Yakatabune Shared Plan Lunch Cruise 屋形船乗合プラン ランチクルーズ

Reviewed by: かずちゃん

If you're going to Tokyo, I recommend trying something you've never done before, like a traditional yakatabune (houseboat). The delicious food and the fun guide, along with the boat staff, made the one-and-a-half-hour cruise fly by.

The view of the Tokyo Skytree from the boat was also great. I was able to take some fantastic photos.

Next time, I want to ride while enjoying the cherry blossoms or fireworks.

東京に行くなら、やった事ない事やってみようって事で、初屋形船です。
美味しいお料理と楽しいガイドさん?船のお姉さんと一緒のクルーズ一時間半あっという間でした。

船からのスカイツリーも良かったです。
写真もバッチリ撮れました。

今度は桜の季節か花火見ながら乗りたいな。

Amazing experience

Reviewed by: Robert

What a nice experience in Tokyo. The hosts did not speak a lot of English, but this did not take away from the dinner at all. We felt welcome during the cruise, and all of the guests were friendly.

Easily exceeded our expectations!

My first experience on a yakatabune (houseboat)! 初めての屋形船!

Reviewed by: はみでるプリン

I made a reservation for the lunch course! I took motion sickness medication and was fully prepared, but some people felt groggy (it seems the boat sways due to the waves from other boats during the day). Since it was everyone's first time on a boat, there were some unexpected events, but we had a great time taking commemorative photos with the Tokyo Skytree in the background on the deck✨

The food was the cheapest course, but the tempura was freshly fried one piece at a time and delicious.

何人かはグロッキーに

Thank you for boarding, Mr. Hamideru Pudding. During summer weekends, there are particularly many pleasure boats and jet skis, which can cause some rocking, but I'm glad to hear you had a good time. We look forward to your next visit.

Amazing time!

My husband and visited Tokyo from Washington, DC and were beyond pleased with our experience on the Yukatabune Dinner Cruise! We did many wonderful things on our trip to Tokyo but every part of this cruise exceeded our expectations and we both agree it was our favorite part of the trip! The food was delicious and plentiful-sashimi, tempura, noodles, and more! We were stuffed! The drinks kept flowing and the whole boat turned into one big party of laughter and fun! Friendly staff and great company! We even received a beautiful gift when the staff heard we were celebrating our wedding anniversary! We definitely recommend this cruise to anyone who is looking to experience traditional Japanese food and culture in a very fun, unique, and beautiful setting!

The boat was clean on average, but could be better. The food was lackluster. And the tour guide spoke only Japanese, so all of us tourists did not understand a thing. The only good thing is seeing the sites along the river.

We enjoyed our very well organized dinner cruise of Tokyo Bay. We had a beautiful evening, the boat was clean, dinner and sights were explained and the time flew. When we reached a photo op location, we were allowed on the upper deck for a clear view, otherwise we were in the enclosed area below where dinner was served. Our host and waiter was skilled in many languages, making the experience meaningful for all.

The staff's service is excellent. スタッフの対応がすばらしい

Reviewed by: 5さい

First of all, the staff's service is outstanding. There were five staff members on board, and they responded quickly to everything from serving food to providing additional drinks. Celebrations for birthdays and other occasions were lively, and the lion dance performance was also enjoyable.

The boat stops at the Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba, allowing you to go up to the deck during that time. I was able to take photos while feeling the pleasant breeze. They were also very accommodating when it came to taking pictures with the boat in the background and with a staff member who resembled Kei Nishikori. I would love to bring my family again.

まず一番はスタッフの対応が素晴らしいです。五名のスタッフが乗船してましたが、配膳から追加の飲み物まで素早く対応してくれます。誕生日などのお祝いも盛り上がりましたし、獅子舞などのパフォーマンスも楽しかったです。
スカイツリーやお台場では停船し、その間デッキに上がる事ができます。心地よい風を感じながら写真撮影ができました。帰り際の船をバックにした写真撮影や、錦織そっくりのスタッフとの記念撮影も気持ちよく応じてくれました。また家族をつれて行きたいです。

I took a yakatabune (houseboat) for the first time, and it was amazing! Since we had a meal at a table on the boat, my legs didn't hurt at all, which was great. We boarded in the evening, so the sunset was beautiful, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food was just as shown in the promotional photos and was very delicious. Above all, I was very satisfied with the attentive service from the staff.

This activity was easily booked on line and adequate instructions and vouchers were received. The food was excellent and full bar service was a good feature. It caters for tradition Japanese nationals and visitors seeking such an experience. No allowance was made in the commentary or instructions for non Japanese passengers of which there were a few and seating was on floor cushions without any leg space under the table.

I invited my parents to celebrate my father's birthday. Unfortunately, the weather was not great that day, but they were delighted with the unique experience of being on a yakatabune (a traditional Japanese houseboat). The boat stopped at a viewpoint, and we enjoyed the night view. Additionally, the interaction with the people at the neighboring seats was wonderful, making it the best birthday celebration.

So fun!

Reviewed by: cmmoore

We did this cruise on the last saturday in December, and had so much fun! The food was tasty, the sake and beer was abundant, and the staff was charming. The whole activity was family friendly, and we saw people with small children and grandmothers in tow. We were lucky to be in Tokyo when they had fireworks on the rainbow bridge, and it was the best fireworks I’ve ever seen! There was also a traditional entertainer on board, who engaged everyone in a couple of party games. Although we didn’t understand everything that was happening, everyone was gracious and several people in our group took part. I would highly recommend one of these cruises.

There was a mistake about the time of the reservation. I booked for 6pm and we waited for over an hour because the 6pm dinner cruise was not available. Apparently only the 7 pm dinner cruise is available on weeknights. Veltra did confirm our booking at 6 though. There was definitely a disconnect.

Once we got onto the boat, things were good. We had a good time and the atmosphere was fun.

October 2018 Yakatabune Dinner Cruise - Excellent!

Reviewed by: Ryan N

We went on the Yakatabune Dinner Cruise in late October 2018. The directions to the port were clear and easy to follow. Very easy to get to via the subway (Oedo Line - Kachidoki station). I made sure I printed the Veltra voucher emailed to me. When I got to the pier, I showed the attendant the voucher and he directed us to the boat.

Once everyone boarded, they explained everything in Japanese and English (although the English was not great, it was understandable). The food served was delicious. I tried some new things I would never have ordered if I were to pick from a menu. The food kept coming, they served six types of tempura, and it was filling. All you can drink beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) was good too. We had several rounds of sake.

At several locations the boat stopped for picture taking upstairs above the main eating area. It was nice that this was an option. Several people went upstairs to take in the sights during the dinner. The party I was with enjoyed ourselves and the meal, it looked like the other parties enjoyed themselves as well.

If I had the chance, I would go again and would specifically seek the Harumiya Yakatabune cruise because of the wonderful experience

  • The food was excellent, Tempura, rice, soup, and fruits were served after departure.

Yakatabune Boat Dinner

Reviewed by: Dana P

I went to this dinner with my mother and we both had an amazing time. There were several other people from overseas there and they introduced all of us and where we were from, which was sweet. I speak Japanese, but it was almost not necessary as everyone spoke English well. The MC translated pretty much everything into English so everyone could understand. Also, the Japanese locals were kind and joking around with us, so we felt completely comfortable.

The food was very good. And there was a LOT. I see some reviews saying there wasn't enough food, but if you eat all of it and have a reasonable amount of drinks, you will not leave hungry. Obviously it is a traditional Japanese meal, so be prepared to eat Japanese food!! - raw fish, fish cakes, sweet red beans, etc. If you don't like the food, of course you might leave hungry, but you're in Japan so you should try it...

The atmosphere of the evening started out calm, but then it turned into a party. There was singing, a dragon running around pretending to bite people's heads, and taking pictures with giant beer bottles. This might not make sense now, but it will. Harumiya does a great job at entertaining. I was laughing the whole time. So, if you're thinking about going to this dinner, you definitely should.

First time on a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat). 初めての屋形船

Reviewed by: ちーころ

My brother, who lives abroad, came to Japan with guests he has been taking care of locally. Since he has visited Japan several times before, he is familiar with places like Asakusa and Ginza. We decided to go on a yakatabune (houseboat) tour as the final part of this trip. I joined him along with my elementary school son. We received a confirmation call the day before.

On the day of the tour, as we exited the station and crossed Umayabashi, we spotted the boat we were about to board, which got my son very excited! We checked in at the store and waited in front of the store with others who were also boarding the same boat until it was time to depart. A staff member holding a flag guided us to the boarding area, which was just across the crosswalk in front of the store. The weather was nice that day, so there were no issues, but I wondered what they do in case of rain. Only about five people can wait inside the store.

I tend to get seasick easily, and while the boat was stationary, I felt a bit uneasy due to the swaying. However, once we started moving, there were no problems at all. The staff on board were very friendly and accommodating, and the freshly fried tempura was delicious, allowing us to have a great time. We made a brief stop at Odaiba, and the night view from the boat was stunning! There was also a vendor selling clam tsukudani who came by, and I was able to taste it before purchasing, which was great. We enjoyed it at home the next morning and wished we had bought more.

My son has loved water buses since he was little and has taken the route from Takeshiba to Asakusa many times, but those rides only last about 30 minutes. This time, we got to enjoy it for two and a half hours. I was a bit worried about having a child on a full boat and whether we would disturb others, but the staff and everyone else were very kind, and we all had a wonderful time together. I was concerned that some people might get overly drunk at the all-you-can-drink section, but everyone was very well-mannered, which I think was due to the excellent service from the staff.

We took off our shoes to enter the boat, and the interior, including the restroom, was very clean. We were able to enjoy ourselves comfortably until we disembarked, and on the way back, we all talked about wanting to do it again. I wrote a lot, but I wanted to share how much fun we had.

Oh, and the last dessert, the brown sugar pudding bun, was incredibly delicious. I wonder where I can buy it...

海外に住む弟が、現地でいろいろとお世話になっているゲストを連れての来日。過去数回日本観光はしているので、浅草も銀座も慣れているし・・・と思いついたのが屋形船。今回の日本観光の最後に屋形船ツアーを計画し、それに私も便乗して、小学生の息子と参加しました。前日に確認の電話を頂戴しました。
当日は駅から地上に出て厩橋を渡っている時に、これから乗ると思われる船が見えて息子は大興奮!店舗で受付をし、出発時間まで店舗前で同じ船に乗る方々と待機し、時間になると旗を持ったお店の方が乗船場まで連れて行って下さいます。店舗前の横断歩道を渡ってすぐ。当日は天気が良かったので問題ありませんが、雨天の場合にはどうしているんだろう・・・と思いました。店舗内には5名程度しか待っていることができません。
私は船に簡単に酔ってしまう体質で、停船している間は揺れてる・・・と不安になりましたが、動き出したら全く問題なし。船内のスタッフの方々も皆さんとても対応が良くフレンドリーで、揚げたて天ぷらもとてもおいしく、楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。途中、お台場でしばし停船。船上から見る夜景はとてもキレイ!小さな船でアサリの佃煮を売りに来る業者さんもいて、味見もさせてもらえたので、しっかり食べてから購入しました。翌朝自宅でいただきましたが、これがまたとても美味しく、もっと買ってくれば良かったね、と話していました。
息子は小さい頃から水上バスが好きで、竹芝から浅草までの路線には何度も乗ったことがあったのですが、乗船できるのは30分程度。今回は2時間半も楽しむことができました。満席の船内に子供が1人、周りの方々にもご迷惑をおかけすることがないか不安ではあったのですが、スタッフの方をはじめ、皆様に良くして頂き、皆で楽しい時間を過ごすことができました。飲み放題の席では、泥酔したりする人も出ちゃうのかな・・・なんて不安もありましたが、皆様とてもマナーが良く、これもスタッフの方々の給仕が良いからなのかな、と感じました。靴を脱いで船内に入りますが、トイレも含め、船内はとてもきれいです。下船するまで気持ち良く利用することができ、また乗りたいね~と帰り路は皆で話していました。長々と綴ってしまいましたが、とても楽しい時間を過ごすことができたので、それをお伝えしたくて。
そうそう、食事の最後のデザートの黒糖プリンまんじゅうがとても美味しかったです。どこで購入できるのかなぁ・・・。
