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.

I participated with seven classmates from high school. The tempura was freshly fried and delicious. The restroom was small and old, but it was clean and comfortable. 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.

A treat not only for our visitors but the locals as well, thouroughly recommend it!

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!

I always thought that riding a yakatabune (traditional Japanese boat) was something to do in the summer, but I heard that in December there are Christmas illuminations and fireworks, so I decided to take a ride on a winter yakatabune!
We gathered at the boat dock, about a 5-minute walk from Kachidoki Station. Since it was the year-end party season, there were more people than I expected. After waiting for a while, we boarded the boat, and drinks were served right away as we set off. On Saturdays in December, there are fireworks in Odaiba, so we took a reverse route from usual. We headed towards the Christmas illuminations in Odaiba and stopped for a while to wait for the fireworks. During that time, freshly made, crispy tempura was served, and I was very satisfied with the food! Before the fireworks, not many people went out onto the deck, and the illuminations along with other yakatabune created an indescribably beautiful scene.
When the fireworks started at 7 PM, I went up to the second floor and was greeted by the Rainbow Bridge and a spectacular display of fireworks right in front of me! It was the best spot! Although it was a short 10 minutes, it was amazing. After the fireworks, we enjoyed the remaining food while heading towards Asakusa. We also got to see the Skytree lit up in green for Christmas, and it reminded me of the wonderful aspects of Tokyo. The lady who was serving and guiding us was fluent in English, so I definitely plan to use this service again when friends from abroad visit!
屋形船に乗るなら絶対夏だなーとなんとなく思っていましたが、12月はクリスマスイルミネーションと花火があると聞いて真冬の屋形船に乗ってきました!
勝どき駅から徒歩5分くらいの船着場に集合。忘年会シーズンということもあり、思った以上に人が集まってました。暫く待って乗船し、すぐに飲み物が配られ、出発。12月の土曜は花火がお台場で花火があるため普段とは逆ルートで回るとのこと。クリスマスイルミネーションのお台場に向かって進んで行き、暫らく止まって花火待ち。その間にも揚げたてサクサクの天ぷらが配られ、料理にも大満足!花火前は甲板に出る人も少なく、イルミネーションと他の屋形船が光を放ってなんとも言えない綺麗さでした。19時に花火が始まって2階に上がってみると目の前にはレインボーブリッジと大輪の花火!ベスポジでした!!10分程度と短い時間でしたが最高でした。花火が終わって残りの料理を食べつつ、浅草方面へ。クリスマス仕様で緑色に光るスカイツリーも見れて、改めて東京の良い所が見れました。運びとガイドをしていたお姉さんは英語も堪能で、海外から友人が来たら是非また利用しようと思います♪

This is my second time participating, following my first visit about three years ago. I looked at other options, but since I wanted to invite my mother-in-law and my parents, I decided to go with this place again, where I was satisfied last time.
On the day of the event, I strolled around Hamarikyu until the meeting point, passing through Tsukiji, enjoying a walk in Tokyo. It was beautiful as the lights began to illuminate. At the boarding area, which is visible right from Reimei Bridge, two boats were already docked, and many participants had gathered.
One boat was reserved by a company, and the other was for our group. From the moment we boarded, the staff member Kaoruko provided guidance in both English and Japanese, which was reassuring for my mother-in-law, who doesn't understand Japanese. I think this service wasn't available last time, but perhaps it was tailored to the clientele.
I was delighted with the seasonal appetizers, but it seemed that my two-year-old child and my parents particularly enjoyed the Edo-style tempura served one dish at a time! The all-you-can-drink option was also great, and they encouraged us to try a lot, which was fun.
My mother-in-law was pleased with the fan-shaped menu that also served as a guide to Tokyo. Taking photos on the deck at various points was essential, and these little touches were perfect for the hospitality.
This time, my child was the only small one, but with Kaoruko's care and the understanding of those around us, we were able to relax comfortably. Towards the end, my father discovered that someone from the neighboring group was from the same hometown, which created a sense of camaraderie and made us feel the joy of being part of a shared experience.
I look forward to participating again!
約3年前に続き2回目の参加です。
他も見ましたが義理の母、私の両親を招待するので、自分が前回満足できたこちらに再度お願いすることにしました。

乗り込む際からスタッフの薫子さんが英語と半々で案内してくださったので、日本語が分からない義母にも安心でした。前回は無かったサービスだと思いますが、客層に合わせた器量でのおもてなしだったのかもしれません。

義母は扇子状のメニュー兼東京案内に喜んでいました。ポイントポイントでデッキでの写真撮影も欠かせないですが、細かなところがおもてなしにピッタリなんですね。
今回小さな子供はうちの子だけでしたが、薫子さんのケアを始め周りの方のご理解があり、居心地よく過ごさせていただきました。
終盤では隣のグループの方と父が同郷ということが分かって一気に一体感が高まり、乗合の醍醐味みたいなものを感じられる時間でした。

The guides on the boat only spoke Japanese, so we had no idea what we were looking at or what they were saying. They did a lot of speaking. Even ordering plum wine was a challenge. I feel that they should have had some narration for non-Japanese speaking people. What we saw was very pretty and the food was very good, so the only complaint is language problem.

Since watching the movie "PIKANCHI" by Arashi, I had been longing to experience a yakatabune (houseboat), and I finally went for it.
I had the impression that yakatabune was mainly for banquets in a tatami room, but you can actually join with a small group of people easily. On the day, there were about ten of us, including a group of older folks reminiscent of a reunion, a pair of women resembling a girls' night out, and my family of three. Instead of tatami seating, we had table seats separated by groups, allowing us to enjoy ourselves without worrying about others.
And what impressed me the most was the freshly fried tempura—it was amazing! They serve each piece freshly fried, and every tempura was delicious! The tempura of anago (conger eel) was particularly outstanding! Enjoying exquisite dishes while gazing at the flowing scenery along the Sumida River from the boat was truly special.
The route took us from Kuramae to Odaiba, where we stopped for a bit before heading back. The boatman guided us through the highlights, sharing insights that I wouldn't have noticed just by looking around myself, which was very informative.
I definitely want to come back during cherry blossom season next time. I imagine the night cherry blossoms would be beautiful!
嵐のPIKANCHIという映画を見て以来憧れていた屋形船、ついに行ってみました。
屋形船って、なんとなく座敷で宴会というイメージがありましたが、乗合で少人数でも気軽に参加できます。当日は同窓会っぽい年配の方のグループ、女子会っぽい2人組、私たち家族連れ3人の10名ほどで運行。座敷ではなくテーブル席でグループ毎に席が分かれており、他の方々に気兼ねすることなく楽しめました。
そしてなんと言っても感動したのは、揚げたての天ぷらがサイコーです!一品ずつ揚げたてを出してくれるのですが、どの天ぷらもウマイ!特にアナゴの天ぷらは最強でした!船上から隅田川沿いの流れ行く景色を眺めながらの絶品料理、また格別です。
運行ルートは蔵前からお台場まで行き、少し停泊した後に戻ってきました。船頭さんがみどころを案内してくれます。自分でなんとなく見ただけでは気付かないことも教えてくれて、ためになりました。
今度は桜の時期にぜひまた来たいと思います。夜桜とか見たらキレイなんだろうなー。

I participated in a yakatabune (traditional Japanese houseboat) experience with my parents who came from Kyushu, enjoying a typical Tokyo night together across three generations. This was my second time on this yakatabune, having joined it two winters ago. The service quality remains consistently excellent, and I was once again very satisfied!
The highlight of the evening was the food, which seemed to have improved in quality compared to my last visit. The seasonal appetizers were beautifully crafted, and each one was delicious. Even the kids, who usually don’t eat much vegetables or tofu, exclaimed, "This is delicious!" The freshly fried tempura, a highlight of the yakatabune experience, was outstanding! While the dipping sauce was good, the simple taste of salt on the hot tempura was delightful. For dessert, there were two types: fruit and wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets). I ended up quite full.
The all-you-can-drink menu included a variety of options like beer (Ichiban Shibori!), shochu (and sour drinks), wine, and umeshu (plum wine), making the time on board feel too short... If I had to wish for something, I would have liked a few more options for soft drinks (the kids had only cola and orange juice).
Last time, an ice cream vendor came by the boat, but this time it was a vendor selling asari (clams) tsukudani (a type of preserved food). At 1000 yen per pack, it seemed a bit pricey in hindsight, but I bought two for my parents and myself, and they sold out right after. It was a lucky moment. Shopping on the boat added to the unique experience, creating wonderful memories.
The night views of Tokyo Skytree and Odaiba are always beautiful, no matter how many times you see them. Personally, I love the night view of the bright red Tokyo Tower the most. It seems that there will be fireworks at Odaiba on Saturday nights in December, so if you visit during that time, I think you can enjoy the yakatabune experience even more.
九州から出てきた両親と共に、東京らしい夜の過ごし方ということで、三世代で屋形船に参加しました。この屋形船は2年前の冬に参加して、今回で2回目。やっぱり安定したサービスクオリティです。もちろん今回も満足です!
一番の楽しみの料理は、前回よりもグレードがアップしていたような気がします。季節感が感じられる前菜は、一つ一つが手が込んでいて、どれも美味。普段はあまり野菜や豆腐などを食べない子供たちも「美味しい!」と平らげていました。屋形船の醍醐味である揚げたての天麩羅は、文句なし!天つゆもいいですが、揚げたてなのでシンプルに塩が美味しかったです。デザートは果物と和菓子の2種類。かなりお腹いっぱいになりました。
飲み放題は、ビール(一番搾り!)や焼酎(サワー類)、ワイン、梅酒など種類も多く、下船までの時間が惜しかったくらい...。欲を言えば、ソフトドリンクの種類がもう少しあるといいかなと思いました(子供向けは、コーラとオレンジジュースの2種類です)。
前回はアイスクリーム売りの船が来ましたが、今回はあさりの佃煮売りの船が来ました。1パック1000円と今考えて見れば少し高いのですが、残り僅かということで両親と自分の家用に2個購入したところで、売り切れ御礼。ラッキー。船の上で買い物をするという非日常感で、良い思い出になりました。
東京スカイツリーやお台場の夜景は、何度見てもいいですね。個人的には真っ赤な東京タワーの夜景が一番好きです。12月の土曜日にはお台場で花火が行われるようですので、その時期であれば、もっと屋形船を楽しめると思います。

Last year, when I participated, there was an event where everyone celebrated the birthday guests. After seeing that, my son said he definitely wanted to ride on a yakatabune again for his next birthday, so we joined again this time to celebrate his birthday.
The freshly fried tempura was as delicious as ever, and having all-you-can-drink with it is truly appreciated. Most of the staff were different from last time, but both then and now, everyone was really pleasant, and we had a wonderful time.
Additionally, this time there was a surprise with a comedian on board who performed a traditional Japanese act with a folding fan and a lion dance. There were many guests from abroad as well, which made it very lively.
And then came the much-anticipated celebration event. Besides my two children, there were several other birthday guests, and we all celebrated together. On this day, not only were there birthdays, but there was also a couple who had just gotten married that day, and we shared in their happy atmosphere.
It was a day where I felt that the scenery, food, drinks, and this sense of togetherness are the true essence of a yakatabune experience.

My father, uncle, and I participated together.
It was my and my father's first experience on a traditional Japanese houseboat, and we had a wonderful time.
The boarding area was near the Oedo Line's Kachidoki Station, which was easy to find even for us who were unfamiliar with the area.
We confirmed our names with the beautiful cabin attendant and boarded the boat. As soon as we got on, we saw the kitchen and greeted the staff, who responded with a smile, saying, "Enjoy your time!" This made us even more excited.
The other guests included salarymen and a group of ladies celebrating a 90th birthday, among others. There was also a couple at a table, and as someone who had the image of a houseboat being solely for parties, I realized, "This can be used for various occasions," which was an eye-opener for me.
As the boat started moving, we felt the excitement from the sound of the motor, while the city lights and illuminated bridges outside the window thrilled us! The cabin attendant provided information at key points, and my father, who loves taking photos, was happily capturing every moment.
The food was delicious. I was delighted that the tempura was freshly fried! We devoured everything from vegetables to fish. Also, having unlimited bottled beer added to the luxurious feeling. Hehe.
We were able to enjoy a truly extraordinary experience. Thank you!
父、叔父、私の3人で参加。
父と私は初屋形船で、とても楽しい経験をさせていただきました。
乗り場は大江戸線勝どき駅エキチカ。
周辺に土地勘のない我々でもわかりやすく助かりました。
美人キャビンアテンダントさんに名前を確認してもらって、乗船。
乗り込んですぐのところにキッチンが見えたので、スタッフさんに挨拶すると
「楽しんでいってくだいね〜」と笑顔で応えていただいて、ウキウキ度倍増。
同乗のお客さんは、サラリーマンの方々や90歳バースデイの淑女グループなど様々でした。
おしどり夫婦おふたりのテーブルもあり、屋形船=宴会のイメージだった私は
「様々なシーンに使えるんだなぁ」と、目からちょっとした鱗が落ちました。
船が走り出すと、結構なモーター音に臨場感を覚えながらも、
窓の外に見える街あかりや橋のライトアップにわくわく!
要所要所でキャビンアテンダントさんによる案内が入ったりして、
写真好きな父もシャッターチャンスを逃すことなく、ほくほくの様子でした。
お食事もおいしかったです。
天ぷらが揚げたてなのは嬉しかった!
お野菜からお魚から、ぺろりと平らげてしまいました。
あと、飲み放題ビールが瓶だったのも、ゴージャス気分。うふふ。
非日常感たっぷりのひとときを過ごすことができました。
ありがとうございました!

We decided spontaneously to join a boat trip, and we didn't regret it at all. The atmosphere was extremely friendly, the staff was kind and very attentive.
It is worth to try the trip even with kids, as we did with 7 and 10 years old.
We had lots of fun on the boat, even though we were the only foreigners there and we didn't really understand all the food and cultural presentation that was provided for the guests.

This cruise really made our trip! The food was excellent, the service was phenomenal, and we even got personal attention by an English-speaking guide (as we were the only English-speaking on the boat). We saw so many great sights and had so many awesome photo opportunities.
You are seated at your own individual table and it is a very nice "date-night" setting. The group all together was in great cheer and intermingled between meals and during the rooftop sightseeing.
The weather was fair and it rained a little but this did not affect the spirits of the crew, the passengers, or any of the amazing sights we saw!
This boat ride is a MUST for your next trip to Tokyo!!!

This night went beyond our expectations. We had a great time with all the people on board,who were mainly Japanese. The MC/hostess was bilingual and such a lovely woman,friendly and hard-working. Entertainment was a bonus and the food was really fresh and authentic. It was a perfect evening for us and we were expecting a mediocre night because of the rain. Luckily it stopped just as we got into Odaiba and we could take in the amazing view. I can`t believe I haven`t done this before. Highly recommended and worth the cost.

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.

乗船頂きありがとうございました。料理の方は喜んでいただけたとのことでよかったです。運航コースについてはご期待に応えることができず、申し訳ございませんでした。お花見時期には通常コースと違うコースになることを記載いたします。また1時間30分コースでは通常コースでおお台場には時間的に行くことができませんので、お台場をご希望の場合は2時間30分コースをご利用いただければと思います。
