What to expect
The history of yakatabune can be traced back to the Heian period (794-1185) and the Edo period (1603-1868). Initially, these ornate vessels were used only by feudal lords and samurai, but over time they evolved into a symbol of wealth and socializing for wealthy merchants. It was not until the 19th century that Yakatabune was opened to the public, allowing more people to enjoy this unique cultural experience.
On board, you can enjoy the magnificent scenery of both sides of Tokyo Bay through the windows, and the scenery here changes with the seasons. In addition, we have prepared wonderful Japanese dance performances for you, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the Japanese cultural atmosphere and feel the charm of tradition. Complimentary non-alcoholic beverages are also provided, so you can enjoy every moment of this historic Yakatabune cruise.
The tour lasts 60 minutes and does not involve going on deck. We will depart from the pier and pass by famous Tokyo landmarks such as Toyosu Bridge and Rainbow Bridge before returning to the pier. The tour guide on board is fluent in English, Japanese and Chinese and will provide you with attentive service throughout the trip to ensure you have an unforgettable experience.
**We welcome private charters, whether it is a family gathering, company event or special celebration, our cruise can provide you with an unforgettable moment, please contact the platform customer service for more information and booking details! **
