Yakatabune

This was my first time on a Yakatabune and it was a unique and amazing experience. We travelled down the river to see views of the Rainbow Bridge, Skytree and Tokyo Tower. The Yakatabune stopped twice to let us go outsid... moree onto the roof to take photos. The night view of Tokyo was amazing.

We had a really nice table inside, with delicious Japanese food like sashimi and tempura. There was more than enough food and unlimited drinks.

I'd highly reccomend this for couples or a family.

Very good experience, unlimited food and drinks plus theres karaoke after dinner. Good with big groups though, the more people the more fun. Arigato for the nice experience!

The pier was easy to find, and there were several boats lined up and we were so excited and tried to ride each one, there was a man at the pier who finally told us which one was our boat.

It was funny watching everyon... moree coming down the earlier boats because they all looked tipsy!

When we got on board, the tables were already set with appetizers, and each table was assigned to a group. It was very interesting to see what each of the appetizers were, then we noticed a pot that had sukiyaki ready to cook!!! We tried the peach plum cocktail (all you can drink!)

We got served yummy shrimp, fish, veg tempura, then the candle under the sukiyaki pot was lit, as the boat sailed towards Odaiba. There was a stop at at Odaiba for a chance at amazing cityscape photos. By the time the candle burned out the sukiyaki was done - and it was very good and tasted clean and fresh.

Then there was a fun lion dance performed by one of the waiters - which was funny and quite entertaining.

All in all a fun first time experience for a Yakatabune cruise - would recommend you try it if you've never done one before.

Overall, it was Fantastic!!
-the staff was great
-food was outstanding
-views were wonderful

As an first time person coming to Japan, this was great to view the city over a delicious Japanese meal! We loved every ... moreminute.

The boat staff provided great service, and the food and drinks were delicious! During the cruise, there were a couple times when we were allowed up on top of the boat, to look at the Tokyo Skytree and also near the Yokoh... moreama Marina area. And there was also a traditional Japanese "lion dance", the first of which I had ever seen in person. It was a unique opportunity to bring the boat guests and crew together.
My wife and I were celebrating our 6-month anniversary, and so during the last part of the cruise, the MC came up to our table to invite us in front of everyone to announce why we were celebrating, and everyone cheered for us. It was a lovely memory for us, and I appreciated the opportunity so much.

The views were wonderful. The meal was great and the staff were excellent.
