Under the scenic canopy of Tokyo's cherry blossoms, drift peacefully down the Sumida River aboard an authentic yakatabune boat.
Celebrating the full bloom of the stunning sakura flowers, this tour offers an ideal opportunity to experience the ancestral spirit of Japan's cherished spring hanami parties.
In between gazing on the blooming trees dotting the riverbanks, passengers can indulge in a variety of traditional Japanese dishes, accompanied by festive beverages.
Yakatabune boats have a rich history that dates back to the Heian era, when they were richly decorated by the shogun who owned them. Today's versions continue to maintain this bygone charm, often decked with warmly glowing lanterns.
