Your experience

Embark on a Historical Voyage

Begin your journey through history on a Yakatabune, a traditional houseboat that dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). As you step onboard, prepare for a serene voyage on Tokyo Bay, taking in the stunning cityscape from the rooftop seating area. A highlight of the journey is a live shamisen performance, where the three-stringed instrument's enchanting melody infuses your cruise with a magical atmosphere. Despite its 3 strings, the shamisen creates a rich, mesmerizing sound, a melody known to have entertained the imperial court during the Heian period.

Meal Under the Sky

Inside the boat's lantern-adorned cabin, a Japanese-style Sukiyaki beef meal awaits, promising a delightful culinary journey woven into your voyage. With the availability of an English, Japanese, and Chinese host, this unique Yakatabune cruise is a perfect blend of historical exploration, cultural entertainment, and gastronomical delight.
