Invitation to explore Osaka, an aqua metropolis, by a cruise on a river along with the light, comical storytelling of Rakugo comedians. This state-of-the-art boat trip is filled with excitement as it cruises through sluice gates like those on the Panama Canal and under low bridges. The tour guides you to Osaka’s unique and famous spots, including the popular advertising display of Dotombori and the Osaka City Central Public Hall in Nakanoshima. The boat has a glass ceiling. The passengers’ compartment allows for passing under low bridges with its elevation system. (Depending on the boat condition, an open-air boat may be used.)
