Shibuya Scramble Crossing cruises

We used this experience in January (Winter) when the water was low and were blown away by our incredible hosts on the boat. They were super knowledgeable about the local area as they shared different significant locations and comings and going of local wildlife (including Mario and Elephants). Safety was their #1 priority with ensuring you enjoy your trip a very close #2 with their great humour making the 2 hours go by super fast. Highly recommend this for your trip! Aim for spring for Sakura that line the river or Autumn for the foliage as maple and cypress line the river too. Don't forget to use the splash guard or invest in a poncho sold at the cruise building alongside souvenirs of the Hozugawa River Cruise experience.

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.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fun and relaxing way to see Osaka at night! The Dotonbori Cruise was lively, with amazing views of the Glico sign and the city lights reflecting on the water. The staff made the experience entertaining and easy to follow, even without knowing Japanese. A great short activity to add after dinner or shopping in Dotonbori — highly recommend! 🚤✨

Buying boat tickets through the app is very easy, and the price is slightly cheaper than at the counter. The place is very beautiful. I went during the fall foliage season. There are ducks, and you can feed them too. It's amazing that the boatman can row with up to 50 people on board. On the way back, they even sang songs live for us. I highly recommend it.

I was thinking of taking the yellow cruise, but since there was a price difference for the ticket, I took that cruise, and it was a really good choice. That cruise was just as fun and comfortable as the yellow cruise, and the music was really loud, which was exciting, and the guide's wit and jokes were really funny. And it was really nice that they even took pictures in front of the Glico sign, the symbol of Dotonbori. This one definitely got a better response from people! It might be different for everyone, but when I went, the people there had the best reactions. And the yellow cruise line was really long!! I set the time for this one late, but I went to buy the ticket early because the time was ambiguous, and I got on the one an hour before because the time was right. That's how fast I got on, and the ticket booth staff spoke Korean really well! And all the staff were really friendly. They were so welcoming, like the staff at the rides. The only downside was!!!!! You have to find a good spot to take a nice picture because of the iron pipes used to cover the roof. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ

I didn't think I'd enjoy this boat but I was surprised it was quite nice and relaxing experience. I stayed in Gora Station area and took the ropeway all the way to Togendai port. The pirate ship dock was in walking distance. The gate officer checked my Klook tickets online and we boarded. There are open seats on the first 3 floors with a small cafe on the first. The top deck has limited seats but people walk around and take photos. The view was quite nice especially during the sunset time. We wanted to see the Hakone Shrine so we only took the ship one way and took a taxi to hour hotel by Gora station after. I'd totally recommend it. I was hoping to see Mount Fuji but it's so far away that you cannot see it unless the sky is absolutely clear. The sky was quite clear on the day we went but still the little bit of clouds covered Mount Fuji's view.

It rained the day before participating in the Okinawa glass boat underwater sightseeing tour, and I was worried that I might not be able to see the fish. However, the weather was beautiful, and the sky cleared up on the day of participation. When I arrived at the West Marine counter, there was a sign showing the clarity of the water and the sway of the waves for passengers to refer to. After boarding, passengers can first enjoy the scenery near the shore from the top deck. When the boat reaches a deeper area, the staff will prompt passengers to go to the bottom level to see the fish, and finally, they can go to the middle level to feed the fish. This activity is very suitable for families to participate in together. My package also included a seafood bowl on the Mobydick ship, with several kinds of fresh sashimi to eat as much as you like. Perhaps because it wasn't peak season and there were fewer people that day, enjoying lunch quietly was particularly relaxing.

Our Yanagawa River Cruise was such a beautiful, dream-come-true experience. I used to only see it on TikTok, and finally we were able to experience it in real life. Even though we arrived a bit late because we got lost, the staff were still very accommodating and made sure we could join the cruise. And our boatman? His voice was amazing. His singing added so much charm to the entire ride. Truly one of the most memorable moments of our Kyushu trip.
