事前に自分で座席指定は出来ませんが、とてもスムーズでした。

By using the Jetfoil service, you can take a free shuttle bus to Arikawa. There are very few buses, so I definitely recommend it for those heading to Arikawa.

ジェットフォイル便を利用することで有川までの無料シャトルバスを利用できます。バスが全然ないので、有川方面へ行く方は絶対お勧めです
