What to expect
The history of Yakatabune (houseboats) dates back to the Heian period (794–1185) and the Edo period (1603–1868). Initially, these ornate vessels were exclusively for feudal lords and samurai. Over time, they gradually became symbols of wealth and social gatherings for wealthy merchants. It wasn't until the late 19th century that Yakatabune were officially opened to the public, allowing more people to enjoy this unique cultural experience.
Shamisen Performance: Immerse Yourself in a Cultural Delight During the cruise, you will enjoy a captivating Shamisen performance. The sounds of the instrument are sometimes crisp and melodious, and sometimes deep and sentimental, as if gently flowing on the water. Accompanied by the swaying of the boat and the beautiful scenery along the coast, the music and scenery intertwine to create a unique poetic painting, as if transporting you through time to an ancient and elegant Japanese atmosphere.
Tokyo Bay Cruise: Breathtaking Scenery Awaits Through the boat windows, you can admire the magnificent scenery on both sides of Tokyo Bay, with different views depending on the season. We will depart from the designated pier, pass through Toyosu Bridge and the famous Rainbow Bridge, and finally return to the departure point.
