I was moved by the wonderful talk from the hostess. The attentive care from all the staff was also great. I would like to use this place again if I have the chance.女将さんの素晴らしいトークに感動。スタッフの皆様の細やかな気配りも良かったです。また機会があったら利用したいです。

Despite the unfortunate weather, we enjoyed the talk from the Edo-style female boat rower, delicious food, and all-you-can-drink hospitality! The scenery unique to the rain was✨ incredibly beautiful. They wouldn't let us keep our glasses empty! 🤭 Their attentiveness was wonderful. We had a fantastic time that flew by. It was more satisfying than the price suggested.あいにくの天気でしたが、江戸っ子女船頭さんのトークと美味しいお料理、飲み放題でのおもてなし！雨ならではの景色✨ すごく綺麗でしたよ。 空いたグラスをあけたままではいらせない！🤭お気遣いも素晴らしく👍 あっという間の楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。お値段以上の満足でした。

The yakatabune (houseboat) was surprisingly cool and comfortable, rather than being too hot or cold. The tempura was freshly fried and delicious! Above all, the hostess kept things lively and fun. I would like to use this again to see the fireworks that were recommended.屋形船はもっと暑かったり寒かったりするかと思いきや、とても涼しくて快適でした。 天ぷらも揚げたてで美味しかったです！ 何よりもおかみさんが適度に色々盛り上げてくれて、楽しかったです♪ オススメされた花火を見にまた利用したいです。

I enjoyed the interesting guidance from the hostess. The summer sea breeze was pleasant and refreshing. Since the guests were all Japanese, I had the opportunity to chat with various people. I would like to board again if I have the chance.おかみさんの案内もおもしろく楽しませていただきました。夏の海風が心地よく気持ち良かったです。お客さんは日本の方だけだったので色々お話しさせていただきました。機会があればまた乗船したいと思います。

I am very happy that I was able to feel even a little cool breeze in this heat. I believe the hot days will continue, so please take care of yourself, and I hope you can come to the Rainbow Fireworks in December. I highly recommend it! 💗この暑さの中、少しでも涼しい風を感じられたことが出来た…ということはとても嬉しく思います。まだまだ、暑い日は続くと思いますがお体に気を付けてお過ごしいただき、どうぞ今度は12月のレインボー花火に是非いらしてみて下さい。おすすめです💗

The lively female boat captain was truly wonderful. She provided precise explanations about the shooting spots and guided us, making the two and a half hours fly by. The food was generally delicious, and the freshly fried tempura was particularly great. I would like to visit again in a different season.盛り上げ上手な女船頭さんがとにかく良かったです 撮影スポットや案内など的確に説明していただき、あっという間の2時間半でした お料理も全体的に美味しく、特に揚げたての天ぷらはなかなかでした また別の季節に伺いたいと思います

Winter fireworks are the best! Sashimi and tempura are the best!

I experienced a shared yakatabune (boat) for the first time. Previously, I used Mikawaya for a private charter, and the food was delicious, and the hospitality from the owner was exceptional, so I wanted to use them again and made a reservation! Last time it was a daytime private charter, but this time I was very much looking forward to the night plan, especially since we could see fireworks.

The fireworks lasted for a short 5 minutes, but I was still very satisfied! It might have been the first time in my life that I could see them so closely without anything blocking my view!! It was worth more than what I paid. (If it had been longer than 5 minutes, it might have been too cold and uncomfortable, haha.) The night view of Tokyo was indeed beautiful! If there are any future events like fireworks, I definitely want to participate through Mikawaya! Thank you for the wonderful memories! 乗合で屋形船を初めて体験しました。以前貸切で三河屋さんを利用した際に、料理も美味しく、女将さんの盛り上げも流石だったので、再度利用したいと思い予約しました！以前は昼の貸し切りだったのですが、今回初めての夜プラン、かつ花火も見れるとのことで大変楽しみにしていました。花火は5分間という短い時間でしたが、それでも充分満足できました！あんなに間近で、周りに遮られるものがなく見れたのは人生で初めてかもしれないです！！支払い以上の価値ありでした。(5分以上だと寒すぎて逆に辛かったかも笑) やはり、東京の夜景は綺麗… 乗合で屋形船を初めて体験しました。以前貸切で三河屋さんを利用した際に、料理も美味しく、女将さんの盛り上げも流石だったので、再度利用したいと思い予約しました！以前は昼の貸し切りだったのですが、今回初めての夜プラン、かつ花火も見れるとのことで大変楽しみにしていました。花火は5分間という短い時間でしたが、それでも充分満足できました！あんなに間近で、周りに遮られるものがなく見れたのは人生で初めてかもしれないです！！支払い以上の価値ありでした。(5分以上だと寒すぎて逆に辛かったかも笑) やはり、東京の夜景は綺麗でした！ 今後も花火などのイベントがあれば、ぜひ三河屋さんから参加したいです！ 楽しい想い出をありがとうございました！

This was our family's first time participating. As expected from the reviews, the innkeeper's talk really livened things up, and we had a great time. There was a little incident afterward that made us return home late, but the innkeeper truly did her best to help us. This has become a wonderful memory, including that experience.家族で初めて参加させて頂きました。前評判通り女将さんのトークで盛り上げていただき楽しい時間が過ごせました。その後ちょっとしたハプニングがあり、帰宅が遅くなってしまったのですが、女将さんが本当に一生懸命対応してくれました。これも含めていい思い出になりました。

I was able to enjoy both the sunset and the night view. The seating was spacious, and it was quiet, allowing me to enjoy both the meal and the scenery.夕焼けと夜景の両方を楽しめるました。 席幅も余裕があって、音も静かで食事と景色の両方を楽しめました。

It was rainy, but I was able to enjoy the night view quite a bit. I was full and it was delicious. I would definitely come back on another occasion when the weather is nice.雨でしたがいい夜景をそれなりに楽しませていただきました、お腹いっぱい、美味しかった。またの機会イイ天気の時にリピ有りです

I am a tourist from Taiwan, and this was my first time participating in a yakatabune experience with my mother (on October 27, 2024). It was very convenient to take a taxi from the entrance of the Shinagawa Shinkansen station to Mikawaya. We arrived almost an hour early, and the staff asked us to wait at the entrance. That day, there were mostly Japanese tourists, with only a few Koreans and Westerners, but they had someone who could speak Japanese with them.

It was very convenient to take a taxi from the entrance of the Shinagawa Shinkansen station to Mikawaya. We arrived almost an hour early, and the staff asked us to wait at the entrance. That day, there were mostly Japanese tourists, with only a few Koreans and Westerners, but they had someone who could speak Japanese with them. When it was time to board, since the staff only spoke Japanese and I couldn't understand the language, I realized it was time to board when I saw the other tourists getting on^^" So we were the last ones to get on the boat.
Before entering the cabin, we had to take off our shoes. Inside the cabin, there were tatami mats and chairs to sit on, unlike other places where you have to sit cross-legged or kneel. Dinner was already prepared, and the staff came to confirm what drinks we wanted. Then we could start our meal. The tempura was freshly fried, with a variety of options including fish, shrimp, green peppers, and sweet potatoes. They even provided takeout boxes in case we couldn't finish! After the boat set sail, it swayed slightly, but it didn't affect our meal or cause seasickness. The boat would go to a certain point where the water was more stable, and we could change into slippers to go to the top deck to enjoy the night view.
The female host would ask foreign guests to introduce themselves and share which country they were from. That day, there were two guests celebrating their birthdays, and all the tourists sang "Happy Birthday" together, creating a very joyful atmosphere! The staff also proactively refilled drinks, and seeing them busy in the narrow cabin made me feel they were working very hard! The boat's route was fixed, and it didn't go towards Asakusa or the Skytree area. The entire journey lasted about 2 to 2.5 hours. There were also separate restrooms for men and women on the boat. Overall, it was a very nice and special experience. I would definitely go again! 我是台灣遊客,第一次跟母親參加屋形船體驗(2024/10/27),從品川新幹線門口搭計程車過去很方便.我們提早快1小時抵達三河屋,店家請我們在店門口稍坐.當日幾乎是日本遊客,只有少數韓國人以及歐美人,但他們有會說日文的人陪同.到了登船時間.由於店家只會說日文,我也聽不懂日語,看著遊客一個個登船,我才知道要登船了^^"所以我們是最後一個上船的.進入船艙前要脫鞋子,船艙內是榻榻米,有椅子可以坐,不像其他店家必須盤腿或跪坐.而且晚餐都已經準備好了,店家服務人員來會確認要喝什麼酒,飲料.就可以開始用餐.天婦羅是現炸的,種類很多,魚,蝦子,青椒,… 我是台灣遊客,第一次跟母親參加屋形船體驗(2024/10/27),從品川新幹線門口搭計程車過去很方便.我們提早快1小時抵達三河屋,店家請我們在店門口稍坐.當日幾乎是日本遊客,只有少數韓國人以及歐美人,但他們有會說日文的人陪同.到了登船時間.由於店家只會說日文,我也聽不懂日語,看著遊客一個個登船,我才知道要登船了^^"所以我們是最後一個上船的.進入船艙前要脫鞋子,船艙內是榻榻米,有椅子可以坐,不像其他店家必須盤腿或跪坐.而且晚餐都已經準備好了,店家服務人員來會確認要喝什麼酒,飲料.就可以開始用餐.天婦羅是現炸的,種類很多,魚,蝦子,青椒,地瓜.鰻魚...即便吃不完店家也有提供餐盒外帶!開船後,船體會稍微搖晃,但不影響用餐也不會導致暈船.船會開到某一個定點,水波比較穩,也可以換上拖鞋到船頂看夜景 店家女主人會請外國人介紹自己從什麼國家來.當天有兩位客人生日,全部的遊客都一起唱生日快樂歌,覺得好開心的氣氛!服務人員也會主動添加酒水,看他們在狹窄的船艙忙沒停下的忙碌,我覺得很辛苦!船的路線是固定好的,沒有開去淺草或是skytree那邊,整個旅程大概2-2.5小時就會結束.船上也有男女分開的廁所.整體而言是很不錯特別的體驗.可以再去一次!
