A boat house in Shinagawa with over 170 years of history. Enjoy traditional yakatabune boat cruises, loved since the Edo period, all year round.

For private charters for groups of 20 or more, there are multiple course options with different menus. The banquet room can accommodate up to 80 people, and seating can be arranged to suit your needs, including tables or sunken kotatsu-style seating.

The roof area doubles as an open deck with panoramic views, offering sights such as Tokyo Tower, Rainbow Bridge, and many other Tokyo landmarks.

Shared cruises are also available for smaller groups, ideal for individuals. There is also a daytime-only short sightseeing cruise (private charter only, minimum 20 people). In just 1–2 hours, you can take in Tokyo’s highlights and enjoy lunch on board, making it a popular option as well.

  • I figured dining on the boat would be super basic, but it was surprisingly not bad. The Tokyo Bay night view was absolutely stunning.
