Reviews
The kids said it looked boring at first, but once they got on, they loved it and said it was so healing. They said it felt like stepping into the Japanese anime Demon Slayer. I can still vividly picture them waving and greeting people as they passed by.
This was absolutely an excellent experience. The boatman was young and handsome, rowed the boat very hard, and even sang to create a lively atmosphere. The night view was very beautiful, and all the passengers were very happy. The disembarkation point was easy to find. This boat trip was unforgettable, and it was cost-effective and worth recommending. Experience: An extremely pleasant experience!
Very romantic and atmospheric, and the staff are all very friendly. While cruising down the river, we enjoyed the singing of the woman poling the boat. Since we could only communicate with each other in simple English, she was also very enthusiastic in introducing the sights along the river to us. Many people on the banks and bridges take pictures of this special scenery and frequently wave to the passengers on the boat. It is a truly unique experience!
Experience: You ride a traditional boat like a flat-bottomed boat for 20 minutes, and since the captain steers it directly, you could freely enjoy the night view. I dislike the smell of boat fuel, but since it was a wooden rowboat, there was none of that, which was great.
There weren't many people, but the staff were very enthusiastic. They even gave us umbrellas to shield us from the heat, and the boatman was also very friendly, explaining things to us along the way.
hakata river is very clear, the boat ride is smooth and educational.
such a great find in Fukuoka! we loved our boat ride and our guide was friendly and even posed for pictures during our tour! we booked the 6pm ride and it was beautiful with the sun starting to set! I highly recommend this boat tour! Thank you so much for a memorable experience!
It was a special experience. Taking a boat ride to enjoy Fukuoka's night view on a summer evening was quite pleasant. The boat operator was very kind and handsome, definitely worth trying!
I had a wonderful time thanks to the Hakata River Cruise! The location is easy to find, the price is very reasonable, and the staff is amazing! I learned about the city of Fukuoka and its specialties, and I received some great culinary recommendations 😋. Thank you again for the lovely traditional songs and your hospitality in such a magnificent setting.
The exchange is very convenient. You can board the boat before or after the booking time. The scenery along the way is OK. The weather was very good that day, the night view was beautiful, and the weather was not very hot. We chose the 7pm flight, and the boat departed very quickly, which was good and did not delay our trip. Children need to wear protective clothing, but adults do not need to. The whole journey does not exceed 20 minutes, which feels just right. If it takes too long, I might fall asleep. Five stars can be given four stars, which is not bad!
