【Travel Report】First Travel Report Where is it going?! (First part)

「よい旅ニュース通信」記者Oです。このサイトは2021年6月にテスト公開しました。コロナ禍の緩和の合間、旅行に出かけてきました。初めての旅レポートをお届けします。

Relaxation of movement restrictions and travel tools

In late October 2021, restrictions on movement were relaxed, and I decided to go out somewhere. This Week's Tok Travel Miles How about departing from Haneda on a 3,000-mile one-way route?

If you are an ANA Miles user, you may be familiar with the "Discount Travel Mile of the Week". However, since it will be a sudden trip and personal miles will not be used for business trips, I think that the number of users will be limited. In the case of reporter O, when he was making a regular reservation, he suddenly saw that the ticket was applied to the "Trip Mile of the Week" route. That was the first time I used it, and it was 3,000 miles from Haneda to Oita.

それ以降、毎週、発表される路線を欠かすことなくチェックし、時々利用するようになりました。もちろん費用面が魅力的ですが、直前に旅先を決めて、出発までの準備に取り掛かること楽しい。仕事を休んで金曜日に出発することで、TRIP感がさらに高まります。同感してもらえるでしょうか？

サービスは2019年4月から始まり、ANAマイル保有者が通常よりも少ないマイルで搭乗できるものです。対象路線は毎週火曜日の昼12時に発表されます。予約は水曜日から可能で、搭乗期間は木曜日から翌週の水曜日までです。

対象ルートの通常マイル数の半分の3,000マイル、4,500マイル、6,000マイル、7,000マイルの路線が発表されます（時期により）。路線は、「東京」「大阪」「名古屋」「福岡」「沖縄」を発地として、地方空港へ向かえます。

Deciding where to go

記者Oは、11/16（火）発表の路線から行き先を選びました。12時過ぎにサイトを確認すると、片道3,000マイル路線は「羽田」⇔「能登」「富山」「庄内」が表示されています。よく出てくる常連区間といえます。この中から「能登」に即決しました。

The award ticket to "Noto" that reporter O chose was 3,000 miles for "Toku Travel Mile of the Week". This time, the 3,000-mile route from "Haneda" was for "Noto", "Toyama", and "Shonai", but I chose "Noto" from among them. In November, the normal mileage for Haneda ⇔ Noto was 6,000 one way.

The relationship between reporter O and "Noto" was around 2013, when he frequently visited Wakura Onsen and Wajima for his work at the time. I have only good memories of Noto's beautiful coastline, nature, food, and the people of Noto. After about 10 years, I decided to go to Noto with my memories of that time.

Transportation to the Hokuriku area

Currently, if you are heading from the Tokyo metropolitan area to the Hokuriku region, you will probably think about using the Hokuriku Shinkansen first. The travel time is about 2:10~2 hours 30 minutes from "Tokyo Station" to the Hokuriku Shinkansen stops "Unazuki Onsen", "Toyama", "Shintakaoka", and "Kanazawa". On the other hand, the flight takes about 1 hour from Haneda to the Hokuriku airports "Toyama (ANA)", "Komatsu (ANA/JAL)", and "Noto (ANA)".

The fare is 12,080 yen (Unazuki Onsen) ~ 14,380 yen (Kanazawa) for a reserved seat on the Shinkansen. In the case of an airplane, it is between about 11,000 yen ~ about 25,000 yen.

For travel, it is easy to choose the casual Hokuriku Shinkansen. However, if your destination is the Noto Peninsula, we recommend taking a plane. Currently, after arriving in Kanazawa by Shinkansen, it is also popular to take a highway bus or a local line to Noto. The only drawback is that it takes a long time to travel.

The Noto Peninsula is the peninsula with the largest protruding area on the Sea of Japan side. For example, it takes about 1 hour 30 minutes ~ 2 hours 30 minutes to get from "Kanazawa" to the popular tourist destination "Wakura Onsen (Nanao City)" located in a position called "Nakanoto". When you go to Noto, we recommend that you forget about Kanazawa and take a leisurely trip through the narrow aria such as a specific city or town in the peninsula on the Noto Peninsula.

In the end, the destination of the first "Good Travel Report" was "Noto". Actually, there are other reasons why I chose "Noto", but in the next article, " Good Trip Report (Part II) I will introduce it in the Now, it's time to go out to Noto!

I would like to express my deepest condolences to all those affected by the Noto Peninsula Earthquake in Reiwa 6. I would like to express my respect to those who are working hard to support the victims and rebuild during this difficult time. It brings back memories of Noto Town, which I visited in 2021. We hope for a speedy recovery in the affected areas. My desire to convey the charm of Noto to as many people as possible remains unchanged. Through this article, I would like to convey the state of Noto Town at that time and share my feelings of support.
