Osaka Castle
A classic cruise through the water city of Osaka, a place for history and nature
A sightseeing boat that lets you experience Osaka, the water city. The boat glides smoothly over the river at the same height as the water, allowing you to see Osaka from the perspective of a water bird, and the glass ceiling allows you to see all the way to the underside of bridges. From inside the boat, you can enjoy the riverside scenery of each season, including Nakanoshima Rose Garden in spring.
Night cruises are also available during the Christmas period!
The symbol of Nakanoshima, Osaka City Central Public Hall, can also be seen from the ship.
On board, there will be a cart selling canned beer, tea, and other drinks, as well as ice cream.
