Things to do in Dotonbori

Had an absolute ball. super friendly staff, safety was excellent with hand rail getting into boat and comfortable seating. Fun captain and music made it super enjoyable and some brief history in various languages. well thought out quick 20 minute tour but worth it for the experience and photos.

it was a great way to see the city lights! because it rained, we had to wear raincoats. I think I would buy a more flexible ticket next time to try and avoid the rain :) The music was good and the guides were very friendly

It is located under the green bridge. If you search for Wonder Cruise on Google Maps, it will come up. With upbeat music, the host tried hard to keep the atmosphere lively, and since the boat makes a U-turn on the river, you can get a great view of the Glico Man sign whether you sit on the right or the left. They also stop briefly in front of it so everyone can take pictures! For this price, you get to see the night view, enjoy the vibe, and even take photos, so I definitely recommend trying it at least once!

We loved our tour guide, Jin. He explains to us the history and some of the meaning behind some Japanese words which really helps us to know more of the culture behind it. The places he brought us is awesome and the food is good too. We’re exposed to Japanese izakaya culture and the food and the drinks are very good.

Amazing experence with a lively guide. An evening cruise would look amazing, but it's just as nice in the day! safety: Ensured everyone stayed seated in the boat

Our instructor Yoko was so so lovely! We had such a great time. Made our own noodles, charred some chicken l and assembled bowls including our choice of toppings. Great value for money, highly recommend!

Absolutely great experience! I chose the 1.5‑hour night tour, and I’d definitely recommend going for the later time if you’re visiting in summer. I actually ended up with a personal tour, which made the whole drive even better. Seeing Osaka Castle lit up at night, along with the tower, was a highlight. Make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes early, since there’s a short safety video you need to watch before driving. You can also rent a GoPro (extra cost) if you want to capture your driving experience — totally worth it if you want to relive the ride later. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to drive like Mario in Mario Cart 😁 Will definitely be doing this again. 5⭐️ to the crew.

It was a great experience. Fuko was excellent—she explained everything about matcha making and its history. I always thought matcha tasted bitter, but this one was of very high quality and had a smooth, rich flavor. We prepared traditional matcha without sugar or milk. We also learned that matcha is traditionally served in a chawan (a tea bowl) rather than a cup. Rating: 10/10. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Osaka!

This was our second time back in a week that’s how good it was. great value for money and the staff are really friendly and attentive. would 100% recommend
