Product Info

The content of this product is provided by machine translation and may not reflect the actual information, please take this into consideration before booking.

Take a traditional Japanese houseboat and cruise slowly along the Tokyo River, enjoying the romantic scenery of blooming cherry blossoms.
The history of yakata-boats dates back to the Heian period over a thousand years ago, when they were exclusive pleasure boats for nobles and samurai, used for elegant moon-viewing and banquets. During the Edo period, yakata-boats became a favorite form of entertainment for wealthy merchants and literati, where sightseeing, gatherings, and music all took place on board. Today, these boats still retain their classic wooden exteriors, tatami seating, and exquisite traditional decorations, making you feel as if you've stepped into a time tunnel of classical Japanese culture.
Onboard, you'll also enjoy a live shamisen performance, one of Japan's most representative traditional stringed instruments. Since the Edo period, the shamisen has been the soul of banquets, Kabuki, and classical performances. Its crisp and soulful tone, accompanied by cherry blossoms blooming along the riverbank, creates a unique and elegant atmosphere.

Choose from the following dining options:

Sushi Lunch & Soft Drinks: 8 Selected Seafood Sushi Pieces + Soft Drinks Beef Sukiyaki Dinner: Classic Japanese Hot Pot + Soft Drinks Tea Ceremony Experience & Sweets: Authentic Tea Ceremony + Seasonal Wagashi + Soft Drinks

This unique experience perfectly combines cherry blossom scenery, houseboat culture, traditional music, and Japanese cuisine, allowing you to feel the purest spring romance in Tokyo.
