Great experience - We had a brilliant time on the night cruise, I would recommend this…. As the city gets very crowded and it can get difficult to get to photos of all the lights! Yes I would do it again. Thank you 🥰

Not bad - Look it’s a 10 mins ride, plenty of opportunities to take photo. Host is amazing and funny. The boat has a cover on top which hinders from taking photo video whilst you’re sitting inside the boat. You can’t stand.if you’re stuck in the middle aisle you just have to wait for the host to tell you to come up when he stops to take photos. Should be cheaper for this sort of thing.

Okay - The cruise was ok but hard to find and it was too short. The staff on the boat were fun and helpful.

Do only if you have 20 mins to see Dotonbori, otherwise walk it. - We booked this cruise thinking it would be a nice leisurely cruise up and down the river where we would see lots of things and take lots of photos. It was that, but they only stopped once at the Running Man (for a total of 3 minutes to get everyones photo taken). There were seats lined up on the boat and if you weren't on the left or right you couldn't get nice photos and the top of the boat got in the way of most photos. Walking back afterwards along the water front gave me much better photos and less rushed. Worth the experience, but wouldn't do it again.

Four friends decided to take a short ride on the river. A little hard to find nased on description of location - Tourist trap but nice way to see the hopping nightlife. Location instructions not clear but findable. If you want to have a quick view of the riverside of the area this is an easy option. Staff very friendly

Probably best to just walk along the river bank. - The crew and staff put a lot of effort in to their job but at the end of the day it's just a 6 or 7 minutes ride up the river a 5 minute stop and back to the drop off point - just walk it.

Don't book this. - This ticketing reservation system is horrible. You are better off buying your reservation tickets on the actual website instead of on Trip Advisor. Although the workers seemed nice, they were unaccommodating.
