On February 25, 2017, I went on an overseas trip with my wife for the first time in 30 years to go whale watching. I thought it would be lucky if we saw any whales, but to my surprise and amazement, humpback whales appeared one after another.
Actually, I had previously gone to see whales at Cape Shionomisaki on the Kii Peninsula in Japan, where I saw dolphins and pilot whales, but this was my first time seeing such large humpback whales. It was magnificent and truly moving.
The trick is to look out at the sea and spot the spouts; then you can see their backs, and finally, the tails. However, taking pictures with a mobile phone is quite challenging. I ended up purchasing a photo from a professional photographer on board for $20!
I highly recommend this experience for nature lovers.

30年ぶりの 家内との海外旅行 ホエールウォッチングに行ってきました.
見れたら ラッキーぐらいにおもっていたら
次々 ザトウクジラは あらわれて 驚きと 感動に つつまれました.
実は 以前日本の 紀伊半島 潮岬で 鯨を見に行きましたが イルカとゴンドウは見れましたが
今回のように 大きなザトウクジラは初めて.壮大で 感動しました.
コツは 海を眺めて 潮吹きをみつけること そのあと背中が見えて 最後に 尾が見れます.
でも 携帯で 撮るのは かなりハードルがたかいです.
乗船していた プロカメラマンの写真を $20で購入しました!
自然の好きな方には とっても おすすめです.

Since I was going during whale season, I made a last-minute reservation on a day when I had free time. I was worried because I heard that people who went two days prior didn't see any whales, but we saw plenty! When a whale appeared, they made it easy to understand by indicating the direction using the hands of a clock. We got to see whales swimming and jumping energetically, and I'm really glad I made the reservation. During the trip, we enjoyed views of Oahu from the sea, experiencing scenery that we usually can't see. We could depart leisurely in the morning, and even without breakfast included, we had plenty of fun on the water. I definitely want to participate again next year.
せっかくクジラの時期に行くのだからと予定が空いている日に直前の予約を入れました。
2日前にホエールウォッチングに参加した人は、見られなかったと聞いていたので、心配していましたが、たくさん見られました!
クジラが現れると分かりやすく、時計の針に例えて方角を教えてくれました。
泳いでいるクジラも、元気に跳ぶクジラも見れ、本当に予約してよかったと思います。
移動中は海からオアフを眺められ、普段見ることのできない風景を楽しみました。
朝はゆっくり出発できますし、海の上を楽しむために、朝食は付けなくても十分楽しめます。
来年もぜひ参加したいです。

We participated as a couple ^_^
We were overwhelmed by the numerous slides we had never seen before (´-`)
This time, we were picked up from the nearest hotel, but the distance to the pool was quite long, which left an impression on us. It took about 40 minutes.
We stayed from 11 AM to 3 PM, which was a short time, and the slides in the pool had time restrictions, so we were worried about whether we could ride all of them within that time. However, there were not many people in the pool, and we were satisfied that we could ride all the slides.
Especially, the slide called the FlowRider allowed us to experience a surfing-like sensation, which was a distinctly different kind of fun compared to the other slides.
Also, when you think of pools in Hawaii, there's a strong image of many foreigners, and I was somewhat looking forward to seeing white people in bikinis, but surprisingly, there were quite a few Japanese people as well. In the end, I was just chasing after my girlfriend in her bikini (laughs). In that sense, I definitely recommend it for couples (laughs).
All in all, Wet 'n' Wild had great facilities in the pool, and we had a lot of fun!!
カップルで参加しました^_^
見たこともないスライダーの数々に圧倒されましたよ(´-`)
今回は最寄りのホテルから送ってもらったのですがプールまでの距離が長かったのが印象的でした。だいたい40分くらいですかね。
私たちは11-15時と滞在時間が短く且つプール内のスライダーが時間によって制限されており、時間内に全て乗れるか不安でしたがプール自体の人も少なく全部のスライダーに乗れて満足しました。
特にフローライダーと呼ばれるスライダーはサーフィンのような感覚で波に乗れることができその他のスライダーと比べ一際違った楽しみ方ができました。
またハワイのプールと言えば外人が多いというイメージが強く若干白人のビキニ姿等も楽しみにしていたのですが意外と日本人も多く結局僕は彼女のビキニ姿ばかり追いかけていました(笑)
そういう意味ではカップルで行く方には是非オススメです(笑)
なんだかんだ言ってプール内の施設も充実してて楽
しかったウェットアンドワイルドです!!

On the morning of March 10th, I went with breakfast included. It was a buffet-style meal, and I thought I would take a little bit of everything like in Japan, but there was only one type of bread, one type of muffin, white rice, scrambled eggs, sausages, and cereal (laughs). The American in front of me piled the same food high on their plate, and I thought, "If you put that much on, you can't add more!" but it seems that was the right approach (laughs). I don't eat a lot in the morning, so it was fine, but I couldn't help but laugh at the limited variety ((´∀`*)).
As for the main event, the whale just kept blowing water and showing its back a little, and I didn't even get to see the sea turtles that you always spot when you're out at sea... it left me feeling a bit disappointed. However, the view of Honolulu from the ocean was great ( ◠‿◠ ).
3月10日午前中、朝食付きで行ってきました。
ブュッフェタイプの食事で、日本のつもりでちょっとずつ色々取ろう!と思ったら。パン一種、マフィン一種、白米、スクランブルエッグ、ウィンナー、シリアルだけでした(笑)私の前のアメリカ人が同じものを山盛りお皿に盛り、あんなに入れたら数乗せられないじゃない?と見てたけどアレが正解だった模様(笑)朝からモリモリは食べないから良いんだけど、種類の少なさに笑っちゃいました((´∀`*))
メインの鯨は潮吹きと背中チラ見せを繰り返すだけで、海に出ると必ず見かけるウミガメも見れずう〜〜ん・・・な不発気分でした。海からのホノルルの眺めは良かったですよ( ◠‿◠ )

The weather on the day was decent. The day before, I had seen whales from the balcony of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, so I boarded the shuttle bus with high expectations.
We took a family photo when we boarded the boat (they will come around later to sell it for $20).
Unfortunately, we didn't see any whales, but the family was satisfied to see Diamond Head, which can't be seen from Waikiki Beach. The breakfast was also decent.
当日の天気はまずまず。前日にヒルトンハワイアンビレッジのホテルのバルコニーから、クジラが見えたことから『昨日見れたから期待大!』という気持ちで迎えのバスに乗り込みました。
船に乗船すふ時に家族で写真を撮ってもらいました。(後で20ドルで売りに来ます。)
結局、残念ながらクジラは見れませんでしたが、ワイキキビーチから見れないダイヤモンドヘッドを見れて家族は満足してくれました。朝食もまずまずの内容でした。

I went on the cruise when my parents visited from Japan in mid-February, but we didn't see any whales. However, when I went again with my husband at the beginning of March, they appeared frequently. So, is the probability 50%? I heard that the chances are better around February to March. Also, whales tend to be less active in the morning.
I debated whether to include breakfast or not, but since it was just a 2-hour early bird cruise, it didn't have a luxurious atmosphere, and breakfast wasn't necessary (I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but quite a few people brought snacks and drinks). The view from Waikiki to Diamond Head is fantastic. Therefore, my parents were quite satisfied even though they didn't see any whales. The kids seemed to get bored, which was a bit unfortunate.
I think it's best to consider the primary purpose of the cruise as enjoying the scenery, and if you happen to see whales, that's just a bonus.
2月半ばに両親が日本から遊びに来た時に乗りましたが、鯨は現れず、再乗船券をもらって3月頭に夫と乗ったときにはバンバン現れました。ですので確率は50%?
確率の高さとしては2月~3月頃が良いと聞きました。
あと朝は鯨があまり活動しないとか。。
朝食付きか無しで悩みましたが、たったの2時間のアーリーバードなので豪華クルーズという雰囲気もあまりなく、朝食無しで十分でした(良いのか悪いのか分かりませんが、結構みなさん、スナックや飲み物を持ち込んでいました)。ワイキキからダイアモンドヘッドにかけても眺めは素晴らしいです。ですので、両親も鯨が見れなくてもけっこう満足していました。お子さんたちは飽きてしまってかわいそうでしたけれど。
単に船に乗って景色が見れるのを第一目的として、鯨が見れたらめっけもん程度に考えて乗られたらよいと思います。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the scenery, but we are also disappointed that you did not see any whales. While we ask that you refrain from bringing your own food and snacks, there are tables in the courtyard area of the Aloha Tower Marketplace where you can have a light meal before boarding.

I was able to see whales about four times, and it was really exciting!
However, since the captain's greetings and everything were in English, I was quite nervous (laughs). I think it would have been even more enjoyable if I could properly understand English. The food seemed delicious, but I couldn't handle the smell, so I couldn't participate in the cultural experience (^^;;)
クジラは4回くらい見ることができて、すごく盛り上がりました!
が、船長さんの挨拶や諸々が全て英語だったので、、結構緊張しました(笑)
ちゃんと英語がヒアリングできたらもっと楽しかっただろうなと思いました。
ご飯は美味しかったみたいですが、私は匂いがダメで・・文化体験も萎縮してしまって参加できませんでした(^^;;)

I went to Wet 'n' Wild Hawaii. I visited in early March, and the weather was nice and not cold, so a bikini was enough to walk around outside. Without beach sandals, the ground gets too hot to walk on (when riding attractions, many people often leave their sandals in lockers and walk around barefoot). Also, be careful as you can get quite sunburned if you don't apply sunscreen.
There are no baskets or shelves in the changing rooms, so you'll have to place your bag on the wet floor. If you're concerned about this, it's better to bring something that you don't mind getting dirty.
I followed the advice I found here and didn't take a lunch break, just kept riding attractions. I returned to the hotel around 4 PM, so I could manage a bit of hunger. The park feels a bit compact, but after going around and finding my favorite attractions, I could ride the same ones multiple times since it wasn't too crowded (I went on a Sunday), so I think you can have a lot of fun. There was a smoking area and a bar serving alcohol in the center of the park. It might be a matter of appearance, but you didn't need a passport to buy alcohol. Draft beer was $7-8, and a berry cocktail that looked like shaved ice was $9 (I ordered the same thing as someone else who had it, and it was delicious!). I think it's also good to leave a tip.
If you're unsure whether to go or not, I think you should definitely go!
モニターでウェットアンドワイルドハワイに行きました。
3月上旬に行きましたが天気が良く寒くありませんでした、ビキニだけで十分外を歩き回れます。ビーチサンダルがないと地面が熱く歩けないくらいです(アトラクションに乗るときはサンダルを脱ぐので、サンダルをロッカーに預けて裸足で動き回る方もしばしばいます)また、日焼け止めを塗らないとかなり焼けるので注意が必要です。
更衣室にはカゴや棚が無いので、濡れた床にバックを置くことになります。気になる方は汚れても良いものを持ってった方が良いでしょう。
私もここにあったアドバイスのように昼食は取らずにらずっとアトラクションに乗っていました。ホテルに戻るのも16時くらいなので、多少の空腹も我慢できる感じです。パークは少しこじんまりした印象ですが、ひと通りを回って自分の好きなアトラクションを見つけて、それからは何回も同じものを乗ることができるくらいの混みようなので(日曜日に行きました)、結構楽しめると思います。喫煙所とお酒が飲めるバーがパークの中央にありました。 見た目もあると思いますが、お酒を買うときはパスポートは不要でした。生ビールは7-8ドル、かき氷風?のベリーのカクテルは9ドルでした。(他に頼んでる人がいて、同じものを頼みました。美味しかったです!)チップも払うと良いと思います。
行くか行かないかを迷っている方は、行った方がいいと思います!

It seems that it was the rainy season, and the weather wasn't very good, which contributed to a less than satisfactory experience... When I saw it on TV, I thought it might feel like standing in the ocean, but when I got off the boat, I was submerged up to my chest in cold water, which was surprising and uncomfortable... If the weather had been better, it might have been more exciting... Perhaps the morning timing wasn't ideal either? The light snacks provided were just ham and cheese sandwiches and tortilla chips, which was a bit disappointing. Well, I wasn't expecting much in that regard, but still... During the sea turtle watching, I felt like I was peeking through gaps from behind everyone else, and I didn't even get to take any photos. It was disappointing, especially since I had high expectations.
時季的に雨季にあたるようで、お天気があまり良くなかった所為もあり、いまいちでした…テレビで見た時は、海の中に立っている気分なのかなという気がしてましたが、船から降りる時は胸まで水に浸かって、冷たいやら、ビックリで…お天気が良かったら、もう少し盛り上がったかも……時間帯も朝だったから良くなかったのかな?付いている軽食も、ハムとチーズだけのサンドウィッチとトルティーヤチップスだけで、えーって感じでした。まぁ、そこはそんなに期待していたワケではないですが…ウミガメウォッチングも、みんなの後ろから隙間を覗くようで、写真を撮るところまでいきませんでした。期待が大きかった分、残念でした。

I planned a trip to Hawaii during this season because I wanted to see whales. Believing that we would meet them, eight of us joined this option! We set off with excitement. However, the result was… disappointing. But still, I was gazing at the vast ocean the whole time on board, and it was a very pleasant cruise. We were lucky to have good weather. On the ship, my companion tried making a lei and got a lovely hair accessory. During lunch, while waiting in line, one of my companions got seasick, so I recommend taking motion sickness medication. We could also see the hotels in Waikiki from the sea, making it a fun cruise. Thank you to the crew!
クジラさんが見たくて、この時期にハワイへ行く計画を立てました。クジラに会えると信じて、8名でこのオプションに参加!ルンルンで出発です。でも、結果は…残念でした。でもでも、私は乗船中、ずっと大海原を眺めていたのですが、とても気持ちの良いクルーズができました。天気に恵まれたのはラッキーでした。船内では、ツレがレイ作りに挑戦し、素敵な髪飾りをゲットしていました。ランチは順番を立って待っている時、船酔いしたツレもいたので、酔い止めをお勧めします。ワイキキのホテル群も海側から見られ、楽しいクルーズになりました。クルーさんたち、ありがとうございました。

I had wanted to visit this place ever since I saw it on the TV show "Ariyoshi's Summer Vacation" a few years ago. Since I had purchased a coupon for the course meal in advance, ordering on the day was easy. When I heard "crepe," I imagined something like the famous ones from Harajuku, along with my elderly parents, but what actually came out was a proper "dish." It was quite filling, and I think the taste was to the liking of Japanese people. I also appreciated that the fresh juice was available in a drink bar format.
数年前にテレビ番組『有吉の夏休み』で観て以来ずっと訪れたい店でした。
予めコース料理のクーポンを購入していたため当日のオーダーは楽でした。「クレープ」と聞いて、高齢の両親ともども原宿等で有名なアレのようなものを想像していたのですが、実際に出てきたものはれっきとした「料理」でした。実に食べごたえがあって、味も日本人好みだったと思います。フレッシュなジュースがドリンクバー形式だったのもありがたかったです。

We boarded a boat from the port and arrived at the sandbar after about 30 minutes! From above, the white area is the sandbar, so we were told that it was shallow enough to stand comfortably, and I finally understood what it was like when I saw it. I thought it looked beautiful from the photos and made a reservation, but I didn't expect it to be out in the ocean. Combined with the mysterious atmosphere, it was an even more wonderful place than I imagined! The barbecue lunch on the boat was delicious, and it was fun to see coral and manta rays.

I participated two years ago and had a great time, so I joined again this time. Unfortunately, even though it was the weekend, it seemed like there were fewer tourists than last time, and it felt a bit lacking in excitement (I participated at the end of February). As mentioned in the review I referred to last time, the hula dancers at Ko Olina seem to be very talented, and I was impressed by their beautiful hula, but this time I wasn't as moved. It might be because it was my second time... If you participate during a busier season, I think it will be more lively and enjoyable.
前回、2年前に参加して とても良かったので、今回も参加しました。
残念なことに、週末でしたが前回よりもツアー客が減っているようで
いまいち盛り上がりに欠けた気がします。(2月末に参加)
前回参考にさせて頂いたレビューにもかかれましたが
コウリナのフラダンサーはレベルの高いダンサーが揃っているようで
とても素敵なフラで感激しましたが、今回はあまり感激しませんでした。
2度目だったからかもしれませんが…
ツアー客の多い時期に参加されれば、盛り上がるので楽しめると思います。

My wife and I had a very nice time on the cruise. We decided to do the stake and all you can eat crab legs. The food was good and our waiter was very funny. The only thing we didn't like too much was the crowdedness. My wife is claustrophobic, so she didn't like that the tables were very close together. Other then that being our one complaint, this is a cruise worth doing. The sunset is beautiful!

I was wondering if there would be many people participating in the tour, but there were actually quite a few (mostly young people).
Upon arrival, there was a simple baggage check before entering. The line for entry was a bit chaotic, and I wasn't sure where to stand, but we were able to get in without much confusion.
Once inside, the first thing to do is to store your belongings in a locker. To elaborate on the lockers, you pay for the locker fee in advance at the machine shown in the first image. The large locker costs $18, and the small one costs $13 (as seen in the second image). We used a small locker for the two of us. We managed to enter with just the essentials. You can pay with cash or credit card, and you will receive change. After payment, a paper with your locker number is issued, and you can use that locker. You can open and close it as many times as you need.
The pool itself wasn't crowded, so most attractions had little to no wait time. It was fun, but when it got a bit cloudy, the strong wind made it quite cold. A cover-up is a must!
Among the attractions, the wave pool was surprisingly enjoyable. There are also plenty of slides, so I think kids would love it too.
I highly recommend that everyone give it a try at least once. You can enjoy a different experience compared to the beaches in Waikiki!
ツアーに参加する人はいるのかなと思っていましたが、思いのほか人数が多かったです。(若い子ばかり)
現地に到着すると、入場前に簡単な手荷物検査がありました。入場待ちの列がアバウト過ぎてどこに並べばいいかわかりませんでしたが、たいした混乱もなく入場できました。
入るとまずロッカーに荷物を預けます。ロッカーについて少し詳しく述べると、画像1枚目の機械で先にロッカーの代金を支払います。大が18ドル、小が13ドル(画像2枚目)です。わが家は夫婦2名分で小を利用しました。最低限の荷物でなんとか入りました。代金は現金でもクレジットカードでも大丈夫です。おつりもでます。支払いが終わるとロッカー番号が指定された紙が出てくるので、そのロッカーを使用します。開け閉めは何回でもできます。
プール自体は混んでいなかったので、ほとんどのアトラクションが待ち時間もあまりなく利用できました。楽しかったですが、少し曇ると風が強いせいか極寒でした。はおるものは必須です!
アトラクションの中では波が起こるプールが意外とおもしろかったです。スライダー系もたくさんあるのでお子さんも喜ぶと思います。
みなさんもぜひ一度行かれてみてはどうでしょうか。ワイキキの海とは違った楽しみ方ができますよ!
Aloha, thank you for your valuable feedback. We look forward to your next visit.

In February, known as the rainy season, I participated in my first whale watching cruise. After doing some research, I found that larger boats tend to sway less, which is reassuring for those prone to seasickness, so I signed up for this one. Since I am prone to motion sickness, I made sure to have a hearty breakfast before boarding, opting for a simple plan without breakfast.
On the day of the cruise, there was an unexpected heavy rain that surprised even the locals, but since there was no cancellation notice, we headed to the meeting point. However, after being taken to the port by bus, the tour guide strangely walked at the back of the line, leaving those of us at the front unsure of where to go in the rain. Once on board, no one provided any guidance (or any explanation at all), which led to people mistakenly going to the wrong deck or stopping confused near the entrance. Even after entering the ship, breakfast began without any proper explanation, so those on the no-breakfast plan were probably eating on their own.
I felt a bit nauseous from the smell of food around me, so I went out to the deck to look at the sea as soon as we set sail. Just listening to the announcements from the naturalist was enjoyable. The sea was quite rough with whitecaps, and even when the captain and naturalist announced they spotted a whale, it was honestly difficult for amateurs like us to see. If the weather had been clear and the sea calm, it might have been easier to spot them. It was disappointing, but since the weather and whale appearances are left to chance, I’ve come to accept it. Now I have a reason to try again someday.
However, I can't help but feel that if the care before and after boarding had been a bit more thorough, my overall satisfaction would have been much higher, leaving me with a sense of regret.
雨季と言われる2月、初めてのホエールウォッチングクルーズに参加しました。
色々と調べた結果、酔いやすい人は大きな船の方が揺れが少なくて安心、と見たのでこちらに申し込みました。酔いやすいので朝ごはんもしっかり食べてから乗船しましたので、朝食も無しのシンプルプランで。
当日は現地の方も驚く豪雨でしたが、欠航の連絡もないのでひとまず集合場所へ。
しかしバスで港まで連れて行かれた後、添乗員の方は何故か列の最後方を歩いており、先頭あたりにいた私たちは、雨の中どこへ向かえばいいのかも分からず…
乗船後も誰も案内(というか一切の説明)をしてくれないので、間違ったデッキに上がってしまったり、訳が分からず入り口付近で立ち止まってしまう人ばかり。
船内に入った後も、特にちゃんとした説明もないまま朝食が始まったので、おそらく朝食無しプランの方も勝手に食べていたのではないでしょうか。
私は周囲の食事の臭いで酔いそうだったので、出港早々デッキに出て海を眺めていましたが、Naturalistのお姉さんのアナウンスを聞いているだけでも楽しかったです。
さすがに海は荒れて白波が立っており、CaptainやNaturalistの方がクジラを見つけたとアナウンスしてくれても、正直素人には発見は難しかったです。晴れて海面が穏やかなら、もう少し探しやすかったのでしょうか。
残念でしたが、お天気とクジラの出現は運任せですので、仕方なかったかなと諦めています。いつか再挑戦する名目ができました。
ただ乗船前後のケアがもう少ししっかりしていたら、全体的な満足度はもっと高かったんじゃないかと思うと、こちらは悔しい思いが残りました。
Thank you very much for participating in our cruise. We are truly sorry that the weather on the day of your participation was unfortunate, and we also regret that the guidance provided was insufficient. We will share your comments internally and use them to improve our future cruises and services. Thank you for your valuable feedback.

I participated in a whale watching plan that included breakfast and hotel transfers! To be honest, the breakfast was not great, but it was nice to have the opportunity to eat breakfast on the sea, so I’m glad I included it. The inside of the boat was air-conditioned and a bit chilly, so it's better to bring a jacket. As for the whale watching, I saw a few whale spouts, but I didn’t actually see any whales. Since it’s nature, there’s nothing that can be done about that. However, I was satisfied with the cruise as I could leisurely enjoy the views of Waikiki and Diamond Head from the boat!
朝食付きのホエールウォッチング、ホテルからの送迎付きのプランに参加しました!朝食は正直いまいちですが、海の上で朝食を食べる機会はそうそうないので朝食を付けて良かったです。船内は冷房が効いていて肌寒かったので、上着を持っていったほうが良いですね。肝心のホエールウォッチングですが、数回クジラの潮吹きが見れましたが、クジラは見れませんでした。。自然のことなので、こればかりは仕方ないですよね。船の上からゆっくりとワイキキの街並みやダイアモンドヘッドが見れたのでクルーズとしては満足でした!
Thank you very much for joining our cruise. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the views from the ship. We hope that next time you will also enjoy the spectacular jumps of the whales. If you have another opportunity, please come and search for those active whales with us. All of our staff are looking forward to welcoming you again.

It is right there as soon as you exit after transferring on the freeway. The volume is perfect. The kids were thrilled. My son tried surfing for the first time and did quite well. There are various types of slides, and the atmosphere of the facility was enjoyable without any dull spots.
フリーウェアを乗継ぎ、出口を出たらすぐにあります。ボリュームは満点。子供たちは大喜びでした。息子は初の波乗りに挑戦し、なかなかのパフォーマンスでした。スライダーもいろんな種類があるし、施設の雰囲気もガランとしているところがなくって楽しめました。

On the way to the sandbar, I encountered many sea turtles during the sea turtle watching!
The day I went, the water depth at the sandbar was about knee-deep, which was just right. According to the guide, there are days when the water depth is shoulder-deep... I didn't go snorkeling, but I took a lot of photos and had a great time!
The surrounding scenery was also stunning, and I was truly impressed!
サンドバーに行く途中でウミガメウォッチングでは、たくさんのウミガメに出会えました!!
私が行った日はサンドバーの水深が膝ぐらいで丁度良かったです。ガイドさんによると、水深が肩ぐらいな日もあるとか。。
私はシュノーケリングには行かなかったのですが、写真撮りまくりで満喫しました!
周りの景色もとっても良くて感激でした!!

I went by rental car, and it is quite far. However, it is worth the trip. It wasn't crowded at all. There was no waiting time, so we were able to enjoy ourselves for half a day.
レンタカーで行きましたが結構遠いです。ですが行く価値ありですね
全く混んでいませんでした。待ち時間が全く無いので半日十分遊べなした
