Dinner river cruise - The river trip was very enjoyable. We took the 7:20pm trip to see city lights and enjoy a dinner on the boat. Our English speaking guide was helpful and had everyone organized. For Westeners … make sure you have socks on because you must remove your shoes on the boat. Also, be prepared to sit on ‘short’ chairs.

Nice boat ride along Tokyo Bay. - Nice experience overall. We removed our shoes before boarding and were seated at low tables, which added to the authentic atmosphere. We cooked our food and then they entertained us with a lively music performance. They soda with dinner and you can buy beer and drinks. Since we were seated inside and it was raining, we weren’t able to go outside for better photos of Tokyo Tower.

An experience not to be missed - This was an unforgettable evening ! Karen and the crew went above and beyond to make us comfortable and the hotpot dining experience, though a first for us, was exciting! The evening entertainment by @midoriasou was divine and she got us all to participate. The stopover for photos on the boat rooftop and Karen’s support in taking group photos was very generous. We also received a coin souvenirs to take away. A nice touch to a perfect evening. experience was worth every yen and I highly recommend!
