Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

So fun!

Reviewed by: cmmoore , 2018/12/31

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.

Traditional Yakatabune River Cruise with Lunch or Dinner in Tokyo

Great value for money

Reviewed by: Maria, 2018/12/29

The food was great, the drinks were plentiful, staff were very attentive and best of all, the crowd was very local, not touristy at all. The only downside of this was that all commentary was in Japanese but the views of the bay pretty much spoke for themselves.

Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Good experience

Reviewed by: Lee, 2018/11/24

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.

Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

October 2018 Yakatabune Dinner Cruise - Excellent!

Reviewed by: Ryan N, 2018/10/31

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 Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Yakatabune Boat Dinner

Reviewed by: Dana P, 2018/09/10

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.

初めての屋形船

Reviewed by: ちーころ, 2018/06/05

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・・・。

Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

All you can drink???

Reviewed by: Peter Terrell, 2018/05/24

When advertising this dinner cruise, please indicate what drinks are "all you can drink". I don't drink sake, whisky and may drink beer, That was it. You get a lot of Europeans and Americans on this dinner, so include things like bourbon and a variety of beers. Food was fine, but I couldn't eat a lot of it as it didn't explain what was what. I ate eel but didn't know till someone told me I had. Andy was a godsend and knew his craft, asset.

A pleasant evening cruise

Reviewed by: ETG, 2018/05/04

A 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.

Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Cruise to rainbow bridge

Reviewed by: Visitor to Japan , 2018/04/10

Nice cruise to rainbow bridge. Beautiful view of lit up bridge, Tokyo tower and sky tree tower. Japanese style dinner. Plentiful food but mostly all raw fish, and pickled things. Tempura eel, squid and potato. For me as a westerner who doesn’t eat raw fish it would have been nice to have a food choice. The advertisement said it was a cherry blossom special cruise but we saw no cherry blossoms so I was somewhat disappointed. Beer and alcohol was plentiful. I would go again but I would eat before hand.

Reviewed by: JNDCali, 2017/11/28

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.

Yakatabune Tokyo Dinner Cruise with All-You-Can-Drink Plan

Harumiya yakatabune

Reviewed by: Chibichanga, 2017/08/19

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.

Had a great experience last night on a traditional Yakatabune 屋形船 boat dinner / cruise operated by 屋形船 三河屋 Funayado Mikawaya.
We cruised up Sumida river, went under Rainbow bridge towards Odaiba /Ariake. We anchored in front of the Decks complex / Fuji TV building. Rainbow bridge and the Tokyo skyline looked pretty.
The food was good and there was plenty of 'all you can drink' drinks on offer. A great experience.

Lovely Chance to see a Different View of Tokyo

Reviewed by: AmesPerth, 2017/08/11

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.

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. :)
