I was filled with excitement!
As for the experience, after setting sail, we were hurried into the sea with "Hurry, hurry!!"
The local staff guided us with "Right! Left! Down!" and when we looked in those directions, there were so many dolphins!
When the dolphins swam away, we got back on the boat and moved to another spot. (This time we went into the sea three times.)
We then moved to the next spot.
We swam with fish and sea turtles. It was a canoe experience.
After about 40 minutes of fun, we docked while eating cheeseburgers.
On land, we had a hula experience for about 30 minutes.
The water clarity wasn't very high, but there were so many dolphins right in front of us, almost like a video!
I could hear the dolphins communicating!
Dolphins jumped right in front of us!
I was lucky enough to see two sea turtles up close, within touching distance!
I don't think the price was high considering the experience.
All the staff were kind, the driving was safe, and I was able to sleep well on the way back. I felt fulfilled and would love to participate again!
I want to take my future children along someday!
I highly recommend this to everyone!
ワクワクしっぱなしでした☆

イルカの話し声が聞こえます!
イルカが目の前でジャンプします!
海ガメは、運よく二頭を目の前に見ることができました。

On September 11th, my husband and I participated in this activity. I thought the ocean in Hawaii was beautiful, but I didn't realize just how stunning it could be. Despite going by cruiser, the clarity of the water was amazing; you could see the bottom! Unlike the seas in Japan, there were no seaweed or kelp floating around, and there was no distinct ocean smell.
There were beautiful fish (tropical fish!) and we even got to see sea turtles. We were told that we might not see dolphins, but we encountered two groups of them, and we were able to watch them jump and spin like in a show. Dolphins are so cute! I was truly thrilled!
I really felt that coming to Hawaii was the right choice. It was my first time snorkeling, but I was taught carefully, and since I could borrow a life jacket, I was able to enjoy it even though I'm not a strong swimmer. It was also reassuring to have Japanese staff join us in the water.
9/11に夫婦で参加させていただきました。
キレイだと思っていたハワイの海が、こんなにもキレイだとは思っていませんでした。クルーザーで行くところにもかかわらず、海の底が見える透明感がスゴイ!!日本の海みたいに、ワカメやこんぶが浮いていないし、海独特の匂いもしないんです。
キレイなお魚(熱帯魚~)もいるし、ウミガメも見ることができました。見れない場合もあるといわれていたイルカは、2つの群に遭遇することができ、まるで、ショーのようにスピンしながらジャンプする姿も見ることができました。
イルカかわいい!もう、大感激!!
ほんとに、ハワイに来てよかったねーって実感できました。
シュノーケルは初めてでしたが、丁寧に教えてもらえたし、ライフジャケットも借りられたので、泳ぎが苦手な私でも楽しめました♪日本語スタッフが一緒に海に入ってくれたのも、安心できました。

I absolutely recommend this. My daughter and I participated together. We arrived at Kona Marina in 45 minutes from Waikiki, and it felt luxurious, like we were the owners of the yacht harbor we see on TV. We boarded the boat with a handsome young man, a dandy captain, and a cute Hawaiian girl guiding us. Coffee, tea, water, and canned drinks were all-you-can-drink. The tour guide mentioned that encountering dolphins was not guaranteed, so I thought it would be okay if we didn't see any. However, within 10 minutes, we heard "dolphins" and rushed to the bow, where a pod of dolphins was swimming, including a mother and baby dolphin swimming closely together. The boat kept a respectful distance as we watched, and while learning that dolphins are nocturnal and swim while sleeping during the day, they jumped and spun in the air. I only had my camera, so I missed the shutter chance since they didn't announce when they would jump, but bringing a video camera would be a good idea.
Next, we challenged ourselves to snorkel. After receiving instructions, we headed into the sea, but I struggled with breathing and ended up sputtering. I finally got the hang of it and looked into the water at a depth of 6 meters, where the Hawaiian girl guided us to a spot where sea turtles were likely to be. We saw five sea turtles swimming! Then, we heard from the boat, "Dolphins are here," and when we looked into the water, there was a dolphin swimming right next to us. We could hear the dolphin's "pee" sound. My daughter and I popped our heads up to signal that we saw it. She asked the Hawaiian girl if she could try diving, so she took off her snorkel and fins, exhaled, and tried free diving. After a few attempts, she struggled to go deeper and felt pain in her ears, so she gave up. The Hawaiian girl demonstrated free diving quite deeply.
For some reason, that day, there were only three of us snorkeling: my daughter, myself, and another girl from Seattle, so we could enjoy it leisurely. Others on the boat were watching us. After that, we had breakfast on the boat, which included chicken, bread, salad, fruit, yogurt, and muffins, and it was all very delicious. I decided that I definitely want to snorkel again next time. Thank you so much, Alan1. I had a truly meaningful time.
絶対絶対オススメです。娘と二人で参加しました。
ワイキキから45分でコナマリーナに到着、テレビで見るようなヨットハーバーまるで自分たちがオーナーであるかのようなリッチな気分で船に乗り込み、イケメン風のお兄さんとダンディなボーン船長とキュートでかわいいハワイ娘の3人が案内してくれます。コーヒー・紅茶・水に缶ジュースは飲み放題です。ツアーの案内にイルカとの遭遇は確約ではありませんと書いてあったので、会えなくても仕方ないかぁと思っていたら、10分もしないうちに「イルカ」という声で船首に出てみるとイルカの群れが泳いでいました、親子イルカまでいます、親子仲良く離れずに泳いでいます、船はつかず離れずで進んでいきます、イルカは夜行性で昼間は寝ながら泳いでいると説明を聞きながら見ていると、空中に飛び3回転スピン・2回転スピンをしてくれました、カメラしかもっていなかったので、今から飛ぶぞと言ってくれない為、シャターチャンスは見逃しましたが、ビデオを持っていくといいですよ。さあいよいよシュノーケルに挑戦、説明を受けいざ海へ、息の吸う吐くがうまくいかず、げぼげぼ、こつをつかみ水深6mの海の中をのぞいてみる、海がめのいそうなスポットへハワイ娘が案内してくれます、海がめが泳いでいる、しかも5頭もいるではないですか、そして船から「イルカがきたよ」との合図に海の中をのぞく、すぐ横にイルカが泳いでいる、「ピー」というイルカの声が聞こえる、娘と二人顔を出して、見たの合図、娘はもぐってみたいとハワイ娘におねだり、シュノーケルをはずし、足ひれをはずし空気をぬいて、素もぐり、うまく沈まない、2.3回トライ少し深くもぐって耳が痛いと断念、ハワイ娘は、素もぐりでかなり深く沈んで手本を見せてくれていました。なぜかこの日はシュノーケルをする人が私と娘ともう1人シアトルから来た娘さんと3人だったので、ゆったりと楽しむことができました。他の人たちは船から、私達をウォチングしていました。その後は船のなか、チキン.パン.サラダ.フルーツ.ヨーグルト.マフインの朝食、とってもおいしかったです。次回も絶対シュノーケルをしたいと心に決めた日でした。Alan1ちゃん本当にありがとうございました。とっても有意義に過ごすことができました。

It was an absolute pleasure spending the day w/these guys, they were extremely hospitable, made sure we had something to drink as soon as we borded, made sure everyone was entertained and that nobody had empty plates in there hands. There were 2 locations, the first was the sand bar where you could either play volley ball or you can have a practice run with your snorkle gear, we opted for snorkeling even tho there really werent any fish but we managed to keep ourselves occupied. The water is gorgeous! After re-bording the Barefoot I, they had a nice lunch spread out for us, and you can purchase beers for i think about 4 bux a pop. We then moved on to our next location which was a reef, it was the best snorkeling experience i've had, lots of fish, caves, a sea turtle & an octopus (which i didnt get to see), it seemed that we got to spend alot of time in the water which was really kewl! On the way back, the driver was pointing out movie locations and stuff, such as Gilligan's Island

I was drawn to the spiritual concept of "Dolphin & You" and decided to participate.
When I first encountered the dolphins, unfortunately, the timing didn't align for us to swim together, and I was starting to think, "Am I really going to have to go home like this?" However, the leader, Yuriko, and the staff were persistent in their search, and we finally encountered a large pod of dolphins! Just a few inches below me, pairs of baby dolphins and their mothers were swimming! We swam alongside them for a while. Even though I couldn't catch up, they kept coming back, as if they were coming to play with us. There were dolphins winking as they crossed right in front of me and others showcasing impressive spins... they were full of playfulness. I was truly moved.
Additionally, the cheerful staff and Yuriko's engaging talks and attentiveness kept us entertained every second, making me feel like it was "a professional job." I was able to interact with locals, enjoy a homemade lunch with a mini show, and even learn hula from a well-known local teacher. It was all very thoughtful. I felt that the performance was of high quality, well-structured, and based on respect for Hawaiian culture and nature. Given the price, it was definitely not expensive. Thank you, "Dolphin & You"!
「ドルフィン&ユー」さんのスピリチュアルなコンセプトに惹かれて参加しました。
最初にイルカたちに遭遇したときは、残念ながら一緒に泳ぐタイミングが合わず、「もうこれで帰っちゃうのか・・仕方ないかな」と諦めかけていたのですが、リーダーのYurikoさんやスタッフの方たちが粘り強く探してくださって、ついにイルカの大きな群れと遭遇!
自分のほんの数十センチ下を、赤ちゃんイルカとお母さんイルカのペアが、何組も泳いでいます!しばらく平行して泳ぎました。追いつけなくても彼らは繰り返しやってきて、まるで遊びに来てくれているようでした。ウィンクしながら目の前を横切るイルカさんや、見事なスピンを披露してくれるイルカさんも・・彼らは遊び心いっぱいでした。心から感激しました。
それ以外にも、陽気なスタッフと、客を1秒たりとも退屈させないYurikoさんのトークや気配りは、「プロの仕事だなあ」と感じさせました。ローカルの方と触れ合え、お手製ランチにミニshow、現地では有名なフラの先生にフラを習うことができ、至れり尽くせり。ハワイの文化や自然へのリスペクトを基本にしながら、内容も構成も全体によく練られた上質のパフォーマンスであると感じました。これでこの値段は、決して高くはありません。
「ドルフィン&ユー」さん、ありがとうございました!

It's a place with a very nice atmosphere. There are fewer Japanese people here. I was wondering what to do since there seemed to be quite a bit of time before the show, but before I knew it, time flew by as I took a walk, took photos, had some drinks, and got a lei made. I received drink tickets, but I couldn't use them all. The cocktails are generously poured, which is great for those who enjoy a drink. It seems that non-alcoholic drinks were free. During the show, you can eat, dance, chat, and take photos freely, so I think it's fun for families. Of course, couples will be even happier. Women might want to dress up a bit. You'll receive the photos taken, so it makes for great memories. Unfortunately, I couldn't fully understand the jokes made by the guide in English on the shuttle bus. However, you can still enjoy yourself even if you don't speak English at all. The staff can speak a little Japanese, so there’s no trouble communicating. They are very considerate. On this day, I was able to take wonderful sunset photos. Silhouettes of people against the backdrop of a red sky and palm trees. It's a show that makes you think Hawaii is wonderful.
雰囲気がとてもいいところです。日本人は少なめです。ショーまでかなり時間があるようなのでどうするのかなぁと思っていたら、散歩したり、写真撮ったり、お酒飲んだり、レイ作ってもらったりとしてたらあっという間に時間が過ぎてしまいました。飲み物のチケットを貰うのですがとても使い切れません。カクテルのアルコール量はおおざっぱに多めに入れてくれますので酔っぱらいには嬉しいです。ノンアルコールはただだったみたいだし。ショーの最中は食べたり、踊ってたり、喋ったり、写真撮ったり自由にできますので家族で行くと楽しいと思います。勿論カップルで行くとさらに幸せです。女性は少しおしゃれしていくといいでしょう。撮った写真を貰いますのでいい思い出になります。送迎のバスの中は英語なのでガイドがジョークを言ってもよく理解できなかったのが残念でした。でも英語ができないと楽しめないということは全くありません。スタッフは片言日本語ができますので意志の疎通に困ることはありません。よく気使ってくれます。この日素晴らしい日没の写真がとれました。赤く染まった空に椰子の木のシルエットを背景に写る人影。ハワイって素敵だなと思えるショーです。

You might think of Hawaii as a place by the sea, but I highly recommend this (it might even be the BEST of this trip...). All the attractions are extraordinary and incredibly dynamic, far beyond what you can imagine in Japan. In the wave pool, the waves can reach 2 meters, which could pose a drowning risk even for adults... I wonder if such regulations would be too strict in Japan? Basically, overseas, the mindset seems to be that if someone drowns, it's their own fault; it's all about personal responsibility. If you go with the image of a Japanese theme park, you'll be pleasantly surprised in a good way (laughs). You can easily spend a whole day here, but it's definitely worth the fun. Also, as someone else mentioned, when riding the Shaka attraction, be sure to lift your butt off the seat. Your swimsuit will definitely tear, and you might end up with some skin irritation. Be careful!
海のあるハワイでとは思われますでしょうが、これはお勧めです(ひょっとして、今回の旅行でBEST1かも・・・)すべてのアトラクションが桁外れで日本では考えられない程ダイナミックです。波のあるプールでは2m級の波で大人の人でも溺れる可能性があるのでは・・・。日本では規制がうるさいので無理なのかな?基本的に海外では溺れる者が悪い、すべては自己管理してくださいねという考え何でしょうね。日本のテーマパークのイメージで出掛けると、いい意味で期待を裏切られますよ(笑)1日使っちゃいますが、使うだけの楽しさはありますよ。それと、別の方も書き込みしていらっしゃいましたがシャカという乗り物を乗るときは必ずお尻を浮かせてください。確実に水着が破れ、お尻の皮がめくれます。要注意を!!

I visited an adventure park for the first time. It's enjoyable for both adults and children, and my boys, aged 5 and 8, were able to enjoy most of the attractions. They said it was the most fun part of our trip to Hawaii, even more than the pool.
I particularly recommend Hurricane Bay, where you can take bodyboard lessons. You can enjoy riding the waves, both big and small. For beginners, the staff (who were really cool) help you catch the waves. During the lessons, no one else is allowed in the pool, so we felt a sense of exclusivity while others waited by the poolside.
I definitely recommend participating in the Big Splash Package. My husband and kids got so caught up in the fun that they scraped their feet. If you have aqua shoes, it's a good idea to bring them along.
I was very satisfied with the tour and especially with Alan. I left something on the bus on the way back, and the staff was very kind in handling it. All the staff on-site and on the phone were Japanese, which was very reassuring. I definitely want to use Alan's services again next time. Thank you very much!
初めてアドベンチャーパークに行って来ました。
大人も子供もファミリ−で楽しめます。うちは5歳・8歳の男の子ですがほとんどのアトラクションを楽しめました。

Many reviews mentioned that if you use a shuttle service, there isn't much time to play, so I intentionally used a taxi. I was able to enjoy the park from opening to closing, but I ended up spending about $200 (including tips) for the round trip, so I think the shuttle service is more economical. I took my children, aged 5, 9, and 11, and my 5-year-old took a swimming test. Since he passed the test, he was able to enjoy thrilling rides with his siblings and me, which doubled the fun. If you have a child who meets the height requirements and is not afraid of water, I highly recommend having them take the swimming test. The test is passed by swimming back and forth about 10 meters in a corner of the wave pool. The swimming style doesn't matter.
送迎付きだと、遊ぶ時間が少ないと言う体験談が多数だったので、あえて個人でタクシーを使いました。開園から閉園まで遊び尽くせましたが、タクシーだと往復で200ドル(チップ込み)も使ってしましましたので、送迎付きの方がお得と言えばお得だと思います。5歳、9歳、11歳の子供を連れて行き、5歳の子供は、スイミングテストを受けさせました。テストに合格したので、兄弟や私ともスリル感のある物も一緒に出来、倍楽しめました。身長制限のある子供で、水が苦手でない子供を連れている方は是非、スイミングテストを受けさせてみることをお勧めします。テストは、波が出るプールの片隅で、10メートルくらいの間を往復出切れば合格です。泳ぎ方は問いません。

I participated with the Splash Package. There were various slides, and it was the perfect attraction for me since I got bored with the boogie boards. Entry was prioritized for tour participants, so while the park opened at 10:30, those on the tour were allowed in from 10:10. However, even though there weren't that many people in the park, there were long lines for drinks and food. Although drinks are free, during lunchtime, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes to get drinks and food. I also thought that a departure time of 15:00 seemed a bit early.
I recommend it for those who are tired of Waikiki Beach.
スプラッシュパッケージで参加しました。各種スライダーがあり、ブギーボードに飽きた私には丁度良いアトラクションでした。入園はツアーが優先され、10時30分開園のところ、ツアー参加者は10時10分から入れてくれました。ただし、園内はそれほど人が多いわけではないのに、ドリンクや食事には長蛇の列。フリードリンクですが、昼食時間帯になるとドリンクや食事をゲットするまで15分から20分程度かかります。出発時間が15時というのもちょっと早いように思いました。

We participated in the Splash Package for two adults and two children (grades 2 and 6). It was so much fun!! I enjoyed it even more than the kids. There are slides and wave pools in Japan, but the sizes are different. The waves are bigger here. Time flew by in an instant. I thought the gathering time of 2:45 PM was a bit early, especially since the operating hours are until 4:30 PM. Bringing food and drinks is completely prohibited!! They had strict checks, similar to those at an airport. Also, the lockers are small for $5 and large for $9, but for a family, you definitely need the large one. It's a locker that allows you to access it freely throughout the day, so you can enjoy without worrying about money or cameras.

とにかく楽しい!!子供よりも私が楽しんでいました。

We participated as a couple. I had been curious about the sandbar for a long time, and when I found it through a campaign this time, I made a reservation without hesitation. There were quite a few people participating, and we departed from the Kaneohe Bay harbor on two boats. While circling the beautiful sea where we could see the mountains of Kualoa and Chinaman's Hat, we spotted wild sea turtles from the boat. I had imagined the sandbar would be close to the land, but in reality, it suddenly exists in the middle of the ocean, quite far from the shore, surrounded by nothing, and it was more beautiful than I had expected, like a different world! The sea and sand were beautiful, resembling a private beach, and although the time was short, it was a precious experience. We went snorkeling, but there were hardly any fish. A group of older men and women who were on the same boat seemed to be looking forward to playing on the sandbar, but the distance from where the boat stopped to the sandy beach was close, yet the depth was not shallow enough to walk in with clothes on, so they ended up waiting on the boat while everyone else played, which was quite unfortunate. However, the wonderful experience that can only be had here is something I highly recommend! The water is shallow, so it's also recommended for children!
夫婦で参加しました。以前からサンドバーがずっと気になってましたが、今回キャンペーンで見つけ迷わず予約しました。かなり沢山の方が参加していて、カネオへ湾の港から2艘の船で出発しました。クアロアの山々やチャイナマンズハットが見える綺麗な海をぐるっと周りながら、途中野生のウミガメを船の上から見ました。サンドバーは、陸から近い所にあるのを想像してましたが、実際は陸からだいぶ離れた周りに何も無い海の真ん中に突如存在し、そこだけ別世界の様で思っていた以上に綺麗でした!!海も砂も美しくプライベートビーチの様で、時間は短めでしたが貴重な体験が出来ました。シュノーケリングをしましたが、魚はほとんどいませんでした。同じ船に乗ってきた年配の男女数名のグループの方たちが、海には入れないがサンドバーに降りて遊ぶのを楽しみにしてたみたいですが、船が停まった場所から砂浜までの距離が、近いけれど深さが洋服のまま行ける深さでは無く結局サンドバーに降りれずにみんなが遊んでる間船の上で待っていたのがとても可哀想でした。でもここでしか味わえない素晴らしさなので、ぜひ参加して欲しいです!海も浅いので子供さんにもオススメですよ!

My wife and I were just on vacation in Hawaii and decided to take this dinner cruise. We opt for the limo transportation (not worth it, its only a 10 minute ride without traffic) and realized that the docks were not far from the wakiki hotel area. Anyway, they take you onto the boat and direct you to the appropriate floor according to the package you select. We selected the 5 star which was relaxing and not a party environment like downstairs(4 star). You listen to jazz and singing. It's very romantic and the views are out of this world. The 7 course dinner is ok, small protions but you do get kinda full. Couples plan is recommended. They brought our champagne very late which was disappointing but they gave us a free picture and the bottle to make up for it. They give you drink coupons anyway so it's no big deal. Our cruise was almost ruined because of the disrespectful crowd right next to us. One person in particular was laughing very loud you couldn't even hear the perform

Oh my goodness! What a way to start off your Hawaiian vacation. My wife and I attended this luau out of the many choices because it came highly recommended. As soon as you enter, they will take a pic which is free with the royal package. Then you can walk around and take part in the many games. You can also make your own lei hat and other things. It's so cool. When the activity starts, you learn a lot about hawaii tradition at several different demonstrations. Then you go to the ceremonial unconvering of the pig (try not to sit directly in the sun like we did). After that, you are seated to prepare for the show. We chose the royal box deluxe package and received all kind of goodies as well as dinner service. This package is recommended because you can see the show very well and you get served so you don't have to get up. If you want seconds, they will bring it to you. I felt like a king. THe show itself is amazing and a great experience. Oh and they will ask for volunteers

WOrds cannot explain this activity. My wife and I took a vacation to Hawaii as our yearly get away, no special occasion. I served in the military so this was a must for me to go experience. It was recommended for us to arrive early at pearl harbor. It's true that there is a massive line but I recommend that you go a little later than 6am because the line moves pretty quick. Let me explain the process because I did not see anyone mention it. The memorial opens at 7am and people enter inside the welcome center and get a card with a # on it, which puts you in a group. I estimate the group to be about 50 people. After that time, you just roam around the welcome center until your group # is called. Then you stand in line to go into a theater where you will see ACTUAL footage from the war and it's very touching and heart stopping. After that, you go outside to the water taxi (boat) which takes you out to the actual memorial. you can just feel the mood there. Some people can be disr

I went with 7 teenagers. They seemed to enjoy the park. It was very expensive compared to waterparks in California. The extra money we spent to have the BBQ lunch was not worth it. The kids would have preferred hamburgers and fries.There is not much for adults to do except the lazy river. The park was really clean and seemed kept up. The kids liked the surf rider and went on many times. The 5 dollar wristband for that was a good value.

We went as a family of four. This was our fourth visit to Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park, and this time we chose the Big Splash Package for the first time, which I think was the right decision. The kids really loved the bodyboarding lesson at Hurricane Bay that was included in the package. With the instructor giving them a good push at the right moment, they were able to ride the waves surprisingly far and seemed to have a lot of fun. I was worried about my second-grade daughter, but she played and rode the waves the whole time.
I didn't have high expectations for the barbecue lunch, but it turned out to be surprisingly satisfying, with plenty of meat and vegetables. For activities, we went on the water slide with inflatable rings as much as we could, but the kids still wanted to do more. It’s such a fun place that I wish we could have stayed a little longer.
家族4人で行ってきました。
ハワイアンウォーターズアドベンチャーパークに行くのは4度目で、今回は初めてビッグスプラッシュパッケージにしたのですが、正解だったと思います。
子どもたちに大好評だったのが、パッケージに付いていたハリケーン・ベイでのボディボード・レッスンで、インストラクターの方にいいタイミングで押していただくと、びっくりするくらい遠くまで波に乗ることができて楽しかったようです。小学校2年の娘はどうかなと心配していましたが、ずっと波に乗って遊んでいましたよ。
バーベキューランチはあまり期待していなかったのですが、思いのほか充実した内容で、お肉も野菜もたっぷり補給させてもらいました。
アクティビティでは、浮き輪に乗ってすべるウォータースライダーをこれでもかという位やりましたが、子供たちはまだまだやりたらなかったようです。
本当に楽しい場所なので、もう少し滞在時間を長くしていただけないかなと思いました。

Last year, I participated and my wife liked it so much that we applied for a second time. I thought the staff's response was good as well. We were satisfied to encounter dolphins, turtles, and tropical fish.
昨年参加して妻が気に入ってしまい、2回目の申し込みをしました。スタッフの対応もよかったと思います。イルカ、亀、熱帯魚と遭遇して満足できました。

The group that came on the tour entered first, and we entered more than 15 minutes later, but we managed to get the first umbrella in front of the most popular wave pool! The area right behind the umbrella provided shade all day, so while the kids played, the parents could relax and take a nap under the umbrella. Since the kids are now in middle and high school, it seemed like the security in the park was well-managed, which made us feel safe.
ツアーで来られた団体の人たちが先に入場し、15分以上あとから入場しましたが、一番人気の波のでるプール前のパラソルを一番にGET!パラソルの一番後ろは一日中日陰ができるため、子供が遊んでいる間、親はパラソルの下でのんびりお昼寝ができました。子供は中高生になっているので、パーク内で遊ぶ分には、警備もしっかりしているようなので、安心できました。
