Experience a magical evening aboard a traditional Japanese yakatabune, a classic wooden houseboat, as you cruise through the scenic waters of Tokyo Bay. Take in breathtaking views of the city skyline, Rainbow Bridge, and the Tokyo Skytree while enjoying an authentic Japanese dinner. The boat's cozy and nostalgic atmosphere will make you feel like you've stepped back in time, while the sparkling lights of modern Tokyo dazzle outside your window.

Choose from four different meal plans, each offering a delicious course that includes fresh sashimi, crispy tempura, and seasonal dishes. Depending on your plan, you can enjoy premium additions like wagyu beef, lobster, and eel chazuke with truffle.

All plans include an all-you-can-drink option with beer, sake, wine, and soft drinks. The cruise route starts and ends at Shinagawa, stopping at some of Tokyo’s most iconic sights, making it a perfect way to enjoy both traditional flavors and modern views in one relaxing evening.

Unusual dining experience.

Had a great evening on this cruise. The views along the Sumida river were beautiful lit up at night. Food and drink was good and plentiful and the young serving staff were absolutely lovely.
