Your Experience

Embark on a Historical Voyage

Begin your journey through history on a Yakatabune, a traditional houseboat that dates back to the Heian period (794-1185). As you step onboard, prepare for a serene voyage on Tokyo Bay, taking in the stunning cityscape from the rooftop seating area. A highlight of the journey is a live shamisen performance, where the three-stringed instrument's enchanting melody infuses your cruise with a magical atmosphere.
