A Japanese yakatabune is a traditional Japanese vessel with a history dating back to the Edo period (1603‑1868). Wealthy merchants and nobles would rent yakatabune in the summer to host banquets and parties, enjoying fine food and song‑and‑dance performances. It is not merely a mode of transport but a symbol of Japanese culture and tradition, representing the Japanese appreciation of natural beauty and the unique way of enjoying life on the water. We offer a range of packages ‑ there is sure to be one that suits you! Here you can enjoy an authentic Japanese experience. Boarding a yakatabune allows you to gain an in‑depth understanding of Japan's history and culture, while the interior decor lets you immerse yourself in traditional Japanese ambience.

Entertainment and cultural performances ‑ Professional performers bring you authentic Japanese shows on board, adding to the enjoyment and cultural atmosphere of your cruise. (If you are celebrating a birthday or anniversary, do let us know in advance ‑ we will be happy to sing a song for you.)

Unique natural scenery ‑ As the boat sails along the sea, you can admire not only the magnificent city skyline but also beautiful natural landscapes. The views are especially captivating during cherry blossom season or the autumn leaves season.

Sukiyaki gourmet experience ‑ If you choose a package that includes a meal, we will serve you fresh and delicious Japanese wagyu beef sukiyaki hotpot, with 10+ free drinks available for unlimited refills.
