Traditional Japanese lunch cruise
Reviewed by: Neil, 2019/04/04This 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.

A pleasant evening cruise
Reviewed by: ETG, 2018/05/04A nontouristy evening excursion. Most passengers are locals out for a pleasant evening boat ride. Very little English is spoken but the staff was eager to please and be helpful, and between hand signals and dictionaries, we were able to communicate well enough. A nice dinner menu starting with sashimi, followed by tempura, rice, soup and dessert. Boat stopped to allowed photos at scenic spots along the Tokyo skyline. Nice evening outing.

Cruise, Dine and Sightseeing
Reviewed by: Sheila, 2017/05/23It was a cool experience to see Tokyo sights like the Rainbow Bridge and Tokyo Tower aboard a Yakatabune while we cruised along Sumida River. But on top of everything else, I enjoyed the Japanese cuisine and unlimited drinks! Also a plus was the Haagen Dazs boat selling varied ice cream flavors. :)

Dazzled
Reviewed by: Sentimental Tamanegi, 2017/05/23A good way to enjoy the Tokyo cityscape at night. The food was delicious and came in generous amounts. Vegetarians and people who are not a fan of raw fish don't need to worry either, as the tour provides alternatives. As for drinks, there weren't a lot of choices, but beer and sake were on the menu, so no complaints. The guide spoke purely in Japanese, but I believe non-Japanese speakers can enjoy the tour regardless.
This tour is perhaps best enjoyed with a group of friends or coworkers.
