Product Description

Step aboard a traditional Japanese Yakatabune and enjoy an unforgettable cruise through Tokyo Bay, where history, culture, and cuisine blend into one mesmerizing evening. Originally reserved for nobles and samurai during the Heian and Edo periods, Yakatabune boats became popular among the wealthy and are now open to the public, offering a refined glimpse into traditional Japanese leisure.

This immersive experience includes live shamisen performances, a delicious Japanese sukiyaki dinner, traditional kimono dance shows (afternoon cruise), and views of Tokyo’s most iconic landmarks including the Rainbow Bridge, Fuji TV, Tokyo Tower, and the Tokyo Statue of Liberty.

Whether you’re cruising by day or night, the serene ambiance of Tokyo Bay paired with lantern-lit interiors and soft melodies creates a truly unique atmosphere.

Guest Reviews

• “An incredible cultural evening. The shamisen musicians created a lively, festive mood and the staff were very attentive, even going out of their way to make sure I was comfortable when I mentioned I had a headache.”
• “The performance, food, and Tokyo skyline views were amazing. The team was welcoming and professional—truly a highlight of our trip.”
• “Everything was wonderful except the pricing for children. Paying the full adult price for our 3-year-old felt unnecessary, especially with smaller food portions.”
