Reviews
Look made it very easy. I just showed the attendant my QR code from the app and was provided the tickets to present at boarding. The ferry ride was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. The time at the marimo observation room was about 15 minutes. It was too short to read all the displays but I just took snapshots to read later. All in all it was a great value for the experience.
Smooth ferry ride on the beautiful lake in summer. Easy to redeem voucher with the staff at the pier.
it was a very lovely boat ride. super enjoyable for my family and I. relaxing and easy :)
A tour of Lake Akan takes approximately 85 minutes. Along the way, you can also land on a small island to see marimo, a unique algae found in Lake Akan. The entire boat tour of Lake Akan is very pleasant, so if you have the opportunity to visit, be sure to take a boat trip on the lake.
The lake tour is really beautiful. Before sitting on the green algae, it will be close to the shore and the green algae will bloom. Then we will return at full speed, so choose the seat on the right. It is highly recommended and you need to exchange the coupon. It may be very fast early in the morning and the price is cheaper than in person.
Lake Akan has two piers where you can get on and off the boat. You will first be introduced while sailing around the lake. Unfortunately, the introduction is only in Japanese. Afterwards, you will stop at the Chlorella Museum Island for about 20 minutes, where you can appreciate its formation.
easy to redeem the tickets. highly recommended. comfortable cruise.
the ride on the lake was nice and refreshing . boat was big with much space . the museum is a small one. great experience
The redemption process is quick and the price is very favorable. 10 points recommended to buy. The scenery is also very beautiful.
The price is favorable, and there is a stay at the Chlorella Exhibition Center. The scenery is beautiful and the seats are clean. It is worth recommending.
