Overview
Step aboard a traditional yakatabune houseboat and experience a cultural journey rooted in Japanese history. Beautifully decorated with seasonal cherry blossoms and elegant Japanese interiors,the boat offers a perfect setting for memorable photos. Originating in the Heian period and later popular among merchants and townspeople in the Edo period, the yakatabune remains a unique way to explore Japan from the water. Enjoy a live shamisen performance, a traditional Japanese string instrument known for its rich, expressive sound and deep cultural heritage. As you cruise through Tokyo Bay near Odaiba, you may also witness the Tokyo Aqua Symphony fountain show (approx. 10 minutes, subject to conditions), featuring synchronized water jets, music, and lighting effects. This experience combines traditional culture, live performance, and modern Tokyo waterfront scenery for an unforgettable journey. Please collect your Tokyo Tower ticket from the onboard guide. The ticket is valid for six months.
