The staff were very polite and taught me well, and I was able to create something I am very satisfied with! I would love to go again if I have the chance to visit Tokyo! ✨

スタッフの方も丁寧に教えて下さり、とても満足のモノを作ることができました！
また東京に行く機会があれば行きたいです✨

A farewell party for a colleague I've worked with for many years. I didn't want it to be ordinary, so I chose a yakatabune (boat restaurant). Since it's hard to gather in the evening, we held it for lunch. I heard there would be a surprise cake, so we went with Tsuri Shin. In the end, everyone was happy, and the guest of honor was moved by the surprise cake. It was great!

長年、一緒に働いてきた同僚の送別会。
ありきたりな物にしたくなくて屋形船を選んだ。夜は集まりにくいのでランチにした。サプライズケーキがあるとの事で釣新さんにした。結果、みーんなが喜んでいて主役本人もサプライズケーキに感激していた。良かった！

This was a fantastic workshop! The instructor gave great explanations and instructions and speaks English. Very friendly and helpful.
My daughter and I did this as a mummy daughter experience and we loved it!

This class was so much fun. Our sensei was amazing. We received excellent explanations & demonstrations to help us understand the process. I would highly recommend this class!!

We used it as a family. Our high school and working children also enjoyed it! The portion sizes of the dishes were more than enough, and we even had leftovers. It was great to have freshly fried tempura! During the cruise, there were explanations of the scenery at each point, which was very enjoyable. For those who haven't tried it yet, I definitely recommend it!

家族で利用しました。
高校、社会人の子供も楽しめました！！お料理の量も十分で、我が家は残してしまうくらいでした。
天ぷらの揚げたてが食べられたのもすごくよかったです！
乗船中はその都度、景色の説明があり、とても楽しかったです☆
まだ利用した事がない方は、絶対に
オススメです！！

This was my best birthday dinner 😃 with wonderful views

Amazing experience, food was delicious! Incredible views of the skyline! Great value for the money.

My kids and I had a wonderful time there. They were all awesome and luckily for us they spoke some English.
We recommend this place to anyone visiting Tokyo.

This was my second experience. Last time, I chose a cherry-colored tumbler from a wide variety of glass shapes and colors, but this time, the colored glasses were limited to light blue, dark blue, and dark red, with only one shape available for each color. Since there were 11 participants from a company alumni gathering, I had hoped to create something with my preferred glass, but in the end, I had no choice but to select a clear glass. Many participants expressed disappointment afterward, saying, "It's a shame there were no colored glasses."

Additionally, last time, the staff made adjustments after the pieces were completed, but that didn't happen this time, which was disappointing. At first, I was nervous about carving, but as I got used to it, it became enjoyable, and I felt like I wanted to challenge myself to create a more elaborate piece with colored glass next time. Overall, it was a very fun experience, and I would like to try it again.

今回2回目の体験です。前回はグラスの形状、カラーが豊富で桜色のタンブラーを選びましたが、今回はカラーのグラスが薄い水色、濃いブルー、濃い赤のみでそれも各色1種類の形状のみでした。今回は会社のOBの集まりで11名参加と言うこともあり、出来るだけお好みのグラスで作成して頂きたかったのですが、結局、透明のグラスを選ぶしか無くて、参加後の感想も「色のグラスがなかったのが残念」と言う声が多数ありました。
また、前回は出来上がってからお店の方が修正を入れてくださったのですが、今回はそれがなかったのが残念でした。
始めは恐々削っていましたが、慣れてくると楽しくなって、カラーグラスでもう少し凝った作品にチャレンジしたいと思いました。
体験としてはとても楽しかったのでまた体験したいと思います。

I chose to celebrate my birthday on a yakatabune (houseboat). The staff was very kind, and the other guests were friendly, making it a birthday to remember for a lifetime.

誕生日のお祝いを屋形船でしたく選びました。とても親切でお客さんたちも優しく一生の思い出になる誕生日を過ごせたと喜んでいました。

Among the many plans available for groups, this place also offers plans for smaller numbers, so I applied. I was informed that the event would be held once the planned number of participants was reached, but I received a message confirming that it was all set. It was my first time on a yakatabune, and the food (especially the freshly fried tempura) was delicious. The view was also great. The all-you-can-drink option was nice too. Since this time it was during the day, I thought I would like to see the night view next time if I have the opportunity.

団体様向けのプランが多い中、ここは少人数でのプランもあり申込しました。開催は申込予定人数達成によるとの事でしたが、連絡があり大丈夫との事でした。屋形船は初めてで料理（特に揚げたての天ぷらは美味しいかった）.景色も良かった。飲み放題も良いですね。今回は日中だったので、機会があったら今度は夜の夜景を見たいと思いました。

The trip exceeded my expectations. The ship anchored between the two platforms set to shoot off the fireworks. Food and drink was plentiful. I didn't expect English service, which was ok since I speak a little bit of Japanese, but one of the waiters spoke perfect English so everything was easy. Given how hot and humid it was, riding in the Yakatabune is an excellent choice for viewing the fireworks. Unlimited beverage service, a clean restroom, and air conditioned cabin made the entire trip enjoyable.

It was a shared boat, but they prepared tables for each group, so we could enjoy ourselves without any hesitation. The staff was friendly, and they promptly took our drink orders. The restrooms were clean, which is reassuring for women.

乗合船ですがグループごとにテーブルを用意してくれたので、気兼ねなく楽しめました。
スタッフさんも愛想がよくて、飲み物のオーダーもテキパキと対応してくれました。
トイレもキレイなので、女性は安心できますよ。

I brought a friend from overseas to join me. I was wondering where to take them in the hot summer of Tokyo, and I decided on this yakatabune (houseboat). We experienced a lot of Japanese culture with the boat and the food, and they were very happy to see the wonderful night view of Tokyo. The staff were also very friendly. I had a great time too. Thank you very much.

海外からのお友達を連れて参加しました。暑すぎる東京の夏に、どこに連れて行こうかと悩み、こちらの屋形船にしました。
船、お食事でたくさんの日本らしさを体験し、また東京の素敵な夜景を見て、とても喜んでいました。スタッフのみなさんもとてもフレンドリーでした。私も楽しかったです。ありがとうございました。

The existence of a yakatabune (houseboat) was not something I had considered much, but for some reason, it crossed my mind, and I decided to board one. I took my elderly parents along. It was a very good experience, and my parents were happy as well. The staff explained the bridges and took photos, creating a warm atmosphere. The tempura was also delicious.

The reason I gave it four stars is that, unfortunately, it rained, and the view wasn't perfect. It's something that can't be helped, but it's disappointing that the experience can be affected by the weather. However, I believe that even in rainy weather, unless the conditions are really bad, the cruise won't be canceled, so I think you can still enjoy it.

私の中で屋形船の存在は影が薄いものでしたが、なぜかふと頭をよぎり、乗船。高齢の親を連れて行きました。
とても良い経験でした。親も喜んでいました。スタッフの方が橋の説明をしてくれたり、写真を撮ってくれたり、温かい雰囲気でした。天ぷらも美味しくいただきました。
星が４つなのは、残念ながら雨で、景色がパーフェクトに見えなかったことです。仕方のないことですが、天候に左右されてしまうのが残念なところ。でも、雨天であっても、よほどの悪天候でなければ欠航にはならないと思うので、楽しめると思います。

I visited with four friends. The sashimi was fresh, and they brought out one type of tempura at a time, so everything was hot and enjoyable. Since it was an all-you-can-drink option, we were also quite full. Fortunately, the weather was nice, and we were able to enjoy the night view. The staff was very kind, and the restrooms were very clean, making for a thoroughly satisfying experience. Thank you very much.

友人4人と利用させて頂きました。お刺身も新鮮、揚げたての天ぷらを1種類づつ運んで下さったので、全てアツアツで楽しめました。飲み放題でしたので、お腹も一杯になりました。幸い天気にも恵まれ、夜景も楽しむことが出来ました。店員の皆さんも、とても、親切で、トイレもとてもきれいで大満足のひとときとなりました。ありがとうございました。

A very good experience : nice boat, nice people, nice food, nice beverages, what else ? Yes, nice views 👌🏻. Everything perfect. Thank you 🙏

A lively female captain? She explained the bridge and various episodes visible from the boat in a fun way, making the two and a half hours fly by. Thank you for the delicious tempura as well.

女性の元気な船長さん？
船から見える橋や色々なエピソードを
楽しく説明してくれて
あっという間の２時間半でした。
天ぷらも美味しくありがとうございました。

She was very friendly and went through every step to show us how to do it.
My daughter thinks that she can fix some of chipped bowls at her home.
She is going to buy all tools need while we’re in Japan.

After boarding, it was just the right time for sunset, and I was able to enjoy both the evening view and the night scenery! Since I had a seat, my legs were comfortable, and the meals were served one by one as freshly fried tempura. At the view spots, the boat stopped, and I was allowed to go out on the deck to take photos. I often get seasick, so I was a little worried, but I didn't feel it at all and had a great time! I was very satisfied!

乗船してしばらくすると丁度サンセットの時間となり、夜の夜景と両方とも楽しむ事が出来ました！
椅子席だったので脚も楽だし、食事も揚げたての天ぷらを一品づつ提供してもらえるし、
ビュースポットでは船を停めてくれ、デッキに出て写真を撮ることもok👌
船酔いしがちな私。少し心配していましたが全く感じる事無く満喫しました！
大満足でした！

I rode in early June, and the temperature was just right, allowing us to enjoy the evening scenery. The boat stopped for a while near Odaiba and the Tokyo Skytree, giving us the chance to go out on the upper deck, take photos, and enjoy the view while feeling the breeze. The food was also delicious, with freshly fried tempura and sashimi.

6月上旬に乗りましたが、ちょうど良い気温で夕暮れの景色も楽しめました。お台場やスカイツリーのところでは船をしばらく止めてくれて、上のデッキに出ることができるので、写真を撮ったり風に吹かれながら景色を見たりすることができて良かったです。料理も揚げたての天ぷらやお刺身が美味しかったです。

This was our second time booking this delightful experience—our first was last year, and we were excited to return! The location is very convenient, just a few minutes’ walk from the nearest train station, and easy to find.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warm hospitality. Although the owner doesn’t speak much English, he went out of his way to communicate and make us feel welcome. He was incredibly friendly, kind, and guided us patiently through each step of the sundae-making process.

We could each choose up to five silicone food samples to decorate our sundae. First, we picked the color of the sundae base and then created it under the owner's guidance. After that, we learned how to twirl the sundae, which was really fun, before moving on to the decorating part.

The finished sundaes looked adorable—so realistic and yummy-looking! It was a really fun and hands-on activity, perfect for all ages. We had a great time and made some sweet memories. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and creative experience in Japan

It was more fun than I imagined.
The night view of Tokyo from the boat was very refreshing. Even though it's a landscape I'm used to, seeing it from a low angle close to the river changes the impression.
The guide was very clear while responding to drink orders on board, and I learned new things along the way.
The freshly fried tempura was crispy and incredibly delicious.

想像以上に楽しかったです。
船上から観る東京の夜景はとても新鮮でした。見慣れてるはずの風景なのに、川面に近い低いアングルから観ると印象も変わります。
船内で飲み物のオーダーなら応えながらの要所要所でのガイドも、とてもわかりやすく、新たな学びもありました。
ご飯も揚げたての天ぷらはサクサクですごく美味しかったです。

The storytelling if the first part was great, traditional juggling if the second part was amazing and the lady magician was fabulous. The call spectators to the stage ti participate. If you are really interested in Japanese culture and tradition -this is one of the best ways to go

Our family booked 2 sessions of workshop here, the first to make a parfait, ramen and curry rice, and the second to make 2 tempura sets. We went immediately when we touched down and as there were some delays at the airport and it was raining when we were traveling to the workshop, we were late and the owner of the workshop, Ito san, was standing outside looking worried and waiting for us. When he saw us, he warmly welcomed us and was patient with us whilst we settled down. Ito san was extremely patient and kind when teaching us how to make the various display food, especially with my daughter was so still young and so needed more time/strength to compete the display food. He patiently explained to us the different materials used and also made sure our end products were of high quality, adding on more materials as and when needed. In the end we exceeded our allocated time of 2hours but not once were we rushed at all. Ito san’s sincerity and skills shined throughout our workshops. I also heard the other facilitators teaching and they were patient as well. I would highly recommend the workshops here and thank you so much Ito san for such a memorable experience!

We had a wonderful time making our wax & PVC ramen at this workshop. It was fun and engaging and we highly recommend it!

The night view was wonderful. Seeing Odaiba, the Rainbow Bridge, and the Tokyo Skytree from the boat was the best. I thought the fireworks festival would surely be lovely as well.

素晴らしい夜景でした。お台場、レインボーブリッジ、スカイツリーなど　船から見るのは最高でした。花火大会もきっと素敵なのだろうと思いました。

We had a lot of fun and would recommend to everyone!

It was my first time on a traditional houseboat, and it was so much fun! The food was excellent... Those who are prone to seasickness might want to be careful!

初屋形船でしたがとっても楽しかったです
お料理も最高。。。
船酔いが激しい人は気をつけた方がいいかもしれません！

The weather was favorable, and it was pleasantly cool, almost cold, on the boat. We were able to take turns and go up on deck, where we enjoyed fireworks and drones nearby. I was truly impressed by how different the fireworks in Tokyo are! I would love to participate again next summer!

お天気も恵まれ船の上は涼しく寒いくらいでしたが、交代して船上にも上がれて打ち上げる近くで花火やドローン等思考を考慮されておりさすが東京の花火は違うなぁ〜と感激！又夏もあれば参加したいと思います♪
