Product Info
- This hospitality plan offers a private houseboat tour of the Shimanto River, known as 'the last clear stream in Japan.' The charm of a private charter is the ability to relax freely with just your friends or family. You can choose your preferred departure time to fit your travel schedule. Spend a premium time enjoying the grand and rich scenery of the Shimanto River in a relaxed atmosphere.
- A scenic cruise route boasting beautiful natural views
- Taking advantage of the 196km-long winding path of the Shimanto River, this cruise route boasts the longest sailing distance in the basin. Since houses and roads are barely visible from the large S-shaped route, it is highly acclaimed for allowing you to fully enjoy the scenery of the great outdoors. Enjoy a relaxing journey on the Shimanto River without worrying about seasickness.
- A popular spot! The only course that visits two sunken bridges
- Sunken bridges are symbols of the Shimanto River landscape. These are bridges without railings that submerge when the river level rises. Their appearance, integrated into the beautiful nature and blending into the landscape, is well-known from movies and posters. This is a special course where you can enjoy both of the two bridges that have served as filming locations out of the 47 existing sunken bridges. Please enjoy the popular scenery from the boat!
- A special time only possible with a private charter
- Enjoy a boat trip with more freedom than a regular service. You can specify your departure time, and we are also open to discussing extensions to the cruise duration. Bringing your own food and drinks is also OK! We offer a variety of meal options available for reservation at an additional cost, including course meals. Seasonal dishes from the Shimanto River tasted in the great outdoors are exceptional! How about spending a moment with your loved ones on a comfortable tatami-floored houseboat?
