It takes a little time to confirm the reservation, so if you're in a hurry, it's safer to book directly with Taiho Nomo Shipping. You also won't be able to use Beltora points.予約確定まで少し時間がかかるので、急ぎの場合は直接フェリー太古 野母商船で予約した方が無難です ベルトラポイントも使えませんでした。

I used it for my trip to Fukue Island. The weather was cloudy, but the waves weren't too bad. I think it would have been good to have measures in place since my wife got bitten by a tick.福江島への旅行のため使用しました。 天気は曇りでしたが、ゆれはそれほどひどくなかったです。 妻がダニに刺されてしまったので、対策があると良かったと思います。

Upon checking, I was told that although I had made a round-trip reservation and payment, the return trip was not secured. Huh? What does that mean? Since it was nighttime at the Hakata counter, I couldn't get assistance and was told to confirm at the reservation counter during business hours the next day. Feeling anxious, I boarded the ship. When I called the next day to confirm, they said it was a confirmation error... Fortunately, since there was a private room available, I was able to board the return trip without any issues, but I wonder what would have happened if it had been fully booked. If there were no problems with the reservation system, I would have wanted to rate it as 'excellent!' 初めて乗船しました。 思ってたより揺れましたが、個室は周りを気にせず快適です。
First night on the overnight ferry. I couldn't reserve a private room, so I boarded with a regular entry. I was able to sleep better than I expected. Having an eye mask makes a big difference. If you want to secure a seat, I recommend lining up early.初めての夜行フェリー 個室が予約できず、通常エントリーで乗船する。 思ってた以上にちゃんと寝れた。 アイマスクあるのとないのとで、だいぶ変わる。 座席確保するなら、早めに並ぶことをおすすめする。

You cannot board with just the voucher from Veltra; you need to exchange it for a boarding ticket at the reception. Once the reception hours start, you can board at any time, but if you board too close to the cutoff time, it might be difficult to move to the shower room. I was worried about the cramped space and whether I could sleep, but the gentle rocking of the waves helped me sleep soundly. Wi-Fi is available, but the signal isn't great...

It seemed like more locals were using this service to come to Hakata than tourists. ベルトラからのバウチャーだけでは乗れず、受付で乗船券への引き換えが必要です。 受付時間が開始されたら乗船時間は自由ですが、あまり間際に乗るとすぐ消灯時間が来るのでシャワールームへの移動が大変かと思います。 狭くて眠れるか心配でしたが、波の揺れが心地よくぐっすり眠れました。 Wi-Fiは通っていますが、やはり電波はよくないです・・・ 海の上だから仕方ないですね。 観光客よりも地元の方々が博多に来るために利用している方が多い印象でした。

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.

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。

The cruise was more comfortable than I expected. I recommend upgrading your room for an additional fee. You can sleep soundly without worrying about others or noise. However, since it's a ship, you can still feel the vibrations. The shower room is clean and spacious enough for one person, with adequate facilities.

Since my flight was delayed, I arrived at the terminal around 22:40, but I had reserved a Green Car sleeper, so it was fairly comfortable. There was a TV, but I ended up not watching it at all. Aside from the general passengers, there was absolutely no sense of privacy, so I was glad I chose the Green Car sleeper. The restrooms and shower rooms were very clean. It's a shame that the only food available was instant noodles. Beer was sold from a vending machine, but I couldn't buy any after 24:00.フライトが遅めだったのでターミナルに着いたのが 22:40ぐらいだったが グリーン寝台を予約しておいたから まあまあ快適でした。テレビがついてはいたが みることもなくおえてしまった。一般の方をのぞいたら プライベート感はまったくないので グリーン寝台にしてよかったと思った。トイレやシャワールームはとてもきれいでした。食べ物がカップ麺ぐらいしかないのが残念ですね。ビールは自販機で販売していたが 24:00以降は買えなかった。

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)

Until now, I had only traveled to Goto by plane or by Kyushu Ferry, but this time I used the overnight ferry "Taiko" operated by Nomo Shipping for the first time. The interior of the ship was clean, and both the shower room and washroom were comfortable to use. Boarding started at 21:45, and it was very convenient that I could use the shower during the time before departure. The green sleeping cabins are separated by gender, and there are curtains installed, so I could rest without worrying about being seen, and I slept more soundly than I expected. The travel time is about 8.5 hours, which is long, but after work, I could sleep on the ship while moving to Goto, so I thought it was an excellent means of transportation. I would like to use it again next time. まず、博多ふ頭第2ターミナル2Fの窓口で乗船手続き。窓口で名前を伝えるだけですぐにチケットを発券してくれました。館内アナウンスでも「旅行会社で発行したクーポンはチケットにお引き換えください～～」的なアナウンスもあり、親切だなと思いました。これまで五島へは飛行機か九州商船の船でしか行ったことがありませんでしたが、今回始めて野母商船の夜行フェリー「太古」を利用しました。船内は清潔で、シャワールームもウォッシュルームも快適に利用できました。21:45から乗船開始して、出港までの時間にもシャワーが利用できるのは… まず、博多ふ頭第2ターミナル2Fの窓口で乗船手続き。窓口で名前を伝えるだけですぐにチケットを発券してくれました。館内アナウンスでも「旅行会社で発行したクーポンはチケットにお引き換えください～～」的なアナウンスもあり、親切だなと思いました。これまで五島へは飛行機か九州商船の船でしか行ったことがありませんでしたが、今回始めて野母商船の夜行フェリー「太古」を利用しました。船内は清潔で、シャワールームもウォッシュルームも快適に利用できました。21:45から乗船開始して、出港までの時間にもシャワーが利用できるのはとてもありがたかったです。グリーン寝台は男女で部屋が別れていて、カーテンも設置されていて、人目を気にせず休めるし、思っていたよりぐっすり眠れました。乗船時間は約8.5時間と長いですが、仕事後、そのまま船中泊で寝ている間に五島に移動できるので、実際はめちゃくちゃいい移動手段だなと思いました。次回も利用したいと思います。

Heading slightly west from the port for 20 km, we reached Arakawa Onsen, then proceeded to the trailhead of Nanatsutake Shrine, where we parked the car. This trailhead branches into two directions towards Nanatsutake and Chichigadake, connecting to their respective hiking paths. Today, we are challenging Chichigadake, which does not have a route map on YAMAP or the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. We progressed along the stream, eventually taking the right fork, crossing a chain barrier, and continuing on the hiking trail. There were many signs of landslides from the mountain side, so we proceeded carefully to avoid slipping. The area was lush with ferns, and we even encountered a larger mamushi snake. Continuing left of the sediment control dam, we crossed a dry streambed and arrived at the charcoal kiln ruins. The route back down is unclear, so let's make sure to remember this landscape well. Eventually, we will merge with the ridge route connecting Nanatsutake and Chichigadake, so it’s important to memorize the two pink tape markers at this junction. From there, a steep ascent with auxiliary ropes continues to the summit. The summit offered a breathtaking 360-degree view. To the east, we could see Nanatsutake, and to the south and west, the East China Sea, the emerald-toned Tonpaku Beach, and various islands, with Saga Island spreading to the north. After descending via the same route, we drove to Onidake and enjoyed a leisurely walk through the gentle grasslands.

Veltra made it possible for me -- as a foreigner with no Japanese language -- to reserve a private room on the overnight ferry from Hakata to Fukue. I'm so grateful for this, because it would've been very confusing to try and book it in person. It doesn't seem like a common route for foreigners.

TIPS FOR FELLOW TRAVELERS: look for "Terminal 2" Hakata Port on google maps, because there are multiple "Hakata Ports" and you don't want to end up at the wrong one.
Once you're at the terminal, head upstairs and wait in line to pick up your actual tickets. There are two lines - the left one is for passengers with vehicles and the right is for passengers only. The VELTRA voucher doesn't function as a ticket, so you have to pick up the actual tickets.
The ferry itself is very clean, quiet, and has multiple vending machines for snacks and drinks (including hot coffee and beer). There is a shower room, but no towels, so make sure to bring your own. Slippers are provided.
If you're large like me (188cm), I would highly recommend booking a twin room for yourself. It was very spacious and I had a great night's rest, considering the ferry begins making stops around 3 AM and you definitely feel it.
For what you get, the price is extremely fair. I actually was worried the booking might be wrong, because it seemed too cheap for a private room (compared to ferries in Europe and the USA). But it all worked out and I got everything that I paid for (and more)!
