We spent a week in Tokyo and this ended up being one of our favorite things about the trip. Amazing service, great food and all you can drink. Tokyo bay is very beautiful at night and this cruise lasted over 2 hours taking us to several nice view points where we could snap photos from the upper deck. Our main host for the evening was Kaoruko, she was so nice and friendly making sure the food was to our liking and made sure we always had a drink in our hand. She would explain the different areas of the bay we were exploring in both Japanese and English so that we could understand. Anyone visiting Tokyo should fit this cruise into their itinerary.

The yakatabune (houseboat) is used for various purposes, and this is my first time here. It's stylish in many ways. There was a sunken kotatsu, but we had chair seating during our visit. My foreign friend was delighted! However, the sunken kotatsu allows you to feel the movement of the waves more directly. Compared to others, it feels more elegant and doesn't have a rustic vibe. The all-you-can-drink system is well-organized; they bring drinks when you order instead of self-service. It's a nice cruise dinner experience. Oh, and there was a smoking area too!
屋形船はいろいろ利用していて、こちらは初めてです。
いろいろな意味でおしゃれ。掘りごたつとありましたが、我々のときは椅子席。
外国人の友人と一緒だったので喜ばれました!
しかーし、掘りごたつのほうがダイレクトに波の動きを感じられる。
他と比べるとおしゃれです。泥臭い感じがありません。
飲み放題も自分ではなく、ちゃんとオーダーすれば持ってきてくれるシステム。
おしゃれなクルーズディナーと思えばよし。
あ、喫煙所もあったし!

The boat cruise was very enjoyable. We had a big group and the staff was friendly and enthusiastic. The sights of Tokyo from the water was wonderful. The show near the end of the cruise was entertaining. The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star instead of a 5 star is the quite underwhelming menu. The main dish was tempura, with maybe 4 pieces total. One shrimp. One. Another dish had 3 pieces of sashimi. The rest consisted of small dishes. In the photos, you can see crab legs and a huge plate of sashimi, which is very deceiving. My son was starving when we left. I have a friend who did a yakatabune a week prior with another company and he spoke of crab legs and plateful of sashimi. I guess the big draw is the all you can drink portion of the cruise. If you ordered the food anywhere else in Tokyo, it would probably cost 2000 yen. The staff, ambiance, and the people we were with made the cruise worthwhile.

The cruise was well organised and had an English speaking host which was helpful as the crowd was split about 50/50 of locals to tourists. The food was excellent and the drinks were free flowing - loved the plum wine! We had the opportunity to head onto the top deck of the boat to take photos and enjoy the views of Tokyo. There was entertainment and it was just overall a really pleasant evening. I highly recommend this tour.

We were taken care of by your establishment with a group of nine colleagues visiting from overseas. One person couldn't eat raw food, and another was vegetarian, so after consulting in advance, we were provided with roast beef instead of sashimi and fresh vegetable tempura for the vegetarian staff. We are truly grateful for that.
Of course, the sashimi, crab, and tempura were all excellent, but the deliciousness of the clam rice and miso soup served at the end was truly moving! Thank you for the heartfelt and delicious meal.
We will definitely use your services again!
海外から来ていた同僚と一緒に9名でお世話になりました。1人が生ものがNG、1人がベジタリアンのため事前に相談したところ、刺身の代わりにローストビーフ、ベジタリアンのスタッフには新鮮な野菜の天ぷらをご用意いただき、本当に感謝です。

As the reviews said, the food was delicious, and the staff were very kind. What surprised me the most was that the neighboring table had place cards and appetizers prepared, but it seemed they were canceled and did not board. However, every time a type of tempura was served, it was also plated for that table. My Korean friends who came with me were impressed by this as well. We had a great time throughout our visit.
口コミ通りお料理も美味しく、従業員の方もとても親切でした。何より驚いたのはお隣のテーブル席に席札や前菜などの用意がされていましたがキャンセルされた様で乗船されなかったのですが一種類ずつ天ぷらがあがる度にそちらへのテーブルにも盛り付けられていた事です。一緒に行った韓国のお友達夫婦もこれには感心していました。終始楽しく過ごせました。

It 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. :)

A 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.

Despite everything being in Japanese, the meal, view, entire atmosphere was super! Perfect TGIF moment with fellow coworkers. At first I was worried we would be plastered on the floor like other houseboats, but this one had chairs. Got comfy immediately and began eating and drinking non-stop! The groups we shared the boat with were pretty small and was spacious enough for us to move around inside and outside of the boat.

It was the perfect time for cherry blossom viewing, with the sakura in full bloom. If we could have stopped at a good photo spot, it would have been five stars.

The food was delicious, and my parents, whom I brought along, were very pleased. However, during the reservation, it was mentioned that the course would include a tour towards Odaiba, so I was expecting that. In reality, it was a cherry blossom viewing course that did not go to Odaiba and stayed around Sumida Park the entire time. The cherry blossoms were hardly blooming, and since I had signed up to show my parents the view of Odaiba, I really wished they had at least informed us beforehand that we wouldn't be going to Odaiba. That was the only disappointment.
お料理がどれも美味しく、連れていった両親も大変喜んでいました。
ただ、予約時のコース説明に、お台場方向までの周遊とあったので、そのつもりでいたのですが、実際はお花見コースでお台場方面には行かず、隅田公園の方にずっと留まったままでした。
桜がほとんど咲いていない状態でしたし、両親にお台場の景色を見せてあげたく思って申し込んだので、せめて出向前に、一言、お台場にはいかないと、言ってほしかったなぁと、それだけが残念でした。

Lovely time for our group of 25! As we chartered the boat, we chose to go up the Sumida river rather than around Tokyo Bay, but still managed to fit in Skytree and Rainbow Bridge.
Even though we arrived unexcusably late, our host was lovely and started the clock from then on for the 2 hours...brilliant, friendly service on board, nice food.
A treat not only for our visitors but the locals as well, thouroughly recommend it!

It is a ery nice and complete experience. You can enjoy nice views of Tokyo Bay and a delicious traditional Japanese Dinner. The food was very fresh with Apetizers, sushis, nice tempura cooked on the boat (Vegetables, nice fishes), rice, dessert and open bar.
Nice views from the top of the boat. Few stops to make picturs of Tokyo Skey tree, Rainbow bridges. The staff is very nice and has special attention to guests. Very typical experience, not so many foreigners, lots of Japanese people. We were all very happy and there was a very good atmosphere among guests. I definitely recommend this experience!

Dear Koriko,
Thank you for boarding with us. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the food. I apologize for not being able to meet your expectations regarding the navigation course. I will make sure to note that during the cherry blossom season, the course will differ from the usual one. Additionally, please note that on the 1 hour and 30 minutes course, we cannot reach Odaiba due to time constraints, so if you wish to visit Odaiba, I recommend using the 2 hour and 30 minutes course.
