Tastefully Japanese atmosphere in Asakusa -Experience a "Yakatabune" and see Tokyo's famous places while enjoying Japanese cuisine

【STORY】

Amisei located just a short distance from Senso-ji Temple's Kaminarimon, there is a Yakatabune (Japanese traditional boat) facility where you can enjoy the traditional atmosphere of Edo and take in a panoramic view of the Tokyo Skytree.

This experience will take you on a yakatabune (houseboat) tour of the bridges from Azuma-bashi to Odaiba to see around Tokyo in each of the four seasons from the surface of the river.

The yakatabune is a traditional Japanese style boat that originated approximately 1200 years ago.

It originally started as a "boating activity" for aristocrats,

The yakatabune became very popular as a way to enjoy a drink and a meal while viewing the cherry blossoms and snow on the boat.

In spring, enjoy the beautiful scenery of cherry blossoms with the murmuring of the river.
In summer, drink beer while listening to the sound of cicadas and wind chimes.
