Reviews
soo much fun, ready comfortable seats good music and was very easy to find by putting the address into google maps. The meeting area is lit up with blue lights and has signage with “naniwa”. highly recommend!!
It was a great experience and a lot of fun. The organizer always made an effort to deliver a great show. You can take great photos of all the billboards to the left and right of the water canal. We really enjoyed it. The booking through Klook was fast and hassle-free. Good directions, everything was top-notch. Thank you.
the coordinates for the meeting spot are: (34.6690853, 135.4982518). this was a great tour! I was solo and was able to ask other patrons for a photo. all the beauty of dontonburi with none of the crowds or stress. great music too! the last photo is of the meeting spot.
It was an incredible experience to do the boat ride in Dotonbori canal. I highly recommend this activity when you are in Osaka.
what an awesome experience. I recommend doing this in the evening. the lights on the riverside was fantastic.
The Dotonbori sightseeing cruise experienced was fun. The place was too lively, it happened that there was a lot of Cost players along the riverside. We booked for 6pm but decided to go earlier time and the attendant are very accommodating.
The meet up point is a bit misleading. It stated to meet opposite a restaurant but did not mention the front or back entrance of that restaurant. I waited 20mins at the wrong entrance and decided to walk around to check. Managed to find the place eventually. Could be improved by inserting photos for meetup point. The service staff was very friendly and gave us each a blanket as it was quite cold. The overall cruise was 20plus minutes along the dotonburi river, to and fro once. Price is a bit on the high side. But we got the best seat, the front seats, as the whole boat was only us (5 pax). All the photos we can take were unobstructed. There was no vocal guide as we know exactly what we want. No time was wasted so maximum photo shots.
great value for money takes you up and down the river isn’t too long but it’s nice to see everything
Sweet little tour up and down the river, especially beautiful to see in the evening with all the lights.
This cruise experience was great. It is worth it especially at night when you see all the lights.
