A very fun boat ride, tea, biscuits, and soda, and fun interactive songs. - My mum and I had a very fun time. I thought that a tea ceremony would be a little serious for a fun holiday, but it was very fun and easy. We had little japanese biscuits and chocolates. There were very fun interactive songs that we listened to live while drinking tea that we made. Making the matcha was very fun and simple, and if any people in your group may not like matcha there is also soda and little biscuits, and a very fun show. Our boat stopped at a very pretty spot in front of tokyo skytree, and we could walk on the top and take pictures. I would absolutely recommend this for families and couples, it’s very fun and easy. Getting onto the boat was also quite easy as they had steps on the boat, and it is only a very easy step.

This is a highly recommended experience - Excellent experience!!! Would certainly recommend. Yoyo and Yuhki Yuzu and her traditional Japanese guitarist made the experience wonderful and created memories that will last a lifetime.

Dinner River Cruise - Don’t go to transfer tickets more than 30 minutes ahead of time as there is no office, only a young lady standing on the warf of the River. Secluded but seemed safe enough on her approach to ask us if we were part of the activity.

Japanese Dinner Boat Experience - It isn't a dance show, it is someone singing. You cook your own food at the table which was a new experience. It all tasted great. Tried Saki and liked it. The lady manager spoke English very well. You get about 15 minutes up-top when the boat is in the harbour. Good opportunity take photos of the back of the "Statue of Liberty" which faces the land.

Good but not great - It was nice , but short, we expected to see more sights but the boat windows won’t allow much of outside views, i think it was little overpriced to what they offer.
