Asakusa Yakatabune Boat Ride with Meals & All-You-Can-Drink Beverages | Tokyo, Japan

A great experience on Yakatabune. Food and drink is good and very friendly and helpful staffs.

We missed the Sakura this year because the bloom is delay. But still enjoy the cruise. We will come again next time.

First, you check in at the office across from the bridge and river docks, then you can wait there until everyone has arrived. There is an employee that spoke to us in English to assist us, we greatly appreciated it. Shoes are taken off at the entrance and all parties get their own table. The tables are pre-set so you can start to enjoy the food right away! It was so delicious. The office staff spoke Japanese but did their best to communicate with us. The fresh tempura was to die for, the view was excellent, and so was the company! At certain points you can go up to the roof and take in the sites, it’s quite breath taking. My husband and I would definitely do this again, the whole experience was incredible and one of the best parts of our trip!! Thank you to the staff and Yakatabune Tsurishin company for making a wonderful memory.

Boat was set up with separate tables, everything looked very nice, food was really tasty and fresh. All you can drink alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Tour guide did her best to point out sights to us even though her English was limited. Showed my teen when to go outside to get the best photos. Would definitely do this again, good value.

I booked the trip for Valentine's Day and we both enjoyed it very much! The sashimi and crab legs were fresh and delicious and it was really nice to go up to the roof and take photos.

the view is superb and the food is great!!! Alll tge staff

Food was exceptional and the view of the Rainbow bridge is beautiful.

The cruise staff were friendly and helpful, and there was plenty of food and drink (and they adjusted the menu for my wife as she is not keen on shellfish). Enjoyable and relaxing way to spend an evening!

Overall a pretty good experience. I think the menu selection could’ve been better. Great view throughout the cruise.

A trip to Tokyo with my mother in her 70s. Rather than visiting the usual tourist attractions, we wanted to have a special experience, so we chose the Yakatabune Dinner Cruise. To sum it up, it was the most satisfying choice on this trip. We arrived at the office right in front of the pier about an hour early, checked in, and went to the bathroom for a while. (For reference, I was surprised that the office bathroom was as clean as a hotel bathroom.) Then, we boarded the ship about 10 minutes early. The ship we boarded was A, and there were about 15 passengers of various nationalities, including Koreans, Japanese, and Westerners. The seats were set in advance, and some of the food was prepared. We ordered the 'Spring Day Set', which consisted of sashimi, steamed crab, grilled fish, and fried food on the spot. The fried food was particularly impressive, as they fried various ingredients such as sea bream, eel, gamaji, eggplant, and sweet potato right on the spot. The drinks were unlimited, including beer, whiskey, shochu, sake, wine, and highball, and you could enjoy as many drinks as you want. The cruise departed from Asakusa and sailed toward Odaiba, passing major attractions along the Sendai River, and you could hear friendly explanations in Japanese and English. The consideration that the boat stopped for a while so that you could take pictures was impressive, and in particular, under the Rainbow Bridge in Odaiba, you were given time to go up to the rooftop for about 20 minutes to take pictures with the night view. The 2 hour and 30 minute cruise was the perfect time to enjoy a wonderful dinner, drinks, and the beautiful night view of Tokyo all at once. I sincerely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a different experience in Tokyo.
