Reviews
It was an incredible experience to do the boat ride in Dotonbori canal. I highly recommend this activity when you are in Osaka.
what an awesome experience. I recommend doing this in the evening. the lights on the riverside was fantastic.
Sweet little tour up and down the river, especially beautiful to see in the evening with all the lights.
Had such an amazing time on this sightseeing boat tour! The views were absolutely stunning. The crew was approachable Highly recommend this to anyone looking for a unique and memorable way to explore the area!
very nice river cruise, exclusive with great sites of Osaka on both sides. 5-6pm slot should be best to enjoy both day and night sights together
the coordinates for the meeting spot are: (34.6690853, 135.4982518). this was a great tour! I was solo and was able to ask other patrons for a photo. all the beauty of dontonburi with none of the crowds or stress. great music too! the last photo is of the meeting spot.
This cruise experience was great. It is worth it especially at night when you see all the lights.
If it's your first time, we recommend visiting at sunset or at night for the best photo opportunities. For portraits, sunset is ideal, while nighttime is perfect for street photography.
It was a great experience and a lot of fun. The organizer always made an effort to deliver a great show. You can take great photos of all the billboards to the left and right of the water canal. We really enjoyed it. The booking through Klook was fast and hassle-free. Good directions, everything was top-notch. Thank you.
Our family enjoyed the Naniwa sightseeing cruise on a late afternoon while waving to the people watching us pass by. Had a perfect view of Glico Man for picture takingnas well. Will try it again when we get back.
