We redeemed Veltra’s voucher at the Tokai Tour office in Tokyo station at exactly 10am and travelled to Mishima via the first available shinkansen. Luckily we were able to get seats at the unreserved car; ride was very fast and convenient as expected. We stayed for one night nearby area and checked in a ryokan with onsen. The next day we redeemed the 1 day Tokai bus pass and entrance ticket in Mishima Skywalk. As it was cloudy day we were not able to see Mt Fuji but we still enjoy our trip. We used the return ticket to Tokyo at our own convenient time. Highly recommended for tourist who would like to experience riding Shinkansen and visit Mishima Skywalk and do sightseeing at their own phase.

Our tea ceremony with the Maiko was truly one of our favorite things that we did in Japan. She was truly mesmerizing, fascinating, welcoming and so very kind. She was engaging us in really wonderful conversation and gave us such a wonderful glimpse into her life and the hard work it takes to become a Maiko and Geiko. I highly recommend this service and would definitely go back next time I’m in Kyoto. Thank you so much for such a wonderful and memorable experience.

Dan was absolutely amazing! Me and my husband does not know swimming. So he helped the whole time practicing and then through the actual snorkeling. We are very happy and recommend this tour for all beginners and non swimmers
Thank you guys, glad you enjoyed. You did great! Dan.

This package is a must get for visit to Numazu or Uchiura!
We used this package as part of pilgrimage tour to Numazu and Uchiura, where popular anime series Lovelive Sunshine. The package includes ticket to Mishima, which is the closest Shinkansen station.
Pickup ticket is easy, we just went to the tour office at Shinagawa station, present the vouchers, and got the tickets. This save lots of time especially during rush hours when the ticket office has long queue.
Shinkansen is great as always. It is fast, comfortable, and reliable. The train ride from Shinagawa to Mishima took around an hour. Be sure to check out the Bento in stations as they are all delicious.
From Mishima it is a short one stop train ride to Numazu. Numazu is a great small Japan town, which has a different feel to large cities like Tokyo or Osaka. It still retains feel of older Japan before the tourist boom in the last 10-15 years. You won't be able to find a tax free shops in Numazu, which is always a good sign for real authentic Japanese experience.
We visited Awashima Hotel for lunch, which is great value for the quality of the meal. The boat ride to Awashima island should have great view of Mount Fuji, unfortunately we went on a cloudy day.
Numazu also have a great fish market at Numazu Port, with lots of fresh seafood and restaurant similar to the fish market in Tokyo. We definitely recommend Numazu Burger, which has the best fish filet burger we have ever tasted.
Fan of Lovelive Sunshine and Aqours will definitely want to visit Numazu to visit all the spots that appeared in the anime and movie, such as the famous beach, cafe, shopping arcade, and the stamp rally.
Overview we highly recommend getting this Flex Rail ticket to anyone visiting Mount Fuji area and Numazu!

The crew were friendly and helpful, drinks were plentiful (both alcoholic and non), seating was ample and the view of the city, fireworks, stars & moon were stunning. This was my family's "make up" for not being able to stay awake for New Year's eve, and it was worth the cost and hassle of finding parking in Waikiki. My only request would be for better directions to the spot because Duke's is not obvious from the street, and also to remind people while we're checking in (and still on land) to use the bathroom of the nearby restroom - and point out where that is at.

ハナウマ湾は、自然を守る利用からなのでしょうか駐車場が少ない、事前のビデオを見なくてはならないとの理由からどこでも入場前には渋滞しています。
このツアーで参加をするとすべてファストパスのようにすんなり入場できます。
シュノケリングの方は、私達家族は初めてでしたが練習もあり安心して楽しめました。
何より魚が見えるベストな場所に誘導してもらえるのでたくさんのさかなや、突然のウツボの挨拶など綺麗な海を充分に堪能できました。
送迎も、日本語が流暢な外人の陽気なガイドさんが観光案内や美味しいお店の紹介も交えて対応してくれるので、飽きることなく楽しい時間を過ごせます。
はじめはガイド付きツアーで参加するのか迷いましたが絶対にオススメだと思います。
あと、参加後には、海中での記念撮影なども
SNSにアップしてもらえるので本当に至れりつくせりでコスパも最高でした。
パパさん様、この度はご家族4名様でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。私達はハナウマ湾公認のインストラクターですので、入場の際にはどんなに混んでいようともお客様をお待たせする事はございません。またお客様と一緒に泳いで海中もご案内させていただき、初めての方でもハナウマ湾の綺麗な海を楽しんでいただけるように日々頑張っております。お写真も無事見ていただけたようで良かったです。
是非また皆様でリピートしてくださいね。いつでもお待ちしております。
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This was an awesome way to begin our first full "relax day" in Honolulu. The crew on this catamaran was outstanding. They were very friendly and welcoming and really made you feel like they were there just for you. Perfect amount of people on board. The drinks were delicious and rum aplenty. I think if we were to do this again, we would pay for back to back cruises so we'd have more time. Waikiki & Diamond Head from that viewpoint were unbelievable. Thanks for a great time!!!

As a first time snorkelling experience this was great . I was apprehensive as no one in our group knew how to swim but dan was so Patient and helpful . When one in our group almost gave up in the water he encouraged and helped to see the amazing sea life hanauma bay offers . I would definitely recommend this to first time snorkellers .
Thanks guys, you all did great! Hope we see you again. Dan.

Cheiko san was a wonderful tour guide for a first time snorkeler. She was experienced, frhendly and professional! It was wonderful to follow her and explore underwater world. Even though the weather was a bit windy and waves were high, we could still enjoy safe snorkeling with her.
Participants need to bring some extra cash for equipment rental, entrance fee and others.
Thank you, you did great! Hope we see you again. Chieko.

まず、迎えが大型バスでは無く乗用車なので乗り心地がよく空調も寒くないので冷え性にはありがたかったです。
ハナウマ湾までの道すがら、ガイドのチエコさんがハワイの地理や文化、美味しい店などを教えてくれます。
到着すると、チエコさんに導かれるまま、スムーズに色々な手続きをクリアし、トロリーに乗ってハナウマ湾ビーチに到着。用意された、シュノーケル、ライフジャケット、足ひれを装備して早速海へ。この際、チエコさんが髪が乱れる前にしっかり記念撮影してくれます。
ここからは、各人のペースに合わせてとのことなので、あくまで泳ぎが普通レベル&シュノーケリング初体験の一例として書きます。
まず浅瀬でしっかりと泳ぎ方、立ち方、安全や罰金事項の説明があり、割とあっさりと泳ぎ始めました。浅瀬でもたくさんの色とりどりな魚群やサンゴが楽しめましたが、慣れてきたら沖の方へザブザブ繰り出し、そこではクルクル回り続ける銀色の魚や、ウミガメにも会うことができました。
アソコには良く何何がいるよ〜、付いてきて〜と案内してくれるチエコさんのピンクの足ヒレを追いかけてハナウマ湾を泳ぎ周り、最後にはヘトヘトになってビーチにあがりました。
各種装備の運搬や、後片付けもしてくれるので、シュノーケリング後はサービスのポテチと水を頂くだけの楽チンな初シュノーケリングでした。個人的には今回のハワイのアクティビティの中で一番楽しかったです。
よっぽどハナウマ湾に詳しい人でなければ、シュノーケリング素人でも玄人でも頼むべきだと思います。
ただ、自分のペースでビーチでのんびりしたい、波打ち際で家族や友達とワイワイ時間を気にせず遊びたいといった人には向きません、サクサクサクーっとスピーディに潜って帰るツアーです。
リョウスケ様、この度はお二人でツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
この日は他のお客様がいなかったのでお二人だけの貸切ツアーとなり、ラッキーでしたね。お客様の状態やその日の海のコンディションを考えて、その日その時間帯のベストポイントをご案内させていただいております。この日はインサイドよりも沖側の方が透明度が良さそうだったので、沖に出て中央のハートの砂地まで行ってみました。グルグル回りながら泳ぐギンガメアジの群れや、逃げずにゆっくり泳いでくれた亀ちゃんにも会えましたね。初めてなのにとてもお上手でしたよ。
是非またハワイにお越しの際にはお二人でツアーにリピートしてくださいね。またガンガン泳ぎましょう!!
本当にありがとうございました。Mahalo!!

This was definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Japan. The host was very charming. We were invited into and treated to tea and snacks as the Maiko performed a beautiful dance. Initially I was afraid the language barrier would have sullied the experience but her English was quite good! We shared tid bits about our lives as did she. We played games and laughed and in what seemed like no time at all our time was up. Most definitely an experience every person traveling to Japan should live.

We were able to redeem the voucher after lunch, this is not enough as Mishima Skywalk closes by 5 pm. We were not informed by the JR Office that we won't be able to catch the Skywalk, they should have suggested to redeem the voucher the next day. They did not inform us.
After a 55 minute Shinkansen ride, we arrive at Mishima around 3:30 pm, after about 30 minutes of Google Translated communication with the Bus office staff, we finally realised we won't be able to use our Skywalk ticket because the last bus going back to Mishima train station would have already departed once we ride the last bus going to Skywalk. That means we won't be able to use the Unlimited 1 Day bus pass and the Skywalk ticket. It was also raining hard that day. The lady in the desk of the Bus office was very helpful, and even found an english speaking lady from the Tours Office to help us understand that there won't be any bus going back from Skywalk if we take the last bus to Skywalk.
This is ideal if you plan to stay at least one day in Mishima and use the unlimited bus pass the next day.
We weren't able to refund the Mishima Skywalk admission ticket and bus pass.

たくさんのお魚が見れて、ハワイ旅行で1番楽しい思い出になりました!
私は泳ぐのが苦手で、夫はシュノーケリング初めてだったのですが、ちえこさんが泳いでいる間もずっと丁寧にサポートしてくださったおかげで、安心して泳ぎ切ることができました。
水中カメラを持っていなかったのですが、代わりにダンさんがたくさんの写真を撮ってFacebook通じて提供してくださるので大変助かります。
ちえこさんとダンさんがとても明るく、ツアー中ずっと和やかな雰囲気で楽しかったです。本当にありがとうございました。
sada様、この度はブルーハワイダイバースのツアーにお越しいただき、ありがとうございます。
ハワイ旅行で1番の楽しい思い出になっただなんて、私もDANも本当に嬉しく大変光栄に思います!!

I book for 9 people and got 2 Maiko. 1 maiko name Tomie is very good in English she teach us play a game and answer our questions very clear. The owner is good in English too. We got a warm welcome and best experience everyone love it. Tea is quite bitter but they have a Japanese sweet that you can share with your friends. And you have permission to take a picture all times. After tea ceremony they come to send you and take a picture in front of a restaurant.
You can follow google map from VELTRA website and please save a picture of the restaurant because they don’t have a name in English and cannot search in google map apps

Dan arrived early for pick up at our hotel entrance. =) My wife and I have very little to no snorkeling experience, and our swimming experience is very limited. However, Dan and Cheiko made our adventure possible, great for beginners. Dan simplified the instructions to make it easy, fun, and safe for all. Cheiko was excellent in ensuring safety for me as I needed a bit more help/guidance. Saw lots of fishes and would do this all over again.
Thank you, Glad you guys enjoyed. Hope we see you again. Dan and Chieko.

I can't speak highly enough of Dan, he is so kind and patient! He made sure that everyone was completely comfortable in the water with the equipment before starting the tour. He was constantly checking to make sure that everyone was still doing well and took us to some spots further out that a lot of people that were snorkeling on their own weren't going to. I think we got to see a lot more than we would have if we just did it on our own so I highly recommend this tour! We got to see so many different kinds of fish and even a sea turtle! Dan was taking pictures with his GoPro and let us know that he posts them all online on his company's Facebook page and that way you are able to just keep what you want to. Him and his wife were both so sweet and you can tell they really love what they do!
Thanks Ashton, you guys all did great! Your welcome back anytime. Dan and Chieko.
