Departing from Hachiken-Yahama, the hub of water transport, you will go on a 70-minute cruise while looking at the cityscape of Osaka. The beautifully polished private boat made of mahogany wood will escort you to the river cruise smartly. As the boat holds 10 passengers only, you can share the private space with your family or friends. Feel free to bring food and drink in the boat. The views from the river change depending on the season and time of day. You may have fun no matter how many times you take the cruise. 

A bouquet can be prepared as a paid option.  Why not take the opportunity to make a romantic proposal?

You will feel special to see the busy downtown of Osaka stretching from Nipponbashi to Dotonbori from the boat. Passing by the Hommachibashi Pier, you may discover a new Osaka as you go down the Higashi-Yokobori River, partly covered by the Hanshin Expressway stretching over the river, which is not usually seen. You will pass through the Panama Canal type sluice gate after leaving Dotonbori. Osaka City Central Public Hall seen from Nakanoshima Island is just breathtaking. Appreciate the hidden gem of Osaka from the river!
