We had an absolute blast on the River Cruise! The hosts made us feel so welcome and the commentary was a pure highlight! Would 1000% recommend to do this at least once in Osaka

The cruise down the Dotonbori was a fantastic way to see the Neon lights. Really enjoyed the music on board. Highly recommended for a family with teenagers.

The cruise feels a little too short but it is what it is. I'd recommend having music and let people enjoy the view, rather than a person on the microphone explaining every sign and restaurant alongside the river. This felt more of a first day in Osaka experience, and in our case, it was the last night after a whole week there. Still, I would recommend doing it.

Glide along the Dotonbori Canal for 30 minutes and pass under nine bridges, including Nipponbashi, to see a different view of the city's structure and architecture.

Take a closer look at Dotonbori's famous 3D billboards, including the moving crab and the famous Glico Running Man.

Cruise by the giant Ferris wheel at Don Quijote while learning about the river's history from the tour guide.

Enjoy comfortable seating and experience the Osaka cityscape at night with neon lights from buildings reflecting on the water's surface, creating a unique view.
