A one-day sightseeing tour of the Grand Canyon was held on September 20th.
The customer was a couple living in Texas.
Recently, the Grand Canyon has also become a very pleasant season.
The maximum temperature is around 25 ° C during the day.
However, the minimum temperature at night has dropped to around 5 ° C, so those who stay overnight and visit the Grand Canyon will need to bring a jacket.
I rarely see tourists from overseas, not just Japanese tourists, but recently I have more opportunities to see group tourists on large buses. Most are tours for the elderly living in the United States.
I am enjoying this package tour for the first time in a long time after vaccination.
I had never seen a tour bus until a while ago, so I can feel that America is returning to normal life even in these places.
In Japan as well, vaccination is progressing and the number of people infected on a daily basis is decreasing, so it may be near the day when we will regain our daily lives.
In Arizona, the monsoon, which begins to converge in late September, is very active this year.
In the 2 nights and 3 days tour, the weather changed rapidly and nature showed various appearances.
The photo shows Monument Valley, which is dyed red with the setting sun shining through the clouds. Customers from North Carolina were also very pleased.
On September 18th and 19th, we held a one-night, two-day Grand Circle tour.
The customer was a couple residing in California.
Last year, I had to put up with traveling and going out due to the corona sickness, so I chose this tour for my first trip in a long time.
Although it was a thunderstorm weather forecast in the Grand Canyon, we were blessed with the weather during sightseeing and enjoyed the spectacular view of the Grand Circle.
On September 16th and 17th, we held a one-night, two-day Grand Circle tour.
The customer was a family of three stationed in Texas. My wife and daughter have been traveling from Japan for a long time to visit my father who is currently working alone. The couple seemed to have visited the Grand Canyon 30 years ago, but their daughter wanted to see Antelope Canyon, so they took part in the tour.
The long-awaited sightseeing in Antelope Canyon, the weather was good and there was no congestion, and I was very happy to be able to take many good pictures in the valley.
We asked you to share some photos of Antelope Canyon taken by the customer.
<Indoor facilities in New York require a vaccine certificate>
From Monday, September 13th
Most indoor facilities, including restaurants, require the presentation of a vaccine certificate and ID (name and date of birth).
"Is the Japanese vaccine certificate valid?"
I often get inquiries about it.
Below is the opinion of the Consulate-General of Japan in NY.

I went on a day trip to Sedna on September 15th.
There were 3 groups of participants this time, all of whom were elementary school students.
One of the girls found this project herself and applied for it with her own pocket money when she was disappointed because she couldn't go to see her grandma and travel during the summer vacation. (tears)
Another boy participated in the same sewing trip project "Grand Canyon Edition" last month and was very pleased and repeated this time to "Sedna Edition". (Tears / tears)
Now is the time to refrain from even traveling in Japan.
It's a long way off, such as traveling abroad, but because of this world, there are customers who are enthusiastic about this project and participate in it.
And I feel that you are feeling more joy and excitement than when you offered the trip.
I took a lot of pictures this time as well!
When I imagine everyone's happy faces, my heart gets hot from now on.
We showed you the Grand Circle for 2 days and 1 night on September 14th and 15th.
The customer was a couple living in New York.
The weather was fine this time as well, and the temperature was similar to midsummer during the day, but since it is mid-September, this may be the last heat of the year.
At the Grand Canyon, we were able to see the sunset and the sunrise beautifully, and our customers were very pleased.
This time too, I will post a photo of the bright red sunset and the sunrise in the cloudless sky.
On September 13th and 14th, we held a one-night, two-day Grand Circle tour.
The passengers were a mixed ride of two couples and a couple living in New York and one man stationed in Mexico, for a total of three groups of five people.
Sightseeing in Sedona on the first day and watching the sunset in the Grand Canyon, watching the Asahi in the Grand Canyon on the second day and sightseeing in Antelope, Horseshoe Bend and Lake Powell. So, everyone was very satisfied with the sightseeing in a very pleasant and cheerful atmosphere.
We held a day tour to the Grand Canyon National Park on September 9th.
The customer this time was a man living in Kentucky.
The weather was good and I could see the Grand Canyon clearly.
For the time being, our tours will also be targeted at American residents, but since the absolute number of participants has dropped sharply due to the corona virus, most of the tours that usually have a high mixed ride rate are now mixed rides. is not.
As with this customer, it is difficult for customers who wish to participate in the tour alone to participate in the tour as desired.
If it is a mixed ride tour, you can either participate according to the tour that has already been decided with more than the minimum number of participants, or the fee will be higher, but you can charter like this customer and tour on the desired schedule It will be held.
Recently, I feel very uncomfortable because there are many opportunities to decline the application for a tour for one person because I could not respond as desired by the customer.
I went to the 4 nights and 5 days tour by adding 1 day to the 3 nights and 4 days tour by VELTRA.
I walked along Bryce Canyon's famous hiking course, Navajo Loop, but the 2400-meter-high hike was cool and comfortable even in the daytime. Tourist destinations are more vacant than usual because there are few tourists from overseas.
