Overview

Step aboard a traditional yakatabune houseboat and set out on a 60-minute scenic cruise through Tokyo Bay, where you can enjoy a specially arranged live performance against the backdrop of enchanting waterfront views.

Originally reserved for samurai and nobility, the yakatabune now offers travelers a rare opportunity to experience Japan’s living cultural heritage while sailing across the bay.

Each cruise features a live shamisen performance — the traditional three-stringed instrument renowned for its distinctive tones and rhythms. The shamisen can evoke both graceful, flowing melodies and bold, dynamic beats. Performed by a professional artist, the music transports you back in time, immersing you in the spirit of Edo and the timeless beauty of classical Japanese art.

Onboard, sit back and relax with complimentary soft drinks as Tokyo’s skyline drifts past your window.
This unforgettable waterborne cultural experience is perfect for travelers seeking a truly unique memory of Japan.

Show & Soft Drinks Only
