Discover the enchantment of Tokyo’s cherry blossoms aboard a traditional Yakatabune boat — a perfect fusion of breathtaking views, genuine culture, and Japanese culinary delights.

Dating back over a thousand years to the Heian period, Yakatabune boats were initially used by nobles and samurai for sophisticated moon-viewing events and later adopted by affluent merchants. Nowadays, these wooden vessels maintain their timeless design and interiors, providing guests with a cultural voyage through history as they glide along Tokyo’s cherry blossom-adorned rivers each spring.

Delight in the mesmerizing sound of the Shamisen, one of Japan’s most renowned traditional instruments. With a rich history, its clear and expressive tones were the essence of Edo-period banquets and theater, continuing to captivate audiences today.

Combine breathtaking cherry blossom vistas, live Shamisen performances, and authentic Japanese cuisine for an unforgettable springtime adventure in Tokyo.
