Reviews

“Great thanks to our guide whose smile we still remember. He made our experience very pleasant. My son enjoyed the trip, and we learned interesting details about the gates leading to the sea.”

“A fun and memorable experience for our family. We were mesmerized by the late-night scenery of Osaka. Just make sure to arrive early as the dock can be a bit tricky to find.”

“After a long day of walking, the 20-minute sunset boat ride was the perfect way to relax. My wife said this was the best part of our trip. Highly recommended.”
